The thing about this rapture bs is that when it fails, so does the faith of some of its believers. As it did for our friend, Casey, here: youtu.be/DsrxbqFo41k?... This is well worth a watch.

Happy Equinox, y'all😁

Folks. PLEASE stop quoting the New York Times as a trusted voice in news. It is NOT. If you need a historical reference/comparison, the NYT is to maga what the Roman Catholic Church was to the nazis. Cowardice and complicity👎

😈🤣

Because I just don't have enough restoration projects [sarcasm], I picked up this late Art Nouveau boudoir lamp at a yard sale on Friday. It's a real conservator's nightmare in three different mediums, but holy crap at its potential!

Yup😖

When you change your worldview in light of the data, you're a scientist. When you change the data in light of your worldview, you're a politician.

Just because people are too "one dimensional" and non-interested in history, doesn't mean that history didn't happen or that it was insignificant.

My grandfather was an MP at a makeshift prison camp in Puerto Rico back during WWII. He never had one good thing to say about a "gotdamned" Nazi. Hell, he wouldn't even eat sourkraut because of the damned name😒 Though I love the fermented cabbage, proud to say his antifa ideals are now my own.

One of the reasons my lip curls in a sneer involuntarily when someone tells me they are a Christian. It's not the flex y'all think it is.

I stand with Jimmy Kimmel

Hey, maybe taxing billionaires into extinction would be a good thing to try. This toe-dabbling in Russian oligarchy and neo-fascism really ain't working out too well😒

The plot has been completely lost. It feels parodic at this point. Like someone is trying to force a mass delusion. No thank you.

That YouGov poll I just took was something else, y'all! A total fluff project for Meta and ya girl here wasn't havin' it. There were places for typed responses. One of mine: just so everyone knows, I'll not be giving Mark Zuckerberg a dime of my money nor another minute of my time!

He was awful.

I remember waking up to an ever-ringing phone around 8am. It was my mother...screetching "nonsense" about the US being attacked and us being at war. Blissfully without cable, my roommate and I went into work early to watch the TVs there for the scoop. Holy shit, guess I owe Mom an apology😖

I tell y'all what...I'm about sick of the double standards I'm seeing. A republican can say the vilest sh*t and it's filed away as "telling it like it is." But let a dem do it and it's "given in to hate" "rage filled" "UNHINGED!" I say scew that bullsh*t.

Sounds like peddling hate can come back and bite you in the arse, sometimes. I'm not celebrating, but he's gone and I'm not sad about it.

The President’s signature on Epstein’s card is more real than the President’s gunshot ear injury.

The view when looking up to my left. I saved this dendrobium from absolute orchid-murder back in 2018 and she's thanked me by blooming twice a year since.

Please, cancer...do me one favor. It'd be mighty awesome if you'd completely consume Putin's arsehole. Start at his mouth, if you could. That'd be great😈

Fuck that Emoluments Article II, Section 1, Clause 7, I guess. So, if our laws are meaningless, does that mean I get to do whatever tf I want to do?

The metaphysical folks call these "manifestation" or "the child within" quartz. I call it an amazing situation where secondary crystal growth completely encapsulated a primary growth. It's small and etched, but proud to say I found it myself out in a field in Georgia😁

Just saw where Amy Coney Barrett was interviewed by CBS defending her f'ed up stance on Roe and plugging her new POS book. Looks like it's time to take a slightly melted chocolate bar to every book store in town and smear a skid mark down each copy😒

Rearranging a room of my house oftentimes involves going through unprocessed fossil material. The sun porch reset I'm currently doing is definitely no different. Found this tiny blastoid with some of its brachioles yesterday. Alt for deets! #FossilFriday

Sorting fluorescent minerals in the dark and rediscovered this geode I found in Tennessee a few years ago.

Shortly, I'll depart on a eight hour trip to say one last goodbye to a "kid" I've known since she was 14. She had a mass growing in her chest and went into ER after ER over the course of two weeks. She was released with disdain and little care because of two things: she was female and overweight.

Are vaccines safe? Let's ask this guy who sounds like a dying refrigerator compressor

I hate that the world is being ransacked by short-sighted, cruelty-obsessed, tiny-dicked MEN.

My three rotten critters and I would like to wish everyone a happy #InternationalDogDay! Yeah, we know one of them is a cat, but don't tell him. He thinks he's a dog.

One of my bestest friends in the whole wide world sent these beauts to me from Great Britain during Trump's first term. Never thought they'd be relevant after 2020, but here we are.

JFKjr needs to join his daddy and uncle like yesterday. Please bury the carcass at a sewer pumping station. Instead of an eternal flame, he'll have an eternal pool of sh*t. Because that's all he deserves.

My cat being fancy af again. That tail drape is a nice touch🤭

There's no God in who you trust... youtu.be/4U9B244Z3go?...

Thomas Deininger uses plastic waste to create sculptures,or should I say,works of Genius!!!!!!

#FluoriteFriday for a change and a reminder that it's not necessarily what a mineral looks like under normal light that's spectacular🔦🪨 Alt for deets. #FluorescentMinerals #UVreactive

For a sunny #FindsFriday a lovely pair of ancient Egyptian ‘flip-flops’ still looking remarkably wearable after 3,400 years! Found in 1905 in the tomb of Yuya and Thuya in the Valley of the Kings. Egyptian Museum, Cairo 📷 by me #Archaeology

The very best thing any elected Democrat could do right now is return AIPAC's donation money and make a pretty big show of it. There really shouldn't be a problem with kicking FOREIGN money out of our campaign finances, anyway. Israel ain't in the United States, idgaf what you've heard.

Quote post with your favorite gif:

Just read a skeet that referred to Elise Stefanik as "Stanks" and now I'm ugly-laugh-crying🤣

📌 Be the one calling them out. History has it’s eyes on us.

A #MolluskMonday metaphor for the 21st century, in five shells. 🧪⚒️🐌 The shells are vermetid gastropods, sedentary filter feeders characterized by loosening whorls that become progressively unwound, exploring regions of Raup's theoretical mollusk morphospace no snail explored before.

Sparkly brachiopods "galvanized" in pyrite are my show-n-tells this week for #FossilFriday. Sciency name: Paraspirifer bownockeri. They hail from the Mid-Devonian; found in the Silica Shale Formation in Lucas Co, Ohio. One is being hugged by a super cool bryozoan friend😁

I'm sick and tired of these disaffected republicans running around with their heads on fire, like they didn't spend the previous 30 years or so building the pyre for the fire that burned them!

Rage preached to my generation. My generation didn't fucking listen intently enough. Flash foward and here we are, drowning in a cesspool of rightwing belligerence. Latchkey Kids, I'm so disappointed in most of your arses. 👎💨 youtu.be/ctiKD8jtvV8?...
