Bromeliad Mixtape

There’s something about Cotton’s face: the first time I saw him, he immediately struck me as a fanatical judge at an eighteenth-century witch trial, eager to watch people burn.

That whole insanity introduced me to their fantastic pizza, though, and their wings, which are sort of bathed in sumac - we indulge like once a month now, while the kid plays ping pong in the back. Still no basement!

2/2 and assiduous work to comply with all stakeholders. Make no mistake: the destruction of the East Wing and construction of this bribe-welcoming ballroom is flatly illegal, and they do not care.

Until furlough I worked at a federal building on the Mall. Obtaining authorization for our minor, largely ameliorative project required several years, clearances from multiple federal and citizens’ boards, public hearings, rounds of SOWs and RFQs to potential contractors, 1/2

Come on over and help @apexmag.bsky.social get funded to keep publishing some excellent speculative short fiction! There is some excellent swag and offerings to check out.

Thank you, dear Hookland. Lacing up my shoes in DC now, and wishing a couple of Drowned Dead could accompany us.

Perfect! This is such a succinct capture of the inarticulate mood of dread that one feels at these junctures. In a completely different place and era, it could be applied to the escalating dread before the reveal of “the Man” in Pulp Fiction’s diner sequence.

Aka the dude who killed his neighbor’s dog with a shovel. These are not sane people.

Emergency press conference after Homeland Security and Immigration agents target the National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts & Culture in Chicago

Does no one dare line edit this asshole?

Covering up a mass graves will take a while - that’s the message they’re sending here.

Thank you as always for articulating what we all feel. I keep dreaming of being lost in the surf, unable to tell up from down as the water batters me and carries me away.

There is a Smithsonian in DC that recently replaced all its outdoor posters - featuring a gay Black artist, and the work of Brazilian artists - with plain text on black. It’s cowardice and the attempt of museum executives to save their asses. Some of them have no ethics: only the desire to survive.

Who HESITATES when asked if the human race should endure? And how can he criticize surgery when he’s clearly had a ton of it? And adhere to Orthodox Christianity as a gay man? Incoherent, genocidal, hypocritical - how dare these rich fools try to rule us when they can’t form a logical thought.

Bless you for your work.

Never mind; just scrolled down…. :)

Nice to see you sleeping in for once, Skinner! You’re generally up studying and feeding cats by like 5:30….

Such a beautiful sight. Brave and proud - they will not be hidden or defeated.

This man has already murdered thousands by destroying USAID and will kill millions more now that aid is suspended. Every accusation a deflection for these serial killers.

Well, Trumpie, I guarantee we’ll all be dancing in the streets when your own hideous diagnosis is leaked by one of your resentful quislings.

My dad looked healthier and more vibrant in hospice at 90.

WTF is a disaster season? If it’s meant to correspond to the fiscal year, why are they having just “a 90-minute meeting” about it on the 15th of fucking May to plan it out? Bit behind, isn’t he?

Prediction: the technology will be advanced privately, and available only to the ultrarich, who will simply continue to lie about vaccines and publicly funded science to keep their drooling supporters on board.

Dictator chic, but make it Temu.

It’s about 10 times worse than toddlerhood. (Granted, he was a sweet toddler.)

Like this bald-headed string bean pussy will be ever on the front lines of ANYTHING. He’ll be hiding in the basement sobbing into his waifu doll about how it’s all so unfair.

They’re often wrong. They steal others’ work. They are enormous energy sucks. And they’re being crammed down our throats by billionaires who wish only to rob and enslave us. ISNT THAT ENOUGH?

Talia, as a fellow Useless Eater, this is so good. Thank you.

Aw, what a sweet hopeful critter!

They don’t care if other people die. In fact they prefer it.
