My mother takes blood thinners and has a lot of sun damage, and this is how she bruises with one tiny accidental whack against the furniture.

Get yourselves another dream, my friends. And stop demonizing what happens to old people. Demonize the actual demon instead.

Cold day for a walk on the quiet WB lot today. A circular blue scrim spotted inside the Bad Monkey stage. The inflatable rooster on top of the booth by The Pitt stage is sadly droopy. Pink lights on the water tower.

I know I keep posting about this but every time I check, the list gets longer and longer and longer. Hundreds and hundreds of places, everything from huge local institutions to small spots that will definitely struggle.

No exaggeration, it's the most astonishing act of solidarity I've ever seen.
there are a bunch of big names on this list, including multiple beard award winners, and some places i never would have guessed in a hundred years (the malt shop?!) and i'm genuinely floored and delighted to see so many participants

So if you are mad, as I am, about democrats funding ICE, we will need to fund primary challengers.
Our community deserves someone willing to stand up and deliver impactful leadership. And yet Rep. Gluesenkamp Perez, along with 6 other Democrats in the House, just voted through a funding bill that will give ICE billions of dollars with minimal guardrails.

I just want to say: there are many ways out of this, but the most likely one is: mitigate harms and save as many lives as possible, while winning elections in the face of vote suppression, then using power ruthlessly to repair our systems.

It may not be that likely. It’s just the most likely.
Today I taught and that leaves me tired and apparently am finding new stages of grief for society.

It has not been lost on me that the two preeminent contemporary uses of LLMs is the infinite generation of 1) CSAM and 2) media that serves no purpose other to publicly denigrate, humiliate, and dominate women and minorities.

We've had two frankly terrible years. We have GOT to make this a better year, and that starts with *at least* one sale a week. So far, we're already almost 3 weeks behind, and we had an unexpected $650 cash expense last week.

1. In a major victory, Democrats have managed to get all anti-trans riders stripped from the final appropriations bills.

This includes HHS and Ed, which had the worst provisions in congressional history.

If it passes, it will be a big win for 2026.
