“How much is a magical world worth?” A beautiful thread about Cabo Verde, the Peace Corps, and the World Cup:

Rough day. Have a tree frog.

Today is my mother's birthday. Gonna be a tough one.

You want to know what's really weird, post caregiving? Thinking Of My Future. I never got to do that before. I was stuck in a fraught present with a future too scary to imagine. Now that future's come and gone and I have a new one, all my own.

I get the feeling that Kurt Vonnegut would be pleased to know I think of his asshole drawing every time I see this company.

We regret that our event on Extreme Heat: Improving governance and strengthening action around the world has been cancelled due to the red extreme heat warning issued by the UK Met Office. Our apologies to everyone who was planning to attend the event.

This is huge!!

I stole this from the Worldcup subreddit because it makes a very good point.

Hello everyone, I started a fundraiser on GoFundMe and would appreciate your support. Every single share and donation makes a difference and helps me get closer to my goal. gofund.me/ce7695f4e

A+ Reddit post

me opening a tube of Pillsbury biscuits, braced for the cardboard pop like a dog on the Fourth of July: I am God’s strongest soldier

Well, that was a fucking ride.

I still have some @wmnf.org tshirts from the eighties and early nineties, I think.

This is wonderful. This page turns New York into a massive, zoomable, SimCity-style pixel art map. You can explore the city block by block: streets, skyscrapers, parks, waterfronts, bridges and neighbourhoods. A beautiful rabbit hole for map nerds: buff.ly/c1l59di

Now they're fighting... the Weather Channel

Thee reason many Western Europeans don't believe North Americans (including Canadians!) when we say our weather is not something to fuck with is tied to New World degeneracy theory. It's from the 18th century from a dude who never set foot here and posits everything in the New World is weaker.

Hey if you're disgusted with the bigoted bullshit of the SF Giants and their Trump donor owner, but you still want to love baseball, with my whole heart, may I recommend the @oaklandballers.bsky.social.

It's really apparent after just a little bit of Scaffold Video how much the new letters don't match the original ones. I can only hope that was done on purpose.

I hope they take the letters down in such a way that O LD RUMP is left up there for a while.

Took Josie to the vet. She has another gnarly ear infection, raised liver enzymes, and some worrisome lumps and bumps. She's fourteen with a heart murmur, I am not putting her through surgery to remove them. My job now is to make sure the rest of her life is as good as the past parts have been.

Remembering the 49 #PulseNightclub victims 10 years later.

Like, the “choose all squares with cars” captchas have always felt iffy and now like. It seems reasonable to just assume that all data of potential use that we generate can & will be used by/sold to state & commercial forces of violence.

I had to draw the special boy

I cannot believe the gall of my electric company. They've hiked rates for two years straight because of this.

More old nature photos today. Horseshoe crab orgy season.

Your periodic reminder that SS has been pilfered to pay for forever wars, and that if it were simply repaid the money it is owed by taxing the rich, it would be absolutely fine. Remember this

And to prove it could take good pictures too, here's an egret.

This thread is a hoot and a half. The best art! Bless their little cotton socks.

Old old OLD photo. Shot it at the side of a retention pond with my first digital camera.

Every time some one says "why don't Americans rise up?" they put disrespect on everyone who rose up for George Floyd, Brianna Taylor, Eric Garner and Mike Brown, Palestine encampments, LA Portland Chicago and MPLS last year, the anti-fascists who defeated the alt right, Occupiers, No DAPL warriors,

Without downloading new pics, What is it like to date or be married to you

Odalisque.

Today a 94 year old woman rolled up to us in her car while we were making the mural, asked if we were single, and when we said yes, said “That’s right. Not every cat needs kittens”. Uh, right on sister.

what are we uhhh what are we stopping from coming out here

assaulting a woman is a minor vice, scolding a man is unforgivable

A story I love about Anthony Stewart Head. Thank you to this person for sharing it on Tumblr. What a mensch.

I will say from now until eternity that sexual violence is *core* to the fascist project. Scratch a Totenkamf tattoo, find a guy who's okay hitting and raping women

Oh no, Giles.

Happy Pride to all my fellow aces out there too. Sometimes it's hard and confusing to be us but we are valid and important too. Love you all

My crankiest old man take is that referring to all art/entertainment/journalism/criticism/comedy/advertising as “content” helped pave the way for broad-ish acceptance of AI slop.

To this day this is the only pride month art I've ever done, or ever needed really. 😎 (2022)

I do this. I don't look at my audible stats because it's all the same five or so Pratchett books.

This pride month, if you’re not plugged in, please take a moment to think about what you specifically can do to support trans kids under attack. I get asked all the time about steps people can take, so I hope at least one person takes this to heart. I’ll be adding throughout June. A thread.🧵

Repost the Leather Dachshund from Seattle Pride 1991 to be blessed this Pride Month!
