Timeline Cleanse: Please enjoy this photo of a praying mantis that was sitting on top of my car windshield, but the angling and lighting were so weird it looks like a giant praying mantis wandering a corn field in Iowa.

Never forget that the American right despise their own children and long to see them tortured, punished, and even killed, because they're repressed, self-hating freaks and the idea of anything outside their control or defying their arbitrary orders drives them totally insane with libidinal rage.
People who think the right-wing revealing in the killing of citizens is anything new--or just some product of social media--should really, really read Nixonland by Rick Perlstein. (See below passages about the Kent State killings)

Goals for tomorrow:
✅ Finish WOUNDS by Nathan Ballingrud
✅ Get outside and take some photos if it's not raining--if rain, writing and lounging be my fate
✅ Not a DAMN thing otherwise, outside of the chillest chores

A funny thing about me is that I've never had an especially serious injury, I've never broken a bone, but I feel like I've stepped on glass more times than anyone else I am close with? I am a glass magnet I fear

Had a little worry when I saw the Pine Tree Riot song thing going around, thinking that a little local band had gone Nazi, but no phew it's another band named after pine trees

I think equating modern fanfiction with historical works that draw from an established canon is pretty fundamentally dishonest, particularly in the way that no one *owns* the concepts that works like Dante's Inferno are drawing from
I actually had a discussion about this yesterday. The hate for fanfiction has 4 components:
1) It directly defies capitalism. Capitalism tells us that only things that are profitable are of worth. Most fanfic is free and so people equate free to bad. 🧵 #fanfiction

“bsky is boring!”
1) good
2) social media should not be a cornerstone of your everyday entertainment
3) I find new artists to follow every day and look at pretty art endlessly on here when I feel like it
4) get a tactile hobby where you create something with your hands
5) read book
6) walk outside

Rest in power to Keith Porter who was murdered by an ICE agent in Los Angeles.
It’s terrible that his name is just now being circulated, but now that it is, continue to say his name.

Advocates want legal action after man shot and killed by off-duty ICE agent in Northridge
Advocates argue that the off-duty ICE agent wasn't trained for the situation and should have called police and waited for them to arrive.

It must be such a poor existence, clinging to the idea that anyone who likes anything artsier or more challenging than Vanderpump Rules is faking it for intellectual clout.

I think I'm gonna do one of these little monthly roundups roughly.... Monthly, along with reviews, essays, and probably also some photos/other art as I get deeper into learning how to use a camera at all.
Hello you animals, my website is up now. Here's my first full post. Yes the homepage is under construction. Yes I use a lot of em-dashes. Yes I'm going to figure out how to get rid of those fuck-ass borders around the images.

losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people
really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?
