Twinsies!

You cannot go about your life thinking about ways to avoid making fascists angry. You will not succeed, and you will not be free.

[Everyone will not just If your solution to some problem relies on "If everyone would just..." then you do not have a solution. Everyone is not going to just. At no time in the history of the universe has everyone just, and they're not going to start now.

Everyone will not just.
1) took some time for me to grasp 2) important for social pragmatics and 3) boy, is it ever annoying 😑

Gov. Tim Walz State Address: "We have university students shoved into unmarked vans and fathers being tossed into Salvadorian gulags without a hint of due process. If you say you love freedom, but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn't freedom, it's privilege."

Amazing. Sounds like something to aspire to! :)

Let them eat cake knives?

Oh, man. A pang in my heart for the problems that come for a child who is bright enough to have a precocious existential crisis and has developmentally expected levels of emotional maturity to deal with such. Ouchies.

My fave BCBA ever, who was also my internship supervisor for skool psych once said: "I am not going to write a behavior plan to tolerate bad teaching" and I wrote it down and hung it on my wall.

I found the most incredible graph on the other site

Winter just keeps winting

Next do Bo Diddley. If syncopation doesn't relate to speech, I'll eat my hat.

A woman glares at the viewer and a monster with sharp teeth and glowing eyes glowers at the viewer from behind her. The text reads "me/my dog/ *the doorbell*".

I'm on my own if there are thunderstorms.

A little green alien with protruding eyes sits on a couch. He is engorged with stolen organs. An intestine sprawls out of his mouth onto the floor, and nudges a boot on a leg seen in shadowed profile

Did you ever see Invader Zim? Zim wants to prove that he's human, so he begins stealing organs and cramming them in his body to trick the school nurse. She praises him near the end: "He's a very healthy boy! So full of organs!" And basically, I want that. But for vaccines. My measles titer was good!

No kings.

Guns don't solve problems. Occasionally they will change what the problem is.

A handsome black cat lounges on a bed. He is content

He has no idea what’s going on out there and I love that for him 🐾

A nightmare Hell Show me hell and give me a nightmare today and tomorrow and honestly show and give it to me forever

Hands down, the best and most unsettling annotation I've ever found in a used book came this week from Thomas Moore's "Care of the Soul": the front inside cover was filled with aphorisms like "I can do hard things" and the back cover just had this

A lazy brown dog on a bed with various stuffed toys at her side. She is looking at the camera with an air of long-suffering.

Here she is, the one who keeps me safe from the doorbell and dryer buzzer. However, if there's gunfire or thunder or a plow drops blade, I am on my own.

Say hello to sleepy little Garbanzo.

Snow on top of a granite slab has melted and left an oblong hole in which the horizon is seen. It is hard to tell the lee side of the hole from the land which juts into the lake. Clouds in the sky blur into the crest of the snow.

February on the reservoir.

Ooh, I hadn't but I'll put it on my list!

This has been on my heart in particular.

Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.
