Man, I am just so angry about the endless shit this illi-fucking-gitiment president and his admin are doing daily. And I am trying to keep my FB posts from being too frequent, in hopes that people won’t scroll by them all.

Amanda is trustworthy. Could be a glitch I guess, but seems unlikely.

The San Marcos! With the town named the same. 72 degrees year-round. Entirely spring fed at source.

Decisions made in the moment come down to training and preparation. Clearly ICE and CBP train to escalate, manufacture crisis, provoke, and find the excuse. I wouldn’t put it past them to train explicitly for walking in front of a vehicle (CBP had to explicitly ban this practice in 2010).

A photograph of a screenprint by Jeffrey Dell, in a domestic setting, with the light of the day swindling. The screenprint shows a sort of rainbow, broken into facets by the accordion gold surface that it’s on. The title is β€˜Broken Rainbow’

A friend that randomly sends me photographs of my work in his house β€” because he notices how the light changes it β€” makes me immeasurably happy.

Every night I see one or two police drones flying in a preset formation above San Marcos, TX.

Once there was a private drone very near our house, hovering, and it turned its lights off (like it was trying to not be seen). This ambiguity between police and private drones is a real problem.

South Park came out too late for me, I was already in my 20s and without a tv. For me it was iconoclastic punk, and your point can remain the same with that too.

This seems the most plausible explanation of why genx (my age group) voted in the highest % for trump. Ignorant assholes embracing their assholery and burning everything

Yeah, still open and accepting new students. Official status is still under the preliminary injunction from court.

This articulates how I feel exactly. Mamdani is exciting; AOC is exciting. Not because they’re perfect, but because they are quite ethical and they’re good at messaging.

Tumblr post from every-lemon 
Sep 8

so my spouse is part of a weirdly intense but mostly benign men's workout group that meets at like, 5:30am outside every day, even in winter. they do a lot of burpees and lugging cinder blocks up hills and stuff.
they take turns leading the workouts and tomorrow is his turn. I asked what he was planning. he handed me a sheet of William Carlos William poems from a large stack he'd printed.
I said "what" and he explained, helpfully, "it's a William Carlos William themed workout." I asked what inspired it and he said "l've been planning this for months."

it was a smash hit.
a dozen guys showed up (more than usual). spouse brought a red wheelbarrow and they took turns bringing cinder blocks up the hill with it. then they broke up in teams and did a relay with an "icebox" (cooler filled with 40lbs of ice). at the end he opened the cooler to reveal it was full of beach plum lacroix and all the guys cheered. they drank sparkling water as he read 'approach of winter' out loud.
he was home by 6:30am.

Ok yeah the apple but now add a bit of roasted green chili. Not too spicy, must be roasted before, ideally from New Mexico.

As an educator of aspiring artists I feel this, particularly when they struggle to find work after graduation. Have zero regrets for myself, but ruminate about this regularly.

We don't hear much about the Texas 1836 project these days. Maybe because the 1836 Texas Constitution went to great lengths to write down how Texas is an explicitly white supremacist project, with slavery at the very heart of its founding.

Thanks. I know Xitter can seem like a requirement for journalists in Texas, but it’d be nice to avoid a self fulfilling prophecy.

Law Firm Pressures Brown University to Erase Research on Anti-Wind Groups

My lab's been attacked by an anti-wind group and their lawyers. They threatened the science funding of my whole university, to shut me and my undergraduate research assistants up.

I love Texas. We have the best food, the best music, the best culture, and an amazing diversity of people there. We have a shitty government, but it's, like, a third of the state that votes for it. You don't know Texas. I fucking love Texas. Stop shitting on Texas if you haven't lived there.

I think this singer is earnest, but I’m really not sure. Equal parts the worst I’ve ever heard, the strangest, and maybe kinda brilliant? Gives almost early Borat vibes.

there's no world in which a faculty senate's resolution in support of the university president should merit an investigation from the US DOJ.
