One of the biggest downsides of being car-free is that ambling around to thrift stores is time-consuming. I went for the first time in several months and the gods favored me. A couple of pieces that are so fashion, that now I have to force myself to leave home just to show them off.

If Mary Shelley was a modern musician, she would be Florence + The Machine. I will take no questions at this time.

“whatever club he’s invited to join has been devalued by the invitation”

Oh, I love this. A new species of sea anemone was discovered recently that parks itself on top of a hermit crab shell like a hat. It seems to feed partly off the crab's faeces, but it also excretes a hard shell that extends the crab's home. In return, it's carried around the seafloor like a king.

A nap will never hurt you.

I got one more economic downturn in me. After that, it happens again, I will begin to wander the earth.

If we want to stop the kidnappings and these agents require anonymity to commit these actions, then we must remove the masks. So long as we allow masked law enforcement to terrorize people, we cannot be a democracy.

Loving today's news that the mysterious "fedora man" outside the Louvre heist was actually a 15-year-old museum visitor who dresses like a 1940s French detective all the time, just because. apnews.com/article/louv...

For the love of all things holy, please spin the new Mavis Staples and let these prayers pour into your bones, you're welcome.

every sunday, from pulpits in megachurches across america, white evangelicals cry out about some imaginary persecution of christianity. but i can’t stop thinking about the pile of rosaries collected by a janitor at a border crossing or the priest turned away at the gates of the detention camp.

Acquired my 4th washing-dishes-scar today. I feel like this is a lot.

I'm tired of being the bigger person. Just once, I want to be the smaller person, tiny enough to be carried around in someone's pocket, shouting petty retorts.

GBBO should never be over.

So one of the littles (my favorite tbh) gave me the best gift yesterday. I met him when he was barely two and now he is four. It was his school picture and he drew a heart on the back. This is his picture and I will treasure it FOREVER.

Mayor Danny Avula on Friday announced city officials would waive late fees on utility payments and suspend disconnections for delinquent accounts amid the ongoing federal government shutdown.

I think democrats should push for a thorough review of all Elon Musk govt contracts as part of their 2026-8 portfolio. Why are taxpayers financing the work of a racist near-trillionaire? Leaving that unexamined was one of the biggest failures of the last Dem majority.

The absolute collapse of their stupid AI ruse — hopefully followed by a massive wave of tech regulation and imprisoning the politicians who enabled this — cannot come soon enough.

omg

“What keeps us going, ultimately, is our love for each other, and our refusal to bow our heads, to accept the verdict, however all-powerful it seems. It’s what ordinary people have to do. You have to love each other. You have to defend each other. You have to fight.” —Mike Davis

say it with me: full beaver super moon

ah, perhaps instead of pumping millions into endless factional infighting Dem donors could invest in making local Dem organizations genuine civic spaces that can reach people during and between elections

Democrats are currently ahead in 63 (!!!) races in the Virginia House of Delegates. If this holds, it would be one of the largest state legislature swings in the last 4 years. Its an absolute bloodbath for anti-trans Republicans.

Transgender for everyone!

Let’s do this

LIB TF OUT

We all can LIB THE FUCK OUT tonight.

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

A seeming bit of history tonight as Ghazala Hashmi becomes the first Asian American to win statewide office in Virginia - and the first Muslim woman to win statewide office *anywhere* in the United States.

New: The FBI is quietly urging ICE agents to properly ID themselves in the field. In a bulletin to law enforcement last month, it warned of criminals posing as ICE to rob, rape, kidnap—a problem it says now demands national coordination to confront. By me & @carolinehaskins.bsky.social:

The latest Florence + The Machine is really, really good.

sometimes i want to be taken care of like some stupid stray dog bruh

Dick Cheney Was Doing War Crimes in Exactly the Right Way, by Ezra Klein.

It's gonna be a good day for Democracy.

We’re in a strange limbo where secret police are routinely beating, disappearing, and shooting everyday people in public, but they’ve not yet consolidated enough power to stop us from talking about it on social media. That imbalance prob can’t last. Either we roll them back or this gets rolled up .

RIP legend! Her lipstick scene in Wild At Heart was a thing of beauty.

I really love this Vincent Van Gogh quote: "To do good work one must eat well, be well housed, have one's fling from time to time, smoke one's pipe, and drink one's coffee in peace." No romanticizing the starving artist. Van Gogh said UBI all the way.

Jay Jones by four. What do y'all think?

Palate cleanse. Some humans are terrible, but more of us are great.

A truly wonderful time with the family. It may take me a week to process my feelings, but I am deeply grateful we had the time.
