there are so many of these in the cemetery where I walk several times every week. I should take pictures of them to share, because they tell you what RFK Jr wants life to be like again. (I mean, infant and maternal mortality in the US are too high *now*, but RFK Jr thinks they're too low)

Proud mama! 🪶 🐣

It's independent bookstore day.

When I’m Governor of Maine, we’ll stand up to Donald Trump with more than empty words and symbolic gestures. We will arrest ICE agents who break the law in our state. That is a promise. #mepolitics

This is such an incredible collaboration, and I can't wait to dig in! Here's the piece I contributed alongside @delightmonster.bsky.social 's gorgeous speculative fiction piece about corals, anthropogenic sea level rise, and consequences. 🎨 #SciArt #InverteFest

There's nothing wrong with you, and you are not broken. The world that should offer us peace, warmth, and secret libraries in the forest frequented by sophisticated animals in little tweed suits is broken.

I thought this point Eric made about how libraries are early introductions to a social contract was really interesting, too:

IMAGINE MAKING AI BIRD SLOP WHEN *I* EXIST, MUTHAFUCKA

how it feels to say "sprezzatura"

The Cavs should have consulted infectious disease first

VERY COOL PERSON: It's four-twenty, you know what that means? ME: Hell yeah! [starts shoving blackbirds into a pie]

Gonna spend the next two years spamming every elected Dem about the concept of "damnatio memoriae." Chisel his name off every inscription. Build over the various Trump Towers like they're Nero's Golden House. Remove him from physical memory, not to forget but as a sign of disrespect to the man.

girls can do anything actually, even color 🫵💪🫡

I cannot believe you have the audacity to suggest that *any* picture I've taken of Otis *isn't* the best one I've ever taken of him. That said, it's this one.

So the bunke-- er, ballroom will have a "State of the Art Hospital..." Meanwhile, in Maine:

Why is there even a question about whether any hospital should continue to exist?

Icymi, I have a creepy story over at Weird Horror

ridicule softens the ground for abuse

NYT cooking page has basically no meat on it "Dumplings With Peas" "Broccoli Cheddar Beans"

If, like me, you hesitate to watch a video, this one is worth it.

I know people bristle at the idea of leftists who police language but a big reason it happens is because, especially as it relates to politicians, the language we choose serves as an entirely accurate predictor of the types of policy decisions we would make & who we would & wouldn’t place value on
