I'm watching #Foundation, and Terrence Mann plays the older iteration of the emperor. He's great, so I looked him up and discovered the most #80's video ever. I'm pretty sure I actually saw him in #CATS on #Broadway on a high school drama class trip. Enjoy! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7n9...

if you’re willing to throw another population under the bus to save yourself, you’re not actually willing to fight fascism.

fascism isn’t a bear, it can’t be escaped by simply outrunning someone slower than you.

the only way it can be defeated is through solidarity.

Today at a pool, I let a kid borrow my water pistol. He immediately yelled, “Execute Order 66!” and shot me repeatedly in the face. Then he started doing the same to everyone else. I didn't think I'd meet Darth Water today.

Literally drinking coffee out of a plastic-lined can as I read this.

I did not know that the post office sells D&D stamps.

If you would have told 15 yr old me that D&D would be popular enough for the post office to sell stamps for it, I would have never believed you.

A partially knitted gray and purple striped sock.

It finally happened. I was knitting in public and someone literally pulled my project from my hands to look at. I did not slap their wrist and say “no!” but it was close. #knit #socks

A handful of blue whitewater rafts filled with people, out on the water.

Temps in the high 60s, enough threat of a drizzle to keep crowds away. It’s a great day to come to the #nationalwhitewatercenter.

I just saw a man taking a morning constitutional while carrying a bright green #parrot. I defy anyone to tell me that #charlottenc is not a world class city.

Book cover: The Overstory A Novel by Richard Powers

Continuing to work through the book backlog (book log?). So far, The Overstory is divine. #book

I may never work through my unread book backlog, but I’m giving it my best!

Runaway kangaroo on the loose named Sheila shuts down Alabama interstate A runaway kangaroo shut down a stretch of interstate in Alabama on Tuesday. The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency said the kangaroo was spotted hopping along Interstate 85 in Macon County, which is just ...

Okay, I'm sick of horrible news. So here's a story about a #kangaroo hopping down an Alabama highway before being safely recaptured. #apnews apnews.com/article/esca...

I’m at our Democratic Party County Convention, and our precinct turnout is so high we’re overflowing our designated seating area. It’s great to see!

I ordered pad thai for lunch with the spice level as "mild." It's burning my mouth with its heat. I am the most white bread of all the basic white girls in pumpkin spice land.

What you're seeing are wet microbursts—intense downdrafts from thunderstorms that slam rain into the ground, creating those stunning lobes. Like a reverse explosion from the sky. Captured in Perth, #Australia

Calvin likes to tunnel out of sight at the vet (he’s fine). “No Calvin here!” #cat #orangecat

Two kids are running at this park. One politely said as they ran past, “I’m not doing a race, okay? Please let me run as slow as I want.”
Same, kid. Same. #kids

A silver ring caked in dirt. A hand is holding it next to a hole dug by a small animal.

Three years ago my husband lost this ring, we thought on a camping trip. Yesterday, I found it by a fresh squirrel hole. What are the odds? #squirrel #lostandfound #buriedtreasure
