Buffy is so old there were only 103 named elements, we’re at 118 now.

(Yes I pause every show that has a periodic table to see if its period accurate)

This is me.

Isn't it important to ask: who is being targeted right now? Who’s losing their rights? Who’s profiting from division and fear? And are you really helping fight authoritarianism by dehumanizing people with insults like “human garbage”? Or are you 12? Or a bot?

This is a well-funded attack on working-class people, and here you are saying, 'Those silly working-class people aren’t CRYING ENOUGH.' Many can’t protest more because they’re working multiple jobs to stay afloat. The focus should be on addressing the systemic issues they’re up against.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Remind you of anyone?

Angus King Pulled a Paul Revere And it’s on us to hear the warning—and respond.

If you’re reading my writing, odds are you already know most of what King spoke about.

What you may not fully realize is that your voice matters. Your letters, your phone calls, your presence—they make a difference.

im sorry to be so divisive and partisan but i dont think the government should be inventing a criminal history out of thin air to justify sending someone to a concentration camp in a foreign country

A tweet by Sarah Longwell (@SarahLongwell25 ) reads: "He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. Don’t you see what’s happening here?"

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

person: so what motivates you to keep going every day

me: (zero hesitation) have you ever met a cat or a dog

Inspiring! This Man Runs a Local Newspaper but Struggles with Simple Definitions of Words! An Open Letter to the Fort Fairfield Journal’s David Deschesne, Editor/Publisher

The following is a response to a small local newspaper published in the town where my family farm is located. You may have seen that the Fort Fairfield Journal recently ran an ad for a book burning by a well-known neo-Nazi.

“BRING HIM HOME” 🔥

"how are things?"

No thanks, April Fools' Day. I can tell upsetting lies to my friends and family all year round.

If you feel the need to bash rural people, I’m gonna ask how many rural doors you knocked. I’m gonna ask how many calls you made to rural people. I’m going to ask how many rural democratic candidates you supported. Because if you’re out here running your mouth, I assume you did the work like I did.

Is it just me or was Keanu Reeves' performance in Sonic 3 a bit wooden?

The USDA's Decision to Cut Local Food Programs: Why It’s a Bad Move for Schools and Local Farmers Lets break down this concept:

"The very system that sustains communities—local farms, local economies, and local food production—could be jeopardized, all in the name of saving a few dollars for a select few. This isn’t just about food; it’s about who controls the resources that sustain us." #maine #USDA

Politics hasn't been this simple in a long time: do you think it's good for one man to exercise unchecked, arbitrary power or not. Those are the two available ideologies right now

*Terminator hands you a collection of Joan Didion's nonfiction writing* "We tell ourselves stories in order to live if you want to live."

Sometimes I have really stressful dreams. Often, after I wake from these dreams, I will find my two little grey cats sleeping on either side of me. Each tucked in closely. Thats it. I just like that feeling. hashtag cats.

joke's on you I DID 'go cry about it' and compassion has made me more powerful

A quick anecdote on being a Maine "Student Athlete" When winning and records are the priority what does that teach? Who does that encourage?

This is what I looked like when a beloved pubic school coach threw a basketball at my head as hard as he could because I laughed when he missed a basket.

it would be an oversimplification to call it a "bad time". It's a lots of things time.

anytime it rains I'm like "oh the deserts miss this"

You know, Canadians don't HAVE to be nice to us. It's not their job to pat those of us who voted for Harris/Walz on the head and say "you're OK."

I don't get the purpose of "we're the GOOD Americans" energy. Same folks don't care about perception when we're wreaking havoc across the Global South.

A very cool wicker-faced medieval beekeeper outfit.

Another medieval beekeeper outfit.

Some old drawings of medieval beekeeper outfits.

I think medieval beekeeper outfits could be the strongest look in the entire history of fashion.
