lol when a rich, powerful white man begs for higher taxes, you know that vibes are about to shift towards eating the rich:

Thirsty Thursday. And it’s not the exact same post workout mirror selfie as usual, which I personally use as a constant to check on what’s changing materially on my body at different parts of workout cycles.

A big bowl of chunky sweet potato soup 2 hours before a few hundred jump rope double-unders? At 43? What is the worst that could happen?

The amount of time I’m spending creating an Excel table from a CSV to make it formula friendly for automatic values lookup, instead of just looking them up myself manually, is obscene. This should be an automated message for how regularly I do this to myself. But also, I love systems.

"they don't know how to express the idea" here's rian johnson's storyboard for knives out pick up a pencil and a napkin

The Epstein files would like to know why we are supposed to think Venezuela stole “our” oil.

I’m not saying it’s unseasonably hot here, but I am back in a cropped tank top and shorts less than a week away from the Winter Solstice. It’s been 10–15° F above average this past week.

I was just looking up my chart to see whether Neptune and Lilith were conjunct this weekend’s New Moon (yes and no respectively), so I added in the asteroids for S&G, and my chart is such a mess with those in there. #astrology

Dear Bluesky hammer&sickle crowd: That new dude in your group? He’s an FBI agent.

Venus Day blessings, by which I mean here are my titties after a workout, plus I’m wearing seafoam green shorts.

Tomorrow (Saturday), I’ll be at the Glendale Civic Center for the Yule Witchcrafted Market with @witchcraftcocktail.bsky.social. We’ll be signing books / decks, offering discounts, and eager to chat witchy and tarot things. #witchsky

Did hot yoga again today. Didn’t want to die as much as before.

Do you have those phrases that just live in your head and are never situationally appropriate yet always offer to pop up? For me, it’s “I am! You try driving in platforms.” When am I going to use that gift from Clueless? Yet it’s always ready to pop out.

Fairly proud of my 1000m run times (4:30–4:35 before and after the rest of the workout, including stopping to tie my shoe on the first run). It’s not going to win any prizes. But in the context of a larger workout involving a very heavy sled? Not too shabby.

Damn. This proclaimed super genius has no imagination apparently.

Hot yoga in humidity at 105°–110° with no fans and minimal air flow, *almost* as hot as yoga in summer in India. I have never been so wet before without being under water. Maybe not even then. #broga with gym CrossFit bro. Maybe picture incoming 🤷🏼‍♂️

404 Media is making a print zine! About the surveillance technologies used by ICE. 16 pages, riso printed. Shipping early January. Features reworked versions of our best reporting and a few new things. We're very excited! And hope to do more if people like it: www.404media.co/404-media-is...

Shout out to parents because I don’t know how y’all do it.

Wish I knew someone who liked Battlestar Galactica as much as I do

Damn. Tarot is so mainstream it’s in the EXIT the Game advent calendar.

Pulled the plug on my annual Adobe Creative Suite subscription after 6 years and am just doing InDesign. Teachable will be next when that subscription runs out, except there’s nothing vital I use that can’t be easily replaced for less cost and with less AI bullshit.

I love the smell of sawdust. So many fond memories: from childhood in my dad’s wood shop in our basement next to the old lead-painted boiler through college and building sets, around and in and under which, making out may have occurred.

What in the dystopian dumbassery? www.404media.co/nuclear-rian...

Here’s my Spotify Wrapped 🎵✨

On Mars Days, we try to work out and often wear red, and sometimes thirst.

Take a moment to watch performance artist Guillaume Juncar. You won’t regret it.

Saw Wicked: For Good, and I understand why people think it’s not as fun. … It’s not the fun part of the story. Also, I’m weirded out that I thought JBai looked hottest in his final scene.

Knowing I don’t want to participate in Black Friday makes it so much less stressful to go about my day without worrying about some deal or sorting through a thousand emails

Want to discover how movement can help you use divination better? I am teaching my Choreomancy: Oracles in Motion class this Friday in Sacramento at Rock Mama’s - 3-5pm! Details at rockmama.com/collections/...

Oh my god. Level 12 and I just realized you can use lumina to gain benefits on unequipped pictos. Some of those fights would not have required parrying to survive …

idiot guy: i'm like the wolf i'm stalking my prey alone through the forest and being raw as fuck even if i'm in a group i'm the alpha actual wolf: i love my friends so much!!! i love to romp and kiss my bros and work together as a family <3 awooo etc etc have you seen the puppies oh my god come see

The way I keep running in circles without a map 😄😅😫

Getting into Expedition 33 again. I can now parry/dodge, like, 12% of the time ☠️

Venus Day blessings! Post workout shirtless mirror selfie to celebrate. I’ve been enjoying my French toast casserole and home baked bread this week, but still putting in the work at the gym. I was legit proud of my performance on today’s WOD! (After lifting and before compromised finisher)

Seriously considering giving up Adobe CC for the first time in … a lot of years. I mostly just use InDesign at this point, but I have used almost the whole CC suite in previous years. Who else has flipped the switch?

Some feelings worth repeating this evening.

(📢) What Trump did today was not a SHOULD impeach, it was a MUST impeach. He said anyone who challenges his authority—an authority he doesn’t have—to give illegal orders to the military must be executed. That is a prima facie case for impeachment. Articles should be drawn up.

Does @forbes.com have copy editors anymore? The last two posts that have shown up in my feed here both have obviously wrong spellings of homophones in their headlines. Is it all voice to text?

A tarot or oracle spread for the New Moon in Scorpio Spread: New Moon in Scorpio Rebuilding from the seeds of desire This season we have the New Moon in Scorpio (28º Scorpio 12') happening November 20, 2025 (1:47AM US Eastern Time). Where does that land in your chart? (Solid 4th House for me.)

Some of you never paid enough attention to professional wrestling and it shows. A surprising “face turn” always, always, ALWAYS ends back in a return to “heel”. This is of course a post about Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Before and after baking and then a big slice. (Went back in the oven for 10 minutes after tasting the delicious but eggy and wet slice.)

And now for French toast casserole. It’ll be interesting to see how this fluffy milk bread does instead of stale French bread. This is pre-egg+milk and overnight soak.

Made milk bread for the first time. Over floured the surface before second proving, but overall it looks good and smells amazing! We don’t usually eat bread in this house, so this is mostly for the ancestors. But I’ll have a slice or two at some point.

"Our actions are working, and they are not enough. Nothing we do is sufficient, and everything we do matters. We must be strategic, and we must operate on multiple fronts simultaneously. Time is of the essence, and we have to act for the long haul. This is how change happens." Dan Berger

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee. But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education. A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

NGL … the new show Plur1bus moves. When each of the first two episodes ended, I said, “That was an hour?!” I can’t tell you the last time I wasn’t very aware of how much time was passing while watching a show. I think I looked at my phone once for at most 30 seconds during it.

I really hope today is the day

Use a different search engine at minimum, and chip away at their chokehold

What if instead of Cyber Monday (aka Daddy Bezos Day), we did a Support Indie Media Monday? What are your favorite indie publications? Who are some of your favorite freelance and indie reporters and commentators? Can we make this a thing?
