Another year, another successful CUFA conference! Manifesting a couple publications for the coming year 🙏🏽. Thank you, Washington, DC

@thewaroncars.bsky.social picked this up at bookpeople. Won’t be there for the signing but thankful this movement is coming to my beautiful ATX 🥲 Enjoy the bbq and the metro red line!

Not sure why it’s just hitting me that the year 2000 was almost 30 years ago. Anyway here’s a building in downtown ATX with an incredible amount of detail shadowed by a lifeless glass monstrosity

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

LAPD on horses charge at and beat guests standing in line to the Short Stop in Echo Park. @shoton35mm.bsky.social

I have written and deleted a lot of posts but I keep thinking about how the brutal assassination of Minnesota State senator Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their beloved dog Gilbert in June did not prompt this same level of calls for empathy, sympathy, and flags at half-mast.

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

Jingles play a giant role in my childhood memories and I’m not sure if I’m cool with that or not. Not that young Pedro was scheming for a capitalist hegemony or anything but YOU listen to the schlitterbahn or furniture factory warehouse or o’reilly’s songs and tell me that shit ain’t catchy

Watching Manchester United and Austin fc has been fucking miserable for a while now

Mark Penn, the former Clinton-era Dem pollster now helping Cuomo, has advised Trump on how to beat Mamdani. And Trump has also talked to Cuomo directly: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/06/n...

After avoiding it during the primary, Andrew Cuomo finally went on the Brian Lehrer Show last week — and lied about his record. The truth is that universal pre-K was won despite the disgraced ex-Governor, not because of him.

Don’t stay up crying till midnight looking at pictures of your kid as an infant challenge (I lose every fucking time)

We need more pocket parks in this city, man

Went to a toddler rave yesterday morning at a food truck park and while there was a lot to focus on, I mostly noticed how every parent there was our age or close to it. I thought “oh ok, I guess I’m there now”

Say it with us now…

people smiling at #Texans suffering and dying for political reasons are NO DIFFERENT than trump and his band of nazis. You’re just like them in every way, with a nice fake liberal bow wrapped around your sociopathic heads

I am halfway through City of Quartz and it’s incredible to note the similarities between 1992 and 2025. Mike Davis could’ve written this last year

For the first time in a long time, a commercial made me laugh

How long have people been struggling against the perils of fascism and the threat of authoritarianism? What lessons have we learned from their horrible deeds? Only to invite them into our homes with open arms? I’m here to fight and I always will be. But goddamn I’m disappointed in so many people.

Weeeeell it’s floooodin down in Texaaaas…ALL of the robocars are downnn 🎸

The next potential mayor of nyc is a guy who is the same age and color as me!! What a time to be alive

Old men, with one foot in the grave, planting seeds of hate for future generations of children to suffer through

I think we can learn a lot about society by taking the bus. I’ve been taking public transit for about 8 years now in Austin and there’s nothing like it. Lots of propaganda about the city and its faults blah blah. But sit in a bus everyday for a few years and you’ll see it all

Can’t believe the trump-loving Disney/ABC conglomerate let the writers of Andor get away with all that. Incredibly relevant and well-written show. Also gets at how demoralizing (and depressing) it can be to resist sometimes

I miss my youth. When I had less worries and no goddamn HOA

Well it happened. I don’t find joy in driving anymore. At least in the modern sense. I hate my car. I hate being in my car. I hate being around other cars. Every second costs me money and every dollar spent still decreases its value. My happiest moments on the road have been on a bike. I’ve had it!!

Either nobody is hiring right now or my worst fear has come true: I am both over and under qualified for a lot of the jobs I’m trying to apply for. Bro I’m just trying to pay my bills 😩😩

I ask myself why keep stressing out over the struggle and then I see a hummingbird zooming in front of me, gathering nectar from the flowers and I’m like oh right, this planet is pretty cool and I gotta do my part to save it from capitalist greed

The first two Godfather movies are ridiculously good. The acting, the camera work, the writing, the lighting, the editing, the music. All of it - masterpieces. Still haven’t watched the third one cause I don’t wanna sour the experience

Just remembered. I Drove by town lake, and the hike&bike trail this past Saturday, and the whole place was buzzing. People jogging, running, biking, walking, laughing, talking - families, groups, pairs, individual people vibing. It was beautiful. Public spaces, man. Public spaces

Do kiddos still go to the boys and girls club in the summer? Those experiences built me as a kid. Do or die, lord of the flies, microcosm of local society type of experience

Now more than ever it’s important to stand for and support our LGBTQIA+ friends in Texas www.texasobserver.org/texas-lege-2...

Happy pride month! Much love, respect, and care towards the LGBTQIA+ community that has always welcomed me with open arms 💚🖤💕🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🫶🏽 And guess what? We get to do it all over again in August, too! Cause Austin is amazing!

I got now 6 as my first communion gift. And that’s the most I got out of my sojourn into Catholicism.

Should’ve known it was gonna be a draw. We don’t know how to win

Well. There is SOMETHING going around that knocked me the hell out since Sunday. Stay healthy, y’all

I think I finally get why I’m a heavy sleeper. My bedroom as a kid had a giant window facing our neighbors who were MASSIVE alcoholics. You could hear EVERYTHING. From the dad down to the youngest, the wives, the grandchildren. Drinking and partying till 3/4 in the morning. But I slept like a baby 🍼

Day ?? of questioning why people close to me would ever vote for the orange ghoul. Seriously, I want to get to the bottom of it. Show them this horrible world that people like him want for people like us, and ask, “is this what YOU fucking wanted?” Trouble is, I know the answer: “idk 🤷” Imbeciles.

A scholastic book fair is happening around the corner from us and I thought to myself “fuck! They should have these for adults!” <<Bookstore>> “oh right.” I think what I meant is I want more pomp and circumstance when I buy my literature, ya know? God I can’t wait for the Texas book festival

my vet, who's hard of hearing: can you repeat your cat's name me:

Not to be dramatic, but I had literal tears in my eyes after the 2nd and 3rd goals. This club needs to believe in itself as much as the supporters do

Waiting over 20 years for the World Cup to come back to the states, only for a gaggle of gonads to be in charge of the country seems like an insanely cruel punishment for those of us who just want to enjoy the world’s best event in our backyard

I’m here watching Spiderman 2 (2004) and I’m wondering..the characters are sposed to be 20ish…why the hell is Harry Osborn running a multi-billion dollar organization like Oscorp? Cause his dad ran it? The board of directors was apparently murdered in part 1. So who the hell…

I’m extremely bitter rn. Even if we win the next few matches, we’re in such a deep hole that it ain’t gonna do shit for me, personally

We have a president who uses “girl math” jfc

One of these days we’ll be a decent club. I will be long gone. But for sure, one of these days

Walton Goggins’ next move should be as a villain in the next Far Cry game

Happy May Day! I’m a proud educator and hope to continue the fight for justice, dignity, and equality for ALL until my time here is done. To quote K-Dot: “somebody gotta do it” 🤷🏽‍♂️💚

I’ve seen brilliant minds corrupted by this new era of hate. Beautiful, empathetic people. People I call family. People I call friends. Not in the past, now. Maybe I’m stuck in the past. People say “get over it! Let them be!” I can’t. I can’t help but wonder what the fuck happened. Why? Just why
