I took a hard look at the financial donors to ICE’s biggest supporters in Congress. These are people who want to significantly expand ICE’s power and have sponsored or co-sponsored legislation to do so. Here are the top 25 consumer brands bankrolling the biggest ICE supporters in Congress:

A little evening sketch of Storm from X-Men #243 Havoc’s outfit is even more distressed, and I’m not mad about it. They both get real mad. They were my favorites in this era.

In honor of Mercury retrograde in Cancer, I posted one of my old college poems for my patrons on Patreon. Digital tech storage throwback + a slightly cringey emotional communication is very astrologically apt for the transit. And yeah it’s at the $1/month tier. Cringe doesn’t come for free.

I opened an old SeaGate of mine, and I was so delighted to find some unexpected things, like my college poetry portfolio and high school one-act plays I’d written. There was my old painting portfolio too. Even concept art for an epic story planned by @innersunalchemy.bsky.social

I am once again begging Hollywood to stop using the Greek alphabet for an Ancient World movie, if they can't afford to even throw a couple of quid at anyone with an inkling of the language. Unless they really think audiences are dying to see THS THDPSSSSPS

I love the overlapping circles in the Venn diagram of my pop culture interests that is “Death on the Lanai”. Now hopefully the book itself is good.

Happy New Moon in Cancer! This year we have the New Moon in Cancer (21º Cancer 59') happening July 14 at 5:43 US EDT. Here’s my spread for it: “Making space for what the soul needs” Questions in image alt text. It and others on the blog: www.hermitsmirror.com/musings

remember, be careful what you post on a day like this. If you do it right, you can get illegally fired for being disrespectful to Lindsay Graham and then win a massive lawsuit about 10 months from now and retire with 2 million in your pocket

I love with someone terrible dies and the mood online is welcome to jazz brunch

I’m finally putting my cyberdeck together. And it’s fun to realize what you need. It’s fun to realize the OS image you flashed onto a microSD card is corrupted because you had to use an adapter card with an old adapter port. So now I need-get to find a microSD port that will plug into my laptop.

Every month I share important dates for spirit work and entrepreneurs to give you the edge in living a purpose-filled life. If you want more, be sure to check out my newsletter: innersunalchemy.activehosted.com/f/1 #hiddenknowledge #insidertips #abundancementality

My self-care last night after a stressful work day and a very heavy workout was to watch a Welsh woman paint a cozy cottage with a wild front yard of grass and flowers. Watercolors, step by step, for 30 minutes. So soothing

I think the fact that it’s not Wario and Wauigi was a miss. Wauigi??? Such a cute little menace of a guy, he would’ve been.

I used to love Big Brother. I stopped watching Big Brother after Angela wasn’t immediately voted off. The tolerance people have for terrible people is why MAGA exists. So of course trash-run CBS is bringing her back as a surprise cast member for this season. So many things are so stupid.

Replaying this Portlandia moment in my mind everyday until it drops back below 105°

There should be a maximum age for political representatives, as there is a minimum. But add a fun twist! Max age at election = [life expectancy of the rep. population at time of election] - [length of term] Let lobbyists incentivize extending lifespan if they have to exist.

I woke up in such a foul mood for no reason, realized it was mid Cancer season, checked, and yes, Sun is directly on top of North Node. The Mitch McConnell memes are making me laugh though.

My current mental audio loop from Parks & Recreation? “Sugar comes from a bush!” So many funny lines in that show.

