I hope this is serving all the shrimp vibes because this is all the shrimp vibes I’ve got to give today

IYKYK He’s doing great!

Texas suing the manufacturers of Tylenol because it supposedly causes autism is like watching the Keller/Satanic Abuse trial here 35 years ago. It’s absolute state sanctioned lunacy. Oh look it up, it’s a jaw dropper.

Many showers bring these flowers!

Its like In Spite of Ourselves (Prine/Dement) went out back behind the grade school with Bonnie and Clyde (Gainsborough/Birkin) and smoked a laced cigarette, which I am soooooo here for in this case. youtu.be/WLl1qpDL7YA?...

I have one job and that is to jank together a shrimp costume that will stay on in a mosh pit. I’m thinking strapped on light up shrimp head dress thing and mayyyybe a layered shrimp lookin’ top for the costume part coupled w clk standard pit wear on the bottom.

Read the whole things, but some highlights: - Their new median estimate is *5.5 million* people protested yday - protest levels are 4x what they were in Trump's first term - at least 12.8 million people, or 3.7% of the population, have demonstrated against the president since he took office

NOPE!

about the shape of things

Almost like we founded the entire country on opposing this exact sentence.

a key thing about vought — and all of these guys — is that they have a totally top down and hierarchical vision of the world. they believe that the cultural changes they hate can be turned off by destroying the federal government because they can’t imagine that they emerged bottom-up in society

Viva la rana!

And the more privilege you have, the more imperative to resist and waste their time. Every second you take their time and attention is a second they aren’t hurting someone w less privilege.

ITKYK He’s doing really well btw

Still Morning 2025

So many zombie houses in my neighborhood (I live in Galindo in Austin, work in Bouldin/Zilker). You know the ones -they got over-monetized during the pandemic opportunist flipaganza to the point that no one would buy them and they can only rent at a great loss so they sit sadly vacant. So wrong!

I went on vacation recently for the first time in 3 years and 3 months. A lot happened since the last trip including 3 years sobriety, a life changing auto accident, and the rebuild into my present kinda awesome form. The trip was great and knocked some dust off. Already saving for the next one!

Photos from the Well You Needn’t all hands finale at Monk’s Thelonius Monk birthday tribute! Super good show in a great jazz listening room here in ATX

I have a rule about donating/selling clothes that don’t fit, but I make an exception for designer,extraordinary one offs, some evening wear. Imagine my delight at unearthing a stash of fantastic vintage suits, day dresses, and Italian separates in my attic…all in my current size. Gonna wear ‘em!

It's the classic authoritarian playbook: smear your opponents with baseless lies so that you can try to shut down peaceful, organized dissent. We won't be intimidated. We won't be cowed. We won't bow down. No Kings.

Michigan Avenue right now.

Sure, absolutely. Bill Burr, all those guys went to Riyadh to spread freedom of comedy the same way that the US invaded Afghanistan to bring feminism to Afghani women. Absolutely. For sure. That's why. You just keep telling yourself that.

Pre-complying w fascist ‘requests’ and orders falls into several distinct buckets: Happily complicit who agree Ignorant Stupid Fearful There’s some cross over of course, am I missing any buckets here? Triage helps know the best tactics in each case, they are not the same.

Ahead of the Trump administration's "historic" announcement on autism today, remember, RFK Jr. knows startingly little about autism. In fact, his views amount to a "rabbit hole filled with pseudoscience about the condition, near complete ignorance about current research and basic facts."

To be clear: this entire “we’ve got to run more pro-lifers” insanity is because literally a week ago polling showed that Democrats would prefer politicians like AOC and Mamdani over Jefferies and Schumer by, let me emphasize this, a 20 point fucking margin. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Greetings and blessing of the EQUINOX, may your internal scales find a moment of balance.

Me and my dog are calling for the Dept of Homeland Security to go fuck themselves, without prejudice. Similar legal authority. I’ll wait. *taps foot*

I've been on this soapbox for most of my life now, but treating the unhoused with respect and helping them to get back on their feet *makes the world a better place for all of us*. Good on ya, Finland. I wish we had your empathy here.

I consent to all the most NSFW content people want to post. I can scroll past, mute, block, whatever I choose. We already have the tools, we can choose, that's the point.

You don't have to mourn people who despised you and wanted terrible things to happen to you. Hard to believe that this needs to be said but apparently it does.

BREAKING: The U.K., Canada and Australia officially recognize a Palestinian state, a significant shift away from alignment with the U.S.

Imagine if Richard Nixon had just tweeted out the Watergate scandal rather than putting it on secret tapes. That’s what this is.

Commitment to free speech doesn't just mean commitment to letting people say things you don't believe in. It's a commitment to them saying or expressing it in a *way* that you dislike, or is actively unpleasant to you.

No. Be loud. They want us to be silent. Also maybe listen to the nsfw artists begging you not to do a blackout & instead fight this loud & as vocal as you can be, especially if you say you wanba do this for those artists.

Disney has lost nearly $4 Billion in three days from combined stock price collapse and cancelled subscriptions.

Of all the plants I grow, I think eucalyptus gives me the most insane amount of pleasure. It smells AMAZING when watered, takes me right to NoCal youthful happy times

Even Lyin’Ted Cruz thinks this censorship is wrong. But not because govt media control is wrong, unconstitutional, and unAmerican. But because he fears it would be used on him by Democrats. Think about that. We really REALLY need to help him retire from “public service”.
