Look, I know that fast fashion is terrible and I try to buy nothing new and repair what I have whenever possible. But my normal resistance to Temu ads is utterly undone by this objectively incredible item

Will you fight

The translator Mercury is retrograding through Sagittarius and Scorpio over the next few weeks. We’re being asked to review our wins toward freedom on a deeper level. This isn’t the time for surface level chats. It’s time to dive deep and integrate the lessons learned before charging joyfully ahead.

Lots of hard, shitty lessons being learned from this presidency. And one of the many I hope you're learning is, white supremacy is incompatible with reality, and cannot exist without historical revisionism.

“I didn’t want to say immediately it was me,” he said. “With this photo there is a mystery, so you have to make it last.” ❤️

started a batch of fire cider today, big enough to pour into jars and share with my neighbors in about a month. tasty and warming and full of all kinds of herbal goodness!

Leftists really have to prioritize public libraries in budget fights.

night tree, here in my neighborhood

a friend just invited me to a community soup and weed share party and i’ve never been more delighted

Everyone likes to do tea leaf readings of the jury in big cases but "ordered Subway for lunch during deliberations" would be an all-timer.

anyway Destroy Empire. Autonomy Now.

huzzah! more good news!!

even if something “just costs a dollar at the store” it also costs time. bus fare if the bus can even get you there. energy you don’t have after work.

it gets tiring to keep explaining what it means to be poor to people. it is not that poor people don’t know that cooking is cheaper: cooking costs time. it costs pots and pans. it costs a working stove and your utilities on. it costs you’ve been on your feet all day and your babies are tired.

90’s love letter

the Muppets have been real quiet since the Louvre heist

I cleaned the house and showered and there’s a strong, crisp wind blowing through the open windows. Fully ready for the Dark Moon and New Moon at the last degrees of Libra (we’re tired, y’all) and the Sun’s entrance into deep, dark Scorpio this week. Move with stealth, strategy and balance.

Ooof

The regime tried to scare people and failed. That's good.

Polebridge, Montana, and the surrounding North Fork area only has around 100 full-time residents. On Saturday, the hamlet on the edge of Glacier National Park saw more than 60 people attend a No Kings Indivisible rally at the dirt road intersection.

At Oakland #NoKings, I asked Justin here if, as a Black man, he had particular concerns w the Trump admin's actions. Loved his answer.

i luv u, pdx, u beautiful, powerful weirdos.

i challenge you to find cooler news today than “despite all odds against American scientific research rn, a CO researcher developed a temperature-stable, single dose rabies vaccine that works bc of particles coated in CANDY & SAPPHIRE, & it could help reduce rabies deaths in places w/o electricity”

Autism does not need to be cured Ableism does The end

Eclipses depicted by Ibrahim Hakki Erzurumî (1703-1780), from his Marifatnâma (Kandilli Library, MS 369, fol. 52b.)

every time i hear the song ‘glory hole’ it sends me on a multi-week portishead binge. EVERY TIME.

What is it, what nameless, inscrutable, unearthly thing is it

Hannah Oliver Depp: "For the month of Aug., we were down about 60% year over year... People are in pain, they’re suffering, they’re scared... Not-for-profits who might be aligned with us...fear repercussions if they were seen to support a Black, queer, Asian, disability-owned independent bookstore."

Mercury’s really been doing the most, y’all. The planet of communication and exchanges trines Pluto and Uranus, and opposes Neptune (all retrograde btw) here in the US tomorrow. Foggy and disruptive messages? ✅ Revelations/concealments about secret power? ✅ As above, so below…

All inner planets change signs in the next 5 days; a lot in flux around this eclipse

got my 2025-26 COVID booster! if you’re an adult here in WA state, you can get one if you want one. if you’re uninsured, check out the adult vaccine program on the DOH website for free or low cost options.

If you give even an inch on this subject, I cannot trust you. There’s no reason to negotiate about the perception or (nonexistent) decency of this man. You know what he was and how harmful his lionization is. No one who aids in it in any way should be forgiven.

What I am asking of people right now is DISCERNMENT and NONCOMPLIANCE. Both of these things if practiced by most of us will help dig us out of this hole. More is needed than this of course but practicing both of these is an excellent start.

I’m in Westport for a few days and I just love it so much, y’all. I mean, how could I *not*???

never not true 🤣⛺️🤣

A Spirit Halloween has arisen from the grave of an old Joann Fabrics here in Olympia. Feels right.

Caught Stealing is the most fun I’ve had at a movie in a long, long time. Late ‘90 LES! Carol Kane! Delightful ending cameo! Stellar actors having a real good time! Give Bud the cat an Oscar.

People literally bled & died fighting against corporate interests, robber barons, corrupt local & state politicians, cops & hired killers, & the federal government & US military for better working conditions for the rest of us so reflect on that today for just a bit while you're doing whatever else.

my solid virgo placements are really saving my ass rn

If you haven’t dropped a book on your face when you attempt to read whilst lying down, can you really claim to have battle scars?

🧵I reviewed "Branching Out: The Public History of Trees" at @barnraiser.bsky.social‬, an essay collection that recovers meaning from trees in our history and shows the way toward positive meaning-making with trees to help us reorient the trajectory of the history.

“This is not a requiem for Altadena. It’s an ode to Altadena. A poem of praise for a place — a bedrock for thousands of lives — that still exists. It deserves our care and protection.”

Fuck em, and that's the attitude that will get us through this shit show. We need to band together locally and help where we can. No one can save everyone, but everyone can save someone. Who can you save?

ugh it’s been a rough eldercare day, y’all. shout out to everyone doing their best to care for themselves and their loved ones!
