A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue is watching Green leave for a costume party, all donned up in a suit and a mask.
Blue: Have fun at the party!
Green: I will! See you tomorrow!

Now alone, Blue looks around himself.
Blue, thinking: Huh. I've got the whole place all to myself. I can do whatever I want.

Blue proceeds to sit on his computer, quietly playing videogames, and then going to bed at 9 pm.

I remember Suzie Orman coming to UCSF to talk to women graduate students about finances, & she was absolutely unable to understand what it was like to make $16K/year in SF in 1995. I asked what to do when we had NO investable income, and she told me to stop buying "expensive" lattes. πŸ™ƒ

I once mentioned β€œwelfare fraud” in front of a friend who worked for the General Accounting Office (US fed bookkeepers).

β€œDid you know it costs far more to chase β€˜welfare fraud’ than is actually β€˜β€™β€™defrauded’’’?”

I think about that a lot.

Keep your eyes on your own damn cart.

@mothersbasement.bsky.social is talking about One Piece, but is speaking to everyone with that spirit for change.

"It's also careful to caution that revolutions which aim to subjicate out of hatred for the oppressor rather than liberate out of love for the oppressed will ultimately reproduce many of problems they seek to solve."

You're out here defending a man completely unprompted, that's weird.

I think most people don't want to know the names of the people who represent them. If they have to think about those people, they're doing a bad job.

I personally don't remember the names of most of the people who represent me, but I have their emails at least.

A politician unafraid to maintain principles is far more reassuring, even if I disagree with them.

A politician willing to admit they were wrong, and changed principles not based on rhetoric or popularity, but on education, is even better.

If all you care about is polling, you also lose trustworthiness. You'll never be principled, your position changing with whatever looks most popular, instead of static or changing with knowledge.

despite all the fear mongering about trans people and the attempts to abandon and actively harm us from both political parties in the US, transitioning is still the greatest decision i’ve ever made, only regret i have is not doing it younger, and that it has only made my life infinitely better

Protestors arrested as Houston's rainbow crosswalk is removed The removal began in the early hours of Monday morning after a standoff ended in arrests.

And I was the only reporter on the ground who watched as Houston Police arrested four people who tried to stop the removal of the rainbow crosswalk in the wee hours of the night. This is a moment in my early career i'll always be proud of.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green turn around towards the sound as they both hear a car horn honking.
Blue: Did you hear that?
Green: yep!

Both foxes dash into action, rushing to the same direction.
Green: It's coming from the intersection outside!
Blue: To the balcony!

Now on the balcony, both foxes look down in fascination as a cacophony of nonstop honking is happening somewhere below.
Green: Wow, the person blocking traffic really thinks they have the right of way.
Blue: Amazing.

Green turns to look over his shoulder to the apartment, while Blue's eyes are still glued on the action. The aggressive honking continues.
Green: Will you keep me updated if I go make us popcorn?
Blue: Sure.

I would like to follow this up with my firmly-held and very Midwestern opinion that automated in-ground irrigation systems for single family homes are rich people nonsense, and this colors my thoughts.

It was a treat to speak to Rev. Rachel Griffin-Allison of Oak Lawn UMC in Dallas. After Greg Abbott's order over pride crosswalks, UMC is painting rainbows on its front steps.

"They're not just paint on steps, but a way to say that God's love will not be silenced."

A rando bigot with a red tie fearmongers to the tune of β€œThe Gay Agenda is Murder”

However, β€œThe Murder:” is just a murder of queer crows gathered on a branch, cuddling as they hold up a rainbow banner which reads β€œFree Healthcare and Body Autonomy and little treats FoR ALL.”  One crow asks if there are any snacks.
