Shabbat shalom and good riddance to another flaming trash can of a week. I will be in the blanket fort with the new Simone St James novel and a bowl of pierogis.

Perhaps you need a cormorant? #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

Puddles and power lines for Friday #scapes #photography #EastCoastKin

Perhaps you need to look at a plethora of barnacles? #macro #photography #EastCoastKin

the overseer of project 2025 is telling you out loud that every inch you cede on trans rights is part of the plan to create a white christian fascist state

Since today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #CollectingFood, here is a vulture eating lunch out of a dumpster. #birds

The same people who told you we needed to build training centers all over the country to stop shoplifting and college protests are telling you sex trafficking kids to billionaires is drawing outsized attention

Happy #MacroMonday #macro #photography #EastCoastKin

Only a handful more weeks until spring #StunDay #EastCoastKin #macro #photography

Lrs: I've kinda been waiting on that tbh. AI is low key a massive surveillance project. So yeah if you tell Caude, no shit whatever you said isn't priviledged any longer. But I want to jump off that and explain HIPAA like you're 5, cuz I think a lot of people are missing details to their detriment.

If you don't want folks to feel alone against overwhelming fascism mask up when you leave the house to let us know we arent.

Had to bribe him with catnip but the Floofkitten curled up on my feet. #cats

Everyone’s talking about Swarovski right now so let’s take a second and dive into the fact that they were NAZI Nazis. Like full-on Seig Heil, prosecuted after the war level Nazis and the modern company has done everything they can to hide all their archives and prevent anyone accessing them.

Shabbat shalom. It’s time for spearmint tea and blanket fort, possibly Murder She Wrote.

Happy #Scape day! Here is a snowy abandoned factory. #EastCoastKin #photography

there's a lot of reason to doubt him! 1. the Nazi tattoo! 2. keeping the Nazi tattoo! 3. lying about the Nazi tattoo! 4. only covering up the Nazi tattoo after backlash! 5. he's written racist and misogynist things on the Internet! 6. HE'S SEEKING MORE POWER & HAS EVERY INCENTIVE TO LIE

The SAVE Act has passed the House, making it harder for 69 million American women to vote. This isn’t about voter fraud or undocumented immigrants. This is about suppressing the female vote. They want to repeal the 19th and this is a step in that direction.

Here’s a a chickadee with a winged creature in its beak for today’s #BirdOfTheDay #Birds&Bugs #birds #EastCoastKin

Are we, globally, running out of potable drinking water? Yes? Then I don’t feel very much like having a “reasonable discussion” about the plagiarist wrong-answer-psychosis machines!

We are hostile to anyone being less than supportive because we understand where this two step you're doing into transphobia leads. And that place you're softly stepping your way towards is full of the bodies of our dead friends, put there by folks just asking questions about our humanity.

Trying to teach myself how to use an instant camera. This one came out ok. #instantcamera #film #photography #landscapes #EastCoastKin

"Why can't we have a calm discussion about AI?" Cuz the data centers are being built carelessly and at speed, polluting poor neighborhoods, cuz it's drinking my fucking aquifer, and cuz all my art and writing have been plagisrized while the worst assholes crow about my impending obsolescense...

Perhaps you need a nuthatch? #birds #nature #photography #EastCoastKin

Goddamnit. God fucking damnit.

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

Abducted, tortured, and trafficked to a country she's never lived in, she's still trying to help others suffering at the hands of the Trump regime.

Happy #MacroMonday #macro #photography #EastCoastKin

Perhaps you need some pigeons? #birds #BlueSkyMonday #EastCoastKin

Happy #StunDay here is a ladybug for this wicked cold day. #macro #photography #EastCoastKin

I hope folks grasp the fascistic resentment underpinning this shit, and the fact that there is nothing these AI robber barons would like more than to automate human creativity because they resent it and wish to devalue, own, and control it and us.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #posted so here is a hawk eating lunch on a post. #birds #EastCoastKin

Floofkitten had a nice afternoon #cats

#Sunlight falling on the Floofkitten’s face #caturday #cats #EastCoastKin

In winter I like to try to catch the #sunlight lighting up seed pods and dead leaves. #BlueSkyArtShow #EastCoastKin

Shabbat shalom and into the blanket fort I go, with another KJ Charles novel to finish and a giant cup of spearmint tea.

I hear the them of today’s #BirdOfTheDay is #Pigeons&Doves

Just in case anyone was planning on entering the Harper's Bazaar short story contest, uh, don't 😬

This debate or discourse or discussion about why Bezos is dismantling WaPo or whether or not more subscriptions or boycotts could change things or how he could fund it easily is pointless. It’s moot. Bezos bought the Post to control the narrative and push his agenda. Financials don’t matter.

I’m sad and I miss my Roundcat.

#BirdOfTheDay theme is #reflections so here is a goose looking at itself in the surface of the water. #birds #EastCoastKin

Brought the roundcat’s ashes home today

Perhaps you need a swan? #birds #EastCoastKin
