One look and you know he’s having fun :3

Why do you appreciate unions? I’ll start: Weekends off Paid vacations Work breaks Sick leave Paid holidays No child labor Safer working conditions Health care and retirement benefits

Wait, wait, wait, so the drugs that help people (myself included) with mental illnesses are the problem? Explain to me in what world that makes sense. As always, the guns are the problem, neo-Nazism is the problem, people being untreated for mental illness is the problem. Let’s be smart here.

Frog Sauna is the name of my next band

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game. The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

Happy weekend, here's a blep #DailyDoggo

The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left." It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power.

The f*&%ing library.

"Bluesky is dying" Oh yeah? Then explain why this GIF always does numbers.

I have a feeling that promoting my debut novel would be a lot easier if I was “cool”. I haven’t really started yet and I know it’s going to be an additional challenge. Nothing I’m not up for! Being “uncool” is something I have a looooot of experience with ;)

Want to help your favorite authors? There are lots of ways! --buy the book --borrow the book --talk about the book to friends, booksellers, librarians --REVIEW THE BOOK! Even as simple as "I loved it!" is helpful on sites like Amazon (has to do with the algorithm, which is beyond me...) #BookSky

There’s renewable energy ads and there’s mother**cking wind farm ads. This, blissfully, is the latter.

Etymology of the day: spiders were once known as ‘attercops’, or ‘poison-heads’, because it was believed most spiders were venomous. The ‘cop’ element became the ‘cob’ in ‘cobweb’.

I take a lot of photos of my cat with my textbooks but LOOK AT HER FACE IN THIS ONE.

I amnot to be triffled with okey

I say this with all affection to Charlie, but that poor brain slug is starving

I expect that consumer-facing AI programs will continue to improve and they may become much more useful tools for everyday life in the future. But I think it was a disastrous mistake that today’s models were taught to be convincing before they were taught to be right.

Jonathan Joss was Comanche and Apache and an openly gay actor. He was murdered while looking at the remains of his dogs at his own house that was burnt down. The killer yelled homophobic slurs before shooting him. This is the real world consequences of the hatred that the right commodifies

My emotional attachment to this extra tiny chick has reminded me why I could never be a wildlife photographer. He would have been tucked up in my coat already.

Daily bunny no.2951 gotcha!

Proof this guy is full of SITH.

If your vote threatens someone's right to exist, then yeah I judge you based on your vote.

On the eve of the Canadian federal election, I urge my fellow Canadians to vote wisely, strategically, and like your country depends on it, because it does.

Dear Canada: tomorrow is Election Day. This is Mark Carney. Hint, hint.

Al gore is pissed off and I’m here for it

Rinse and repeat for the foreseeable future.

“It's hypocrisy to call yourself a Christian and chase away a refugee or someone seeking help, someone who is hungry or thirsty, toss out someone who is in need of my help. If I say I am Christian, but do these things, I'm a hypocrite." -Pope Francis

Once again, I was left to wonder: was Pete Hegseth signal chatting military attack plans to everyone but me?? Am I the one that’s insecure, or is it his communication practices that are insecure?

Let me get this straight... Republican congressmen are allowed to take vanity tours in CECOT prison in El Salvador, but Senator Chris Van Hollen is denied entry to check on the welfare of his wrongly imprisoned constituent?

Without due process, this could be you. It could be me. It could be any or all of us. It doesn’t matter who you voted for. Or the color of your skin. You must understand what is truly at stake here. All tyranny needs to thrive is for people of good conscience to remain silent.

Me, being edited: I swear, if I'm asked to change one word, I will ring the police! Me editing someone else: I recommend deleting half this book and rewriting the other half from the perspective of a new character I have created for you called Mr. Peepers.

I feel this so very much and also simultaneously feel like one way we're going to get through all of this is to have artists and writers and musicians chucking in to create space for others to experience joy and rest for a moment before going out to fight again in the world. Creation is resistance.
