1/ The products people chose and support, make a difference. Product often informs me about a person. Sometimes it's more subtle than 'Cybertruck owners are assholes'. I was looking at an arts residency in the Southwest US, near me (2 hour drive away, In an area known for militias & Trumpers).

1/ #ThriftFinds When new, polyester cone thread is not cheap. So when I find it at Goodwill, I leap. Even rotten, it can be waxed and used for some handsewing. $12.80 for 28 cones plus 8 smaller spools.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche admited that the DOJ excluded all images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from the Epstein files release. DEATH? The truth is probably far worse than anyone can imagine. Blanche needs to be proescuted as well.

Brutal.

Yay, I just wrote my US senator about 1) this stupid war and 2) a personal experience with how US healthcare intersects with our national security. I don't expect them to do anything for me. Or about the war, or our plainly insane leader.

A Secret Service agent who doesn’t care anymore has the chance to do the funniest thing ever..

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES... 👇

Why does absolutely everything have to be a crisis? We now have to replace our kitchen door, and thanks to manufacturer nonsense, it's going to set us back well into four figures no matter which way we do it. [Hint: It won't be with them.] And we don't have it.

So much of this could have been prevented if the men in the Epstein files had been prosecuted instead of protected.

Release all the Epstein files now!

The same geniuses who think Trump, who dodged the draft five times, knows how to win a war also think Trump, who declared bankruptcy six times, knows how to run the economy. That's what Trump Derangement Syndrome actually looks like.

say what you want about South Korea, at least THEY got their president impeached and thrown in prison for trying to do some bullshit

1/ Pistachio cream icebox mini cake has to chill for 8 more hours. I used leftover cream to fill 2 Nutella lined ice cream waffle cones: one gluten free for me, one Oreo chocolate for the Mr. Dinner will be salad, rice, Galbi ribs, chicken Japchae, pot stickers, and a leftover Del Taco from lunch.

I've run out of responses. A functioning country would have already handed out life sentences so far down the line of succession that some of the verdicts would be the first time you ever heard their names.

We talk popularly talk a lot about the Latest Cretaceous, or the End-Cretaceous, but the Cretaceous *wasn't* ending over its last ten million years, or two million years, or 50,000 years. It was in no sense drawing naturally to a close. It was randomly murdered over the course of like 5 seconds

@marieparks.bsky.social Flightless looks wonderful!

Self care experiment tonight: riffing on Dubai chocolate in a way that gluten free folks can enjoy. Pamela's GF graham crackers. Whipped cream. Vanilla. Ground pistachio nuts. Nutella. Hopefully by tomorrow this icebox cake will be amazing.

Yes, T-Mobile, I have been on my phone a lot this week. Thanks for reminding me to unplug & do some embroidery.

While I understand this point, I deeply regret its necessity. I write things, I'm not a Remedial English teacher.

I've never thought Trump was funny. I've loathed him since the 1980s. I'm guilty of using nicknames because we have some evidence they get under his skin.

every day that it doesn’t happen brings us one day closer to the day that it does

This. Some of us are visible. Some are quietly jamming up the machines & building communities behind the newscasts. Just because we can't yell about it, doesn't make it less effective.

I have family members who will probably die without us ever reconciling over their support for Trump & the Billionaire Bible Bros.

I know (knew? Haven't heard from them in days) two people in Tehran. They are (I am stubbornly sticking to present tense here) harmless craftspeople bringing ancient skills into a new century. Their work is lovely. They are humans just like me. If anyone is subhuman, it's Trump & his handlers.

Most Americans have no idea what's coming next. I am barely more than an armchair analyst, but I can show you the next moves. Trump bombs Iran, using up too many of our already scant munitions (which cost a lot of $ and time to make.) Don't offer martyrdom to a culture glorifying it.

Printed these today

whoever does it is gonna be remembered for centuries and reincarnated as a lotus flower

The Blue/Brown Eyes experiment exposed the elite’s oldest weapon. Division. For centuries, the Epstein class has used this brainwashing to blind us. They’ve even fallen for it themselves—they truly despise the "human cattle." Stop fighting their wars. Eyes up. Break the cycle.

"Autistic burnout does not appear overnight. It is the result of years of surviving on a tiny buffer that was never large enough to cope with the world we are living in. It feels like you have been running on almost nothing for years" and the tank is finally empty. TY @embraceautism.bsky.social.

We may be just hours from When It Happens.

At the beginning of March, still looking for housing with less and less time to find it, being sick seems to be more and more expensive all the time. If you want and are able to help: cash.app/$grrlintersect venmo.com/u/grrlinters... www.paypal.me/dgrrl39 www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/... - [ ]

Pure joy.

reminder: if you ever see somebody stealing food, no the fuck you didnt.

There’s a lot of bad right now but this is one of the worst things I’ve ever read. There is no limit to the cruelty.

1/ #ThriftFinds Through all of this, I'm still ramping up my art & resale flip business. It's going to have to carry more weight in the future. Had another caregiver offer a respite yesterday, so I could run errands. One was a stop at a Goodwill I haven't visited in a while. A find for me to keep:

🎯🎯

Let MBS do it.

These are all horrible people and you should know them on sight.

1/ CW: terminal illness. Someone I love is going through a debilitating illness that *might* go into remission with treatment, but likely won't. We have time to make plans. Eerily enough, a workfriend went through a similar experience with her husband 3 years ago. Diagnosed with colon cancer...

Fucking hell, smart people saw it in 2016. We knew he was a figurehead, we knew who was guiding him, and how badly he could go offside. Lake of fire, Bret. Find one & jump in.

A different perspective. Always helpful.

I know the solution to MAGA. You know it too. This time, don't give the Descendants of the Confederacy a rock to crawl back under. Do it soon. Or the US becomes North Korea in a generation.

Meanwhile Prof Tim Snyder is also issuing warnings about the same.

1/ After 2 years on Instagram (for an art residency chat group) I can say this: At least 80% of the goods, products, & services I've seen advertised there are fake and/or substandard. The winners were Koriderm skin lotion (it works!), Humby solid bar shampoo (it works!), Madame Sew fabric art...

Linkedin is nothing but that distilled energy of the person who wants to be the first to ask a softball question to the leadership team at a town hall. A billion Smithers.

The 25th amendment exists for a reason. This madman is the reason. This post is the reason. @SpeakerJohnson and @LeaderJohnThune, call Congress back into session today. Do your fucking jobs and defend America from this demented and deranged lunatic.

The current moment in tech is loosely understood as software guys getting so evil they made hardware guys discover Marxism from first principles.

1/ Painted Tree Boutiques is opening a big craft mall near me. I applied to be a vendor, *then* went researching. 1 year contact very expensive for a 7x10 foot booth ($460/month, with a $176 security deposit.) No marketing, no vendor maps in store, high employee turnover, massive theft problem.
