I’ve been forced to become an abortion activist, and have become almost militant in my pursuit of justice for women.

My cat was staring at me for a long time. Finally I stood up and said “OK, I’ll go scoop that stinky that your brother left uncovered in the litter box.”
My sister doubted that’s what he was telling me to do. Some people don’t understand how well cats boss us around without words.

Reasons to Live Through the Apocalypse

Sunrises. People you have still to meet and laugh with. Songs about love, peace, anger, and revolution. Walks in the woods.
The smile you exchange with a stranger when you experience beauty accidentally together. Butterflies. Seeing your grandparents again. The moon in all her forms, whether half or full. Dogs.
Birthdays and half-birthdays. That feeling of floating in love.
Watching birds eat from bird feeders. The waves of happiness that follow the end of sadness. Brown eyes. Watching a boat cross an empty sea. Sunsets. Dipping your feet in the river. Balconies.
Cake. The wind in your face when you roll the car window down on an open highway. Falling asleep to the sound of a steady heartbeat. Warm cups of tea on cold days. Hugs. Night skies. Art museums. Books filled with everything you do not yet know.
Long conversations. Long-lost friends. Poetry.

I wrote this on one of the darkest days of my life. It gave me an anchor to hold onto.

I too fell in love at first sight with a picture of a kitten. I present the outstanding Vinnie Bag of Donuts.

On a background of yellowed paper, bold text reads: Declaration of Life. If I disappear, I did not go willingly. If I die, it was not by my hand. Existence is resistance.

This probably seems grim, but given recent events, it might be a good idea to publicly display a declaration of life, especially if you fall into one of the target demographics

Harris beat Trump 53% to 45% among voters ages 25-29.
Harris beat Trump 51% to 45% among voters ages 30-39.

Trump to Fox: “I won youth by 36 points.”

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it.

“When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.”

I’ll try gay art, but I tried gay sex and it’s not for me. But everyone else should carry on having lots of gay sex.

Years ago, I could figure out the exact day if I had to, I was driving along a country road and saw a dead red fox lying at the side. At just that moment in the radio the announcer said that Redd Foxx had just died. I will never forget this coincidence, or was it?

I've programmed my computer to auto-replace "Trump" with "convicted felon Donald Trump" when I type because I don't have the guts to call him "the rapist Donald Trump."

we’re looking at the black leather backseat of a car where a dog is supposed to be riding. a great dane puppy’s head is nestled in between the head rests on the left and middle, facing forward. his booty and back legs dangle from between the head rests on the middle and right. there is no sign of his body or front limbs. we hope they’re in the trunk area, but we’re actually not 100% confident this is a single dog.
