Hard agree.

I am having a hard time finding pants that are:

Non-petroleum based

Are interesting in color, print, shape, or any combination of the above

Don't have a drawstring, I feel sloppy with one

And are long enough for my 700-foot-tall self. 30 inch inseam is ankle length; I'd prefer 32.

Wonderful news. Lately, seems like the only good news comes out of California.

Tencel/Lyocell is a better alternative to rayon, produced in a closed system that reclaims and reuses almost all of the solvent and water used in the process.

I'm trying really hard not to buy any more plastic clothes and having this option helps.

They will also call you on your bullshit. They're not sycophants like dogs.

I think FB broke me, as far as social media goes. For years before I left, I had stopped posting anything due to not wanting them to make any money off me, and because they are EEEVIL.

I've been here a while now, and I sometimes have thinky thoughts to share, but I can't overcome the icky feeling.

In the store, you gotta bring all 5 to the register if you want 5. Your online cart is the register. Discounts are applied at the end, just like at the store.

What if you only wanted 2 of them, BOGO be damned?

Here in the 2nd largest city in the US, I've been sick of it since they said "a taco truck on every corner" as if THAT was the dystopia we should fear. It's not a nightmare, it's fucking delicious.

They will always call us violent when we stop cooperating with our own oppression.

From Let This Radicalize You by Kelly Hayes & Mariame Kaba — a reminder for our comrades in Los Angeles and everywhere else: "peace" under capitalism means obedience, not justice.

A photograph of an open book showing a page titled “They Will Call You Violent” from the chapter “Violence in Social Movements” in Let This Radicalize You by Kelly Hayes and Mariame Kaba. The passage argues that tactics disrupting capitalist order are often labeled as "violent" because the term is used elastically to vilify those who threaten the status quo. It highlights how conditions described by the state as “peaceful” often involve systemic violence like poverty, imprisonment, police brutality, and denial of healthcare. It critiques the state’s use of terms like “peace” and “peaceful protest,” revealing them to mean obedience and cooperation within the confines of state-sanctioned order. The text concludes by stressing that the state should not be the one defining what violence means among those pursuing justice.

How i got my cats to stop knocking things off my nightstand when she thinks I'm late with her breakfast:

I cleared all those fiddly little bits off my nightstand.

Now she just glares and meows.

The meower in question, a round-faced cat with calico coloring and tabby stripes. She is judging you.

To improve the image of the Democratic Party we should pants anyone who isn’t willing to fight for everyone’s rights.
