This is that good shit. Straight to my veins. BE LOUD ABOUT HOW YOU HELP PEOPLE. Signal the fuck out of your virtue. Peer pressure people into kindness. Make it cool and badass to help strangers not for clout but because it feels good for everyone to partake in their society. It rocks! Do it!

And people who do silly things with great enthusiasm.

abandoned tasks should chime like a fridge door left open too long

There's a place for wolves in this world, not on our doorsteps, but out in the wilderness where they belong.

Still in a state of shock trying to process the tragic loss of one of the most gifted men in the entertainment industry & his wife when the Embarrassment-in-Chief disgraces common human decency with this repulsive, deranged statement. #NoWords 🤮

We lost Reiner tonight, but through his art he became truly immortal. People will never stop asking Mandy to say that line because Reiner created something beautiful that will never die. It is a gift we'll never lose.

There are so many people living lives of quiet dignity despite horrific medical news or poverty or tragedy where every day they still wake up and try to be good people in the world even as the world pushes against them and it makes me even angrier at the absolute shitheads that rule over things

Someone please leak the entirety of the Epstein Files so the world can move on from this stupidity and throw the criminals in prison to rot.

Great culture can save lives. Literally. Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard

maybe I love the overlooked things, the little details, the words, the pauses, and the meaning between it all

I think some folks are way past the the skills of 3 Christmas ghosts. Let's just give Krampus a map of D.C. and call it a day.

Earlier today, I was notified that someone was at my door. This is who it was:

Next time you find yourself fevered by a sense of helplessness, apply this Ellen Bass poem like a cold compress: www.themarginalian.org/2025/07/26/e...

in retrospect the metoo movement did not go too far and in fact should have been given spanish inquisition levels of power and authority

finding joy despite the world in 2025 is like this lol

Pay attention to what Democratic candidates are saying right now. Find and support the fighters. Having a spine must be a litmus test issue in 2026 and beyond.

“Life without art is not life.” I want a Netflix series on this whole family - how they live and how they walk around in the world. They sound like people we would all get great value from knowing.

You have to survive. There are graves to piss on that haven't been dug yet.

It may be a bit early, but I'd like to say, I hope your holiday season is filled with tons of weird local art, fabulous small business finds, a plethora of used books, inspiring live music, time spent with Nature, & many acts of kindness, love, and community service. #StarveTheSystem #FeedThePeople

Darlings, a reminder for when everything feels bad: --Reach out. --Move toward joy. --Drink water. --Take your meds. --Allow yourself to feel your feelings. --A 3 minute dance party in the kitchen helps. --If you have a pet, hug them. (Unless it's, like, a fish.) --When in doubt, make art.

And then the sun broke through the clouds and we were free.

When did making kids go hungry become a Christian value?

The most beautiful people will stop without thought to help Will dance to the sound of rain on tin roofs or a discarded box of thoughts Will dance until the cows come home and with the cows Will skip into their friends arms and never let go until they combust When you glow you light the way

Wake up, babe, the least subtle visual metaphor in history just dropped

Woke 2.0 will not only be bigger, woke-er, louder, more inclusive. It will be slooooooow. Dinner parties, yule log TV, birding. Get out of the way, hustle culture, I've got a crossword to finish in the park before standing in line for brunch.

A brutal morning in war-torn Portland, where the battle between Voodoo Donuts and Sesame Donuts rages on. Who will win? Only the glaze knows. #Portland #Donuts #F**kice

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

DLMayfield: "Here’s my pep talk after studying authoritarianism: They never truly expect a long-term resistance movement because they think people are a collection of trauma triggers who are easily controlled through terror. The best way to resist fascism is to not let them terrorize you."

Joy is resistance. Grasp joy in both hands and hold it close as long as you can.

The tea is brewing.

Let your joy burn a hole right through their miserable soul.

Count me in.

When it's dark, look to the glimmering stars.

Be strong for those who cannot be. Be kind, but especially to those who seldom receive kindness. Be aware of your weaknesses, but also your strengths. Be smart, be brave, be loyal. In short, be a true warrior, and know I am proud to stand with you.

To act with Grace towards others, when family members don't even know the meaning of the word, is a Super Power.

Love is a verb.

Dutch late night TV has its take

Maybe art alone can’t save the world, but when it provides a mechanism to share truths and experiences those in power vehemently don’t want you to hear, it becomes a crucial part of the fight. Make the thing. Support the thing. Stories, comedy, art, expression empower. Only villains fear creativity.

Cutting into a loaf of sourdough is an erotic experience

Saw a young woman this morning wearing 2 pendants. One of the Virgin Mary, and the other a rhinestone encrusted AK-47. Pretty much sums up America right now.

Your legacy is the way you made people feel. Your words and actions and rhetoric. It’s how you’ll be remembered. It’s your lasting impact on others. We should be helpers in this world, not only because it’s right and good and just, but because it is the legacy we leave for others.

The only thing I can ever come back to is that finding any kind of joy on your own terms in the face of the ascent of the worst people in the fucking world is itself a small act of defiance. Spite and small moments are the only thing that’s going to get me through this Demolition Man future.

Don't be afraid of getting old. Let it liberate you. Let your talons grow long and wild. Festoon your antlers with moss & wildflowers. Skulk through the shadows, invisible to most. Become the shambling forest creature you were destined to be.

Every weekend should be a long weekend where we have reason to hope someone terrible who’s ruining everything might die.

A few things worth holding onto: •Rest doesn’t mean weakness—it’s fuel. •Boundaries are not walls—they’re doors you control. •Speaking up about your struggles doesn’t make you “too much”—it makes you human. •Asking for help doesn’t erase your strength—it multiplies it.

“This is emotional intelligence in action. It’s the ability to separate your worth from your reception. To know that criticism, especially when it’s loud and unkind, says more about the critic than the subject. It’s the art of holding your own peace when others try to disrupt it.” YES 🙌🏽 #Unbothered
