I did some quick repairs on it today. Hopefully it holds up for a while because I sure as hell can't afford a new one rn

Idk how long I walked around with a sproingy metal bit hanging out of my knee brace yesterday but I guess I'm glad nobody made it weird. (I hate that I now have one more thing to add to my pile of things to mend, but I certainly can't afford a new one)

a drawing of Beast Boy from the Teen Titans (circa sometime in the 80s, I would guess) saying "and if I didn't keep telling jokes all the time, I think my head would blow up from depression"

Everything I've seen about BYD is so freaking cool. I'd buy one in a heartbeat if they were available in the us (and I had car money 💀)

Can someone explain like I'm 5 why a government shutdown isn't just a big ass political scam to keep the proletariat fighting each other instead of the assholes in power?

sounds like we should maybe make a list of people who hung out with RFK jr ever and prosecute them

niche thought: if we didn't want us to use "Jesus Christ" as a swear we should've named him something way less satisfyingly crunchy

Trying to remind myself that the standards of success in this country were set by men with coke addictions who hate their families and their wives with pill problems doing all the unpaid labor at home, and I do not aspire to be like them.

Eight thousand iterations of this discourse later, there is no political utility in calling fascists fat. All you're doing is propping up the brutal hierarchy which lets people like them work up from deniable social torture to state violence.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

When those Most Frequently Banned Books lists are all books from dead authors, it kinda suggests to me that they’ve accumulated an outsized amount of bans since they’ve all been around a long time, much longer than books by living authors. I don’t think William Golding needs your dollars right now.

2 year old stepped on this snake last night and I about had a heart attack. So thankful it was a gopher snake. I've never seen a snake out this late in the year

Any trans person who begins their transition today is exhibiting more courage than most people will in their entire lives.

He's too dumb and too sweet to live life as a barn cat

Meet Not Our Cat, aka NOC. He's been hanging around our property for months and has recently decided we're now bffs. This week, Fresno TNR and The Kirkland Foundation helped me get him neutered. I love this chatty little weirdo and need to find a cozy indoor home for him.

Okay, how do I get a job with the xerces society? I, too, can talk your ear off about wasps at events.
But I'm no waspologist.

We don’t talk enough about the

skeptical of white people / skeptical of white liberals / not skeptical enough of white fascists

pipeline…

We had rain the last few days and my soul needed this whole moment so badly. I'm glad you're getting it too

We had a pumpkin (ig?) pop up in the compost this spring. I threw some of it into a pot and brought it up to the garden to see what would happen. Mostly nothing, but I have been eating a lot of squash blossoms. There's now one fruit, and I'm really hoping we get one ripe pumpkin from this thing

And it was a giant, noisy, stinky, work truck that always made me queasy by the time I got to school. The radio noise of choice didn't help

Limbaugh 🤮

Thinking about the phrase "political violence" and the number of people who've died on Rikers Island in just the last month.

Spread calm. Tell the truth. Defend vulnerable people who are under attack. Getting stuck in a reactive mode is exhausting, and exhaustion can make us weak.

A deer in my back yard at sunset. Blue and purple mountains in the background. Pink, purple, and light twilight sky

She's back.
As long as she doesn't bring hungry teenagers in to the garden to decimate everything else, I guess I can keep sharing.
I did finally spot a big buck in this same spot, so she isn't alone

For the people arguing with me:

Show me the moment of silence the Yankees held for a TRANS PERSON. Not "the Pulse LGBT nightclub shooting," a trans person specifically. Show me the moment of silence of Palestinians. Show me the moment of silence for George Floyd. Give me a link. I'll wait.

Charlie Kirk on mass shooting victims: we cannot allow them to emotionally hijack the narrative

*this* is the dude y'all want to humanize all of the sudden?

pass

*extremely Doc Brown in Back to the Future voice*: Charlie Kirk? the famous Nazi?

There is way too much concern trolling happening on here. Kirk shouldn’t have been shot and political violence is bad, but people need to quit pretending Kirk wasn’t a deeply evil man who made his bed and was made to lie in it. Meanwhile a school in my kid’s district had a mass shooting today.

you misspelled "I will be holding public hearings immediately on RFK Jr.'s mismanagement of HHS, and even though we do not have the power of the majority, these hearings will be televised live and Republicans are welcome to join if they care about Americans' health even a tiny bit"
