This was one of those brutal sorts of weekends where you get to the end and realize it drained everything you have and you now have to face the upcoming week with an empty cup and zero reserves. For tonight I'm choosing to focus on tiny wins and planning out my (very necessary) naps for the week

Realized midway through the day today that I had overdone it moving furniture and storage bins on Monday, but was too far into this big reorganizing project to just stop and go in a different direction. I put in 4 more hours tonight and will put in about 3 more tomorrow morning if I can push through

"Accessing the supports my autistic son needs can be brutally difficult, especially as he and his peers transition into adulthood. But unlike grievance parents, I believe my son deserves respect and understanding—not grievance parents’ relentless exploitation of their children as burdens."

'I want his name to be known': Wife of immigrant injured at ICE facility shooting speaks out Stephany Gauffeny says she wants the world to know that her husband, Miguel Angel Garcia-Hernandez, is more than "just an immigrant or a detainee, or a criminal."

A victim of the shooting at the ICE facility is UNCONSCIOUS, in critical care, may not survive, his wife is about to give birth, and ICE IS KEEPING HIM SHACKLED TO HIS HOSPITAL BED:

I just unlocked a new level of rage.

Always remember: if slavery was so great, they wouldn’t be scrubbing mentions of it from public spaces.

Also remember: as long as there is somebody alive who was told by somebody who was told by somebody who was told by somebody who experienced what we now call history, it will never be erased.

In 'Silent Hill f,' Japanese history shapes psychological horror Japanese history shapes psychological horror in the latest edition of the Silent Hill video game franchise.

I haven't been able to stop thinking about this story since I heard it the other day. The global cycle of women being granted rights and then having them taken away by whatever regime comes next, and the next generation having to fight to try to get them back is haunting www.npr.org/2025/09/26/n...

The next time someone tells you that DOGE was there to cut wasteful government spending, please refer them to this incomprehensible waste of money and resources

(this skeet brought to you by the 2 late night hours I've spent preparing for tomorrow's meeting after being in dorsal vagal shutdown all day because my brain can't believe we have to do this all over again every year 😭)

A buck lit by the streetlight standing in the front yard of a house surrounded by wildflowers. It has small antlers but I don't know enough about deer to know how many points.

Fun encounter on our nightly walk. Servicedoodle was entirely oblivious but sat patiently every few feet until we could get close enough to get a good photo without scaring him. Nice of our neighbor to provide a free buffet!

A screenshot of the photo album section of Neko Atsume 2. The photo in the center is of an orange cat with white socks and white ears facing away from the camera. The cat is laying down inside a cake box that has 2 sides opened up so that the cat's rear feet, tail, and butt are sticking out one side and the cats head and front paws are sticking out the opposite side

Sometimes the cats only use the box in certain ways when it's a little broken! Look how much more space Ginger has for stretching out

I actually think it's off base for the descriptor of these angry young white men who think violence is cool and/or funny to be "non-political." They are making rape jokes and saying racist things and wanting to sow chaos. That's literally the Alex Jones, Steve Bannon playbook.
