I am learning entirely too much about presidential penises.

Turns out: Calvin Coolidge. While eating breakfast in bed.

My life is governed by certain unalienable truths. One of these is that flopping is sometimes required.

Absolutely unacceptable.

This is ESPECIALLY true for me since working with homeless people, people living in section 8 housing, people involved in family court, and others who have been targeted and mistreated by the law.

Having worked in the mental health field I vehemently believe that there is no room for police forces of any kind in wellness checks. Bringing guns and force into those sorts of situations is never helpful. Armed forces wouldn't know a deescalation technique if it walked them through the 5 senses.

we really need to get cops out of the business of “checking in” on folks struggling with mental health shit

Downingtown is nearish to Philly, but that area is *Definitely* farmland, too. This is amazing.

Wellllllll….. thinking of it from that standpoint, you probably have a good point. Feed ‘em to the wildlife instead.

Definitely know a few folks whose alley this would be up

Suicidal for centrists to be begging for moderation when now would be a great time to pass some big, ambitious policies and remind people why Democrats are better than Republicans.

Also. We‘re going to be stuck with the same bullshit. Might as well make stock. Bone broth should be rather sustaining for the fight.

I’m pretty sure that even when I was a vegetarian, the stew of my enemies would have been an exception. The stomach troubles would have been worth it.

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

SAY. THAT. SHIT!

I love that Zohran did not praise Cuomo in his speech. You absolutely do not have to say nice things about bad people. We should normalize that in “polite” politics: Praising bad people is not actually “civility.”

I am so very excited but also a little terrified

Herring Point at Cape Henlopen State Park

My favorite view of the ocean - rounding the bend heading back in to town from Cape Henlopen and it just pop up and reminds you that you are at the ocean and it’s beautiful (it probably helps that it signals that I’m 1 - 2 miles from done on most of my runs)

To counter my crabbiness - a few pics from yesterday. It was a beautiful day for a run and there was additional beautiful flora and fauna that I captured only with my eyeballs.

Do y’all not have super wide leg pants and baby doll tees already back in style? I have flashbacks to high school fashion on a regular basis when out in public these days.

I wouldn’t be mad about 90s nostalgia music though! Seeing an 80s band this weekend. I’d love a (late) 90s night at the bar.

My dog seems to think we sprang forward instead of falling back.

3:30 am wake up two days in a row.

How is YOUR November going?

If you’re a musician who uses Spotify, here is yet *another* reason to stop

I mean… come on. You know you want to read about unicorns, vampires, aliens, pirates, and booty. Who wouldn’t?!?

It even ends on a beautiful and positive note. And we could all use that these days imho.

Finally finished @sachacoward.bsky.social ’s book, Queer as Folklore.

So glad I took my time with it. It was so enjoyable and dug further in to queerness and otherness in folklore, mythology, and history of the arts than I've had exposure to before.

I definitely recommend it.

Some happiness amidst the shit show that is 2025 America: I made some new #FungalFriends yesterday!

pants lasted more than 8 hours. Pretty proud of myself.

Is it giving smart? Is it giving casual?
I cant believe that I’m not only wearing hard pants for the second day in a row, but am doing so for such a lazy halloween outfit.

Bonus: I am in love with these earrings.

absolutely sickening and heartbreaking

This year for Halloween, I’m going to go dressed as someone who’s tired and simply wants some precedented times.

Actually, seeing a man of color, getting scared, and calling The Police, is pretty typical racist behavior
