the thing that should be obvious from the GOP's sudden blitz of insisting that James Talarico is secretly a vegan or eats meat in an unmanly way is that the goalpost for what these people consider acceptable is a constantly shifting goalpost and you will always be on the wrong side of it.

Congratulations to @nettelhorstbikebus.org for finishing out their fourth year getting kids to school by bike! We were so honored to get to drop by to document their last ride of the year. Video coming soon!

Girl has found so many more of these spotted lantern fly nymphs. She's probably neutralized 40 or 50 of them in the last 6 days since she posted asking what it was. We are going to have a really bad summer- we are going to be completely overwhelmed with spotted lantern flies.

These little shits are crawling all over the invasive vines that grow faster than anything else in my yard

But we can't afford healthcare.

Thank you for hosting this! I am Nathan, a disabled traditional artist from Brazil I do pet and character commissions, I draw cats all the time, usually my own 14 kitties (and 2 dogs) for the illustrated scrapbook I keep of them!! comm info on pinned or thecatfortress.carrd.co

Kittens are everywhere and we can’t help them without foster homes to get them safe and socialized and ready for adoption. If you’re in the Newark, DE/Northeastern MD area and you want to be a loving temporary stop for some kittens (or adult cats!) who need a little TLC, DM us!

Never too early to celebrate Pride month #Astros

Probably shouldn't have let a handful of weird business perverts unwind the cultural miracle of American research universities

All that’s getting me through my in-office days

This crew is a good crew. 🍊🗡️ I remember I sent mine to someone in a FB group when I realized that men’s camp shirts were not my vibe.

I come back to this monologue in Sam Fuller’s Pickup on South Street often. “I have to go on making a living so I can die” so neatly captures what so many of us have felt for so long. For far too many, the measure of doing well is not saving for a rainy day but weathering the on-going storm.

Just found a subreddit that pairs people with fucked up balls of string with people who love detangling balls of string and it is *very* wholesome

Good morning, Bluesky. Have you subscribed to Stephen Colbert's new YouTube channel? www.youtube.com/@colbert

University administrators two years ago: we can’t allow social justice movements to change the university as we know it University administrators today: in order to accommodate the new probabilistic bullshit generator no one likes we must change everything about the university

"average texan commits 3 crimes per year" factoid actualy just statistical error. average texan commits 0 crimes per year. Crimes Paxton, who is attorney general (??) and commits 10,000 crimes per day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

I don’t necessarily think it means I’m out of my mind but it’s maybe not great that for MONTHS the voice of Beck will occasionally come to my brain unbidden and say “tHaT wAs A gOoD dRuM bReAk”

Feeling very [insert meme here] about Texas politics tonight after having removed myself from the voter rolls long enough ago that I didn’t get spammed with calls this time

THEY CALL ME JOSÉEEEE and_I’m_Mark

I aspire to get an A+ in museum, something that is both normal to want and possible to achieve

It’s wild to live in a big swimming pool they’re filling with concrete because they don’t want black people to have anything that’s pretending to be a country

The hotdog taste test and Jeff Daniels interview were highlights for me

people can do whatever they want of course, but instead of posting incredibly tepid and uninspired responses to the most regurgitated discourse, you could like repost good art, or post about your dreams, or post some cool ascii art, or like song lyrics you like or like literally anything else

we're conneted to like millions of people here. you shouldn't really be posting for the widest audience, you should be posting for the 8 sickos you can find in 5 million people that really get your exact shit, those are the only 8 likes that matter

nice, I was just updating

"Paula Mejía on security envelope patterns and the people that collect them." dirt.fyi/article/2026... - I really like to read essays about niche interests.

These are the things that stand against us in enacting universal health care. We could absolutely do it, but we are going to have put a big knife through the back of a lot of capital in order to do so, and we fucking should.

Man, Artscape is very, very lightly attended. I feel for the vendors who plopped down $700 to set up a tent and won’t make that money back. The guy selling umbrellas is going gangbusters, though.

Artscape is cold and wet but it exists!

Love it: the night after he was kicked off of CBS for good, Stephen Colbert hosted a public access show in southeast Michigan.

Some real Wes Anderson bullshit

GRIZZ NO.

Ain’t no treasure hunt like a Stede Bonnet treasure hunt because a Stede Bonnet treasure hunt is MANDATORY

Ever wonder why the music in Our Flag Means Death hits so hard? youtu.be/OsoFcRF022I?...

Spanish is such a mysterious language

One reason I hate death penalty cases is that capital punishment is incredibly stupid and irrational. It's cruel, expensive, and serves no deterrent effect. It's rarely imposed, except against a tiny minority of unlucky defendants—and in those cases, racism almost always plays a role. Just end it.

The garden is keeping me going. This week I added 4 tomato plants, a tomatillo, Boston cucumber, and Solomon’s seal. The peppers are doing things(!) and the strawberries have been producing ❤️ Most of the plants that were wintering inside are on the porch for the summer

*Stede* Stede?!?! 😳

Art for morale: here's a large piece that I did recently, with the assignment of "four iconic Baltimore rowhouses, each themed in a specific different way"

astronauts are certified sickos, and good for them but ew, no thanks. i’m staying on earth, the planet where i can eat fresh food and go outside

It’s happening!

Cat tax interlude

Welcome to our third year living in Baltimore and third time someone has hit one of our parked cars outside of our residence! First time leaving a note though. Anyway add the burden of all the related insurance and repair tasks to the annual cost of car ownership.
