What the fuck is wrong with this guy. I was just writing about this Reagan today and referenced the time he laughed it up with Richard Nixon in 1971, calling a UN delegation from Tanzania monkeys and laughing that they weren't wearing shoes.

I am not voting for this guy so find a better candidate

That's exactly how that shirt is meant to wear. Well done 😌

Congrats! (Also a belated happy birthday)

Safe travels!! 🙏

I remember this Joseph Campbell lecture

All of that to say, if I suddenly start posting more with no immediately apparent point, this is why 🤷‍♂️

I've given myself some time to wallow in this. Now it's time to start actively addressing it.

I think maybe step one will literally just be to talk more? I've very much stopped expressing myself as I shut down in the last half a year while dealing with grief, burnout, etc

I think the snowfall in North Carolina is rather peaceful and we should just take a beat.

Amore STOWMP.

THAT'S LITERALLY THE MOMENT. EVERY SINGLE TIME

An incredible film that never fails to have me in tears every time I watch it

Time to spend one zillion dollars at DreamHaven Books!!! I buy almost all my new giant art books and pulpy used books from them. Also I secretly sign books there whenever I stop in for a treat.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Really glad to hear that you're feeling better!

he knows that we know he's lying. he's telling us we're all terrorists to him. he's telling us that to dissent is now a capital crime. he's telling us they'll shoot us, too, and they'll say we deserved it.

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.

There must be consequences, there must be change in how we handled these moments. Whether they’re seditionists or working within the system, ⚪️ supremacists/nationalists have to be treated like the criminals they are.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

Training* for ICE is a good idea

*vocational training so they can perform honest work when they get out of prison

It's been quite a long time since I've known what it would take to make me happy, and it's definitely acting as a detriment to all the relationships in my life

Ugh, please imagine that I ended this post on a joke somehow

they’ll blame you for being in their way even when they’re the ones who invaded the neighborhood where your baby was sleeping inside your home

I don't want to share the video but you are going to see it somewhere. You'll see an ICE agent shoot a legal observer as they attempt to drive away. If there's any humanity in you, you'll be angry. I want you to stay angry at the people who are lying to cover this up.

YESSS

she’s lying, obviously. we can see the video with our own eyes. but it’s so interesting that they’re suddenly so willing to believe a car is a deadly weapon when they ignored the 100 documented instances of right wingers hitting protesters with their cars in 2020.

they’re abducting our neighbors and putting them in concentration camps and they’ll shoot you in the fucking face if you don’t cheer them on while they’re doing it.

Don't get mad lil guy but those are honestly kinda cute on you like that

excited for tech overlords to spend billions of dollars uploading their consciousness to the cloud and then we just unplug it

I don’t know who or what this little gremlin is, but I feel like they get up to some shit. Aside from being intensely perceptive, I’m pretty sure they can climb walls. If it helps, tho’, they’re about the size of a pug.
