Guess who just got both the updated COVID vaccine and flu shots today? Your dear Leader Trump. Maybe you should get them too.

Honestly the “he’s just angry, he can change” love my 5 year-old has for Shadow is one of the more worrisome harbingers of her future relationship choices…

SEGA @sega-west.bsky.social · 21d

you can love a character and still admit when they're wrong. we love Shadow but we can acknowledge his flaws (he has none) and we can hold him accountable for his wrongdoings (he has never done anything wrong in his life) and call him out on his actions (which are always correct)

Fortunately, the joint instabilities that drove me to apply 4 different topical anti inflammatory patches to my neck, back, shoulder, and elbow tonight also means I have the hyper mobility to apply those patches all on my own.

I do love Get Smart (more specifically Agent 99) and its reboot Inspector Gadget, but surely we can all agree that Dobie Gillis was, in fact, an idiot?

Now that you're (justly) angry about Jimmy Kimmel, did you know that Palestinian Americans were evicted in 2023 and 2024 for flying Palestinian flags in their windows?

It's true. I have a case before the Seventh Circuit about it.

Today my brain is spinning on iconic cultural foods that are in fact deep rooted trauma indicators of their culture. North American indigenous fry bread, Spanish jamon, Polynesian spam, idolization of cheese and ice cream in lactose intolerant populations, British love of tinned food, …

If it’s radical to believe everyone should be housed, have food, access to clean water, air, land, healthcare, and education, then so be it.

What if rivers were people instead of corporations, wouldn’t that be delightful?

The Colorado River is the ‘lifeblood'of the Colorado River Indian Tribes. Now they want to give the river the same legal rights as a person. www.kunc.org/news/2025-08...

The Colorado River is this tribe’s ‘lifeblood,’ now they want to give it the same legal rights as a person

The move, by the Colorado River Indian Tribes in Arizona and California would give rights of nature to the water, marking a historic first.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

The neighbors’ cherry tree is heavy with overripe fruit, and I’m wondering what terrible fate has befallen the jays that usually pick it clean as the cherries ripen…

A massive study of 50,000 households over 1,000 archaeological sites provides ample evidence that inequality is not a "natural" outgrowth of sophistication. Instead, it is a political choice. Which means, kids, that we don't have to choose it.

Life advice for the ages. Those doing wrong want you tired and hopeless. But stay angry. And when a chance is in front of you: bite back.

Digital plans for a real linocut. I'm anxiously awaiting a press to make this stuff possible with my RSI in my hands.

#art #tiger #resist #linocut

The image is digital art made up to look like a two color linocut print. It features a geometric twisting snarling tiger. It's flanked by the text "Stay Angry" and "Bite Back" that follows the contours of the tiger.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.
