This is how I see that skinny little bald man that said "we are going to ignore these stupid white hippies that all need to go home and take a nap" before meeting the troops at Union Station. He really got a chuckle from VJ Dance.

Thanks! I wanted to reroute how I share online and love the format of the Substack app. When I joined, I found all the artists and creatives I loved following on IG--hidden in the feed of chaos. The IG pause was because I was locked into exasperation amongst all of this chicanery. Can't let them win

It has been a soft place to land in the current hellscape. I was on Twitter for 15 years, left not too long after X. Started here on Monday. It is quiet & low dopamine—in a good way.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

And don’t expect a private firefighting company to save your house if it catches fire. They were hired to extinguish your neighbor’s house, not yours!

Reporters: Please stop calling things DEI that are not DEI. This is only cementing the propaganda being used to legitimize the dismantling of all types of initiatives that are not DEI as well as legitimize efforts to end civil rights enforcement. Be specific with your language. Be accurate.

Aquarius, here. ♒️ As an air sign with ADHD, my watery element feels like a class action amusement park ride. Hyper-awareness & sensitivity linked up with rebellious bursts and A.I. level info quests

Quakers sue to keep US immigration agents out of houses of worship Quaker groups sued on Monday to prevent U.S. immigration agents from carrying arrests and searches in houses of worship, after the Trump Administration rescinded guidance that protected churches and schools from his mass deportation campaign.

Quakers continuing a long held conviction of standing with the oppressed-believing all human beings are equal and worthy of respect. One of the 1st religious groups in the US to condemn slavery and would not allow their members to own enslaved people.

Booo! I hope it comes back on soon.

Taking a moment to recognize a pioneer in the modern space | arms race in A.I. development, the Siemens 4004 computer which refused the engineer’s request to find the golden tickets.

Occasionally I’ll revisit info on the Jackson volcano knowing the last eruption was the Cretaceous period and still side eye it with a “ya never know!”

Jackson, MS, here. I began digesting it after the Dobbs decision overturned Roe. Southerners had a preview historically and in real time. After a period of being despondent, the election materialized it and shifted me to be constructive where I can.

😅 I know. Before I left FB in 2017 I said welp, the southern strategy won. Welcome to MS. And have been recommending people learn about Reconstruction era & Jim Crow laws as a primer to understand apartheid or WW2. It’s the hydra. One body many heads

Not as brazen without a screen shielding them. I think they’re capable of so much danger but covering their faces signals weakness. To not make the mistake of the tiki torch bearers that came before.

I’ve enjoyed watching Deep Seek rock the boat, the yachts.

U.S. Supreme Court Leaves Crow-Era Voting Ban in Place The Supreme Court on Monday left in place Mississippi's Jim Crow-era practice of removing voting rights from people convicted of certain felonies.

If I were tasked to illustrate the incel alt-rt. movement, nothing captures it best than the video, emerging from the ground on an escalator, heading to Friday’s pep rally to save bbs. And how American of them to be standing still on a moving staircase, conveyor belt style.

Just had a small earthquake here in New Hampshire, a small one but the first one I have ever felt in my life

We had one week of earthquake drills in 1989 in Jackson, MS, and I’m still paranoid about the New Madrid fault line.

The Camp Kikakee sign is identical to the Dead Kennedy's logo, who were critical of Reagan and have a 1981 song called N*zi Punks F*ck Off.
