Party like it's 1649! Monkey has grapes, dog has bone, and people have wine, women, and song. What could be better? Thanks to Anthonie Palamedesz, whose day has been today.

Boy oh boy, thanksgiving has changed since mom died a couple of years ago.
Dinner consisted of a Three Musketeers bar and a full pot of coffee. I'm sure she's throwing a tantrum right about now.

I am thankful for my indigenous brothers and sisters who have cherished and stewarded their sacred traditions in spite of the ravages of colonialism.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

In this time of growing Christian Nationalism, it is important to remember the *real* history of Thanksgiving. The Puritans didn't just come to the New World to flee persecution, they came here so they could be the ones doing the persecution.

Nothing says Thanksgiving like having to stop traffic, so your fat dog can relax & poop in the middle of an intersection.

Remember: It ys okaye to be lonely. It ys okaye to feel lost. It ys okaye to be sad. It ys okaye to have no plannes or just small plannes. It ys okaye to have big plannes that seem exhausting. It ys okaye to be a mess. Take care of thyself. Thou art amazinge.

What if you never feel at home in your own life?

What if your temporary life chaos never goes away?

Van Gogh understood this. He spent his career painting what it’s like to never fully arrive. What can we learn from him? 🧵👇 #artbots #vangogh

My favorite genre of cringe is watching some mediocre white guy incorrectly lecture a woman about something related to the field where she is an expert.
