I'm in Las Vegas on a work trip and (uncharacteristically) decided to go out last night instead of crashing at my hotel. If you're in a city with #MeowWolf, DON'T miss it! Seriously one of the coolest experiences, and this one has a crazy interactive live performance happening for summer #OmegaMart

First Father's Day since going no contact with the waste of space who calls himself my father. Genuinely didn't realize how good it would feel. Thought maybe I would feel guilty or sad, but honestly I'm just content. I guess I should have taken this step years ago 😅

*Me coming back to work after a week away to find zero progress was made while I was gone and an old situation I thought was dead and buried rose from the grave and is causing chaos again*

Agreed! We rode twice today and it is always absolutely worth the wait in the long line

Scenic overlook from the top of a Ferris wheel. Only the outer railing of the Ferris wheel car is visible at the bottom of the picture. You're looking out over the tops of trees towards low mountains and a gray/blue/white cloudy sky. A large swimming pool and the top of a wooden roller coaster are just visible through the trees.

The sales counter in a fudge and confectionaries store. Fudge covered apples with sprinkles, fudge dipped pretzels with sprinkles and chocolate chips, and fudge covered marshmallows on a stick are closest to you. Farther away in the case are individual squares of fudge for sale

Was able to spend my mom's birthday with her for the first time in almost 10 years. Living far away from loved ones is complicated, even when (especially when) it's necessary. But today was full of laughter and love and moments that I hope will sustain us through the coming months.

Today's drive was brought to you by the Pennsylvania Turnpike (particularly the western section): a much needed reminder that not everything is as flat and geographically uninteresting as central Indiana

Road tripping to my hometown to see my mom for her birthday. Today I'm in bumfuck-nowhere but yesterday we stopped at the Cincinnati Zoo. So many cute animals including baby cheetahs and baby meerkats!

If they suspend Habeas Corpus, it won't just be for "migrants" or "illegals" or "criminals." If they suspend Habeas Corpus it will be for you and me and whomever this regime decides is unfit, undesirable, and a threat or a problem. This is how it works. This is how it's always worked.

Book #15 of 2025: When a sequel is so good you want to immediately go back and re-read #1. The author says Ambit's Run will only be a duology, but I'll hold out hope for more of this amazing found-family space crew.

How about bring them all home

We should be demanding all the people denied due process and exported to a foreign gulag, be brought home.

All of them.

More Greta Helsing incoming!! I'm so excited!!! 😍😍😍

I hope everyone realizes that scrubbing historical references from web sites is no different than burning books

When your therapist ends the appointment with "How about we start meeting more often?" That's how we survive the end of the world, right?

Kidnapping.

Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping.

Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking.

A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.

Book #14 of 2025: Some of these were tough to get through because we're so much closer to their reality now than we were when they were written. Hard to pick a favorite, but I really enjoyed Our Aim Is Not to Die, Calendar Girls, and O.1..

Bought Strange Beasts at a local bookstore for myself as a self-indulgent birthday present last fall. Devoured it in just a couple days and have been crossing my fingers for a sequel since then. Finding out we get more of Sam and Hel is the best news! I can't wait!! 🖤💀

Book #13 of 2025: Read this. "A nationalist will say that “it can’t happen here,” which is the first step toward disaster. A patriot says that it could happen here, but that we will stop it."

Book #12 of 2025: So glad I picked this one up at the local bookstore. Turns out a dystopian horror story about a teen LGBTQ organization surviving after a doomsday cult releases a bioweapon on the world was exactly what I needed?

My trans friends are some of the best and coolest people I know. Hating them? Lame shit for losers. Obsessed with someone else's gender? Can you imagine a more sad loser behavior?

Book #10 of 2025: First re-read of the year, and loved it as much, if not more, than the first time. Love the idea of there being a mirror world of your own out there that is similar but so different from your own. And also, ✨magic✨

It's been a tough month for reading. Started several books and just couldn't get into them. Current events and work nonsense really getting in the way of some good old fashion fiction escapism. Decided it was time for a re-read to get me back in the swing of things...

Currently appearing at UK bus-stops.

More of this pointed ridicule, please.
