I want everyone who has spent years in therapy wondering what is wrong with them, wondering why they had so many bad relationships, why they felt so much dread, to know that it was in part because you were living in a world run by evil, evil people and you could tell that somewhere deep down

It’s a month late, but here is my Christmas card to everyone. Cheers from aboard Izadora.

Yes, I do still exist in the universe in shadow form.

Owners report that the galley is their favorite feature of the Fast Passage 39. It has a concise work triangle, plenty of counter space, and not a large area to be tossed around. A few (as pictured) have added the waist height stainless rail to A) hang dish rags, B) grab onto, or C) clip into. 🍻

Chili vibes.

I would argue that we entered a constitutional crisis when we were unable to adjudicate those that attempted a coup in 2020-21 and subsequently convinced the larger part of the American idiocracy that they needed to be reinstalled to power anyway.

As an archaeologist, daffodils were one clue that we were on a historic property that had been reclaimed by the woods.

Petition for @claudiasheinbaum.bsky.social to change the Gulf of California to the Gulf of Mexico. Let’s get crazy!

Ken Klipperstein leaked full passport guidance for trans people:

- X markers will be a focal point
- Existing unexpired passports will remain good
- No guidance on confiscation, but it doesn’t seem like they will
- Renewals less clear but it looks like they will use “a preponderance of evidence”

America’s all new economic model The neoliberal economic model has gone, and been replaced by something much more powerful – and troubling

“They fetishise efficiency and understand the democratic state as an impediment to the sort of “progress” they desire. For devotees to what the philosopher Curtis Yarvin calls turbocapitalism – wherein maximizing profit depends on seizing the state apparatus…”

Finally another use for fish sauce! 😄

I stand with the trans community. Pass it along.

Hello @theboatgalley.com! This podcast listener would like to know if you do any fermentables while aboard? I’m a homebrewer on shore who would also like to experiment with making sauerkraut, kombucha and the like while cruising. Love the show! 🩵 Daphne

This too is SoCal.
The Sunrise highway is just an hour away from the warm sunshine in Borrego Springs, 4000’ higher in elevation, and 30° cooler. When I speak of my love of SoCal, it’s because you can find yourself somewhere completely different in a matter of minutes.

Breaking news: State attorneys general from California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Nevada, Vermont, and Wisconsin advise Trump's EO banning trans care is unlawful, hospitals should provide care.

Big counter salvo!

Little joys in a strenuous wilderness hike. Little joys keep you moving forward.

I needed a little color. Fyi, anchovies can coexist with strawberries with the right mediators, in this case feta, balsamic vinegar & olive oil.

Everyone should be aware of the line that has been crossed in the Trump trans military EO.

No longer is this about "evidence," "science" or "protecting kids."

Now, explicitly, black and white, it's about trans people being "liars," "dishonorable," "false."

It's a big step towards very bad things.

The hateful patriarchy once again more worried about their attraction to trans women in uniform and that it might make them gay in the eyes of the lord. 1) It does because 2) they are. Welcome to Human Sexuality 101 - Who can I fuck?
