I watch the bulk of ashleythebaroness videos, despite rarely sharing them. But this one hit today. And she's right! We're not dealing with some foreign ideology. We're dealing with a uniquely American phenomenon. fascism wrapped in our own flag

My new book is very officially out today. It’s about how hustle culture is bad for everyone involved in it, and what you can do individually and together to get out from under it. Solidarity forever, tell your friends.

ngl the pig on the cup is pretty great in that it is a *darned cute* pig to draw on a cup in such short order. love this for them ☕🐖

You are not alone in your emotions. We are many; they are few. Remind yourself however you are able to do so.

(posted on X, the Techbro Stormfront) EXCLUSIVE! Read my scathing takedown of our fascist government on Substack, the white supremacist blogging platform!

Such a long, long time to be gone And a short time to be there RIP Bob Weir www.jambase.com/article/bob-...

yinz, I bought socks. i received socks AND POETRY

Every time someone says “don’t take the bait” I hear “what did you do to provoke him.”

It has never been more important in most of our lifetimes than now to make art that deeply offends and concerns fascists.

The number of times I’ve been called a “fucking bitch” is not a small number. These men hate us, hate our families, hate our happiness, hate our neighbors and friends. They just feel more empowered now than ever and that’s something that should’ve been dealt with long ago. Second best time is now

People say, "eat the rich," and it's a catchy slogan for sure, but I think we should give the rich the choice to not be eaten, simply by forfeiting most of their wealth. I'm a moderate, really.

lady downstairs is having a real one. been slamming the doors so hard...like you have to purposely *try* to do that. after over a year of these tantrums, i just laugh. get it out, girl. I believe in peace, bitch. youtu.be/AFmv3h_ic_w?...

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

I'm so frustrated. I hate that people treated me like my warnings were hysterical when its happening faster than I thought it would. I have spent the last 6 years preparing for it. Others have been preparing much longer and more thoroughly.

No more, no more.

6PM TONIGHT / vigil in Erie at the West side of Perry Square. I def need to be in community with other people 🧠 🕯️ (wish more of these announcements made it to bluesky but I'm not sure how many Erie folks are on here)

I guess I just want to say, we're all on edge and terrified. Now would be the perfect time and opportunity for misinformation to take off. Let's all take a beat and think before posting things.

Whole country’s got a river of blood under it, looks like ghostbusters 2.

reminder that Tetris is good for brain trauma stuff in case you saw the video and, like me, actively did not want to see it

Post-Gazette won their labor union victory and the Block family is now shutting the PG down. We’re losing PG and City Paper. We’re going back to anti-fascist zines at this points.

this.

yinz ever just pet your cat for a bit & then, when you touch noses, there is a zap of static spark between you & you both look at each other for a split second & giggle?

Philosophers—the most relentlessly disputatious people alive—in complete agreement for once.

almost told my therapist I love her before we hung up cool cool cool

RIP Steve Sheetz ☝🏻 that MTO saved my life every weekend in college. which was a lot of weekends.

I bring this up often, but it's somehow getting worse? if you're expecting someone to deliver things to your home, maybe quit with the clever signs like ON MY PORCH? I'M GONNA SHOOT YOU! PREPARE TO MEET YOUR GOD & THEN MY DOG WILL EAT YOU! you're making delivery people feel VERY fucking unsafe.

Well, it happened.

not sure how I've missed that there is a miniseries where Picard is Ahab?! PLAY IMMEDIATELY MAKE IT SO *harpoons tv for not responding quickly enough*

needlefelting all night by the fireplace-space heater & listening to Moby Dick on audiobook...but it's bedtime. queue the barred owl hooting happily from a snowy backyard evergreen under the waning fat moon & the the crackling fire white noise. if we're going back in time, i guess let me out in 1851

Yup. If somebody steps to you in some Birks you know there is no fear in their heart and no plan to retreat and you should be shook

Marked out like I just heard the Stone Cold breaking glass sound

Culinary Class Wars seems like it should be the perfect follow-up to Delicious in Dungeon

keep thinking about playing Risk with my dad & how he always pointed out that the southern border of Mexico is much smaller & easier to fortify than the US southern border & therefore was a good candidate to take over of you already controlled the US ♟️🌎

oh shoot! it's EYE DAY FRIDAY!

in 1990, my fam got a dishwasher. we kids LOVED IT! just put in the dirty dishes & that's it! GENIUS! my dad would lose it over stuff still stuck on the dishes when they came out & would yell at us YOU STILL HAVE TO RINSE THEM! THERE ISN'T A LITTLE GUY IN THERE! prompts are un-rinsed dirty dishes.

the thing that strikes me about the Grok "apology" thing is that even those of us who are against "AI" as it is marketed to us have trouble not falling into the basic fallacy that they are trying to sell us, i.e. There's A Little Guy In There

happy new year! 🥳 starting 2026 off reporting debit card fraud at a laundromat pmt thing & a Home Depot...in Texas! rep kept asking if I'm *SURE* it wasn't me & i just forgot? i told him that it REALLY sticks out when it's a place you are *actively boycotting* like Target, Spotify, TJs, & Starbucks

me, explaining a snow bong to my mother who still can't remember the difference between a bong & a bowl despite nearly 30 years of illustrated explanation. 🌬️❄️

lake effect is in effect hell yes! (like the cold Dante version of hell, obvs) ❄️

drove to steubenville, ohio in a blizzard to see my boyfriend. his theme song: share.google/yolsDgVtIHhb...

it looks like the Nothing is eating the country.

That sound is not a train or a wayward aircraft: it is the wind. Yesterday was 60 and rainy. Right now, it is 15 and snowing.

the wind arrived, the temp is dropping & I can't tell if it's the overnight trains or if we should be going down to the basement this is WILD

Next time someone says they don’t have to apologize for being white anymore, ask them to tell about the most recent time they were forced to apologize for being white and who made them do it.

so many folks meeting me at the door with cookies today. hopefully none of them were poison. all of them were pretty great... especially the salted caramel toffee cookie made by a lady named Kay out in the saegartown super-rurals. dang, Kay. daaaaaang. i think this is what Santa must feel like 🎅🏻

My new year's resolution this year, as every year, is to be a more available, supportive friend as well as an increasingly looming, formidable enemy.

Time to dim the lights on Boxing Day. Sweet Dreams, America. We’ll make it through. #RadioFreeAmerica youtu.be/vxx2i9hkHKE?...

watching Delicious in Dungeon which is pretty much like watching a Final Fantasy party who also eat the monsters they slay & this is the cooking show we all need for the apocalypse. they would not only beat Bobby Flay...they would also eat him.
