One might say... angelic

spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

Multiple protests tomorrow, Seattle! I'm hoping to make it to at least one.
Standing alongside vets to call out this hateful administration, seems like a very appropriate thing to do on Veteran's Day. #fucktrump

SEATTLE!!!

We’ve now taken the lead by 91 votes! 🤯 This thing is certainly not over! Over 1,000 ballots have been challenged, so if you haven’t tracked your ballot yet get on it! Our trusty volunteers have been working hard to "cure" ballots so they count! We're so close!

Dear (prob mostly white) gay guys *thrilled* this morning about no longer having to pay attention to politics or protest Trump anymore & planning to ignore it all, once again, now that Obergefell is safe -- since you "got yours":

Mm-hmm. We all see you.

Sincerely,

Maybe sorta related to (as far as I can tell, um...mostly white) folks who bemoan Trump by shaking their heads & saying things like: "This isn't the America I know!" As if the US wasn't a nation legit built by slavery & genocide. To them, American legacy for 250 yrs I guess was perfect until Trump.

Fedora man unmasked: Meet the teen behind the Louvre mystery photo Fifteen-year-old Pedro Elias Garzon Delvaux has become an internet sensation after an Associated Press photo captured him outside the Louvre on the day of a crown jewels heist.

Loving today's news that the mysterious "fedora man" outside the Louvre heist was actually a 15-year-old museum visitor who dresses like a 1940s French detective all the time, just because. apnews.com/article/louv...

Random thoughts: Love how shows, podcasts, & books about lesser-known cults from around the country... always seem to have a chapter that takes place in either Bellingham or Spokane, WA.
