Many things are being destroyed & the news of it is a psychological & political onslaught.

So it’s important that you create things.

It can be art, cookies, a community pantry, a garden, a mask bloc. It can be beautiful, practical, silly. Just create & share.

It’ll do your brain & the world good.

Does anyone knows of anyone who is keeping a database of all the national park exhibits taken down because of the administration’s problems with DEI?

I maybe know people who took photos of all the exhibits that were up at Harper’s Ferry.

I love most of these tasks because I’m a weirdo, but THE DISHES. Washing dishes is hell.

He wants X thing so he gets X thing is not a given. And to me that's the thing to uproot from people's consciousness. Because we're less than a year in and many people seem already defeated.

My dad is also 30 years older than this punk, I’m ready to go have words.

There’s a reason we talk about levels of support needs in the community! There’s a reason it’s called a spectrum!

My dad is currently very politely submitting evidence of a bird sighting to the person who authorizes such things in my dad’s area, and this is not the first time the authorizor has denied my father’s claims of seeing a rare bird.

I’d be so much more annoyed than my dad is.

How will Luke get over his trauma responses around using the Force if not for the half-naked witches?!?!

Gotta keep the Dathomir witches and their public sponge baths! THIS IS CANON.

I started checking out books from the library in 1994 and had a really fun, weird decade and a half.

And the pronunciation of Ysalamiri just has to be different every single time.

Just sitting down with 2006 knowledge of Star Wars EU lore, sounds like an amazing time to me, and oh what a ride!

“Luke is dating a computer program downloaded into the hot bod of one of his students!”

“Uuuhhhh, no, she decided to go . . . somewhere, let’s never speak of this again.”

“Luke is dating a Space Nazi!”

“Uhhhh, that’s another thing we will not address going forward.”

It became such an ungodly mess during the Yuuzahn Vong series. Unreadable by halfway through.

“Oh, the aliens with that philosophy are actually a radical religious sect, most of them are very normal and don’t worship pain.”

“NO THE ONES THAT SAY THAT ARE JUST WIMPS!”

Like, dude, it’s fine, so what if she dated Lando?

Quill (she/they) 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ 🐎🗡️🌼 @quillauthor.bsky.social · 1d

Bwahahaha, although Mara did claim that dating lando was just a cover (Zahn HAD to retcon that SOMEHOW) for some investigative operation they were doing in either Specter of the Past or Vision of the Future.

Star Wars authors are deeply petty.

And for some reason they apparently booked a war room as a venue and tried to cover that fact by draping strings of flowers from the security system?

It’s kind of hard to hold it all in ones brain. The synapses struggle to comprehend, let alone recall.

I *just* noticed that Leia (?) and Lando (?) are posed the exact same way, so apparently the artist had access to very limited reference photos.
