Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.

The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

Live your life in a way that Dr. Jane Goodall doesn’t spend her last interview talking about how much you suck

Taking a break from Facebook and severely limiting who has access to me. Things are feeling pretty overwhelming.

Sweet convergence of old man cat paws

An example of why we are so effed here in Texas. Free vaccine clinic and people are laugh reacting and spreading so much ignorant misinformation in the comments. I can’t even…

My mom’s headstone

The hole in the ground that was dug for my mom’s biodegradable urn. The urn is in the ground and notes we wrote to her during her memorial service were placed on top before the hole was closed.

My mom and me smiling

I see you in the dandelions, I see you in the skies. I see you in the mirror in my blue-grey eyes.

💜💜💜

Missing my mom, gone 4 years now.

We will start at 5pm PT/7pm CT.

Tired, grumpy white and black cat on the back of the sofa

Tired Lyra looks into the camera. She is holding an Adventure Time mug of coffee to her lips and is wearing a bathrobe.

Life has been a struggle. Hard to breathe kinda struggle. Scream into the void kinda struggle. Whisky and I seem to be in agreement.

It was decided I wouldn’t receive the MMR vaccine as a teen due to health concerns. Now we are facing a potential measles outbreak in San Antonio because of someone who could have been vaccinated wasn’t. I’ve scheduled an MMR vaccine for tomorrow. I am thankful my health now allows for this.

Fighting facism is a full-time job

Over 13 million birds (MANY chickens included) have been killed as companies struggle to manage bird flu. This breaks my heart. I cannot even fathom it. 😞😭

Interacting w/ Officers • On foot & not detained: You are not required to answer questions. You can answer all questions with: "I am exercising my right to remain silent." • At the end of the encounter: You may end an encounter with a police officer by asking: "Am I free to go?" • If the officer says yes, you may leave. • If the officer replies with anything other than "yes" you may reply with "am I being detained?" • If they respond with anything other than "yes," you may state that you do not wish to continue speaking and leave immediately. • Searches: Police may pat you down if they suspect that you're concealing a weapon. Do not resist or touch the officer, but clearly state that you do not consent to any further searches. • Judges may determine silence as consent to the searches.

Interacting w/ Officers, Pt 2 • If you are detained: You may be required to provide your name, address, and date of birth. It is a criminal offense to give false or inaccurate information to a police officer, threaten them, or resist arrest. After providing required info, you may state "I am exercising my right to remain silent, and I would like to speak to an attorney." • Remember that anything you say can be used against you. • After arrest: Before participating in a protest, try to identify an attorney or trusted friend who could help you if you are arrested. Memorize or write that person's phone number on your body. • If you do not have access to an attorney, the government is required to appoint you one, but there could be a delay of hours or days depending on where you are arrested, and you have a right to remain silent during that time.

If Your Rights Have Been Violated • Write down everything you remember, including witness contact information and the officers' names, badge numbers, patrol car numbers, and the agency they work for. • Take photographs or video of any injuries. • Contact an attorney: You may consult a private attorney, contact your local bar association, or call the Texas Lawyer Referral Service operated by the State Bar of Texas at 1-800-252-9690 or 1-877-9TEXBAR (toll-free). • File a complaint: If you think the police have acted outside their authority, don't protest or resist on the scene. File a written complaint with the agency's internal affairs division or civilian complaint board. • Report the incident to the ACLU of Texas: If you believe that your rights have been violated, visit aclutx.org/intake to submit a legal intake.

I attended ACLU Texas’s “Protest: Know Your Rights” webinar this evening. These are great protest tips that were presented in their slideshow. I did not change the wording—just transformed into images that are easy to read for anyone who may be using assistive technology.

Best alt text ever! Great hat too. :)

Sadly that is from 2016. Anonymous needs to make a comeback.

You lifted a total of 5880 pounds. That’s like lifting a van!

It’s my dad’s deathiversary—he took his life three years ago. I woke up with a massive headache and slept weirdly, so I took the day off. I went and got a workout in even though I was not feeling like it. How are you caring for yourself today?
