Since my "backyard" is a hellscape with clay about three inches down, I made myself a bed for a "lawn."

Very glad I got our passports last year. Just crossing my fingers this gets solved in '28 so I can actually get kiddo a new one when it's time.

I need a hammer.

This. Exactly this.

there are few things in life that feel more transcendent and connected to the infinite than when collaborators hit friction but then stand on EACH OTHERS SHOULDERS to stretch beyond their own reach. to peer over the wall of the physical realm and see farther together. utter beauty

Just a reminder, that on top of, or really foundationally to, everything else, AI is racist as fuck.

So, @edzitron.com ate his Wheatties this morning

It’s dangerous to go alone! Take this. Photo from my collection, 1949.

Genuinely asking for contacts: angel or real estate investors interested in commercial property in Southern Oregon with the opportunity to build what you want, and support local business/community - specifically food access in the immediate, and so many possibilities for the future.

Saw someone trying to say that TS is a "good" billionaire, and definitely cares, and this person is SURE that when TS is not so busy, she'll, like, REALLY give back. Farmers out here losing their land, which means we lose our food, but sure, defend billionaires. Sure.

In more news that the parties are the same, the Dem candidate for our state representative who's campaign manager just got outed as a predator is in the lead. Thanks Ass-land.

Cost of living so high but it’s still free to hold my hand

It’s not funny that the most terrorizing race in all of history thinks the are superior but they are only half right. The are superior evil doers. So many examples but remember this one on this Memorial Day.

They just took out dedicated bike lanes in the nearest major city to me, against the wishes of the businesses, in the name of "restoring retail traffic." Even though the businesses TOLD the city council sales were better with the bike lanes.

Plato tells us that there is but one Jason Statham movie, which we perceive as many due to our inability to access true knowledge in the realm of the forms

And requiring 5 times the power and water supplied to surrounding counties.

I really want to understand why a police officer in my small town that has basically zero crime, definitely no violent crime (ya!), makes $125k per year. This isn't an anti-cop question (though ACAB for sure), but a budget justification question. How have we become such a carceral state?

It's so funny to me when I like ONE band (or maybe two) in a genre. Not a fan of hardcore, but I LOVE Boysetsfire. Not really into metal, but Lamb of God and Alien Weaponry are 🔥🔥🔥.

The expulsion of 750,000 Palestinians from their homes 78 years ago was not the beginning of the Nakba — Jewish and British militias began bombing and burning Palestinian villages in earnest in 1936 — but it was one of the most brutal. 78 years ago, the Nakba continues.

I am in a perpetual state of "trying to clean my room/house/yard."

Update on my emergency kit idea from awhile back: Doctor was not able to prescribe EpiPen because kiddo does not require it, but we DID get Narcan, and the doctor even said it was a good idea. 😊

There is a dude that is still trying to talk to me 14 years after I made it clear that I do not want to talk to him. Resilience or psychosis or personality disorder?

I love my kid, but I cannot recommend them.

Pero, why?

Subtext

I'm trying to figure out crowdfunding that doesn't utilize predatory platforms or a transaction model, that is more legit than "rent party" style events, and that gets people invested in their community both financially and emotionally. ~sigh~ I'm an idea person. Fuck capitalism.

I have a 24" TV in my room. If I don't have external speakers plugged in, there's a very tinny, underwatery quality to the sound. The sound is better when I have external speakers plugged in, except for a crackle when there isn't constant sound.

Fuck yeah super coyote!!!

Y'all, Younger people NEED to get involved in rural politics. Please.

I will say it every time it comes up: I love my child to the ends of the universe, and to me she is perfect, but I am not at all in denial that she is regularly a big ole turd. Lol. #teenagers

You can literally be a scam for-profit college that rips people off with a fake degree and the Department of Education will do nothing. But if you are a legitimate school and admit trans women — you will be investigated.

Some words take us back immediately. Dallas. Columbine. Sandy Hook. And, Kent State, which happened 56 years ago today. We remember "Four dead in Ohio," but let us also remember their names... Allison B. Krause, 19. William Knox Schroeder, 19. Sandra Lee Scheuer, 20. Jeffrey Glenn Miller, age 20.

Lesson for you kids out there: If you deliver whiteness and lower taxes on the super wealthy, you can literally do whatever you want.

Domestic violence is a threat to the public. Victims are members of the public. We have to stop saying things like this. These statements insinuate that the incident is over and there’s nothing else to be done about it. There are absolutely things we need to do about it. 1/ (📷: @bostonglobe.com)

It’s May Day. May we celebrate the May Queen who chose the bear.

This is your reminder that medication for women who want to control their own bodies can be restricted, but there are no such restrictions for medication meant for men.

A breeding storm may delay my Beltane plans.

My plan worked! I'll be transplanting these babies tomorrow.

#Seattle peeps - I need recs for cafes, comic, game, craft, and book stores, bonus points for queer/sensory friendly, double points for cats.

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WORKERS DAY

We put together a class war reading list because *gestures around*

You want to know why some of y’all get side-eyed?! We are standing at the edge of the greatest rollback of Black voting and political power in over 150 years. Not abstract. Not theoretical. Real. Black representation across the South is on the chopping block.
