Why is it the consensus a year out from an election in which the Supreme Court is actively dismantling what’s left of the VRA that no matter what happens or what they’re doing we will *still* accept their legitimacy? Even if they’re pushing people into camps? Even then resistance is unthinkable?!

1) Yes. Good. 2) Watch how fast we start passing bills to change the IRS's power.

You let one Nazi in, and you are a Nazi space. That's just a fact and always has been. I recall it from punk clubs. Nazi tolerance must be zero.

We really can't have nice things.

I was waiting at the vet last week and an older couple came in to pick up their cat from boarding. Very typical retired Vermonters - worn jeans, plaid shirts, LL Bean fleece vests. I would've guessed they were there for a Max, Luna, Toby, Bella, Oliver, etc., but no. They were there for SHADOW LORD.

HOW ARE THEY STILL FUNCTIONAL HUMANS?

And full of the screechings of tormented souls, or at least woodwinds.

Remember that time Trump sent us all a text message and they didn't say shit?

Uh oh. Oh, dear. I just found out what time it is. It's a bit into a new school year. Far enough that children are learning all manner of new skills... It's RECORDER season!

Obama on Bluesky yet?

Get* omg.

Hey. Y'all. Look at all, rebuilding our communities here, human by human, refinding friends and making new ones, out of the ashes. Resilience. Not collapse. We rebuild better. Been this way since forever. Have faith. A little. As a treat.

Sorry, friends, but I have to ask for a little help. I've been unable to do my gig work for over a month, as I've been trying to recover from the IBS/colonoscopy/moving flare. I need to pay my phone bill and put some gas in my car. $50 would do it. Thank you! @yfsusan (Pp) @susan-york-53 (V*nmo)

Fascists: American cowboys are a proud white tradition! Imma wear my cowboy hat backwards at the border to show my white power! Archaeological data:

my body is a not a temple, it's an old idiosyncratic long-term lease with a landlord who refuses to pay for any repairs even if the problems were pre-existing

We really don't revolt enough. As a species.

It was my confidant as I raised a child alone, my introduction to friends and collaborators, ideas, food, and places. It also drove me dopamine-junkie mean and volatile. Bye bye, birdie.

A whole lot of amazing theatre people were there, discussing making shows and seeing shows and how everything worked. I wanted to see the shows, make the shows, talk to the amazing people. And I did! Even worked with some of them. Heck, made a show I sourced from Twitter with some.

Then I got caught up in translating Greek accounts who were giving a very different version of what was happening in street protests than I saw in the newspapers.

Deactivated my account on what used to be #Twitter last night. I first joined in 2008, because it seemed like an interesting place to source text for performance.

@krisstraub.com The new horror is deep time. Think seriously about what a million years means. What a billion years would/could do to a human soul. The nightmare vacuum of a trillion years of silence. Proton decay era, black hole evaporation era. The Pale Blue Dot, but time
