I made a choice to stay offline as much as possible today. I read some RPGs, finished building a LEGO set, played some video games, I walked my dog twice. You know what I'm going to say: it was a great choice, with no downside. I highly recommend it.

What if none of these things is a distraction from the other things and instead they're all just horrible things

This thread is keeping track of misinformation circulating about the US' attack on Venezuela. A must read!

“Once you know the truth, you can’t unknow it. What do we do when we learn that our government is mistreating detainees right in our backyard?” The Rev. Dr. Michael Woolf, Senior minister of Lake Street Church of Evanston IL, is the real deal. faithandleadership.com/i-was-slamme...

Among the many reasons you don’t kidnap a foreign head of state at gunpoint even if you have the capability, is that it sparks consequences you can neither control nor anticipate.

it's time to play America's favorite new game, 'what the fuck am I waking up to now'

Remember how appalled we all were in 2022 when Russia completely unprovoked attacked Ukraine? That is what we’re doing tonight with Venezuela. We are the bad guys here. Everyone who supports this is supporting unprovoked murder. Fuck every last one of them

I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war

So fmr Honduran President Hernandez voluntarily surrendered, and was duly extradited, tried and convicted for drug trafficking, and Trump pardoned him 6w ago. And this morning, Trump illegally attacks Venezuela and abducts its president and his wife purportedly to try them for drug trafficking.

A Mad King has usurped the power of Congress—which represents the American people. That is, he has seized power that belongs to you and me collectively. He has declared war without consultation with or approval from Congress. And with no imminent threat. This is a profound betrayal of the republic.

To sum up, a US president is going to war without congressional authorization against a sovereign nation that has not attacked or threatened it, and is doing so like a thief in the night, with no explanation for the American people or the world. It is all so unimaginable that it strains credulity.

jfc this is really bad! we should not be doing this!

like not to be Fox Mulder on main but now’s the time to delete your Twitter and unplug your Alexa and Ring Cam

The media doesn’t talk enough about the fact that ”Let’s Make America Great Again” was Reagan’s 1980 campaign slogan Nothing this man does is original, at all, including illegal/imperial invasions in Latin America

forget the long arc of history bending towards justice, I need the rube goldberg machine of inexorable consequence to endgame the kind of profoundly ironic yet blackly hilarious karmic downfall that would’ve had ancient greek theatergoers hollering at the chorus

Year of the Horse coming at you

Tapping the sign so hard I'm about to put a finger through it

We don't need a New You in this New Year, we just need you. You in your fullness, you in all your messy beauty, you with all your creative joy and honest heartbreak. You. You are the only you we'll ever have, and we are not us without you.

As we move into Hate Yourself Publicly Season, I also wish for us a year in which we have the courage to value ourselves for who we are & not hate ourselves for who we're not, a year in which we listen not to those who line their pockets with our insecurities, but to voices of tenderness & respect.

I’m sunk 🇺🇸📩

this is how i found out david arquette is a Certified Bob Ross Instructor, which is apparently a real thing

you don't suck at art. you're learning. you aren't an awful writer, you're still understanding how things work. You aren't horrible, you see the places in your work that have space for improvement. Even if you think your art isn't the best, you still created something and you should be proud of that

Reminder: You are growing at your own pace. You are allowed to ask for what you need. You are safe and surrounded by love and support. You are valued and helpful. You belong here, and you deserve to take up space. You are worthy of love and respect. I'm proud of you

It’s officially Denver’s hottest Christmas on record: 70° for a high breaks the old daily record of 69° (2005). #COwx

ONLY YULE

To me, my X-Mas!

🎄 Merry Christmas! It won't exactly feel like Christmas, with a Denver high near 70°. That'll make this our hottest Christmas on record (69°, 2005). Turning breezy in the afternoon with a few clouds. 🍃 Fire danger in the foothills tomorrow with gusty 40-60 mph winds. #COwx

Die Hard is indeed a Christmas movie! Also thanks to WHAM! for the inspiration ;) #nostalgia #80s #synthwave

Happy holidays! Probably my favorite stop-motion from the past few years. Really enjoyed creating this one.

love this movie! 🥰🎄 #scrooged www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kX6...

‘Tis the season…

Reminder: Mistakes don't mean failure. Mistakes don't define you. You're allowed the grace of imperfection. You are able to find lessons in your losses. You use failure as a stepping stone to success. All problems have solutions. Obstacles are the foundation of your success. I'm proud of you

Flock sees you when you're sleeping Flock knows when you're awake Flock knows if you've been bad or good So be good for goodness sake

The long nights are over, the Light begins its journey home

Blessed Yule to all who celebrate. May the longest night of the year renew your strength and restore your peace.

Let's buy a holiday gift for EVERY child in Denver's public housing. Even $5 helps. You've raised $40,000 so far. No child should go without a gift this holiday season. Thank you for your generosity!

I'm going to make beautiful things to combat the ugly things. There are days I fight. Today, I create during a destructive time. Getting by looks different every day right now.

Olive's Hanukkah gift this year is a scratch off reveal of drawings of our adventures, and I am posting this here because it is a great last minute gift if you are an artist.

President Trump thinks he can intimidate Colorado by shuttering NCAR. It’s political retribution, Senator John Hickenlooper and I won’t stand for it. We are holding up the appropriations package to demand NCAR is fully funded. Read our full statement here:

Ethan has made some of the most beautiful looking and beautifully told stories on my book shelf and I am RAVENOUS for more of Sable. Read this and then go buy his graphic novels.

One kidn of funny side effect of the advent of bots is now when someone is annoying to me online I just assume it's not a person. Like I'm not gonna get mad at a traffic cone.

President Trump is delivering on his promise of retribution against Colorado for the state's mail-in ballots and refusal to release his ally Tina Peters from prison. The Trump team says it plans to close America's foremost weather lab: NCAR. @marshallglasses.bsky.social reports.
