Margaret Qualley is the perfect example of how being thin and wearing very little is not the same as being sexy. I feel even more "I don't get it?" than I did when Natalie Portman was cast in Closer. Sexy isn't a look, it's a vibe, and she just doesn't have it. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Partner has no drill this weekend due to the government shut down, and I don't have astrology class, which is a nice little surprise Saturday together after me being away last weekend

This portrait is such a perfect encapsulation of Artaud’s relationship to the Surrealists. A skeptical, grim look over the shoulder, back to Man Ray, who clearly finds him beautiful and glamorous.

NO ONE EXPECTS THE BOURBON RESTORATION

Accidentally exposed myself to AI imagery this morning and whoops, now I have that motion sickness headache it gives me

The first time I saw Jane Goodall I kept my distance so as not to frighten her and build trust over time.

"YouTube is testing a feature that makes your lives actively worse" sure is a thing that happens now with alarming frequency.

One way to cut down on social media posts that are like "so you hate waffles" would be to ban matt yglesias and jesse singal

Congratulations to all the new bag holders. You’re about to experience something few people have since Enron.

"Fascism itself, the mystery of its appearance and of its collective energy, with which no interpretation has been able to come to grips (neither the Marxist one of political manipulation by dominant classes, nor the Reichian one of the sexual repression of the masses,..." - Simulacra and Simulation

A thing that genuinely makes me angry is Europeans who don’t tip when they visit America even though they know about tips in America and then are just like “oh well we don’t have a tipping culture because we pay our servers so well” First- do you?? And Second- rude and exploitative

Petition to change Spooky Season from October to Scorpio season It's too hot and bright at the moment to be spooky

11 more days until I'm out of this 6H profection month where my ruler of the year Saturn lives I can't wait to stop being achy and overworked 😩🙌

breakfast is the most forehead kiss meal of the day

IT IS NEARLY UPON US

Just got an email from a Dem elected official raising money with the subject line "Most people aren't opening emails." Will this result in them reflecting on how the unsustainable panicky email strategy of the last 15 years has met its logical end, or nah?

There’s something to be set for a “five pillars” model as well: ascendant ruler, sun, moon, and benefic and malefic of sect: your bodily fate, your soul, your spirit, and the good and bad you’re destined to do in the world.

I think they need to do a study on people who have a visceral, nauseated reaction to AI generated imagery. I can tell immediately when I see it, even ones people swear up and down are "great"-- be it "photorealistic" (it never is) or "artistic" (see previous statement) Like, what's with our brains?

Tepid take: your "Big Three" should be your rising plus your ascendant ruler and sect light, not your Sun and Moon

TW: Racist violence The nervous system spiking text message strategy of the Dem party and adjacent orgs has been a bugbear of mine for awhile, but this weekend I received one w/ an unsolicited photo of an enslaved person's WHIPPING SCARS from a PAC I'd never heard of or donated to. This HAS to stop

Tom Brady has a catering gig after the game

reading 70% of social media posts in a cartoon voice is cognitive opsec btw bc why are you reading the hot takes of some guy suffering from a case of for profit, kayfabe induced psychosis in your mind as if it was your own voice?

Reviews and ratings of matcha lattes I have had while on this visit to New York, a thread

taking 800mg of acetaminophen so I can design my simcity public transportation better

"How can we find the Joe Rogan of the left?" is the wrong question. "How do we get all these dudes to some punk rock shows?" is the right one.

rollback to when it was invite only

Ezra Klein can write all the op-eds he wants. 🔥The Moms 🔥 are Organizing.🔥

I have to assume this means he keeps everything hidden behind fabric and just thrusts wildly as she runs past.

okay a lot of things are happening but have you ever seen a law that's this adorable: legislature.maine.gov/ros/LawsOfMa...

This Mars in Scorpio, I want you to never allow someone who doesn’t like you tell you that you have disappointed them.

Hello, New York, I am in you for the first time since I left last year

hey so I’m only, uh, 27 subscribers away from hitting 1000 on youtube (which is a big deal over there! it means I can actually get paid for putting things into the world!) so if you’re NOT subscribed, this is your friendly reminder that it really helps me out if you are <3

I am begging people to just talk to one another or adopt an animal instead of spending $495 on a ball of faux fur (And please don't start with the "You must hate disabled people who can't make friends or have a pet", y'all can infer I'm not saying that, go down regulate your nervous system please)

Which is to say: Threads talk is the astrology podcast website was hacked so don’t go on it right now k love u bye

I love talking about how there is something deeply wrong with people with that much money because it indicates something inherently pathological about them and their drive to hoard stuff and acquire as much power as possible, directly requiring the harm and exploitation of literally everyone else.

Folklore has it then when harvesting hips from the hedge, you should always leave some for the birds and some for the Faeries. A wise witch never wants to anger either group and so I'm happy to obey the lore of the land. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky

US Park Police Remove Statue of Donald Trump and Jeffery Epstein this morning

There is always some version of this fucking guy in activist women’s replies claiming to be a leftist but you can at least block this one I guess.

To the mods at @support.bsky.team who delete accounts at random, I implore you to talk to a Palestinian. Meet just one person. Get to know them. They are just people scared for their loved ones, and trying to scrape joy from a world where it's in ever more scarce supply.

Every day, I pray for a world where everyone is kind and respectful of each other, regardless of gender. May unreasonable attacks against transgender people end🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 May today be filled with happiness and love for you all🤍

I love that we have finally gotten to the Equinox, because I prefer to say my Orphic Hymns at the start of the day, rather than hope I have no meetings in the afternoon, and I definitely want to be clean and showered before I petition the planets (it's just polite!)

Tempting fate by layering on Antares on Mars's day

Poetic ironies of me moving home to Tennessee after 2 decades in New York and swearing off dating men ever again: I meet a man from NY in my actual building and fall in love with him Said New York born and raised man introduces me, a TN native, to more good country music than I knew existed

Holy shit, I am LOVING Tuesday with Mars in Scorpio

John of Gaunt's speech in Act 2, Scene 1 of Richard II, I'm sorry, it's perfect
