Balance, turning towards the times of decay and dark. Shedding leaves that will nourish you next Spring. Retreating within, cooled by the air and warmed by a hearth fire. Happy Autumnal Equinox.

“At last,” shouted Toad, “my seeds have stopped being afraid to grow!” “And now you will have a nice garden too,” said Frog. “Yes,” said Toad, “but you were right, Frog. It was very hard work.”

The evil that men do lives after them

Get in loser, we're fighting windmills

I think it's good to keep getting mad about evil and unjust things, if only to remind yourself and everyone else that these things are in fact evil and unjust. I don't think it's naive. Nor is it wise and sophisticated to adopt a "You fool, nothing matters and nothing good can ever happen" posture

There should be a Pacific Rim video game that is only co-op and each player pilots half a jaeger and you have to fight kaiju. I’d be amazing and silly and fun.

The thing they don't tell you about vampires is that their poop has gotta be black as tar

Caterpillar waking up halfway through metamorphosis: I'm goo. Shit. Shit. Calm down. Go back to sleep. I'm really straight-up goo right now. Fuck

Whatever happened to cutting off the nipples of a ruler and sacrificing him to the bog to bring back the favor of the displeased goddess of the Land?

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

despite everything, i still believe in the potential of humankind to create utopia. but it will require hard work, courage, and above all else extremely deep v-necks that go almost down to the dick

Give me your hands all over, one by one.

Willow write a song that doesn't reference the Newgrange passage tomb or Plato's allegory of the cave, challenge level: impossible

One thing about me is I WILL be getting ice from the ice machine in a hotel. Every time.

Why are the most pestilential bugs so cute though?

I love fig newtons

My 20s AKA Finding Out Every Few Years That I'm More Mentally Ill Than I Previously Thought

i know i'm preaching to the choir on Blue Sky, but if you think wearing a mask to prevent disease is tyranny, but kidnapping Latinos off the street is safety, then you are stupid

Thinking about Independence Day. Completely and totally unrelated: I've been thinking about the phrase "the first Pride was a riot".

free my country from calamity.

The evil that men do lives after them

I got to model for this painting! It’s not even finished and it’s already looking so magical!

it’s a wicked world in all meridians; I’ll die a pagan.

Nature teaches beasts to know their friends.

I have a fantasy of playing cards with a friend by a beautiful pond, and I say, “Got any fives?” And they say, “Go fish.” And I stand up and dive into the water, my hands in prayer position like a little cartoon, and that’s the last you’ll hear of me.

Finished my painting! Insects are gay icons.

Pro tip: most cars have a feature to flash an external light to signal your intent to turn or change lanes. This is particularly useful to signal your intent to turn or change lanes.

I wish more people still wore masks in public so I could keep playing my game of "do I think this person has a nose ring under there?"

I love wearing a mask in the grocery store it means I get to have little secrets like no one in the Safeway knows I have Snoopy pimple patches on my chin

When I got autism-assessed, my CAT-Q (effort put into masking) score was 148, a score my diagnosing doctor said was associated with identity disorders and s*cidal ideation. Retaking that test after a few years of unmasking work, my score is now 128! I'm closer to the average for autistic people now!

I am altering the gender. Pray I do not alter it further.

An auspicious occurrence

Surprise! It's a Rainbow Kitten!

"I asked ChatGPT" yeah well I asked The Maiden, The Mother, and The Crone, and they gave me the Understanding of magic necessary to annihilate your data center. Now me and a pack of muscle mommy werewolves are gonna do just that.

Come, come away! The sun is high, and we outwear the day.

Nature + Fiddle

Reminder that buying into the idea that “some people don’t matter” is self-destructive. Because I promise you, someone out there has YOU in the “doesn’t matter” category. And the only way to defend yourself from them is to build a world where everyone matters.

My algorithm is feeding me anti-bush propaganda no I don't want an electric bikini shaver from the tiktok shop who the fuck do you think I am

This is who runs this account

Covid is a social justice issue. Respirators cost money. HEPA filters cost money. Tests cost money. Vaccines cost money. Paid time off is rare. Affordable child care is non existent Covid disproportionately impacts those who are already the most marginalized Mask up & protect your community

Finally an app with baseline common sense! If your automated system could kill someone by getting it wrong, then don't let the automated system do it.

Governmental borders and the maintaining of them are inherently violent. We pretend they're there to maintain safety and order, but they're there to stake claim on who gets to exploit the natural resources and human labor of a region.
