1. If an ICE agent has PTSD he shouldn't be on active duty with a gun. 2. He only got dragged by the car because he punched in someone's rear window and the terrified dude fled. He's a murderer. Period.

I don't know which way round is funnier 😆

The Minneapolis pastor had observed "ICE agents circling a young woman who appeared to be Hispanic" and insisted they take him instead of harassing her. An agent then “came, got in my face, pointed a gun at me, and said, ‘Are you afraid now?’” trib.al/k06XIZQ

Things are really bad still, so here's an emotion US #KindleBookGiveaway: 10 copies of @naominovik.bsky.social's fabulous book A Deadly Education (The Scholomance Book 1), which I bought on my birthday, because it went on good sale. Happy birthday to me! This is *very good*.

Timeline cleanser for word nerds: The first 3 letters of Sweden and Denmark spell out Sweden. The remaining letters spell out Denmark.

Ice is the Gestapo. Trump is insane. Elon’s Grok is publishing child porn. Stephen Miller is a white supremacist. JD Vance is making shit up. Somebody release the Epstein Files.

Do you k now the story of Mister Smitten? bsky.app/profile/edst...

I said I would do at least one lady bird this month for #birbfest and this lovely Andean cock-of-the-rock (although that is an objectively funny name) was a great candidate for that. The male of the species is ridiculously showy but the ladies have quite a look all their own. #BirbFest 2026

I have procured rotisserie chicken and our precious princess is snacking again.

I deactivated my Twitter but I did screencap my 2020 Fred Hampton thread to the Tumblr I never use, and the post has some links to my research sources! www.tumblr.com/clairewillet...

Servers, cooks, clerks - ICE is coming to your town. Leave no drink unspit in, no food item undefiled. They're putting your coworkers in camps and murdering people in the streets. Thank you for your service.

Canadian Conservative politicians when Trump invades Venezuela: 🥳👏🏻🥵 Canadian Conservative politicians when Trump invading Venezuela has terrible ramifications literally everyone else saw coming: 😱😯😡

RELEASE THE FENNECS!

It has been not even one week since large sections of the Anglosphere commentariat pretended to be stunned and bemused by Mamdani's "those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty" line and yet we've had at least once incident a day demonstrating it

love to be a libertarian whose response to the summary execution of an american citizen is “you shouldn’t say bad words”

🧵Spotted at the beach in Aotearoa New Zealand: A very content looking man (40s?) is reclining in an orange inflatable dingy on the sand. Reading a paperback novel. Sailing on a sea of chill. (1)

A woman (30s?) is taking a tiny new human for her first ever dip in the ocean. Mum walks into the water, wading out carefully. Maybe a bit further. Talking softly to Tiny New Human who's looking around fascinated... And then a gentle DIP! Ah! What was that?! Was that fun? Let's do it again! (4)

A tiny human (1?) is huff chortling as she crawls towards Grandad who is sleeping on his towel. It takes a bit but she reaches him and wakes him with a VERY LOUD and wet raspberry on his bare tummy. Belly laughs booming over the beach. (3)

a simple joy 🪴

Timeline cleanse: throwback to the summer of '24 when Fiasco met my frond @katelechler.bsky.social and was immediately like "TIME 4 GROOM NEW FRIEND DIS IS PROSOCIAL BEHAVUR"

Bravest motherfuckers you've ever seen. They just saw a neighbor get murdered and still out there. Maybe let's see some local officials with the power to arrest show as much backbone as these voters PAYING YOUR FUCKING SALARY

I keep thinking I'm not being very productive in the studio right now but then I reminded myself I'm in the studio & the world is on fire so maybe just showing up is good enough right now.

Something to look at. It’s what I have, to share, rn. #ThereIsStillBeauty

Things are bad, so US #KindleBookGiveaway: 10 copies of Terry Pratchett's Lords&Ladies, which was the 2nd DW book I read that I liked (and, as with Small Gods, I *loved* it). You can read it cold. It doesn't tie into current events, really, other than a lot of asskicking. #GNUTerryPratchett

I can’t stress this enough to foreign friends: don’t come to the US now. Whatever rights we boast of having, those are off the table. Masked goons kidnap and kill people. However bad you think it is from the news, it’s worse and falling fast. You don’t want to sightsee in a falling empire.

remains striking the extent to which trump quite loudly does not see himself as president of the united states and more as a clan leader for his supporters

For years I would constantly tweet and tweet and retweet about politics. I didn’t help a single person doing that. It just eroded my mental health a little every day. I promise that actually DOING something, even one small thing, feels a lot better than reposting a million memes.

everyone should be mad as hell and getting madder by the nanosecond, and our politicians/ostensible leaders ought to be leading the charge - yes, at their own personal risk, *that's what we elected them for* and if they don't want to do it, they should move over for someone who *will*

Not a thought to be found beyond BELLY.

hey everyone now is once again a good time to turn autoplay off for videos

ICE just murdered a woman here in Minneapolis. A legal observer. Shot her multiple times while she drove away as ordered. She was a US citizen. Absolute, unequivocal, cold-blooded murder by Trump’s gestapo. Abolish ICE, jail for everyone in charge. This is the lowest bar we accept now.

I am pleased to announce that I have commandeered my neighbor's home. This home will be sold at its Market Price, and that money will be controlled by me, to ensure it is used to benefit my neighbor and me! Thank you for your attention to this matter!

On one hand I’m worried about the snacks cabinet and on the other hand I’m worried about WW3. I don’t even have hands

KILLJOYS. Killjooooooooys

I gave myself hiccups from laughter

UPS Guy: Got a package for you....it's Legos Me: Oh great UPS Guy: Did they come out with a bunch of new sets or something? Me: Yes, on January 1st. UPS Guy: That would explain all the other Lego deliveries I have made. I'll have to check it out.

Friendly reminder: Greenland is actually Indigenous territory, not "other white people".

When I was 23, I saw a bunch of really cute velvet furniture on the side of the road, totally nice. Took it in and a year later a friend’s new gf came to my house and it turns out I’d stolen her entire living room while she was moving.

So someone asked me to retell the story of the old lady that told me about killing her husband. Are we ready for a trip back in time to 1999? Some of you already know this story, but if you don't it is a wild ride. Apply all appropriate trigger warnings!

*extreme discourse-starting voice* Writing letters and postcards to your friends is nice

I realize this is extremely obvious, but when Stephen Miller says "the US will be the leader of the free world" he means "the world enslaved to us" and nothing else. You can be for a free world, or you can be for a world that serves US interests.

When you try to get Mochi off the sofa, he pulls the limp protester move. It's pretty adorable.

PSA: if you get an email out of the blue that is supposedly from me, offering to help you with marketing or other publisher services, or asking for money, it is not me, it is a scammer. This is a very common scam now, one of the many scams aimed at aspiring and new writers.

I feel like I need to get the big hunk of meat and try to cut it up this week to save bluesky. I'll do it for the people.

The headline says "A third of Americans support US strike on Venezuela, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds." I would like to point out, for those deficient in math, that this means two-thirds of Americans (i.e., the MAJORITY) do NOT support what the US is doing.

You know. I could actually do without the holidays being f it meant that the massive crash afterwards could also be avoided.

At the end, he says, “bless you my friend, and what is your dog’s name? I want to pray for your dog.”

I can’t remember if I posted this story before, but our dog Saoirse has saved two peoples lives.
