Inside of you there are two wolves and they kiss each other. Like, frenching. With tongue, I mean.

Leaving your art at a gallery is akin to dropping your kid at the first daycare. Like hey this contains so much of my heart, please be nice.

Searching for the One (pepper) Ring to rule them all

I can respect this opinion because most humans on earth haven’t had the opportunity to experience fresh Maine blueberries.

Honestly, I’d rather people who are overwhelmed did nothing rather than doing actively counterproductive stuff like yelling at the people who ARE doing something that it’s hopeless, it’ll never be enough, why bother.

Guy who wants to draw the line in a horrible place: All I'm saying is where do we draw the line

They said it. We’re all thinking it.

“I love that our relationship strives for 50/50 equality, not like a check split down the middle, but like one of those little birds who hangs out on top of a rhinoceros.” - Gondelman just being the Husband of All time

Haven’t Tolkien-posted much lately, but my beloved @teawithtolkien.com has a book coming out on the 20th! It’s an earnest exploration of how to bring loving hobbit values into our daily lives, and we NEED more of that

Another resistance quilt finished this week. The eye is my own design, the letters are a fpp pattern by QuiltByNight, the rounded corners and black binding are meant to resemble the phones we the people are using to document the horrors and disprove the government’s lies about what they are doing.

i know everybody on bluesky is way too smart to believe thing is, if you don't believe, tinkerbell dies it's on all of us

“Non-white Americans are also Americans” has become a political message, so

“Powerful and wealthy people were telling me I was smart and important, and that affected my views in ways I hadn’t realized. I was part of something harmful and now I am taking a hard look at my past behavior.” It could be that fucking easy. You could stop doubling the fuck down.

“Powerful men have always been able to abuse pubescent girls, get over it” is just not the conversation-gender you seem to think it is

The entire anti wokeness nonsense of the past decade was about making this kind of gutter racism broadly acceptable again bsky.app/profile/adam...

This feels like a trap to get white people to make criticisms that are not ours to make

Elite journalism: … shit

Yes we are. We’re going to stop them

Mainers, if Chellie Pingree, supposed left-wing rep, can’t call for abolishing ICE with popular support this overwhelming, she needs to go 💔 Call to get her onboard before we have to leave her behind: 207-774-5019

Maya Pei Brigade-ass behavior

I don’t know what the subset of politics are for the people driving these Subarus and minivans because all I need to know is they are bringing food to people, and trying to avoid being followed by armed secret police while they do it. racketmn.com/they-asked-f...

Portland City Council urges Gov. Mills to enact eviction moratorium

The priest at my church got beat up at an anti-ICE protest on the peninsula this week, and when he showed up for Mass today with a black eye all the church ladies swooned like they had seen a Backstreet Boy.

Deleting Signal now that I know it's compromised. Find me on my Samsung SmartFridge.

Feels weird to describe Andor as a “comfort watch” but I suppose it makes sense, in this moment, for a story about resistance in the face of fascism to be that. And despite taking place inside a cartoon space cowboy universe, it feels as grounded and serious as anything I’ve watched lately.

Some leftist purists gonna be real mad when they find out mutual aid includes bringing meals to the homophobic grandma next door and abolishing prisons means helping people find housing post-incarceration even if they have garbage racist opinions. Meeting people where they are are is hard.

I keep thinking again, in light of the latest Epstein files dump, about how MeToo “went too far.”

It's me. I'm the equipment

It's not just "stand up to ICE when you see them," it's building many vast networks of support and trust to - create safe spaces - protect schools - get kids TO school - check on neighbors - deliver groceries - help pay the rent - let people know of danger - feed the helpers, too! - and on and on

DC politicians: if this were really an emergency my elite journalist buddies would be making a bigger deal of it Elite journalism: if this were really an emergency my politician buddies would be making a bigger deal of it

gentle reminder from the 6 year old. a keeper.

If you are running for president you should make clear you’re gonna send Greg Bovino to prison

I can't put into words the feeling of watching our government, a hive of evil antisocial filth, the absolute worst humanity has to offer, colliding with the best. Ordinary people trying to help each other, risking everything to stand up for what's plainly, unambiguously fair and right. It's unreal

It is not your duty to finish the work, but neither are you free to abandon it

Chicken tikka masala pizza is American. The Confederacy is un-American.

You truly cannot put together a real community mutual aid network in a single day but DAMNED if I’m not trying

It's genuinely a leaderless (or leaderful) movement, decentralized in a way that the state is absolutely unequipped to handle. There are a few basic skills involved, and so people teach each other those skills, and people are collectively refining them.

In their heads all of this - the crimes, the indictments, the investigations, the consequences - it’s all theater, disguising a political system that in actuality only responds to marginal change in egg prices. They think this knowledge makes them savvy. In actual fact they are world-historic fools.

If you are an out of state federal agent, I suggest you wear lots of cotton. Keep it damp.

Stancil-haters are honestly the most contemptible part of this app right now, get a GRIP

we really need to fully comprehend the assumptions they made about us (if we find the lever that turns off DEI, every white American will gratefully throw off the shackles of multiracial democracy!) and get angry about it.
