Queer Witch

worse than taken for granted

And not just Dems

They want us punished. while agreeing that we are uniquely a group that has to earn their care

usually by denouncing some part of ourselves

And soothe their anger at the fact that for the split second they listened

Things were better

on the day someone finally yeets Bill Clinton into the sun, this site will be united in a way we have not been since....

well, I mean, last night because the sun gave us pretty lights.

but you know OTHER than that.

Release the documents because the victims have been demanding this for years. That should really be the bottom line here. RELEASE ALL OF THE DOCUMENTS (including photos and videos)

It’s funny cuz in any even halfway rational society, every single interaction in any context with any Republican, politician or voter, would henceforth begin and end solely with “your party is run by sex criminals” Literally NOTHING else should be discussed or entertained until that’s dealt with.

cover of the 2023 book Burn It Down with flames all around the title words. also on the cover are the subtitle Power Complicity and a Call for Change in Hollywood and the name of the author, Maureen Ryan

ANYWAY! My 2023 book -- about systemic, institutionalized, longstanding patterns of misconduct, abuse, predation, and the enabling and even the celebration of same by the powerful -- was titled Burn It Down 🔥🔥🔥🔥 just sayin' bookshop.org/p/books/burn...

this book, y'all.

Even more so because we never had cancel culture. We had the beginnings of a suggestion of cancel culture and most privileged people and every vector of institutional power treated it like the biggest moral hazard the world has ever seen and spent an astonishing amount of effort to shut it down.

The superstructure that colludes to enable child trafficking is the superstructure that colludes to cheer on illegal wars of conquest and genocide and the same superstructure that colludes to enable massive wealth transfer to a handful of billionaire perverts and it's all held up by guns and prisons

Me riffing on a Daniel Abraham bit about how genres are where fears pool

this is actually really something. The NY Times stuff is bonkers.

"This novel is not just for fellow plant biologists or anyone else fascinated by poisonous plants.. It’s hilarious and charming and heartbreaking."

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.

So much work remains to be done.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Local media is calling it: Katie Wilson will be the next mayor of Seattle.

Wilson ousts Mayor Bruce Harrell after running as a progressive challenger.

Her win is a west coast companion to Mamdani’s as a statement victory for the left.

Going serious.

Homeland 🇵🇭 was devastated by back-to-back typhoon which destroyed a lot of homes and displaced families.

I am offering $10+ sketches. All profits will be donated to ChildHope Philippines, a local org providing basic needs to street children, the most vulnerable population rn

I mean honestly, it *does* explain how elite backlash against MeToo was about as intense as the reaction to 9/11.

A bright burst of red and green in the skies

Lighter pinkish red in a big fan stretching across the night sky.

Pink auroras through some bare tree branches

A dark red burst of color in the sky

Yall.

Naked, twisty trees against a green and purple sky.

I am tired, I am flaring, I am grumpy, the genderqueer sky is probably responsible, so i decided to go see the genderqueer sky.

IT GOT BETTER

Pink and green sky!

#aurora from my deck. So cool!

In 2025 we take every ounce of joy we can find!

Gorgeous red and green aurorae over a lighted city below.

I am on my way home to Toronto and the aurorae are absolutely phenomenal.

If you are anywhere in the northern half of the continent, get outside and look up! Or better still, put your camera on a 10 second exposure and point it up.

Holy wow you guys - the aurora is visible in Santa Fe!

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

Intense magenta sky over the black silhouettes of trees screencapped from you tube

Wowww!! We are having some wild auroras tonight. Missouri is on fire with magenta skies! (Intensified by the camera's sensitivity but still!) www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccAT...

Red aurora near Palmer Alaska

The aurora is happening … and disturbingly red.

The Northern Lights Witnessing the northern lights flickering in the night sky is probably on most people’s wish list. And while more space weather than our usual earthly weather phenomenon, you do need the right weather...

Each gas emits a particular colour of light; Oxygen produces green light when it is hit 60 miles above the Earth, while at 100 to 200 miles it produces rare all-red auroras. Meanwhile nitrogen causes the sky to glow blue, yet when higher in the atmosphere it glows purple.

Honestly don’t think I’ve ever seen red pillars this massive (10-second exposure but naked-eye visible)

Timeline cleanse. Beautiful night for northern lights in Saskatchewan!
