Lightly Starched Creations

This really highlights why they’ve moved away from democracy. They believe themselves to be the righteous crusaders saving civilization from the godless left, in a world where people are turning away from religion. Their zealotry makes them extremely dangerous.

The Pride flag at the Stonewall Monument is re-raised!

New Yorkers won’t let Donald Trump erase LGBTQ+ history, or trample the rights of our LGBTQ+ neighbors.

Attention all NYC tenants!

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

It’s the Trump Doctrine of “Give me money. Money me. Money now. Me a money needing a lot now.”

YouTube video by PBS NewsHour WATCH: Minneapolis resident and U.S. citizen Aliya Rahman describes being detained by ICE

I’m sharing Aliya’s entire opening statement. We owe it to her, and those who no longer have a voice, to watch. youtu.be/zrcW8SZtYpI?...

'We Will Not Bow': No Kings 3 Rallies Scheduled for March 28 With Flagship Event in Minnesota | Common Dreams Nationwide No Kings protest planned for March 28 to resist Trump's authoritarian attacks on immigrant communities.

Nationwide No Kings Rally #3 scheduled for March 28

We need 20 million people to come out and protest.

Let's show King Trump and his oligarch masters who's really in charge...not them!

"Why won't this annoying fire alarm stop beeping? I should take its batteries out," said the man whose house was on fire.

I wonder what part of “Art of the Deal” talks about throwing a temper tantrum when somebody doesn’t want to be trade partners with you because you’re a toxic a-hole.

Going back and watching Mark Carney's thirty-minute speech after watching thirty-minutes of Trumps ninety-minute speech is pretty bonkers. It's like psychological whiplash.

Republicans: “Why does Joe Biden keep pooping in Donald Trump’s pants???”

Apparently the only part of Fetterman’s brain that survived the stroke was the part connected directly to his rectum.

One last crappy phone pic to round out the year. New Year’s resolution: get a dedicated photo area setup.

As a new years present to myself, I just finished the first draft of a novel. Now I can spend the next couple days planning out my writing deadlines for 2026 in order to hit the ground running.

I want to do better pictures of my recent projects, but it’s been so long since I’ve taken any pictures at all. So I figured I should just upload this crappy phone pic to get back in the habit.

The cat curled up on my open laptop, which is on the seat of my comfy chair

“Maybe if I leave my laptop on the chair the cat won’t steal my spot as soon as I stand up.”

I have a friend who works on the One Chicago franchise shows. He told me about how he had to spend a whole day scouting locations outside of Chicago for motels with outdoor pools. Because all the writers for the show live in LA and didn't know most motels in Chicago don't have outdoor pools.

They have no interest in fixing the healthcare system, they just can’t say it out loud. So instead we get this. They’re acting like they’re working on it while letting the ACA slowly die from a thousand cuts.

Know your rights. Protect your neighbors.

New York is — and always will be — a city for all immigrants.

That desire hasn't ever left us, sadly. It's just become more mainstream again. Popularized by podcasters and influencers on the right, and legitimized by elected officials.

Eugenics. There’s a strain of thought in right-wing circles that modern science has allowed people to survive who would have otherwise been “weeded out” of the gene pool. By removing vaccines, they think that only people with strong genes will survive and create a new generation of worthy offspring.
