You aren't letting anyone down by taking a day off from the news.

The shitshow will be there tomorrow.

Others can churn rage on your behalf while you breathe and keep yourself safe.

You are not doing patriotism wrong by ensuring you don't lose your mind every single moment of every single day.

A page with the title "LGB Travelers"

‼️ The State Department has REMOVED TQIA+ on their page of recommendations for queer travelers. This page yesterday said "LGBTQIA+" and now just says "LGB".

The federal government is trying to erase trans people from existence.

The mask is off with these fucking fascists.

Trump is calling trans military members dishonorable liars, is shutting down gov't funded programs to try to root out trans people, and red states across the country are following suit.

There's barely any pretense to their hateful policy anymore.

For real though. The list keeps growing.

I finally stopped using Amazon a few months ago, and it's been so much easier than I imagined

I guess it’s time to add Target to my list of stores to not shop at now. 🤷‍♂️

Me: Oh no that trolley is going to run us over!

Guy tied up on the track next to me who somehow thinks he's actually the guy holding the lever: Lol cry more 😂

YouTube video by The National "I Am Easy To Find" - A Film by Mike Mills / An Album by The National

Just watched the short film “I Am Easy To Find” during my lunch break after a recommendation from @teejgames.bsky.social.

I don’t know if I needed to be in this headspace right now… but here I am 🥲. It’s a beautiful gut punch and absolutely worth the time.

The thing is, I feel like if someone truly, accidentally, & unintentionally made a n*zi salute on a national stage, they would be appropriately horrified by it and apologize. And when they don’t ….. it says everything.

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

In “Batman Returns,” the Penguin orchestrates the kidnapping of a baby that he “thwarts” to make himself look like a hero in the eyes of the public.

Just thinking about that scene a lot tonight…

go to your local bookstore if you have the privilege to live close to one!! STOP giving money to Amazon ❌

The internet had the potential to make humans so much smarter and interconnected. Instead, it's dumbing us down and siloing us off. A real tragedy.

This is one of the most important videos circulating the internet for US citizens today. I truly hope more people take the time to watch and share!

David Lynch spoke openly of being isolated from community and the communal art-making he loved because of society's abandonment of covid precautions. Mourn him, be inspired by him, and mask up.

My favorite band is Rapid Unscheduled Disassemblies in the Sky.

Today started off strange. Then learned of the passing of David Lynch. The day became even worse. I have to believe all this weird energy coming from every direction is because he has left this world. RIP to the greatest artist of our time. How lucky we all are to have lived in the same timeline.

"Forty-two years ago, for reasons beyond my comprehension, David Lynch plucked me out of obscurity to star in his first and last big budget movie. He clearly saw something in me that even I didn’t recognize. I owe my entire career, and life really, to his vision. What I saw in him was an enigmatic and intuitive man with a creative ocean bursting forth inside of him. He was in touch with something the rest of us wish we could get to. Our friendship blossomed on Blue Velvet and then Twin Peaks and I always found him to be the most authentically alive person I’d ever met. David was in tune with the universe and his own imagination on a level that seemed to be the best version of human. He was not interested in answers because he understood that questions are the drive that make us who we are. They are our breath. While the world has lost a remarkable artist, I’ve lost a dear friend who imagined a future for me and allowed me to travel in worlds I could never have conceived on my own. I can see him now, standing up to greet me in his backyard, with a warm smile and big hug and that Great Plains honk of a voice. We’d talk coffee, the joy of the unexpected, the beauty of the world, and laugh. His love for me and mine for him came out of the cosmic fate of two people who saw the best things about themselves in each other. I will miss him more than the limits of my language can tell and my heart can bear. My world is that much fuller because I knew him and that much emptier now that he’s gone. David, I remain forever changed, and forever your Kale. Thank you for everything."

was mostly keeping it together until I read Kyle MacLachlan's tribute to David Lynch
