Hello, community 💐

Focus your mind and your actions very intently on what you can do to improve the world, even if it's only as far as your arms can reach.

so between "if you work for the feds on immigration, seek counsel for the sake of your immortal soul" from the bishop of dallas and now "clergy, update your wills then hit the streets" from the bishop of new hampshire, I feel that a shift has begun in 2026 in the rhetoric from episcopal leadership

Ice Out For Good rally on the Galveston Seawall today had a good turnout.

Marching for Renee Good tomorrow at noon at the ICE OUT FOR GOOD event.

I'm attending Indivisible's event, “Rapid Response Call: ICE Killing and Lawlessness in Minneapolis” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

I've been very focused on my new series of scrimshaw on clouds. All signed, mostly abstracts, but I threw in a few whaling ships for you purists.

Go do something nice for a friend or neighbor today. Nothing you tweet or do will have any impact on the mess, but that will make you feel better. Build community.

Happy New Year, everyone 🌟💛🌟

It’s time again for our Annual SnowLesbian. Something in her gaze makes her even more beautiful.

Good morning 🤍

I've been secretly hoarding sweet nothings all year and tonight I will whip them at you one by one, dodgeball style.

"I wake to a bedside note from last night's self: '... like a thorn to a shrike." Our last miCRo of 2025 is a prose poem by @kevingrauke.bsky.social, "Loggerhead Shrike," which captures the lightning-in-a-bottle inspiration that can (sometimes) strike while inebriated. Link in thread.

Good morning

My most fundamental belief is that we do not have to live like this.

Good morning, all. 🧩☕️🧩

The invisible thread binding us all holds fast to the spirit. Last time I had it wound around ankles instead and we saw a worrisome number of broken hips.

One of my favorite parts of December is receiving a holiday update from @crotchetycarl.bsky.social

It's not quite the end of the term, so you have a few more opportunities to bring your grades up. Where are my power sycophants?

I can see that none of you children will be at peace until you see someone compliment me. Here you are then.

It's Shringix vaccine day for me. Having a Duchess Mug of coffee to fortify.

Happy #SecularPieThursday.

Before the day gets away from me, here is my contribution for #SecularPieThursday: cherry pie with lattice crust. @duchessgoldblatt.bsky.social, I give thanks to you for being here with us.

Good morning and Happy #SecularPieThursday to @duchessgoldblatt.bsky.social and all who celebrate. This year I tried my version of an Epicurious recipe that I have renamed Bourbon Pecan Cranberry Galette. Made with locally grown pecans. See ALT text for recipe 🔗

On #SecularPieThursday, all I have to offer is a Landry’s Select Club hunk of carrot cake. I hope it almost counts. The calories will. If pie appears, I’ll be back to inform @duchessgoldblatt.bsky.social later xoxo

Submitted for your approval, Your Grace. Sweet potato pies from Grandma’s recipe #SecularPieThursday

The least you could do is tell me I look nice today.

oh i will be making this my WHOLE personality

Oh, this cannot stand. Go vote for our Duchess.

THE MOST IMPORTANT VOTE IN MY LIFETIME! Vote Duchess!

Her Grace @duchessgoldblatt.bsky.social is in a contest and I encourage you to A) vote for her here lithub.com/what-was-lit... and B) join us November 27th with pie photos to honor her on #SecularPieThursday (it's deliciously good fun)

Paging @miraclecharlie.bsky.social!

Apparently I'm in a contest pitted against "Men Don't Read"? Heads, as we say, will roll.

Please vote for our @duchessgoldblatt.bsky.social. You will need to scroll down to find the part of the page where she goes up against MEN DON’T READ. Link here: lithub.com/what-was-lit...

My friend P just told me about this! Omg, how have we not been voting for Duchess…? Let’s get this done, people! lithub.com/what-was-lit...

This collection is knockout. Thalia Larry McMurtry knockout.

Doubly good morning

My collection of connected stories is out today (paperback and ebook)! And published by the very cool @cowboyjamboree.bsky.social! There are much more important things going on everywhere, but it sure would be nice if you'd spent a little time in the tiny West Town of Yonder.

Looking forward to reading WEST OF DESTRY by @kevingrauke.bsky.social Drops today 11/11/25

Remember I get 10% of all friendships developed through a shared love for me. No checks.

Good morning, all

A belated good morning ☀️

I'm very proud of you all today. Well done. No notes.

Good morning, all

Out now: 37 new episodes of my podcast, all featuring me and the monks of Crooked Path as we sit in contemplative silence for hours. Bliss.

Home of the Brave launched a $1 million national ad campaign in support of the peaceful No Kings rallies on Oct. 18th. The ads will run in over 185 local papers and The New York Times, USA Today and The Washington Post calling on Americans to “peacefully protest our false king."
