Tuesdays with memento mori

I don’t know if I ever mentioned, but my own dear mother taught English at Stevenson for a year, before getting pregnant with my older sister (and of course continuing to teach was Not the Done Thing back then). She talked about it often.

I demand to know when @etrigan.bsky.social found the time to send them all the reference photos of me.

Gorgeous! Love some Zoom-enabled handcrafts.

WHY INDEED

OMG. Sound on!

Definitely felt that today at the one I went to.

Yes, Guy Actual Branum! That just about broke my brain. Also WHY is he not findable on here.

Someone made a Wiley E. Coyote style painted wall to see if Tesla’s autopilot would detect it and well…

It’s entirely possible this will be the first time someone wins a Pulitzer Prize for their Super Bowl halftime show performance.

I am, and have, been saying.

I have a KEEP HONKING sticker as well as a ✨bestie please let me merge✨ decal on my minivan, just to keep the vibe confusing.

I'm just stating this outright because I do not EVER want there to be any doubt where I'm at on this:

ban that fucker.

protect the trans community.

The flip side of this is that the worst wrecks I ever used to see on the highway are those that happened on no-weather days - nothing makes Michiganders crash horribly like broad daylight, 50 degrees, no precipitation, and some nice cloud cover to cut the glare.

You want to know one totally doable action step you can take before the next administration? Get vaccinated. Seriously. Check your immunization history right now and see if you're up to date. One you've been putting off? Don't. You taking that step now may save someone's life in the next few years.

Go into your photo roll and post the first thing that makes you laugh literally out loud

The only reason Bluesky exists in the form it does today is through the efforts of an entire community of trans shitposters. They are the bedrock foundation of this place and Bluesky needs to acknowledge that and take special measures to protect them. This is the very least Bluesky owes trans folks.

NBC news screenshot of interview with Texas representative Greg Casar "The progressive movement needs to change. We need to re-emphasize core economic issues every time some of these cultural war issues are brought up," Casar said. "So when we hear Republicans attacking queer Americans again, I think the progressive response needs to be that a trans person didn't deny your health insurance claim, a big corporation did - with Republican help. We need to connect the dots for people that the Republican Party obsession with these culture war issues is driven by Republicans' desire to distract voters and have them look away while Republicans pick their pocket."

We sure do!

We’re not actually sorry.

Unlike you, I get my news from a reliable source.

Ah, I see we’ve reached Landsvent, the season during which I receive a Lands’ End catalog every single day.

Both of these, plus a touring production of “Sweeney Todd” when I was at a much too tender elementary school age.

I stopped reading convoluted novels by Italian authors. Too much of an Umberto Eco chamber.

I like “liberry,” as it happens. Also (unrelatedly) joolery.

A tweet from Dana schwartz -- I feel like this holiday season. It's important to remind people of the true meaning of Christmas: ghosts terrorizing rich people in the middle of the night until they agree to pay their employees more

'Tis the season.

Post a non-religious photo you think of as holy.

If House Republicans really wanted to protect women, they'd release the Ethics Committee report on Matt Gaetz' alleged sex trafficking - not try to ban their colleagues from using the bathroom. Stop the bigotry and release the report.

To recap: Trump is a rapist found liable for defaming the woman he raped. His pick for attorney general is currently accused of statutory rape at sex parties. His pick for defense secretary is accused of sexual assault.

But Sarah McBride using a restroom is the threat.

Okay.
