GenX, so I really don’t exist. But seriously, I garden, go for long walks, and take life slowly; I believe in democracy, equal access, and inclusion.

photo of Kyle Rittenhouse c arrying an assault rifle. NEVER FORGET how the same tRUmp administration that celebrates Kyle Rittenhouse, who showed up at a protest like this, is now defending ICE killing a man for LEGALLY carrying a HOLSTERED gun THAT HE DIDN'T EVEN TOUCH.

Despite everything that happened at Davos, I still haven't forgotten about the Epstein files.

In New York, USA. 🇺🇸
Chalk message on a large blackboard-style panel in a tiled New York City subway station reads, “WE DON’T WANT GREENLAND / WE WANT HEALTHCARE,” framed by ad posters and a “50” station marker on the wall in New York, USA. Artist unknown.

ICE is now targeting Somalis in Minnesota. To ICE thugs, every black person is considered Somali now. So they’re rounding up any black people they find. This was the plan ALL ALONG.

The best of 2025 : Accountabiility.
4 frame comic. a street reporter approaches a man wearing a big hoodie, asking : sir! how much do you think we should hold feminism accountable for the male loneliness epidemic? he replies : there is no meaningful difference between the rates of loneliness between men and women*. the reason we're always talking about men's is that they're making it everyone else's problem. A note under the frame adds : *in fact, several studies (graham & ong, 2024; cigna & morning consult, 2021) suggest that more women experience loneliness than men. In the 3rd frame, he says : according to research*, the primary reason that men isolate themselves is because they feel incapable of living up to rigid gendered expectations. the far-right exploits that vulnerability to radicalize young men. another note under the frame adds a source : *the state of american men 2025, equimundo: center for masculinities and social justice. fourth frame : If anything, feminism is the solution to men's loneliness. let's deconstruct the gender norms that hurt everyone, before these techno-fascists divide us even more.

Read @adamserwer.bsky.social on the Roberts' court's attempts to "to turn the guarantees of the Civil War amendments back into what James Madison called "parchment barriers.'"

Defending slavery, however, required invasive uses of power, such as banning antislavery literature and returning escaped Black people to bondage. Many white Americans in the 19th century began to understand that the “Slave Power” curtailed their freedoms as well. And this is what many people forget: Systems of domination rarely spread their blessings widely. The Redemption-era revocation of Black freedoms didn’t result in prosperity for white people writ large, but a Gilded Age in which the upper classes gained unfathomable wealth and economic crises left millions destitute. The nation may have held on to white supremacy, but it also got low wages, a threadbare welfare state, and a society dominated by the rich. Everyone else was too divided by race and class to challenge them.

Every Democrat going on air should take the first question and then say something like “Before I answer that I need to express my outrage and disgust at the president’s bigoted and vulgar insults about the Somali people. There is something seriously wrong with him. He is a sick man.”

@futurebird The Internet has let me down.

I was *sure* there would be a picture of a pair of appropriately spaced Puffball Mushrooms wearing a sexy bra.

But... somehow... none.

In fact I can't find any puffballs wearing any clothing.

That disappoints me greatly.

I’ve had a tough few months and am trying to appreciate the beauty around me.
#autumn #gratitude
A red and orange tipped maple. The spread of its branches is wider than it is tall. There’s a white home with a gray roof in the background and green grass. A fall woodland scene. Ther are many upright TRP trunks surrounded by yellow leaves that have fallen. A tree in the foreground has a striking swath of bright yellow leaves. Next to it is a bus with delicate light pink leaves.

Spotted this ray of sunshine in the garden today. It doesn’t mind the frost we had a few nights ago.
#bloomscrolling #gardening
A black-eyed Susan flower with bright yellow petals and an almost black seed head growing through a black cast iron plant stand. There is gardening debris: a black plastic bucket, a green plastic window planter box, brick, brown fall leaves, wood stakes.

I do things and then promptly forget. Last spring I must have shaken zinnia seeds in the flower pot by the front door. It’s on the north side of the house, but still managed to bloom. The frost a couple nights ago didn’t kill the plant. One tough bloom. And it’s orange! #bloomscrolling #gardening
An orange-petaled zinnia just starting to open up with large green leaves growing in a terracotta pot. The photo is taken from above. There is a hydrangea bush to its left that is way past its prime for the season. The view includes portions of a concrete sidewalk and a brick patio. An orange-petaled zinnia still slightly curled but opening up with large green leaves growing in a terracotta pot. The photo is taken from the side.

Screenshot of a social media post by Paris Vrahati, using the screen name "Gavin Newsom 2028." WISH I HAD SAID THIS: When someone uses the word, "illegals" I am done listening to what they have to say. I live in America, a nation stolen from the indigenous natives, built on the backs of slaves, & made prosperous by the sweat, & blood of immigrants. "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free." My country is not white. It's not Christian. It's American. It's made up of people from around the globe. Humans aren't illegal. But your dehumanization, & demonization should be.

No paper tigers here today!
A woman at the top of a flight of steps with an American flag spread behind her. There is a statue of a bronze tiger to her left and there is fall foliage behind her.

You ever think to yourself “but I am just one person, what can I do to make a difference?”

It turns out that “wear an inflatable frog costume and go downtown” is actually a really reasonable answer.

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.
