March Hares, Vicky Yeates, 2012.

Oh go on then. Here's one of the best to ever do it, truly extraordinary. I think this is her most straightforwardly-accessible album. #CountryRockSunday (even though it's Monday here) www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnOU...

Glenwood Springs Co. July 1984. photo by Mark Williams. I was apparently working on a song that became Maps & Legends. Thanks Mark!!

Thread of books on Iran's recent history and its culture, for those interested.

*Black and brown people being kidnapped and killed all over the world* “We gotta stop everything to defend a guy with a Nazi tattoo.”

This is a gentle reminder that you can toggle the option in the settings so you never forget to add alt text ever again.

My brother and his partner are expecting a baby girl and there’s been a discussion of names. My mother brought up my great aunt, who she loved dearly: Exerene, a name I love also. Exerene practiced poetic recitation, memorizing and performing poetry. We’ll see but my fingers are crossed.

I don't care where you as an individual choose to post. I would like you to just stop talking about it, lol.

Find the trans groups and people in your communities who need support and support them. This is everyone's job now. You are called.

Beloved, may we invite one another into drawing forth ancestral blessings that build our diverse and amazing present and future together on this planet #eveningprayer #chaliceextinguishing #uu

The other thing is Maine is still experiencing a lot of kidnappings and that’s not getting the attention it should either

A lot of dunking on Klein (in ways that I think go way too far) for this post and I agree that Platner’s Nazi stuff has to be acknowledged. I also see why he’s confusing in a way because he’s been vocal about supporting Maine’s POC. He thinks he can maintain a tent that big. He can’t.

Louisiana residents this week will be treated to a selenelion total lunar eclipse, a rarer phenomenon than other lunar eclipses.

The Beatles on Bourbon, New Orleans

the authoritarian left position of "pretend this complicated thing is simple or you are a counter-revolutionary" is why i will always be an anarchist

starting obscure policy fights on bluesky just to feel something other than existential dread about wwiii don't @ me

For the last time I’m taking a Nazi seriously because he has a sixteen point plan for the working class that checks out. I know enough about him not to need to further investigate. We all do. So stop carrying water for white supremacy with this collective suspension of disbelief. It’s just gross.

lol the perfect lip sync has been posted on the feed like 47 times already, love is alive and well

Folks get in trouble because they think they have to decide what will *resonate* with working-class people [always treated as a monolith, by the way]. Unless you are a political operative, you really don't have to do this and political operatives mostly aren't good at this either.

The cut from Heated Rivalry to When Harry Met Sally for the rom-com montage at the Actor Awards really was honestly so wonderful to see.

I have said many times that if your internal barometer for Right and Wrong or whether actions are permissible is whether or not something is legal I view you as a danger to me and all around me.

NEW, from me: I talked to Aliya Rahman, who was dragged out of Tuesday's State of the Union + arrested for... standing up. Really. Rahman, who is autistic and has disabilities, was a guest of Rep. Ilhan Omar + was previously brutally detained by ICE in Minneapolis. www.huffpost.com/entry/aliya-...

I made them butch4femme tourists

Michael B. Jordan with his mom Donna Jordan on the #ActorAwards red carpet

this war on iran is senseless and appalling

Oh also once you let one guy be a Nazi who also happened to stormtroop and succeed as a left of center politician then you have to understand that there will be ten more in the following campaign & it will be much harder to stop it then

thinking of all the people desperately trying to survive and find shelter right now.

wow!

For the past couple years every time I saw an unfamiliar white boy on a red carpet I could just assume they were a White Lotus person but Heated Rivalry is turning into a real wild card

I figured this too cause Zendaya was talking to Robert Pattinson for Interview magazine ahead of their new movie and mentioned that her and Tom live together and own property together. Like them folk BEEN married

Van Jones is the Tulsi Gabbard of Shaun Kings

This season of traitors UK is so wholesome

i’m not so sure, fantasy for adults.

Today at church I sat behind a middle schooler I’ve never talked to, who spent the whole service drawing on a notepad. At the end of the hour she stood up, turned around, and showed me the drawing. “This is you as a dog,” she said

NINE GOBLINS by T. Kingfisher. Kingfisher is so good at writing a book that totally cracks you up while simultaneously revealing the core truth of human nature. This book was, as always, utterly delightful.

cher at the grammys:

when a dog is wearing a collar with little cartoon bones on it...that is Fashion

They be like well what about a teeny tiny bit of Nazi. What if he says he sorry for being a Nazi. Then has to say sorry the next time he's a Nazi. America for the love of god what's hard about NO Nazi? 0% Nazi.

Yeah, not a great sign that they're just going to be experimenting on trans inmates like this and it's not a big story.

Some people get mad when I say that most people don't actually know what to do so you have to offer ideas for what people can do. But I remain right about this.

Seth Rogen accepting Catherine O’Hara’s posthumous award for Outstanding Actress in a Comedy Series for The Studio #ActorAwards

Look, none of us are okay right now. Worth keeping in mind as you post and read posts on here tonight.

It's not a smear campaign if you *actually* have a Nazi tattoo!!!

I totally get it
