Okay, my follower count and mix on here is now such that I need to say this:

If you know me in real life, no you don't.

If you saw me at a place I can routinely be found, no you didn't.

Thank you for understanding.
Go forth and improve its circulation!
If you don't understand what happened here, please start with this book.

I did not write this. I have just become a one-person street team for it and if I could make everyone on earth read it, I would. It contains things everyone needs to understand as soon as possible.

How is it that I, a self-selected neo-Luddite, have known about this issue for a year, and this person learned about it yesterday
Dying my hair.

Checking myself all over for dye splotches before leaving the area of the dye towel.

Finding myself going "No, that's a bruise. No, that's a tattoo. No, that's another bruise," entirely too many times.
It'll go on the back, I promise
I figured putting the exact sense of humor on the business card would probably serve me well in the long run
I think I've finally got the new business card.

If a leggy stranger you were talking to in a bar handed you this, would you keep it?
Hey! Sorry it took me a minute, but I plugged "plucky" into an online dictionary and clicked synonyms like I was falling down a wikipedia rabbit hole until I found the word: Roguish. So, in effect, you were closest without going over. DM me a mailing address so I can send you a little prize.
Let's be honest, they all look the same
It's almost ironic that AI is so much like a bad dream; you can break the illusion by trying to read text.
I understand why you all like this, but it is AI slop. Count the eyes on the frog. Or the stripes on the flag. Note that the costumes have no face holes. And my favorite: The sign that says "Love War."
This is a lot of new followers.

Welcome! I hope you have a lovely time here.

I do not automatically follow back. I'm not here for numbers. But if you post original and interesting things, especially pertaining to creative work or left politics, there's a good chance we can become friends.
Some folks from LA No Kings moved immediately to the next action. Still peacefully protesting. But now there are fewer of them, and it's dark, and they dared to be where the state doesn't want them to be. So the cops are doing this.
Los Angeles, CA -

Absolute chaos resulting from LAPD charge using batons, horse mounted units, “less lethal” projectiles. Protesters going in every direction. LAPD themselves don’t seem to know where protesters or press are supposed to be.
The meds kicked in and I was thinking about cultural cycles and how 1969 came back in 1997 and now the peace frogs have come around again and anyway I made this.
Tried to give myself the day off and instead I just found new, stupid tasks.
This is literally the opening act of Independence Day (1996)

I’ve seen just one counter-protester at No Kings San Diego. He’s got a Trump 2024 flag and this guy has been following him around for probably an hour playing Benny Hill and circus music.
Thanks! That does sound more doable.
My legs are not legging today, so I won't be out to the rally. I really, really need to finally let my body rest and recover. My immune system took my first Covid infection *so hard* that it's still taking it out on the rest of me.

But I will enjoy the signs and inflatables vicariously.

I won't publish crowd photos BUT I will say that as we headed out to Montpelier we passed a crowd SO BIG in our own tiny town that we turned around and joined our neighbors 🤣🤣🤣
Gov bootlicker accounts are now all 20 of the top 20 accounts blocked in the last 24 hours.

Good job, everyone.
Of course. They'd never heard one backwards: Driver Returns On Foot.
I want to see every bootlicking gov account on this Top 20 list in the next 24 hours.
