Love this show. Love everything about it. In fact, I got a "Deborah Vance" shirt for Mother's Day, so I guess that means I'm a "Little Debbie" now. I hate AI, too.

"“God, you’re hot. Do you know that? Damn. Where do you go to school at?” Ervin said as he put his arm around her and hugged her from the side." He says he didn't know hot meant what we all know it means, which is also disqualifying for a member of a school board imo.

I've moved on in my art from tuxes and posh frocks to flowers, still life and gardens. I do still like the way people love to dress up in Cambridge: sometimes evening gowns, sometimes as molly dancers, morris men, hippies, punks, new wavers -any excuse!

Now playing on WRTI #publicradio #jazz youtu.be/q-d32veDFOw?...

It's amazing that people think being transgender gives you an unfair advantage in sports but say nothing about being wealthy. 🙄

Anemones, freesia and ivy leaves, pastel (not recent). Also I think some eucalyptus leaves. I think these were bought flowers apart from the ivy.

this one is funny because i guess "working class" people don't live in richmond or norfolk or suffolk or albemarle or manassas? bsky.app/profile/coll...

For the record: The Washington Post can go fuck itself. Support pro-democracy media that doesn't have its head stuck up Donald Trump's ass. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

In CA and VA the Democrats put a bill up for a vote, and the people voted. Did they do that in Texas? Did they do that in fucking Misery? NO THEY DID NOT. Democrats SUPPORT the process of democracy. Republicans run like scared little bitches from the process of democracy. FUCK THE GOP!

Well that didn’t take long.

I’m still stuck on her needing “no tax on tips” to pay for her husband’s cancer treatments. How many centuries will it take for that math to pay off? Her time would be better spent supporting single payer health insurance.

To me it looks like he is stealing that man's soul.

Zsolt Hegedus, a leading candidate for health minister in a future Hungarian government, danced enthusiastically on stage as the opposition Tisza party celebrated a landslide victory that ended Viktor Orban's long rule.

Sing you sweet thing your dawn chorus of sighs opens my sleep-heavy eyes and the soft light from the window barely suggesting your form like some holy mountain in the distance A loose thread on your shoulder and all this before six a.m. #vss365

Pastel from two years ago depicting my garden including a fairly invisible figure reading. Hoping for a similar profusion of growth and colour this year.

Brutal.

Trump is planning to take the lives of millions of innocent civilians in his reckless war of choice.  Republicans need to put the humanity of others over their allegiance to this maniac and join Democrats to put a stop to this evil.

Today’s warped, far-right Christianity in one tweet: Killing people in an unnecessary war is less offensive than recognizing the existence of transgender people.

There is no excuse for downplaying or eliding the insanity of Trump’s morning post. It is the most unhinged public comment by a president in US history and should be reported and remarked upon as such.

Watercolour of flowers, leaves and a couple of pears. I think vases like the brown one at the front are made from bottles by heating.

The Generals are gone. The AG is gone. We started a war. Gas is up. Healthcare is up. Prescriptions are up. The rich are richer. The poor are poorer. Protesters have been killed. Service members have been killed. The law is a suggestion. The constitution is a memory. We. Are. Not. Okay.

The TikTok girlies (gender neutral) are hatching a plan to all buy copies of communion by hooks on Vance's release date. I will be participating.

The most common spelling is ‘April Fools’ Day,’ since there are more than one. Honestly.

One of the worst headlines I've ever seen

Happy #TDOV 🏳️‍⚧️! On top of being trans, I'm an Illustrator, owner of @sulkypup.bsky.social, hobbyist photographer and astrophotographer! Happy to have been out for over 10 years now!! (also hi I'm available for Illustration work 🫣)

Wow. They've got photos and messages. Why it matters: 'Damaging information like this can be a tantalizing lead for a hostile intelligence service. They approach the person and say, if you work with us we won't expose this, and if you don't, we will. That's espionage 101.' archive.is/87A1u

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you. If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can. Everyone give this a share after.

Carnations and Ivy, pastel. I don't know if I've posted this already: I try not to repeat if I can help it.

JK Rowling is calling women athletes men even after they pass genetic testing. People in her replies are talking about these women having “ambiguous” genitalia. We are in an extremely frightening moment for ALL women thanks to transphobia.

Virginia: early voting for the redistricting amendment is happening now through April 18. Protect your voting power and help level the playing field ahead of the midterm elections by voting YES today or on Election Day, April 21.

My statement on the Senate passing DHS funding without another dollar for ICE

A related worry I have is that some number of these pets belong to people who live alone. If no one knows they are there and their person was taken, what happens to those pets? 😭

The article mentions Rolling River Rescue in New Orleans, Animal Rescue of New Orleans, Mercy Full Project in Tampa, and The Bond Between Us in Minneapolis. bsky.app/profile/srsl...

"Dems Prepare for Trump to Seize Ballots and Interfere in the Midterms" ‘Our highest risk in 2026 and potentially in 2028 is the federal government trying to disrupt and undermine our elections,’ says Colorado’s secretary of state.

A jury found both Meta and YouTube liable in a first-of-its-kind lawsuit that aimed to hold social media platforms responsible for harm to children using their services. https://to.pbs.org/4sFzduc

"In multiple scenarios, if Donald Trump were to invade and try to occupy Kharg Island for an extended period of time, American casualties would very likely be “considerable,”" reports @swin24.bsky.social for Zeteo's First Draft morning newsletter today. Read/share/subscribe:

When Trump talks about the enemy within, he’s talking about you. He doesn’t see America as one country with one destiny; he sees it as him vs anyone who stands in the way of endless power. That’s not who we are. e pluribus unum

The Washington Post won a Pulitzer Prize for public service in 2022 for its coverage of Jan. 6. Their entry's capstone was a mammoth feature titled "The Attack," featuring reporting by 26 journalists. By my count, 8 of them are still at the paper. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

I will continue to implore Maine Democrats to consider what a general election campaign will look like with phrases like ‘Nazi tattoo’ appearing in commercials on an hourly basis for 5 months straight. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Uh no...we definitely realize it.

“White added that ‘making the decision for these girls whether they will give birth to their rapist’s baby’ is ‘an extraordinary human rights problem.’ ‘Everyone attempts to write their politics on the bodies of these children,’ he said.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

UNEXPECTED: Federal judge holds that a person is entitled to habeas relief if they were arrested by masked ICE agents on 4A & DP grounds. More on this tomorrow. For now, just a link. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

A wonderfully detailed analysis of Bad Bunny's Superbowl Halftime show.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

How much you love your kid? That’s how much the mother in detention loves hers. How much the mother in Palestine loves hers. Just because you can’t imagine the unimaginable- their separation; death- doesn’t mean so many in the world are not enduring it.
