Darren Beattie, fired from the Trump White House in 2018 after it was revealed he attended a white supremacist conference, has just been appointed acting president of the U.S. Institute of Peace, according to the State Department.

Juneteenth went uncelebrated by the White House. That alone says everything you need to know about this regime.

As a reminder, IndyGo buses are operating on a Saturday schedule today in observance of the Juneteenth Holiday. Regular weekday service will return tomorrow.

A series of October 12, 2024 tweets from me reading: for example, i think americans deserve to know if red state national guard will be invading blue states and kicking in doors and ripping people from their homes without due process do you think americans in red state national guard know theyre going to be expected to shoot at uncooperative blue state national guard? do you think americans in red state national guard know theyre going to be expected to shoot at uncooperative blue state national guard?

Two white men in their late forties stand behind an older white woman who's holding a black and white lamb.

We've been in Ireland for a week, my husband, mother, and myself. It's been lovely. Tomorrow, we leave to spend several days with a buddy just outside of Glasgow. It's hard to believe this is real life!

I'm not teaching pottery class on Memorial Day, so my massage calendar is now totally open on Monday. Come get on my table!

I hear massage music after I've turned off the massage music. I need an auditory Screensaver to keep the sounds from marring my brain.

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

An enclosed porch with windows on the left and green painted faux brick on the right. There's a church pew facing the interior door and a set of white wicker furniture at the end of the space.

A long room with green walls, wood floors, and plenty of plants.

A sitting room painted dark green with charcoal furniture and a rustic bench as a coffee table

The renovations are complete, and only small details remain to be completed. Beech Grove Wellness is fully operational!

Folks in #indianapolis #beechgrove #greenwood and other nearby locales, I hope you'll join me for the Grand Opening of Beech Grove Wellness!!

A massage table with tan linens sits atop a tan and brown rug. There is a large copper leaf cycle on a dark green wall with a clock mechanism.

The massage room is so very close to finished! If you're in Indianapolis, come get on my table!

Is commune massage therapist a job? I'm also good in the kitchen, knit, garden, and can make and fix shit.

This made things feel incredibly more real.

I couldn't find a wall clock that I liked, so I made the wall a clock. Come in and get a massage! www.beechgrovewellness.com

Things are coming along in advance of the grand opening event. I'm practicing in the yet-to-be-finished Beech Grove Wellness whilst getting things wrapped up. Plants have started to find their way into the building! The wind caught it during transport, and I'm hoping the roots will grab hold!

A great article about the slow descent.

Statement from the Stonewall Inn:

I'll be picking the winner for this on Saturday, to give everyone enough time to enter. Keep sharing it! I'll be adding some additional goodies in the box with the mask, lots of them.

It's already on my Kindle, waiting for my eyes!

Considering getting it? Buy direct from Joaquin's website. Easy as pie, and it gives the author more than it gives another bookseller who, honestly, doesn't likely need your money.

This series has been an incredible read, and I'm stoked for more!

Yes, very tongue-in-cheek way of attempting to communicate how much I love these books. I'm diving into a lot of deadlines this week, so a wait will be good for my productivity, at any rate.

The only thing I won't enjoy is that I'll have finished the second book before the third is on my kindle. I've been devouring this series, and I absolutely love it!

Pre-ordered 3!

Gah! This is amazing!

Incomplete kitchen cabinets in front of a window with dark green trim and walls that are a lighter green.

Soon enough, there will be concrete countertops poured, cabinet doors complete, and a somewhat distressed copper sink installed. Eventually, I'll get to offer massage in this building.

Prepping some marketing materials to introduce the new business to neighboring businesses today, breathing with intention along the way.

Well, that is a bit far. I guess. ;)
