What a magical beautiful world we live in.

Yall the aurora is SUPER bright tonight. This is right by Powderhorn.

if you can throw a few dollars Rosemary's way, I know it would be deeply appreciated! times are tough but anything helps.

Lando, and his impractical love of rolling in leaves, is making today tolerable.

Eastern US Teabagged By Arctic Blast

Every picture I see of her looks like the discard pile of background characters from a modern day retelling of little house on the prairie

I like that Kim Davis fails at everything she tries to do, including destroying marriages, maintaining her own marriages, and her hair.

Read every word & share with everyone you know. This is real life here in Chicago. Americans need to know this grotesque reality & stand with us.

I’m so proud of this brave sweet little dude.

If any of your people rely on SNAP in Wisconsin, look, if it were me, I'd tell them to get to a grocery store _tonight_ www.patreon.com/posts/143153...

They keep saying “finger buns” on Bake Off and I keep cackling.

BREAKING: Justice Jackson puts order forcing Trump to fully fund SNAP benefits on hold to give the appeals court time to rule on the stay pending appeal @courthousenews.bsky.social

I can’t believe Zohran is transing the trains already www.mta.info/article/f-m-...

Just wanted to say thank you so much to folks who have donated or boosted. Our little orange man is home, drugged, and doing great. Gonna be doing what I can to make extra money, and also wow your help is so appreciated because this last year has just…not gone how I expected, repeatedly. Thank you.

OKAY SO on 10/25 I got married (small ceremony at home, quickly put together in order to make it happen before it’s illegal again) and then last night Count Sackula (Clyde to his friends) fell off of a ceiling beam in our kitchen and broke the shit out of a forelimb. (Thread)

Baked some good looking loaves last night, which does not make up for the bad things that happened and how tough today might be, but hey, at least I have delicious bread for breakfast toast.

Been rearranging things now that husband has moved the last of his stuff over, which feels really nice and good for my soul.

Mood rn

Taking a walk yesterday I saw an extremely round albino squirrel eating someone's carved pumpkin.

Even his music is stuck in a previous century.

Yall I’m so high I was like I wouldn’t call 56-42 young.

I gotta give it up to the writers tho. If NYC elects a Muslim mayor on the day Dick Cheney died, that is one hell of a slow played story arc. Every time you want to fire 2025's writers room they give you a little narrative resolution as a treat.

Okay, I realize the "(Inc.)" following Jacob Frey's name on election tallies is for "incumbent", but also "Jacob Frey Inc." is the truest.

Tonight is so beautiful.

May we all endeavor to live a life where no one is celebrating our demise.

what an auspicious start to this day.

Attention, I will be using a Magic Wand for its labeled purpose (as a massage wand). I appreciate your understanding in this difficult time for me.

Is Bruce Willis just playing Rick Moranis in Death Becomes Her?

It’s so hard to have my kid somewhere every other week where his feelings are being constantly hurt and his needs are neglected. Harder to live it for sure but it physically hurts to leave him/pick him up.

Trump and Republicans went to court to try to steal food assistance form 42 million people ahead of the holidays. Do not forget this.

The squirrels in my yard have adopted a weave or wig as a door. They recently gave it a trim (leaving the trimmings all over my yard). It’s…really something to watch them lift up their little human hair doorway and pop in/out. 😬 Happy Halloween?

My husband, who hated spiders deeply until a few months ago, and I are texting each other from opposite ends of the house about our search for the huge jumping spider who hitched a ride into the house last week (who he named Albert) and our hope that he has not perished. I’m so fucking lucky 🥰🥰

Why does Dan Orban think I want a flier when I have a Chavez sign in my yard? And who thought up the brilliant idea to tape it to my window? Now I have to go pick at sticky tape on my glass door. Making quite a statement. 🙄

I had a vivid dream about a line of Great Depression-era clowns at Powderhorn in a bread line, and me trying to hire one of them. What…the fuck…?

Years ago when I was on SNAP (we called it Link) I would tutor my hairdresser's son in exchange for getting my hair done. I got my teeth cleaned at a student clinic for $10 IIRC and my nails done by a friend in the cosmetology program who always needed people to practice on. Community 101

Anyway it’s an absolutely beautiful day. If the universe would give me a small kindness and do this tomorrow too, I would really appreciate it. So much.

Seeing some good old fashioned listserv drama that I don’t have to interact with is a small bandaid to my soul right now.

Get yourselves ready, friends.

It's amazing that these guys don't recognize that being an aggro asshole when surrounded by literally hundreds of people who hate them is risky behavior.

Bowser made it half a block before she started limping and we had to turn home. I love old dogs so much but they’re so hard and so good at breaking your heart.

"’Conversion therapy’ is heinous and barbaric. Let's just call it what it is: torture,” said Senator Scott Dibble back in 2023, when his bill banning it in Minnesota passed the state senate

Why did David Lynch give us Dick Tremayne and then force us to try to accept that he is heterosexual

Dating a therapist has got to be kind of tiresome and I’m glad my fiancé puts up with me. 😬

Israel Warns Gaza Still Harboring Hundreds Of Doctors https://theonion.com/israel-warns-gaza-still-harboring-hundreds-of-doctors-1850964439/

Once again: this is also happening in DC. Still. It feels like we’ve been forgotten, maybe because there aren’t huge confrontations to run photos of. But our neighbors are still being taken every day. Routine traffic stops are now done by 12+ feds alongside local police. Please talk about us too.

What I learned from Miss Major was persistence and also keeping a sense of humor. I was lucky to see her work in various organizing meetings over the years. She was a model of how to be a good elder. Truly grateful for everything she did to make the world better. Time for the rest of us to continue.

Miss Major has passed away. We've lost an icon for the ages. Rest in power.

Hey idk who needs to hear this but this isn’t actually a helpful thing to say to someone 😘
