If you follow me and I go to your profile and the only thing you post about is politics I probably won't follow you back. No offense intended, I just can't stomach a constant firehose of that kind of content.

Hey listeners…

Something I keep coming back to is this —
we’re not always meant to fix what’s heavy.

Sometimes it’s enough to just stay present, keep listening,
and let something beautiful sit beside what hurts.

Music helps with that.
It gives our feels a resting place for a while.

I just wanna keep this safe
That’s forty ounces of faith
And not a drop was poured yet
That’s why I say
Love? Don't give me that.
Till I can give you something back
Why would I say no?
To my dream from forever ago
You want me to get up and go?
Let me pull back the curtain

I told myself
That we weren't right together
And everything said was meant for another
I can't be with you
I can't be without you anymore

An email from the Aviary about a Galentine's Day Brunch event:

"Don't forget to say hello to gal pals, Jewel and Sapphira, in our Tropical Rainforest habitat after dining!"

Read this it’s awesome
It's the 3rd of January 1939, your name is professor James Smith and you are staring at a drawing of a fish. It's not a regular fish. It is a completely impossible fish.

Yes, amongst other reasons. Cannot emphasize enough how this is a meme government based on virality and likes.

I'm waiting for them to declare non-dairy milk illegal and then wonder why coffee chains are closing. Tons of adults can't digest milk! Not that facts matter here but hey.

At least Obama's hypothetical Death Panels would have decided who deserved to die based on a rubric more complicated than "did they just piss off a high school dropout armed by the state"

MAGA glamorized the “mama bear” trope when they had white ladies yelling at trans kids or stealing books from libraries, but if you’re a mom trying to keep an armed creep in 5.11 gear from abducting a kid?

“Deranged lib”
Apparently ICE goons in multi-car caravans are circling Spanish immersion preschools in the city taunting and photographing the parents and neighbors who are patrolling the school perimeter to keep kids safe.

There's a reason craft shows don't allow MLM booths. Conventions like this should take the same tack with fake, stolen, AI-generated trash.
GenAi has NO place at Comicon, ESPECIALLY at art shows!

By doing so Comic-con signals to older and newer generations of artists that their exploitation and replacement is worth putting on a pedestal.👎

Anyway here’s their email. Feel free to politely share thoughts:
