So there is a reason I’ve been so scared for the future. And a reason I’ve also been very happy. @tekla.bsky.social and I have an announcement to make 💕

I, for one, think it’s a good thing when signaling virtue is rewarded socially— or at least it’s a better thing when signaling vice is what’s rewarded. We should want to be good people!

I emailed the guy who originally drew Pepe to see if he had any comment about the current frog reclamation, and he was like uh what are you talking about

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

The problem with trying to do budget negotiations with this tinpot regime is that it’s like the King Solomon and the baby story. One side wants to preserve the baby (democracy, a functional government) and one doesn’t give a shit if it gets carved up as long as they win

So if I take my baby to a No Kings protest does she also get paid, or is it like an adults only deal with Soros

I often wonder what she’s going to think of all this when she’s older and doesn’t have any real memory of the process. If all goes well she could be totally done by the time she’s 4. Maybe some very early memories of wearing the brace to bed

Louisa @louisathelast.bsky.social · 2d

The orthopedist definitely impressed on us that the only real reason this treatment fails is parents not keeping up with the braces. I’m so sorry that happened to you

Louisa @louisathelast.bsky.social · 2d

She has to be in a brace now (23 hours a day for the next three months, then whenever she’s asleep for the next 3-5 years) but it gives her a lot more freedom and it’s a lot lighter

Margot had her clubfoot casts removed today and the way she grinned and started kicking her little legs when she realized they were free is sustaining me the rest of the week

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

This is really blatant pro-Nazi rhetoric, but also the House Un-American Activities Committee following WWII considered it suspicious for people to have been anti-fascist before Pearl Harbor. So like…not new

For no reason, just remembered this explicitly antifascist version of Chicken Little that Disney made in 1943. It's about the danger of following leaders who tell big lies. youtu.be/p_GaYdae4j0?...
