Nooooo. May whatever it is leave quickly and without complications.

If you're a journalist and interested in covering the interesting leadership strategy @jay.bsky.team is employing, i'm happy to connect you with folks. You can reach out via matthewcort.land

I still remember (pretty sure at least) reading a two sentence description of it in the Upcoming Movies box in sis's Seventeen magazine. Thankfully I didn't see it then (I was like, 11, 🤣).

sunday is also a good day for Seven pods

For those who don’t know, Wyden’s family escaped Europe before the worst of the Holocaust

Is there an InsectSky? I want to help out the baby (house?) spiders that keep popping up in the basement but I know basically nothing about the care of spiders.

I wish my lease allowed for three pets and not two. My old man cat would love wee new friends. 😍

I never watched a single episode of Gossip Girl.

I think a lot of Dirty Dancing goes past people who aren't familiar with 1960s Jewish life. Doesn't necessarily make it a better viewing (people can not click with a movie and that's fine) it's just a different viewing experience when you can follow the Jewish context.

"You know it's Sukkot this week, right?"
"Don't you mean Festival of Furloughs?"

Sleeping in was nice because I didn't have to worry about money while I was asleep.

Mr. Kitty does not understand no one in the house has to go to work right now because of the furlough, and begins irritated howling at 4 am until someone gets up and stays up. And cuddles him.

A hanging banner spelling out “PLEASE LEAVE BY 8”

Went to a party hosted by an absolute icon

Not coincidentally, the Panthers were also one of the few major left organizations in the homophobia-laden '60s/'70s to openly support the Stonewall riots and the ensuing queer liberation movements.

Dad got to go home from the hospital. ❤️

Bono: “Where the streets have no name…”

Me, nodding: “R’lyeh, resting place of the dreaming god Cthulhu.”

Bono: “What? No!”

Me: “Are you saying Cthulhu took the time to name every street in a four-dimensional city? That’s absurd.”

FEMA Withholds $300 Million in Grants Until States Account for Deportations

The Trump administration’s racist, cruel, and illegal immigration agenda is making us all less safe.

The EMPG grant has been stopped again and is one of the single most important disaster funding sources for state and local governments.

Sold! Thank you!

Solidarity, Weather Being! (I'm nine years sober this month.)

I extended my invitation: If you are involved in any kind of Left politics, I am more than willing to help you understand and message on this. Help me, Help you!

Battles on the streets and beyond I CAN’T recall when I first heard of “Cable Street” but as a child I remember my grandfather, Syd, formerly an East End amateur boxer, boasting about “Blackshirts” he had floored.By my teens, when I f...

One of my favourite anniversaries today: 4 October 1936, the Battle of Cable Street. Very pleased to write an article in the Morning Star about the people who were there, and the urgent tasks for anti-fascists here and now. morningstaronline.co.uk/article/batt...

I wish she would stop girl bossing so close to the sun. Not because I care about the hubris it's just irritating.

A robin in the honeysuckle sings against a gold background

Saturday morning in the studio. Available now should you be doing a little early shopping for Christmas. Painted on vintage panels laid with 23 carat gold leaf

A white woman is wearing a chocolate houndstooth overcoat from Michael Kors. The pockets are front flaps. Underneath the coat her brown slacks and brown open toed sandals are visible.

My mom absolutely would have worn a coat in this colour when I was little, which is probably why I want it. Just missing her cloisonné hair combs, sensible shoes and her default surly expression.

(Mom in her youth dressed a bit in the Dana Scully color palette unless she tried to wear fun colors.)

My dad is in the hospital and one of my sisters is between two fire evacuation zones. I cannot do Friday on nightmare mode.

When things feel pointless, remember the small things that make a difference in your life, then do them for yourself and others.

A high protein meal.
A big glass of water.
Taking meds.
A compliment or word of thanks.
A long walk outside.

I see how hard you're trying.
Little things still matter.

I got a 10/10 on my destructive wind event essay answer!
