Fuck everything. I occasionally stream on Twitch. GenX She/Her, cis I'm me everywhere because I'm not very original. Sometimes I make things. Mostly I buy supplies to make things, & then don't make the things. Header image is a resin cabochon I made.

Hey, did you know there's an alternative to ChatGPT that makes sense economically and doesn't destroy the environment?
It's called English majors and they will happily fix all of your documents for the low price of health insurance and a living wage.

What's the biggest inside indicator of Trump's poor health? JD Vance's behavior.

Vance knows that Trump's prognosis is poor. He believes this is going to give him the presidency before 2028. No American VP has ever behaved this way. His level of arrogance is off the charts.

Someone in my mentions is upset because these people haven’t suffered the worst at ICE’s hands and therefore they shouldn’t be praised for being out on the streets?

Yeah, no. To push back on these people we need everyone — especially those with relative privilege — to get up and get involved.

It's really great that we have a mad-king who thinks he's going to hell no matter what he does and is in charge of a humanity-ending nuclear arsenal.

Every day that passes I am more convinced of two things:

1) This regime’s attempt to consolidate and hold power is going to collapse in truly spectacular fashion

2) That collapse is going to be astoundingly dangerous and destructive

A man very recently called for “involuntary lethal injection” for the mentally ill and the unhoused.

Literally talking about murdering other humans—and he still kept his job.

The thing about being smart is, when you're being used as a punching bag, you walk away.

Sunday reading:

I wrote about the aggrieved extremist who is currently firing thousands of federal workers and ravaging state capacity based on conspiratorial nonsense - and about mainstream media’s infuriating tendency to sanitize Russell Vought and the regime he serves.

This week’s piece:

We need to talk about Russell Vought – But Properly

Why certain mainstream outlets insist on sanitizing Vought as a devout “small government” conservative – and what actually animates his war against pluralistic democracy

I already had a physical scheduled with my primary this coming week, so we'll see what she says. And I guess I need to reach out to my long-ago gastroenterologist.
