The honorable, moral, and correct thing to do is to spend this time telling the Dems to run someone who isn’t anti-trans, violent to the homeless, defender of Nazis, anti-union, and pro-billionaire, instead of capitulating before we even have a primary and yelling at everyone who hates newsom

LONG ISLAND FIREFIGHTERS VS ICE EXCUSE ME WHAT IS HAPPENING
ICE was stealing equipment from the Islip Long Island fire department and a Islip Forward member documented it. ICE tried to arrest the community member but the firemen said “I don’t think so” www.islipforward.org

Bill Anderson’s appearances on The Woodwright’s Shop have taught me a ton (that’s how I made my turning saw!) so I jumped on this old video of his when I heard about it today.
IT’S FOUR AND A HALF HOURS?!!

This photo made me understand class in America in a way that I was unable to process before seeing it. The rich enjoy class solidarity on a level that is unimaginable to most people.

Oh snap, she's caffeinated and writing overly-verbose song lyrics during the moments between tasks at work again.
(Yes, I start with the words and work backwards from there - most Tells tracks start akin to poetry slams and get massaged to fit songs after the fact)

Okay but have you considered that part of what makes us angrier and polarized is that we are made more aware of the uncool things being done in places that we cannot see? That we are able to see what the BBC and New York Times would rather wave away?

We have lost so much of ourselves to smartphones: can we get it back?
My use of mobile phones has been compulsive – has it been for better or for worse?

So apparently when I set up my domain email to use iCloud, Apple started attaching my dead name to all my emails. Apparently there's a mail setting to fix that, but only on the iCloud web site, not the Mail app preferences. Fucking hell.

I’m *extremely concerned* about the way folks are reforming their image of the cops in light of everything that’s happening, even though we only have a handful examples of them disagreeing with ICE, while still being responsible themselves for the murders of Black and brown people across the country

I vote every election I can because down-ballot local racess & ballot items have real impacts. My vote for pres barely matters in VT. If Dems hand me someone like Newsom, you expect me to swallow my tongue and give him a vote because my rights are somehow worth less than someone else's? No thanks.
If you're eligible to vote and don't, you're not eligible to complain.

When the candidates are good, and voting is easy and convenient, people vote. They don't have to be shamed or pressured into it.
But when Black people are asked to vote for increasing their own racism, or trans people are asked to vote for increasing their own transphobia? Then they hesitate.

Yesterday, I spent a few hours tuning up eight hollows & rounds. I’ve already made molding with these but they work so much better with a flattened sole (every side escapement plane I’ve found in the wild has a hump behind the mouth) & freshly tuned iron shaped to match as good as you can get it.
