learned recently that the guy who wrote "The Night Before Christmas," clement clarke moore, also wrote a takedown of thomas jefferson's proto-scientific racism in "Notes on the State of Virginia," basically accusing him and others of making it up to justify slavery. which, that's right.

We are all frogs now.

Finally came across video of an arrest at a #NoKings event yesterday. 🙄

Beautiful! I love the backlight and the out of focus sparkles almost as many ch as I love that bird’s pose. 😍

Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

Been there. Got the mortifying t-shirt. Hugs. 🤗

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

He’s posting from Walter Reed’s Psych Ward, I see.

Don’t know what got into auto-correct, there. I meant to type ‘Great work’! Good luck in Malmö!

Ratify work! Is this a model/figurine-painting competition?

Local woman wakes up, sends big solidarity to Alberta teachers, makes oatmeal.

Me too. I would have failed the marshmallow test x1000.

Draw something badly with no intention of showing it to anyone. It's very freeing.

Can you switch to a set of double-pointed needles?

instead of seasons we should separate the year into warm enough to play mermaids and cold enough to play vampires.

Looks like it's a bighorn day.

Oh and if you get a chance follow the link and please do consider a small donation tonight. My illness cost me that part time thing that was keeping me above water and things are, difficult at the moment while I await surgery.

When hiking in the Alps Ödön von Horváth found a skeleton with rucksack attached. He opened the rucksack to find an addressed postcard: 'Having a wonderful time.'

Horváth's friends asked him what he did next.

'I posted it.'

History repeats.

My husband was detained by ICE today

Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away

They got you fighting a culture war to stop you from fighting a class war.

The grotesque inequality of wealth in the United States is at the root of countless problems. If you are an oligarch, you know this. They win the class war by fighting the culture war. Don’t take the bait.
