Porch time. 🏳️‍🌈

1. Call your reps about Trump's violation of the War Powers Act 2. Demand Congress haul Hegseth etc. in for hearings/briefings on justification 3. Demand to know why the Gang of Eight was not kept in the loop. Do it NOW.

I am begging people not to look to the NYT for coverage of what's happening. The BBC, Le Monde, Ajazeera and others will have more truthful coverage.

Well now that Trump’s sent us to war I guess I’d better get back on social media. Have a baby horse for serotonin.

I keep thinking about those congresspeople kneeling in the rotunda wearing kente cloth scarves, very performative. There has been no loud, visible, unified support for Sarah McBride from the democrats. It’s a real disgrace. That is your colleague! They are bullying her in your faces. And silence!

Your reminder that legislation to curb the rights of trans people to use restrooms or do anything else means everyone's behaviour, clothing etc will be opened up to intrusive and unwanted scrutiny and potential challenge in our daily lives. This is not a 'them' issue. Trans rights are human rights.

What I’m watching right now: ~Bodkin (Am I laughing at a murder mystery?) ~Arcane (So, so pretty. SO PRETTY!) What I’m reading right now: ~ Mere Christianity (For a continuing ed class on doubting the Bible.) ~ Quicksilver (Way too much sex for me but I’m slogging through for reasons.) You?

Good morning from Howie, who takes a nap every morning at roughly 1030AM. #horsesky #horses #equestrian #ottb

Pro tip: Just because you consider yourself a writer does not mean that singular trait needs to define you on social media. People contain multitudes. For example, I’m also fucking exhausted.

Oh my gosh. Bluesky is growing again. How exciting. Welcome new followers. Yes, I still write, but here are the reasons my word count has been super low as of late: #horses #dachsunds #nospoons

The sass is strong in this one.

If you use AI for your book covers and illustrations I'm going to assume you're not a real author and you let AI write your book for you too. Why would I assume you have integrity in one area but not the other.

white liberal Americans, I need you all to get more comfortable with your first response to conservative complaints being a calm but firm “I don’t care.”

Jumping bitless. I’m not surprised Howie prefers the hackamore as hist tongue was tied down for much of his racing career.

"I need AI to make comics, I can't draw!" Okay, but one of the most popular webcomics of all time was literally just stick figures. Another one is over 4000 strips of the exact same clipart of dinosaurs. You can make a comic. Trust me, it's really not that hard.

"We all have the same 24 hours" 1) We literally don't. 2) No two people have the exact same physical or mental capabilities and therefore, are capable of achieving different things with the time that they have. 3) Shut up.

Judging intensifies.

"We will do what it takes to increase school attendance rates!" "Free school lunches?" "Ah, no." "Classroom ventilation?" "Also no." "Improve school facilities to make them equitable?" "Absolutely not." "Decrease poverty?" "I think you are missing the point." "Punish struggling parents." "Exactly."

Guys, it is proper bananas that the size of the Moon and the distance to the Sun are so perfectly matched. It's one of the absolutely coolest things about the sky, and I say this as a person who discovers whole new planets.

Serious kitten thoughts. Photo from my collection, ca. 1940s.

Art isn’t about single days or single works. Writing a book isn’t about writing a single page or chapter. It’s all cumulative. You just keep doing it whenever you can, and pretty soon you have a complete manuscript, or a portfolio of paintings. You just keep doing it and it soon adds up.

Inside me there are two wolves. This is not enough to control the deer population inside me, which is degrading the river ecology inside me. I’m attempting to release more wolves inside me to address this, but the ranchers inside me object, and
