Overstaying its welcome. Making New Yorkers’ days grimmer. Something we should relegate to the past.

No, we're not talking about Andrew Cuomo. We're talking about scaffolding.

Today we released our plan to take it down more quickly.

Squirrels! 🎃🧡

Art by Elisabeth Alba
The original painting is 3x3 inches.

We haven't gotten pumpkins for the front porch yet, but as soon as we do, the squirrels will start feasting!

Illustration of a close up of a front stoop with pumpkins of various sizes, fallen yellow leaves, and a potted mum. A large pumpkin has acorns carved into it, and two squirrels are investigating.

Real time data coming out of the world’s climate measurement systems should be stopping us in our tracks. The latest estimate shows that, this week, the Earth is 1.9°C warmer than before we began burning fossil fuels.

People who tell me “You’re an extreme case, we’re not talking about you” when it comes to disability benefits…

I don’t care.

When you come for one disabled person, you come for us all.

I’m not as selfish as you to do the “Oh I’m alright then”.
I actually care about others.

And from image events, we get POLYSEMIC images that carry multiple forms of ideology into the present. Here, we have the convergence of Shepard Fairey's iconic HOPE poster for the Obama campaign with the frog icon from #NoKings. The is how you visually dismantle fascist iconography.

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

Rallies like this bring together multigenerational groups and the playfulness can help create enthusasim for big tent politics against the monoculture of fascism.

The biggest renovation of the White House -- the so-called Truman Reconstruction of 1949-1952 -- came about only because the building was in such a state of disrepair that inspectors decided it was unsafe for occupancy.

Not because the president just decided he needed a big fancy ballroom.

The funniest part of all of this asinine Rebel News tear-jerking, heartstring-tugging "Save Our Beloved Ostriches" stupidity is that the ostriches were being raised for *slaughter*. For *meat*.

Oh, and the ostrich farm owners are a bunch of grifters.

Look at Kurt the Vampire Kitty! 😍🧛

Kurt needs a patient home willing to meet him where he's at... so he can live his best life in a home instead of a shelter. Where are the grey cat lovers in Missouri & Illinois? #StLouis

People expect cats to perform like they're on America’s Got Talent—but I’m just Kurt: a cute, curious cat with little fangs and a big heart. After 6 years in the shelter, I’ve learned to love people. I just need someone patient enough to love me back. 💛 #AdoptDontShop
