I'd say our very first brake light clinic was a success. We helped 26 cars ensure they had working lights, good tire pressure, and topped off fluids. And hopefully it helps them stay out of the sights of cops looking for an easy target.

Tomorrow!!

@kzooindivisible.bsky.social is partnering with El Concilio on this community strengthening project! We've been working on the details for a while and we are hoping we can help a lot of people. 😊

My favorite thing is my daughter drawing crowns with just "no" underneath them all over the driveway. #NoKings

I'll just hold onto what a great day I had with my daughters yesterday while @mamabear487.bsky.social worked to make WMU Band Day a great success for hundreds of high schoolers as we wrap up another shitty week in fascism. #NoKings Oct 18th.

When the Pokémon theme comes on your queue and you just got to sit in the costco parking lot and finish it at full volume.

These constant, baseless threats and demonization of the left weight heavily on me, on us all. And it is absolutely vile the way our President continues to make calls to his base looking for an excuse to enact violence against the perceived threats on our own soil.

Trump hyped a huge autism announcement for months then followed through today with a press conference where his brain leaked out of his ears for an hour while he couldn't pronounce "acetaminophen" and yelled "DON'T TAKE ASPIRIN" over and over. Congratulations, America.

My problem with capitalism is that even in the video games where you can get powerful enough to attack and destroy god they still cap your money out at 999,999,999.

When you're helping your daughters make friendship bracelets, but you hate systems of oppression.

At this point, I'm not even sure what "disappointed" means anymore. These so-called "leaders" continue to fail to rise to the moment and instead make tik-tok digestible soundbytes in senate hearings all week like, "See! We're angry, too." Fucking shit or get off the pot.

If you want to be ready for the big stuff like a #GeneralStrike, I need you to show up. Mingle with organizers. Get involved. Form your own groups. Don't let your voice go unheard. Don't let the fear trap you in your homes. We can do this. We will do this!

We need to all be deeply concerned about the inclusion of far-right political entities like PragerU into our Dept of Education. The damage they could do would have a generations long effect.

Rough time to be someone who gives a fuck about things

It is wild that Charlie Kirk of all things is becoming *the* litmus test. Even just talking about the event publicly without a sufficient supply of sackcloth and ashes is cast as "promoting political violence." I haven't seen this kind of mandatory performance of allegiance and piety since 9/11.

now is the time for every media personality to stand up and speak out, because what this shows is that nothing will save you they’re coming for all of you, unless you’re a true believer your days are numbered and your bosses are eager to comply do something you can be proud of on your way out

We have lost our collective minds. Where is our humanity?

i wish i was still bothered by videos of people dying. Christchurch honestly just like burnt that part of my mind out for the most part. i had to watch that fucking thing so many times by the end of it my brain was different.

🤣 The local Charlie Kirk vigil almost didn't have their large print memorial sign 💦 because the local Office Max refused to print propaganda. Don't worry though, his super cool uncle from Tempe, AZ who works for FedEx saved the day. Guess I know where I'm going for my future print needs. #Resist

Q: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up? TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years.

It literally doesn’t matter what liberals or those on the left say about Kirk’s death. It doesn’t matter how much they fall over themselves to call it a tragedy or to condemn Hamas — I mean violence This is what the American Right is always going to do

From me, a list of Trump supporters who killed, or tried to kill, Democrats and opponents of Trump in recent years (since the right are now claiming all the political violence is from the left!) Receipts: zeteo.com/p/charlie-ki...

I am terrified for all of us. Our political action groups have already seen an influx of threats of violence at our rallies we have planned for this weekend. Though we take every effort to report these, I have little faith in the institutions that are supposed to protect us. Stay safe out there.

Strap in kids. It's going to be a bumpy ride.

Michael Burns is starting (Corned) Beef with me because I recommended Diane Negra's "The Irish In Us" to him and now he's jealous I ripped it off to make a video essay first.

People can get so wrapped up in very particular ways of “being moderate” and performing moderation, I find it very interesting

They ask you, "Have you been sick in the last 24 hours," for a reason before giving you a vaccine. Would not advise getting both flu and covid while having a chest cold. It's gonna be a day today, for sure.

The lead boat in the Sumud Flotilla appears to have been struck from above while in Tunis. Not alone that but the claim that "the fire originated on the ship" is propagating across the media. This is an international civilian aid flotilla. The levels of mistruth and abuse are staggering.

Join me there, friends!

Doing still life's with the girls this afternoon.

I can’t think of any other time in modern video-game history that a game as highly anticipated as Silksong has arrived with no early reviews, impressions, leaks, guides, videos, or even forum teases. Soon, everyone will be playing Silksong for the first time. It’s unprecedented and kinda beautiful

Last night I did something I've only imagined doing all my life as an overweight person; cross dress in the most revealing clothing I've ever had and feeling great about it. While type 1 diabetes has destroyed my body, it has given me one gift, and that is being thin.

My ambitious parent ass thinking, "we can for sure get through one Chicago museum with 4 kids"

Waiting in the merch line for MCR. Me and @mamabear487.bsky.social lookin' pretty punk.

Oh look, the machine feeding itself. There is no check happening here, there is just fascists justifying their coming violent purge of trans and the LGBTQIA+ community. We should all be terrified of what's coming.

Stay safe out there.

One of the most infuriating things about listening politicians who refuse to do anything about gun violence is they continue to call the shootings “incomprehensible,” or “unthinkable.” Mother fuckers it’s not some abstract concept it’s happening every other fucking WEEK! Just comprehend REALITY!

It's wall to wall people here at Lynnhurst Park. A full acre of open hearts and raw grief. Pray for the Dead. Fight like hell for the Living.

I don’t want to hear shit about “the shooter was trans” from a media that has spent the last two decades painting every radicalized white male shooter as a lone wolf

My poor empathetic child. We are discussing seasons and I make a pout face and act all sad while mentioning summer is coming to an end, and she begins to cry for me.

After a long day of work, you got to take the simple pleasures of watching your kid slurp ramen with a smile.

She's warming up to being carried. Willingly squats, but still a little nervous when you pick her up.

I am always down for a new @lindsayellis.bsky.social essay. youtu.be/QwpanShgOp4?...

I bought my first mini skirt yesterday for a queer punk outfit for the MCR concert next weekend, and I suddenly want to buy more and wear them all the time. Men deserve to be cute, too.

I am looking for book recommendations. I recently read "Who's Afraid of Gender" by Judith Butler and "Slow Down" by Kohei Saito. I am looking for more non-fiction along those lines. #books #booksky

Holy shit, is it really this bad? Went to a township board meeting last night after months away focusing on my school board objectives, and they're still talking about the same drama thats been going on since the start of this year. And our supervisor sits there dumbstruck about what to do.

Nothing more fun than coming out in the backyard and making chicken noises and watching all your chickens come prancing over like you're a giant chicken.

My friends and I were just talking about this song on Saturday. @12tone.nebula.tv are you clairvoyant? youtu.be/mH8-WGUJnz8?...

I love plotting things with the wife and our awesome neighbors. It is time to teach ourselves and our community how to connect with one another again.
