USE the tools, THEN break them over your knee.
and the next administration needs to not unilaterally disarm. if Humphreys Executor is overturned then it's overturned. If having the wrong political opinions gets you fired from this DOJ then all Trumpists are fired from the next one and need not apply. Clear the rot before building a better system

Be mad! But be mad AND make jokes.
Or at least don't finger wag when others do it.
It's called COPING.
Signed, the lady who, when the surgeon asked "do you want an autopsy" after her husband died after 9 months with a brain tumor, she asked "why, doctor? do you think he was murdered?"

Today Feb 1st is #NationalAxolotlDay 🎉💙

Critically Endangered, #Axolotls once inhabited interconnected wetlands and lakes in the Mexican highlands. Spanish settlers drained the waterways destroying their habitat which is now Mexico City.

Right now, the fact that I have the Orange Cats and the SciArt feeds mixed in with my regular following skyline is the only thing making my consumption of news tolerable.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

The number of people who don't understand the image on the left makes me want to cry quietly into my DVD box set

Also makes me want to go to the Silverlake Goodwill, since I assume Michael didn't buy the shirt
the Silverlake Goodwill has two of the most cursed items I’ve ever seen

I opened my podcast app and literally said "oh NO...." I fear for Peter and Michael. Just reading the Bluesky summaries damaged my frontal lobe.
This month's bonus episode is about Olivia Nuzzi: her rise to the top of political media, her FaceTime sex with RFK Jr., and her awful new book.

Today, I joined local leaders and advocates to organize our response to the potential for surging ICE presence in our community.

We are coordinated and will not back down. ICE has no place in Seattle.

I'll be lucky if he lets me into my own bed tonight.

(Finally managed to sneak in and get the overhead light turned on before he took off, so I was able to get a non-grainy picture.)

I am begging someone to explain to me, in a way that makes sense, why anyone would actually care that blocking someone doesn't mean they're removed from your "follower" count.

Why. Does. That. Matter.

KEXP played this this morning.
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
