I think the problem is that it has been 53 years since we had a president who wore glasses. We need a president who knows there is more than one way to see the world.

I wrote about the fake account blowup on X this weekend. A genuine post-truth nightmare and proof that these companies have polluted their platforms so thoroughly and traded reality for profit that they've undermined the very idea of what the internet is supposed to be.

I love Christmas and normally I'd be getting so excited right about now, but this year I'm a little down because it's our first holiday since we lost Fergus. I'm hoping I can spread some cheer and regain a little spirit myself by raising some funds for our local shelter! givebutter.com/n5l31M

My aunt who famously can’t cook tried to make a pumpkin pie. She didn’t know what cloves were, so she put garlic cloves in it. Whole.

Jimmy Cliff has passed. His art shaped my youth. Specifically, the harder they come.

"And I keep on fighting for the things I want
Though I know that when you're dead you can't
But I'd rather be a free man in my grave
Than living as a puppet or a slave"

Rest in Power

To celebrate my first cardigan, I made some TS cardigan cookies🤭🫶 my first time using this cookie cutter so they're a bit messy! But I love how they came out! (The purple color is all wrong but mixing colors is HARD y'all.)
