Every time Kim Davis loses in court, an angel comes out of the closet

How will I fire my pottery? I don’t know, yet! But I did make my first ever pinch pot this weekend and shaped a whole herd of spindle whorls.

IT IS TIME FOR BLUESKY RECIPE POSTING do you have a cheap, healthy, low-cost recipe? post it here! or quote tweet this post. or dunk on me for something I don't care just post easy meals that people can make right now.

I also make a lemon pasta that consists of spaghetti in a pot or pan, with about 1 - 1/2 inch of water on top (have some handy in case it cooks off because this measurement depends on the pan dimensions) and the juice of 1/2 a lemon. Bring to boiling and then reduce, letting the pasta cook in the

One of my favorite, cheap and filling and flavorful Winter meals: -Chopped or sliced cabbage -can of tomatoes -can of garbanzo beans -spices (I usually do turmeric, paprika, red pepper, etc.) -olive oil Mix it all up and put it in a baking dish in the oven at 400° F for 45 min, top with feta.

Money given to the Democrats isn't just wasted, it does active harm. Donate directly to people in need or grassroots, local orgs doing measurable good.

Apparently I am abundant with correct assessments, and must only deal with the occasional quibble over my statements about how quetzalcoatlus takes off.

I’ve been trying to start a fight on this site for over a year now, here goes: Wendy’s fries are better than McDonalds.

Other than the fact that an actor from a lot of John Waters’ movies once tried to nonconsensually smooch me, but that’s not that interesting, in the end.

About the only mysteries are my speculations on various celebrities’ sexualities and gender identities, and you won’t get those out of me with any amount of alcohol unless you’re in some super specific group chats.

Part of the reason I think there isn’t as much pressure around stopping ChatGPT re: suicide/psychosis as compared to stuff like Panera Lemonade is because people are inclined to blame it on mental illness versus the tech, a kind of victim-blaming mentality that fits neatly into just world fallacy

I’d do a “I’ve had mezcal and it’s been a long couple of weeks so AMA” but I think in all the ways that matter I’m an open book on here, so . . .

A few weeks ago I zoomed with a group of high school students and their adult mentor to discuss taking social action. I am thrilled to report that this group of 10 students raised $10,000 in two weeks to support their local food pantry. They sent me a photo and it has them all jumping and I tear up.

It’s time to live another day as a radical extremist with unpopular opinions, like that all humans deserve food, healthcare, bodily autonomy, civil rights, a home, and clean air.

Maybe it’s the Mezcal talking, but then again maybe the future is in Universal Basic Income, Landback, and reparations.

Geology is responsible for Frankenstein, but so is privilege. (In addition to the most goth and badass queen who has maybe ever lived, but still, without the first two things we still don’t get Frankenstein.)

Wands are drop spindles. Took me until making my own drop spindle to realize this, but of course! The reason “spinsters” are called as such is because women who developed the skill to spin thread were able to make enough money they didn’t have to marry. That’s some powerful magic.

You don’t beat abusive, controlling people by trying to play chess better than them. They will win every time. You win by refusing to play games. By caring for people. By standing firmly in what is right. By turning away from the chess board over and over again.

I have a hard and fast rule about not sharing substack links, but if you want to understand the strategy behind what Justice Jackson did in issuing a administrative stay with a 48 hour deadline re SNAP, do a little searching. Don’t just be like “I can’t believe she did that.” She had a reason.

I think we’re all feeling a little too called out by this today.

Aw shit, it’s that time again. In light of Link’s continued unjust banning, I am once again doing Fund Me Friday. Drop your links below and be sure to check the previous post for unmet needs. Also, y’all should check out other posts that take up Link’s good work.

I made a copper pennancular brooch for my shawls. 💚 (Bronze! Age! Crafting! Era!)

Now contemplating what I’d put on a sandwich called “the acquittal”. Should it be cold-cuts, or should we put it in a panini press? Or maybe just grill it? Obviously, mustard and onions are essential. (Mmmm, let’s pickle the onions with some hot peppers!) I feel like arugula would be grand.

It’s been a roller coaster of a time, these past nine months. This is your friendly reminder that this is a marathon. Take your meds, drink some water, and find joy where you can. 💚

And FYI, Tanith is the novelist Neil Gaiman has been convincingly accused of extensively plagiarizing at worst, & being "strongly inspired by" at best. So if that dude is understandably ruined for you... why not get That Good Shit from the source, for a change? www.goodreads.com/list/show/73...

Does anyone know what happened to the non-verbal (deaf?) man that ICE kidnapped in Chicago today? Is there a fund? www.instagram.com/reel/DQvBER7...

Sandwich guy says none of us are free until all of us are free!

Without food stamps I don't have enough to eat or pay my bills. Im struggling and need any help I can get. I've been looking for jobs but no one is hiring. Plz help out a trans girl in need. Times are so hard right now. 💗🏳️‍⚧️ cash.app/$melancholic... venmo.com/code?user_id...

someone got indicted on the basis of “transporting antifa materials” for allegedly transporting a box of ZINES THEY’RE PROSECUTING PEOPLE FOR DOMESTIC TERRORISM OVER ZINES

For Trans Awareness Month, I invite you to be aware of trans authors That's more than just clever wordplay! There are so many amazing trans authors who are unknown outside their small corners of the community. Readers are missing out on some of the best work on the virtual stands today!

A drop-spindle whorl is taking shape!

If you see this post egg (From the part of the internet where my first conclusion is @julialepetit.bsky.social must’ve started this chain, and this must be the desired result.)

Reposting because, and I say this with love, some of you are going to see this and go “oh shit, I need to check my bottle” and then immediately forget about it so if this could affect you, go check right now before you even scroll to the next post, I mean it.

Pretty sure cats domesticated themselves just for the tuna.

In this triumphant Trans Awareness Month, I invite you to be aware of my trans books about cool trans women

I think today is a *beautiful* day to call Republican reps if you have them and tell them to get back to work and pass funding for the government, including extending healthcare tax credits. I know I did!

I went out into the forest, I dug up some clay, I processed it over the course of a week, and now! I have earth to make with.

Book reviewers of bluesky! Where y'all at? Got a book (by me) Y'all might wanna check out. 👀

Blah blah blah men…Young women are ready to set the country on fire

I gotta give it up to the writers tho. If NYC elects a Muslim mayor on the day Dick Cheney died, that is one hell of a slow played story arc. Every time you want to fire 2025's writers room they give you a little narrative resolution as a treat.

That was a subway sandwich, that man didn’t smell mustard and onions, all he could’ve smelled was that stuff Subway uses instead of bread.

Trans girls America 🤝 Happy to finally get rid of dick

Please, between Sandwich Testimony and Cheney he deserves to be here for this!!!

I don’t know how a song about Rasputin can be for lesbians, but my local lesbian just confirmed that this cover of “Rasputin” is.
