Right about now, the honk shoo brother

Yeah, this was set to "Hide" in my settings. Fuck right off with that.

so where are the op-eds about republican overreach today? where’s the commentary about donald trumps war against american citizens or his terror campaign targeting brown people? where’s the pearl clutching over the conservative social media bubble reliant on nazi propagandists?

we currently have a book display at the library titled “Twilight and Shadows,” which includes only books with either “Twilight” or “Shadows” in their titles. i love how absolutely literal-minded the idea is. 📚

A gift of new baking supplies from C has arrived, and I know I'm truly old, because I'm deeply delighted by the bread sling. I'm so clumsy and burning myself on the dutch oven is really only a matter of time, so this should help. 🤞🏿

I know i'm going to enjoy seeing people at crown tournament this upcoming weekend, but god am I tired. It's important to stay in community even as the horrors persist, but I kind of just want to hibernate.

I won't, but it's so tempting.

I overdid it, and today has become a mandatory rest day, but luckily I have Miss Brioche to generously watch over me.

More bread, less doomscrolling continues to be successful.

I'm also so close to finishing the sleeves on the sweater I'm knitting, which feels good, even if I'm still terrible at italian bind off.

Sone conversations in left leaning spaces right now are reminding me that Black Mainers remain a complete hypothetical to a lot of people. You think I'd be used to this after over three decades of existence, but it remains irritating.

food banks have already been under pressure over the past several years, and with SNAP benefits expiring they're going to be the only safety net for a lot of people

you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am

I've mentioned this before but it bears repeating. Don't leave FSA funds on the table at the end of the year. LOTS of places like homeless shelters etc... would love donations of FSA eligible items. For the past 2 years, I've used left over funds to shop here: fsastore.com - then donate the items.

i’m not going to be lectured about political violence by people whose politics is violence

Every other week there’s some version of the ‘is this age too old to enjoy this thing’ tweet and literally shut up, we are all hurtling towards death and nothingness, be buried with your Pokémon cards and plushies like an Egyptian pharaoh if you want. It’s fine.

Obsessed with the big rats who sniff out unexploded mines, I fuckin love animals dude

[worst possible stuff happening everywhere] man why do I feel bad

Despite what my face might do, I had a really good and revitalizing time visiting my partner. I am desperately glad to be home though, I missed my bed and my cat.

An edit of the "Yes... ha ha ha... YES!" sickos meme to replace the sicko with Cathy (from the syndicated newspaper comics) saying "Ack... ha ha ha... ACK!" with an expression of distress on her face. Her shirt also now reads "Ackos"

i think, unfortunately, that this may be my masterpiece

I keep seeing weird bigots say shit like “NYC will be the next London” and I do not understand why that’s a negative.

The law is not going to jump out the books and save us from people who are intent on destroying everything in their path and who are willing to kill us all in the process. Please understand this.

Feeling overwhelmed at the lawlessness? Get involved locally. Concrete, real-world resistance to fascism in your own community is better for you than doomscrolling.

There are no distractions. It's all bad. Systematically stripping trans people of their rights, guys in balaclavas shoving any brown person with a tattoo into a ummarked vans, ending healthcare for millions. It's all in service of fascism and technofeudalism. It's all one thing. That's the point.
