Repeat after me: *the purpose of a system is what it does*
If you wanted a justice system whose purpose was to ensure public safety you would need to make a different system that *does that*
The current carceral system's purpose is racialized oppression. That's what it does.
Sandbridge has beautiful sunrises!🧡💛

Yep, agreed. He needs to be primaried. We knew this was coming after the kerfuffle with Rump’s “injured” ear in Fetterman’s back yard. Damn it. What a betrayal.

He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

The artist apparently misunderstood what St Joseph’s wanted. Not sure who allowed the float to be shown. Agreed, it’s disgusting. I’m ashamed to live here.

Comet C/2025 A6 Lemmon taken from my backyard
Two nights of 3:45am alarms, blazing full moon lighting the sky like daytime and washing out the light of everything else, comet included. Then two days of post-processing battles, as comet processing is maddeningly tricky.
But I finally pulled it off: here is C/2025 A6 Lemmon. 🔭
