VERY. GROUCHY. HERON. 🦉

The Washington State University Cougar Marching Band freakin' played Trogdor at their halftime show this weekend! And made ME! My husky head finally gets its due! 50 freakin' yards high man!

“I’m not a master jewel thief, I’m just a kid” has to be the greatest jewel thief coverup story of all time.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

In honor of sandwich guy getting out of his legal pickle, here is the original video synced with Freedom - George Michael 1990.

There’s no reason ever again for any Democrat to suggest moderating on trans rights. There was never a moral reason but now there’s no political reason either. Somebody tell Gavin Newsom and Pete Buttigieg. it’s joe-ver.

I love photos like this. There’s nothing going on, really, someone just saw her and said “Oh she's SO PRETTY. I have to take a picture.” From my collection, 1959.

If you're mad about Daylight Saving Time, you could blame Benjamin Franklin, who first suggested the practice in 1784. His cheeky theory was that if people rose with the summer sun, they wouldn’t have to buy so many candles. Let your lower paraffin bills comfort you today.

Everything in the world sucks and I would like to go back to only paying attention to Big Brother.

Good lord police you're looking for someone who robbed an art museum the guy is RIGHT THERE

Went to a cute holiday boutique held by the local woman’s club and brought home some new friends. Not pictured are the super soft dinosaur leggings I also bought. The squares are stickers a local artist made using their own work.

Hope folks feel less alone today, that people join with others to take further and deeper actions, and that everyone fights like hell to protect those most vulnerable to this regime.

Just when I’m on the verge of giving up on humanity, people have the nerve to go out there and be creative, funny, brave, and beautiful.

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states. Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

Without downloading anything where are you at mentally right now?

All those thinkpieces about the "collapse" of this place and yet here they come....

US Government accounts have arrived on Bluesky. Block on sight. Protect your digital space. Be aware that the DHS account in particular is known to quote dunk on regular people to encourage their followers to harass them. The detach quote function will come in very handy here…

They are arriving because of the mass mobilizations and they have figured out that Twitter isn't going to be the main space to monitor activity.

every day is vacillating between everything matters too much and lol nothing matters

Trump is now going after Jack Smith. You know who seems safe from his retribution: Merrick Garland. Because he did JACK SHIT. Trump not being pissed at him is, low key, an indictment of his entire tenure.

Hey Grodner what's this about? We not cool? #bbsky

I might not find some political activism that compelling but I try to keep in mind Kwame Ture's point: "You don't criticize somebody who's doing something when you doing nothing."

look at this absolute robber baron

May I offer you a borb in these trying times? 🪶

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

I am eating the most ridiculously expensive (lol Boy Scouts) bag of kettle corn in existence. I'm never complaining about the cost of Girl Scout cookies again.

Because I know how much you guys love carpeted toilet accessories. Photo from my collection, 1972.

You don’t understand!!! Her closest ally was taken out by a bs elimination twist and then her and Will couldn’t even play in the HOH comp to protect themselves so she lost both of them back to back then she made it to the end and won the final HOH after not winning a comp since week ONE #bb27

Literally NOTHING was in Ashley’s favor this season. She FORCED the game to bend to her will and didn’t let herself give up for even one second. She knew what was happening at ALL times and knew exactly what to say to get her points embedded in people’s brains. A genius, a masterclass #bb27

Winning ONLY a veto and then parts 2 and 3 of the final HOH comp then winning the game is so fucking iconic! #bb27

i know morgan deserved to win as well but i’m glad ashley won because it really highlights productions failures on another level. i just want this show to be big brother again so badly and production needs to hit their rock bottom before they will change. idk if this is it but they look bad #bb27

I am not home but just checked the skyline and I am so hype about my girl Ashley. The last hope of my draft coming through with the W!!! #bb27

#bb27 is the only show that dares to ask the question what if an emotionally manipulative man who was once forced to dress as an egg got into a cheatmance with the most beautiful woman casting could find who does not have an off switch and trapped them for 80 days with undercover elle woods

Taylor, Cirie and America all being pro-Ashley is doing something for me 🥹 #bb27

whatever happens tomorrow, MAD PROPS to Ashley for being on her own with no real confidante since Rachel & Will left ages ago, and especially for putting up with Vince & Morgan this week 🙌

🔎END OF SEASON, REPOST & LIKE If You're Team CHANTILLY/VERSAILLES! #BB27

from soft bullying to soft evicting #bb27

most people in ashley's position would accept being second if they were up against morgan in the finale, and yet, she prepares and she fights. THAT is why i love her so much. #bb27

Ashley thinking of all Morgan’s arguments and having responses for it OH MY GOD THIS IS SO GOOD #bb27

I am 100% #RachelforAFP but I think it would have been so much more "enjoyable" if CBS had coded the vote site to have a different ad each day. Because to be honest I am now actively rooting against all the featured players in the current ad. (lol like i'm even gonna watch that show) #BB27

the way ashley having toilet paper in her pants for the third time is less embarrassing than everything that comes out of vince's mouth #bb27

as we head into the last couple of days i just want to say again how much i've enjoyed being here with all of you fine, beautiful people for our first season of #bbsky it wouldn't have been the same without this place, and i had such a fun summer talking shit y'all are the best 💞 #BB27

I love how half my timeline is crashing out over the jury segment and the other half is all WHY ARE YOU BELIEVING THE EDIT NOW?!?! #BB27

Let me be clear: Morgan is a deserving great winner for this season and I’m rooting for her. However, Ashley winning part 3 and cutting Morgan…and then Julie announcing that to the jury as Morgan walks on stage would hit like crack #bb27

it's truly remarkable that no matter how hard production tries to turn this game into something it shouldn't be the houseguests find a way to make compelling, interesting things happen. Wish production would just get out of the way and let the players play #bb27

#BB27 Team Ashley - I take out Morgan and I'm the BB27 winner - How iconic would it be if I won the first comp and the last comp?

my lawyer will be fucking eating that part 3. you’re telling me she needs to remember the facts and evidence correctly in front of the jury? oh babyyyy wrap it tf up #bb27

Ashley has been a constant thorn in vinny's side for 80 days and i fucking LOVE her for it 😭 #bb27
