women should be weirder and more off putting
I once saw Jane Goodall hanging out in the meerkat exhibit at the Houston zoo. I honestly assumed she was animatronic. Until she spoke to me. She was gracious, funny, and kind.

The meerkats didn’t seem to mind hanging out with her, and they’re some anxious dudes. So she must have been pretty ok.

Y'all realize, of course, that if they do this successfully, there's absolutely nothing stopping them from listing gay people, Black people, or people under 5'6" as violent extremists, right? This lets them brand entire demographics as terrorists under FBI labeling if it is not stopped.
The FBI is preparing to label transgender people as “violent extremists” in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder:

Sometimes it's nice to remember that even Marcus Aurelius was like "you don't have to comment on everything bro"

I think you have to use a lot of deeply textured fabric.

And googley eyes.

And a mouth hole that takes up +40% of the ear-to-ear latitude.

Here’s the ultra basic model.

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.

Deeply saddened to hear via Gang of Four’s official FB page that their original bassist Dave Allen has died. Allen’s bass lines on songs like «Damaged Goods» and «To Hell With Poverty» are iconic and his playing was as vital to GofF’s unique sound as Gill’s guitar and Bornham’s drumming. RIP.

Somehow I got plugged into the #showmeyourknits algo, not sure why other than my age, gender, and political beliefs.
Here’s my contribution. Been working on this hat for several months now. Looks good, no frogging needed at all yet!
My kid pointed out that the Sex Pistols were basically a boy band and I haven’t been able to shake what a basic brat I was to have liked them. God save the teen.

The Righteous Gemstones goes out strong in what might be its best season. Still highly dysfunctional and corrupt, exposing the root of these televangelists' deceit, but also surprisingly subversive and confrontational in many ways. I hate to see this show go. Final season premieres tonight.

Trying to show our teenager how punk rock we are by watching Sid and Nancy as our family move night.

Kiddo-Wait, that Malcom guy put them together? They were basically a boy band?
Us-Wait, we can’t get closed captioning on this movie?
All-Let’s watch The Great for the 3rd time.

We are old.

Black cowboys were the original cowboys. “They didn’t have white cowboys,” says Larry Callies, founder of The Black Cowboy Museum. “Black men were called cowboys because of their skin… White men were cowhands—until Hollywood changed the story. #BlackHistoryMonth

Black cowboys are fundamental to Texas history, present, and future. We spoke to historians about the real men who shaped the West.

For real, I was limping around yesterday because of a knee problem. Caused by sleeping under a weighted blanket.

The shame.
I do honestly believe that cortisol and adrenaline and abuse can be a bit addictive.

Up until you realize that you’re punching yourself in the face just to feel something.

I think that’s how we got into this political mess.
Asked some hippy permaculture dudes to help me with some yard work. Great guys. Here’s how they rolled up.

Now I can’t automatically 🖕 anyone driving a TrashCan anymore.
The rich have no taste. Wtf with that bedside table? Looks like Grimes got a box of builder grade tiles at Home Depot and went to town.
