Fuck ICE.

Maybe they don't even realize that they make your day. All the more reason to tell them.

There’s a big hawk up there, circling, and the crows are shouting from the trees.

I get kind of sad when people say they appreciate me standing up for what I believe in. If you appreciate it, don’t leave me to do it alone

I keep a sharpened letter opener in the car in case of unexpected mail

Regularly hoping I’m wrong about things

It’s like watching people sort through a breakup with a guy who turned out not to be who they had imagined. Some don’t believe it, some still defending him, a lot of anger at the people who brought the issues to light.

No moon, just smoke

There are principled people who mean what they say.

I reserve most of my opinions and I hope you can’t tell who I’m rooting for. 😝

I’m glad that’s over and I’ll vote for any of them over Collins. I hope dems pick a good winner.

Wow. Strong storms came through today. So sad to hear someone was killed. 😞

Okay! Group Two! Here we go!

What is Graham Platner’s best idea? As the first question? Yeesh. His best idea was dropping out and I’m pretty sure it wasn’t his idea to begin with. Great platform, though. Mostly.

Recorded or written human history spans just under 5,000 years Or about 16 oak trees, 62 humans or 500 squirrels

This is the Strait that leads to the Suez Canal. So effectively it’s The Ever Given but with missiles and depending on Trump to get it fixed.

you magnificent being you

I pulled in just after midnight and she flew out the front door with her black eye and birth certificate and cat. She was ready. I brought her to her mom’s a few towns over. I drove back home, and she went back to him within the week. I hope we get to try again soon.

A special treasure for me in the mailbox today. Thank you, @joncarling.bsky.social !! Brightened my day right up.

Sheets of seaweed instead Nori nori nori nori nori

Andrea Gibson evening.

Lilies and long leaves, a mess of them, summer in Maine.

Andrea Gibson morning.

When people support ICE killing people in the street even after it has been reported that the person was not involved in any illegal activity they are “not raising questions about immigration laws” they are cheering on racist hit squads.

Every body is yours until I see the reporting. There are so many lately.

turns out the cure for male loneliness might be invasive species control

Useful reminder for folks heading out tonight. Know your rights.

I will bring flowers from my garden to the vigil.

Orange daylilies, emigrants from China hundreds of years ago, are blooming in my backyard and all over Maine. They mark old gardens long after the gardeners and even the gardens and houses they ornamented have vanished. In China they are called xuan cao: “forgetting sadness”.

do I want to learn about the Maine Senate hopefuls for the blitz round? absolutely not am I going to? yes, inevitably as the grave

New dinosaur just dropped.

The AI answers to queries and summaries of texts that are everywhere online seem less like an automated general intellect and more like a digitized "das man"; a vague spectre of "they said" is everywhere, leveling curiosity in its anonymous authority.

I'm been wondering if it would come to this and apparently it has. huge move from cloudflare, which hosts a fifth of all websites on earth.

And sometimes, their soul just pulls at yours.

If you’re struggling, horrified &/or angry with the surge in acceptance of misogynistic behavior, I see you, I stand with you If you’re surprised this type of thing happens, think it doesn’t happen around you, ask around, believe women It’s never a bad time to start doing better, to become an ally

People talking about how she said Yes before saying No should be reminded that consent can be rescinded at any time. That should not be confusing.

Be principled.

Flowers still blooming. We can do this.

My sister thinks I’ve fallen for a smear campaign orchestrated by the establishment.

In other news: Susan Collins is the 99th most popular senator in the United States with home state voters. Only Mitch McConnell has worse numbers. tinyurl.com/bd9fv7yw #MEpolitics

Good morning from ME. We await the rain and the Platner fall out.

Visceral pattern recognition. I feel relief, and the same sadness.

The intersection of hyper-masculinity and authoritarianism, the glorification of militarism, the marginalization of women, the parade of patriarchal red flags. Who are we willing to accept, who are we willing to sacrifice.

I am convinced the world is beautiful.

I named all of my devices 8647 and I hope deranged people get mad about it

I’m getting a new library card today and I am excited about it 😊
