Kids know that cars are supposed to look better than their drawings of cars.

bluesky got me hooked by showing me posts by people I like and follow on purpose

I’m happy to see that everybody is showing off for our new guests.

2025 as we get closer to 2026.

I’ll bet there is a high percentage of adoptees who become child advocates in one way or another.

When you decide to draw a zebra but rely on secondhand accounts, Antonio Tempesta c. 1650 (Rijksmuseum)

You also have people from Prager U infiltrating parent groups on Facebook doing this same thing. They weaponized them against their school districts and then tried to sell them their homeschooling program. I watched them destroy an entire community.

"If I can’t dance, I don’t want to be part of your revolution"

Oh, there will definitely be dancing.

I really hate the reassurance adoptees have to give their adoptive parents. It’s a burden that shouldn’t be placed on the ones who had no say in the process. 🥚

Print of woman wearing an earring and head wrap

Pendant earring and just a few curls peaking out of the checkered headwrap. Detail from one of the many images of the #eighteenthcentury #caribbean made by Agostino Brunias and circulated by many others.

I don’t think a long book is even primarily about plot, or character, or any of the patterned information on its pages. A long book is practicing over time a way of being in the world. Reading even a very good summary is not the same as giving over some portion of your own life to that practice.

It really is fun to watch them try to get it together. It also gives us the time to determine whether or not to serve them.

Absolutely. I used to point out that what stood between them and their beloved was 24” of bar and me.

Menswear Guy increasingly seems like the only one who really studied the blade, is the thing.

Has anyone made the ladies a frog hat? Asking for a lady. 🐸

Keep Portland, and the rest of the US, weird!

They won’t. White people use thug as a dog whistle for a young black man they want to kill. Being called a thug will stick in their craw.

Let’s keep calling them thugs. 

They do it on purpose. My racist granny called my college boyfriend Leroy for three years. His name was Gino.

employing the phrase 'virtue signaling' is bitchless bitchmade loser signaling btw

Spite has been a great motivator for me this year.

She was there with an entire camera crew, but somehow didn’t get any footage of this “war zone”.

She was screwing Warren Beatty at the time and making her documentary Truth or Dare. There was high drama offscreen!

Everyone went to see Madonna bomb. Those are hate watch numbers.

A photograph from the 1988 ACT UP demonstration outside the FDA. Many people are participating in a die-in on the front steps, holding mock tombstones with messages like "RIP - killed by the FDA" and "Dead from lack of drugs." A line of police officers (some with classic 80s mustaches) wearing riot helmets stands between them and the building; one cop wearing white gloves is walking through the demonstrators. Affixed to the 2nd story windows of the building is a series of posters and a large blank banner reading Silence = Death.

This week in 1988: 1,000+ ACT UP demonstrators shut down the FDA headquarters, demanding (and eventually winning) action on developing HIV/AIDS treatments. ACT UP's militant and creative actions always included powerful visual artwork, and paved the way for movements in the decades to come.

Well I am hooked! It is a wonderful image.

Please use alt text so we know what this fabulous image is all right

Nadia from London has an idea that sounds such fun you'll be booking a day out asap. "I've always loved museums," she says, "but they can be overwhelming for children. For decades now, I've done something called 'playing postcards' We do the museum backwards, visiting the gift shop first. Each child gets to choose three postcards. Then they take it in turns to find that particular artwork in the museum and give us a little information about the piece from the details on the postcard, or from any gallery plaque. At the end of this treasure-hunt-style activity, we vote for our favourite in the cafe."

This is such a clever idea on taking kids to museums/galleries
