I pretty much know the whole story at this point but she is such an amazing writer I'm determined to get myself in the frame of mind to read it someday

Yeah. Embarrassed to say I still haven't read Parable of the Sower for this reason. I tried again a few years ago but I couldn't handle it.

Still thinking about this days later. So much of what comes out of his puckered, senile, baby lips is such comedy gold and at the same
time the most terrifying wild card ever. I'm laughing my ass off, but I'm also livestock 💀

Aaahhh! 🩷

They finally retired this color I think, or at least the name (can't imagine why!), but I'm going to just refill my last bottle with peach paint forever because it will never not be funny

Painted something with Santa's Flesh yesterday. Cracks me up every single time.

Made the mistake of looking down while grabbing pickles at the grocery store this morning. I know people sometimes drink this stuff but that is a half gallon, lol.

For this one I filmed myself skating around the empty building at work so I could play around with color, layering, and movement. Just an experiment, but I like some of what's happening.

Here's a link to Gene's entire book that you can read for free:

Gene Sharp, The politics of nonviolent action
www.bmartin.cc/pubs/peace/7...

I don't romaticize non-violence as the only way (also one of the points she was making), but I think having lots of ideas to build off of in order to confuse and distract fascists (a tactic they pull on us all the time) is going to be so important in the years to come.

Forgot she likes to delete her posts when they get too much traction. She was sharing this list of non-violent actions based on research by Gene Sharp.

Even funnier is the case wasn't what I wanted so I returned it, lol. Rejected by their God.

Plastic packaging that reads "Hello my God. We take care your need. We are doing."

Wow, ok. I just ordered a phone case from you guys, but thanks I guess??

One of my favorite movies ever if you are looking for something silly and unique to watch and you haven't seen it. It's free on Tubi (I know they're evil but...) or it is sometimes available for digital rental thru the local library.

The romance plot line is badly done and unconvincing (pretty common with 80's-90's sci-fi), but the rest of the movie makes up for it.

It has everything--retrofuturism, badass heroine, muscle cars, ridiculous action scenes, a sadistic gang who live in a desert resort and dress in crazy 50's/80's shirts, a cameo by young Laurence Fishburn, a cave dwelling hitman named Six Fingered Jake and rides a raft with donkeys?! (I love him).

Was trying to get my mind off all the shit that's happening right now so I rewatched Cherry 2000 for at least the dozenth time...

These glasses Daniel found at work the other day are 🔥. If only I could see 😩

(I was trying to look like a bitchy secretary in the second pic but couldn't keep a straight face)

OMG. There are more of them!! Guess I'm a vintage sloth puppet collector now??

A great thread. Includes the list and a link to read his book for free

Photo of a classic tiny chicken made of pipe cleaners. It is lit up by blacklight and only its beak is glowing. It is posed in a way that it looks like it is screaming

Going through the photos on my phone and found this, lol

Book cover of Down The Drain by Julia Fox

Returning this to a friend after finishing it a few weeks ago. SO much better than I expected. Esp. loved the part when she was in Louisiana. And the scene with Stuart, her first client as a dominatrix was so good. When he was like, "Hey, do you like The Strokes?!" I completely lost it, lol.

Ugh, I missed Severance so much. Season 2 was worth the wait. One of my favorite shows ever.

Hi there! If you don't know me already, I'm Tamara. I've been lurking here for a year now and decided it's probably time to jump in. To give you an idea what you are in for, this is Frederick (pronounced free-drick). He lives on my sofa and is currently my favorite thing.
