If you're in Jersey, please call @kim.senate.gov, thank him for standing up at Delaney, and tell him to join the call to ABOLISH ICE ENTIRELY. You can reach him at (202) 224-4744 or you can send an email using this form: www.kim.senate.gov/contact/

Thank you for standing up, senator. Please call for the total abolition of ICE. We never needed this agency and our democracy cannot tolerate it now that it's become a lawbreaking tool of fascists.

Writing advice: If you're stuck, the best thing to do is put it aside and go back to it cold. If you're still stuck, read it aloud. If you're still stuck, retype the whole freakin' section out again. The whole chapter if you need to, word for word. Your brain will nope out on the problem.

Nobody here needs me to tell them not to do this but Jesus Christ in a Cadillac do not do this.

Got a house! My free time is spoken for, likely for 1-2 months, then I'll resume posting. Billing for Patrons is pausing accordingly.

it's very nice to think that we can fix the country and save democracy by playing nice and hoping our fascist pedophile president feels bad and starts playing by the rules but unfortunately that doesn't appear to be happening

This is part of why I've started just saying fascist instead of rightwing in most cases It's not diluting the concept of fascism or using it flippantly, it's my attempt to illustrate what I see as an entire political movement meant to empower the most selfish and evil impulses humans are capable of

Law enforcement agencies stop collaborating with ICE difficulty level: impossible Wildlife agencies in particular need to be building community connections and trust!

there's a cybertruck parked in front of my office where I can see it from my desk and i'm like, get that shit out of here before people think we allow cybertruck owners here

Well there ain't no party like a BLOODWORK LATER TODAY party cos a BLOODWORK LATER TODAY party means you can't eat breakfast! wait

I continue to call on the Speaker to bring Congress back into session immediately to vote to end this war, and I call on my colleagues in Congress and the members of the Cabinet to impeach the President or remove him from office via the 25th Amendment.

this is the way

You can't open windows in space, but you can on Earth.

Trump should STILL be impeached. If you agree, please call your rep and senators AGAIN and tell them. gregpak.net/2026/04/07/t...

Hey Bluesky, I could use some help spreading the word about my Big Cartel shop. Each of my creatures is designed and hand-sewn by me, and takes many hours to create. jeremycreature.bigcartel.com

13 LGBTQIA artists, we sling jewels, talk sumo sometimes, and try to curate a fun place where rocks are better to talk about than dystopia. Just saying.
