I've been trying to get the news out about Peter Thiel since he went after Gawker Media, and I found out about his antidemocratic and misogynist beliefs. He's evil, crazy, and has sufficiant wealth to force reality into his preferred shape.

This woman has contributed more to the value of American Citizenship than every member of both Trump administrations.

Garry Trudeau was mocking Trump's deeply pathetic & narcissistic need to name things after himself 38 yrs ago. 11.2088 - Trump renames himself after himself. And the Kennedy Center will retain its rightful, legal name long after the GOP pretends they never really supported him all that much.

I can't unsee this and now neither can you

For later reference purposes.

Finally got to Capitol Lake on the one clear day in two weeks, with no piles of dirty foam from the barely-fallen and half-decomposed leaves. There are all the usual waterfowl, although it's been so warm the swans were almost a month later than the past two years.

This is cool. Shows relative sizes of everything from DNA, to a bumblebee, to a human, to a blue whale neal.fun/size-of-life/

More evidence that Trump does not listen to nor understand a word that comes out of his mouth

I need to be clear, here, I had two babies in this place, in a new house, where we'd been robbed of a load of stuff from our first house so not much cluttler. I had them in the spring, when nobody expects any work except gardening, which I do anyway. Winter babes are a different matter. Draw a tree?

Beatrice, Grandma, and Wesley on Beatrice's second birthday, when Walter was born 2 years, one hour, and five minutes later than his big sister.

I am disgusted and enraged by the cruelty that this orange monster has normalized, and I've never hated anyone as much as I hate him.

Evil sonzabitches need out of my state.

There is not a single job this guy is suited for, and yet, here he is, president. Really the all time greatest at failing upwards.

#Finland will begin to #Russia - proof its rail network, integrate with EU train infrastructure. The Finnish government has announced the conversion of its rail network from Russian gauge (1,524 mm) to European standard (1,435 mm). www.trenvista.net/en/news/flas...

Anyone who's worried about whether anyone is having babies should have gone to the baby shower last night: Organized by two childless Aunties, attended by four Grandmas and two Grandpas, two married couples and two single mothers, and five children from 2 to 10.

Reposting this moment of sheer perfection so I can find it in moments of imperfection.

B-day minus seven: my daughter-in-law will be induced with a boy baby a week from tomorrow and my granddaughter will be two a day later. There will then be two elders, a happily married couple, and their toddler and newborn in a 1568 sq ft mobile home. Old style, folks.

AH! Hit the wrong button. My first reaction to yesterday's announcement is to wonder if Gero and friends realize that it really hasn't slipped the bonds of fandom by waiting this long.

the new stargate series should hire me as a feminist killjoy scifi worldbuilding consultant

we should feed everybody actually all the time there is no reason for anyone to be hungry and/or homeless

What??

I have a critical piece of knowledge for those of us finding out way up and down the Puget-Willamette trough. Apparently it is possible to become an Uber driver in Portland without knowing where Union Station is, so if you have a train to catch, leave really rarly.

Back in the olden days, when I wasn't always sleep deprived, I used to watch late-night comedy shows. Now I subscribe to Greg Mitchell's Rock and a Hard Place with all kinds of stuff which I would miss. This in particular is just a nice mindful meditation on farming. youtu.be/OQRF_4-zGSk?...

Will the Epstein files be spun as titillating revelations or recognized as evidence that misogyny & mass sexual exploitation of women are POLITICAL, linking antidemocratic politics globally? Depends whether men with big platforms decide to connect the dots. Women have been screaming into the void.

Fiction has to at least make sense on some level for the audience to buy in. Reality isn't constrained by that requirement.

Great Egret, Lacey Community Park, where the weather was kind and the playground was full of small humans.

Being a Sonics fan when Lenny Wilkins was on the roster was a different kind of fandom; first we thought of other players as whether or not they new when to throw the ball to Lenny, and later whether they understood his coaching style.

Gotta find this outfit before my Grandson gets himself born...

Let’s begin our Sunday morning with a positive and uplifting vibe Music is Power What Did the Blackbird Say to the Crow Thanks for recognizing the power of field recordings and the music of our ancestors-pure and unadulterated.

It's autumn all right; we're on our third Atmospheric River and the fields are finally green after ten inches of rain. It hasn't frozen yet, but the Golden Crowned Sparrows have come down the river and 40 of them have shown up in our yard as they do every year, the winter #birds

ATA This is a You Tube video of an anti-trump song; there's a "play" button in the center of the screen.

This picture reminds me of the ocean highway between Elma and Aberdeen, back before the Whole Herd Buy-out evicted all the Holsteins.

HAPPY FOUR SEASONS TOTAL LANDSCAPING DAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE

Another non-ALT repost, a golden hour picture of a very young woman in a dance/gymnastics pose suspended in a tubing and acrylic martini glass, right leg stretched high above her head, at a door to Mar a Lago. Where does one go to hire the glass and the dancer? How depraved is West Palm Beach?

all the people who lent Andrew Cuomo the money to get his ass beat a second time this year.......thank you, without you he might have slunk off quietly instead of subjecting himself to this epochal embarrassment

So rarely I go to block someone and find they've blocked me instead. Amazing what one off-hand poast will do.