Made progress on the puzzle (and the bookshelf/office nook, but no photo there) And yes, I’m doing the puzzle upside-down because I was too lazy to move things around on the dining room table

Hoppers was very cute

I needed a break from unpacking and building furniture. I need to figure out lighting for my nook

"What happens when the insurgent meets up with the power that wipes the map clean? When the blind follower collides with a consciously undesired disruption? When naïveté catches up with chaos? When our trust intersects with a tremendous release of energy?" image: @hermitsmirror.bsky.social

So the idea I had for a brat + tamer/enabler is slow to write. It’s a visual/responsive back-and-forth that may detract from the sexiness of it as much as build tension. I got through about 1200 words. We’ll see if I continue it to its climax and resolution on another day. #kinktober2026

I totally forgot how many cut scenes there are in FFX … I hope I’ve finally gotten to the turning point where they calm the f down.

when it zoomed out I gasped

Part of me wants to do a July writing kinktober. I know it’s July and not October. But the astrology is so good for fun writing.

I’m eating delicious pizza after eating the most delicious bread at Falora, and Catatonia’s “Mulder & Scully” comes on, followed by “Boys & Girls” by Blur, all in a midcentury modern setting? Heavenly.

My favorite moment in the once-closed environment of Biosphere 2 was looking up and seeing the light through trees. What a project! It felt so magical and like good science fiction as opposed to most of the rest of the current world’s bad science fiction.

My love of Dexter and problematic gay smut is really enjoying the Necessary Evils series by @onleyjames.bsky.social 😂

SpaceX shares have now officially crashed below their $150 IPO launch price

We're in the midst of this galactic energy dispensation and I don't know about you, but it feels incredible ✨️ And for the entrepreneurs, what benefits are you seeing for your business right now? ✅️

I just discovered the new bop I liked is by Rebecca Black, and I’m so disappointed in myself. I’m sure the music producer is someone I like, but still …

Goodbye latest discovered eye tree by my old apartment. Don’t cry. We’ll connect again via roots or something.

I would normally feel bad about destroying books and throwing them out, especially first printing hardcovers, but Jake Hay Rowling is not bringing nasty TERF energy into my new space, and I don’t want anyone else coming to love a series only to hate its creator.

My dog is so curious why we walked all the way to my car parked a street away and then back up to the apartment before turning around and going right back to the car. And the answer is that I don’t yet have “the place” in the new apartment for my keys.

If you’re reading a book by or featuring Elias Thorne, no you’re not.

New: Flock exposed the license plate cops were searching for in its system and the reason for doing so. The URLs of these lookups were then cached in search engines like DuckDuckGo and Bing, meaning anyone could see them www.404media.co/flock-leaked...

Went to my first D-Backs game—great game—and my boo was so confused I knew what all was happening since I haven’t been to a baseball game in almost 25 years. A) I play kickball now, so there is some overlap. and B) I love a rules system in games.

Perfection may be the enemy of the good, but so is mediocre.

While packing things up, I came upon the stack of magazines I’ve been saving for … I don’t know, a mod podge mosaic like I used to make in the early aughts? They’re coming with me.

I struggle to believe that Colt from Single Life is a real person and not part of an in-show parody. I don’t even watch the show, but his useless man baby essence is that strong a character choice …

I’m listening to the first Hardy Boys book as an audiobook, and I understand now why editors hate frequent adverbs and a panoply of dialogue tags.

As part of the Conjuring Power art show at YBCA, Tina is hosting Drag For Your Life tomorrow night with a bunch of drag kings and queens that I love. Hope you can come by.

I’m moving, so I’m rehoming some used tarot, oracle, etc decks that I don’t anticipate using anymore. I’m effectively giving random decks away for free and just charging for shipping them. US: It’ll be $12 for one deck because shipping is gonzo now. But two decks would be $18 and three at $22.

my June offering is up... Temperance, the both/+: "Everything is so beautiful, + everything is so sad. My life is magical adventure, + my griefs are heavy. I'm so grateful for everything I have, + the unknown shape of the future scares me." image from Life Line Tarot by @hermitsmirror.bsky.social

Kickball championship winning legs (okay, we were C division, but we still earned it) I’m in the Exorcist puke colored hat

I genuinely do hope they all get cancer

Of course the man who gave us Yoda, Miss Piggy, and more would be a Gemini. Creative geniuses and madfolx
