Appealing to someone to do the right thing in order to be on the right side of history only works to activate your choir. The people whose morals you are trying to appeal to plan on burning the history books. #txlege

The Anti-Trump Movement Finds Its Rebellious Muse: Andor The No Kings protest in Austin, Texas, was themed “Kick Out the Clowns.” But there was a dark undercurrent amid the drag performances and chicken dances.

Ok, I’ll start watching Andor.

A protest scene in late afternoon light. A person kneels in the middle of a city street, holding up a large American flag intertwined with the Mexican flag. The sun is low and bright in a clear blue sky, casting long shadows and creating a silhouette effect. Other protestors walk and gather around in the background, some holding flags, some on bikes. A traffic light looms overhead, green, but frozen mid-frame like a signal suspended in time.

Flag day.

My favorite souvenir from the No Kings protest at the Capitol. A little kid made these and was giving them to people. Is yesterday what a Taylor Swift concert feels like?

I love the way the two flags together, the American and the Mexican, make a composite. 💜

A parent at my school’s drop off is a comedian. A nerd comedian. Got to stalk them and make friends.

A dreaded sunny day, so let’s go where we’re happy, and I’ll meet you at the cemetry gates.

Visited the historic Boggy Creek Masonic Cemetery, in S. Austin, Sunday evening, right before sunset.

Fuck him and his bullshit Autism study all the way to Hell. He’s just scared of us.

I thoroughly enjoyed 1994.

Look at me, being productive and making print ads for my business.

I wonder where I can find a piece of authentic, reasonably -priced Moldavite in the Austin area.🤔

Keep in mind, this is a bougie school by my standards. Seems like the kids get up to more dramatic trouble than the school we were zoned to. I think the guy with the backpack was probably just someone who may be unhoused, who wandered onto school grounds. But that could be unpredictable.

They had a stabbing at his school toward the beginning of the year. But I don’t want someone showing up at his school with a machete in their backpack, unless it’s Danny Trejo giving a talk to my kiddo’s theatre class. And then I’d really expect that Danny would have a machete valet, not a backpack.

Sending out happy one-year anniversary wishes to my current state of burnout.

Come on. I ain’t askin’ for the world here. I’m just askin’ for an 8-ball and $2 million.

Providing your dog opportunities for enrichment is important.

As long as I know there’s still at least one creek between us and the car.

The first time ever I saw Derp’s face.

That feeling when your son stays home sick from school and then you get a school email that a man smoking a cigarette, with a machete in his backpack, was escorted off school grounds.

Bonus points for including Oscar Isaac in your comment.

Can I herd that sheep?

Jake Tapper: "One 60 Minutes source tells me, 'The lawsuit was baseless. Bill Owens wouldn't apologize. He wouldn't bend. He fought for the broadcast and for independent journalism and that cost him his job. It's shameful.'"

The reason billionaires like McMahon are obsessed with student debt is that creating financial precarity makes people more stressed about losing their job. If you’re worried about your job you’re less likely to quit and find work elsewhere. You’re less likely to ask for a raise. It’s pure class war.

My theme for today: You can’t take me away from me.

This is it.

"The Trump administration's attack on difference, the idea that people who are different are a tragedy and a burden and that they have nothing to contribute — that is fascism. And it is a danger to almost everyone."

Also, great Sit Pretty!✨✨✨

Ours is a Westie mix. But we have yet to Embark. I think it is most likely poodle because her head fur is like cotton candy and she’s so smart. But also could be Yorkie, Maltese, Chihuahua, etc. Whatever it is, she is just this little boon that fell into our lives to make us laugh.💗

🙌🙌🙌Fabulous.🙌🙌🙌 My Moxie would kill for that coat. (Hers is a few factions of coat types fighting for dominance.)
