happy Pride! to celebrate, I'd like to share something beautiful: @sjane.bsky.social's miraculous HOTEL ALMIGHTY. joy is more than something scavenged, in this meeting of collage and erasure. it's carved in relief, every page triumphant. comment "pick me!" I'll draw a name at the end of the month.

I got this book on Kaitlin’s rec (which also introduced me to @sarabandebooks.bsky.social) and it is a triumph

Tarragon is not allowed in the laundry closet, so she has to behave like some sort of Gothic heroine on the threshold of a terrible discovery

Marty is attentive to your needs and Max will chase the demons away.

hiya, hello, sorry for the absence: I was very ill! now I am here to say that the "finale" to Good Omens made me physically sick and I am altogether miserable!

I am demanding more insults that feature an implied transatlantic accent scram, lady. beat feet is what I'm saying. I'm telling you to take a powder, see? cause if you don't blow, you're gonna get the bum's rush, you follow?

Is a scram lady from Scramton, PA 🤔

it's pretty glorious tbh

"scram, lady" I don't think the Internet is a good place for 1930s Chicago bootlegger colloquialisms. they feel out of place

every day people say things to me online

the reason I feel kind of insane is that this guy is mad at me for speaking about a region of Texas I don't reside in, but buddy is himself a transplant from the Midwest lol 😭

My excellent friend described her finances as “we can’t always afford the guacamole” and I feel that is critically overlooked criteria.

today a member of my adoring public accused me of being "rich" (I am not), a "kid" (I am in my thirties), and having "strange identity politics," which is ostensibly a way of getting at the fact that I am a lifelong Tejana... the perils of having combination-oily skin and a sparkling personality...

sure seems like not being a rapist should be a low bar to clear, and yet

another banger from this guy

the only brew composed of verbs, and they took it from us... #letstoast #letsjam

today @yorkshiretea.bsky.social announced "sticky toffee" and "Victoria sponge" teas. yet they persist in withholding the True Brew. #toastandjam

As a maintenance guy I recommend (from experience) don't put popcorn seeds down there and definitely don't use your disposal to get rid of a POUND OF POT STEMS ....🤪

someday I will share the best email I've ever gotten with you guys, and you will get to be like... wow... that's the best email she could have gotten

popping in only to share this, the best email I've ever gotten, with you guys:

There are few things worse than guys who start out as Stupid Version Of Richard Dawkins, then "believe" without actually trying to change in any way or even being interested in changing and think they're okay just being the same a-hole for a different cause.

there's a guy out here in a "Support ICE" t-shirt. buddy, I will support rain, snow, sleet, or hail. I will put a typhoon through college. but trust that the only thing ICE is getting from me is rock salt.

@ouisequitur.bsky.social clarimy activity?

involving my friends in my interests

j.d. vance is about to go bowser on the pope

in other news, here's the Famous George!, the toothless orange (foster fail) who lives with my folks. I love him very much!

it's true

the level of friendlessness that j.d. vance exhibits... buddy has to kidnap the pope

good insight from Juli:

“When we silence grief we silence empathy too”—Colin Hortman Really interesting thinking about this, now, the gross human rights violations that are committed against humans by ICE in multiple places across the country every day, & thinking how we never mourned collectively the death toll of COVID.

when all this is over, when we've outlived all the badness, I wonder about the measurable impact on our brains: years of heightened cortisol, wrought by his unstable games.

Please call if you are able!! US Capitol Switchboard phone number is +1 (202) 224-3121

sending all my love to friends near and far, the ones whose names are in my heart and those I haven't yet been introduced to. the fight for a gentler world is hard and everlasting, but it depends on individual people doing something--not everything, but what they can.

tell Congress that recess is over.

a script for today: "My name is [yours]. I'm a constituent from [city, state, zip], calling with an urgent message for [Senator / Representative]."

now would be a good time to facilitate Trump's mobile game app addiction... he will drop all this nonsense with the strait if we can just get him on Pokémon GO

we can get Trump off socials by showing him Jynx

that's exactly right

does Joe Biden have a phone... I feel like Pokémon GO would rock his world...

the comma splice is a creative choice

dreamt that the big cats on Broadway made Jeopardy! the Musical!, and part of the thing involved conscripting an audience member into the show, so I got called up, aced it, and everyone was really impressed, also John Mulaney was my friend who came to my house for spinach dip

I spent an afternoon in the remains of the lake, picking through algal mud. in one spot, I found a silver spoon, wheat pennies, antique beef bones. the coins and cutlery date to the first half of the twentieth century.

the water crisis in Corpus Christi, Texas is the worst Coleridge parody: this city, lipped by the Gulf of Mexico, is in sustained drought. residents are made to ration showers, dishwater, the negligible usage of ordinary life; meanwhile, refineries go on exhausting the supply of fresh water.

the trump administration is selling this country wholesale to rapacious, extractive industries that will destroy our collective resources for private profit morethanjustparks.substack.com/p/breaking-t...
