a preliminary sketch of a crone. Aspergerian mom of an autistic son. I wrote Experimental Film and literally 100+ short stories. Out now: Little Horn, a collection, from Shortwave Publishing. I sing, make jewelry and doodle pretty monsters.

You're Not Crazy. America Has Gone Mad
American politics has become so insane that being reasonable feels like a malady, and MAGA agrees.

I don't want Trump to resign. I want him drug from the White House kicking and screaming. I want him forcibly removed and taken before a tribunal. He doesn't get to slink away on his terms. Fuck that shit.
Demand his impeachment, arrest, and incarceration.
Take his presidency from him.

Went to see The Testament of Ann Lee tonight with my mom and a friend; I enjoyed it a lot. Mom: “I kept falling asleep.” Me: “That’d be the hypnagogic repetition, probably.” Mom: “And all the singing.”

Martinez took five bullets from a CBP agent, and DHS went into overdrive claiming she was an armed threat to the agents who were merely defending themselves. Sound familiar?
The woman who survived five gunshots from a Border Patrol agent in Chicago, only to be criminally charged and then cleared, now wants a judge’s permission to share records showing how the feds respond when agents use deadly force.

A friend shared this picture of someone holding this sign as part of yesterday's Chicago protests. I'm always humbled when people bring my ideas along with them.

They aren’t backing down. They’re just threatening people in other cities. Still illegal. Still unconstitutional. Even if they haven’t yet backed it up by shooting someone in the face.
ICE is changing tactics in Maine: "Now, the volunteers in Maine say federal agents have started showing up at their homes and intimidating them or threatening arrest. Some of them, masked and wearing tactical gear, have issued stark warnings not to follow them." www.pressherald.com/2026/01/23/i...

Filmed on Super 8. Breathtakingly beautiful. This film’s got atmosphere. It’s also a very accurate portrayal of the cult of Christianity. 📽️🩸

As @prisonculture.bsky.social often says, two thirds of people in this country did not vote for this scumbag and his fascist goon squad, and yet Very Serious People are always telling us that everyone must only appeal to and placate the third who did.

It’s beside the point that the thread is making, but I say it again and again: give teens instruments and let them start bands with their friends
A lot of the Male Loneliness Epidemic can be traced back to the fact that most cis dudes don’t participate in communal logistics.
I think @sarahjeong.bsky.social said it's because they devalue women's labor and a LOT of this Scary Logistics stuff comes from people who don't understand that basically all of the civic life they enjoy is created with the help of free labor, largely by women.
