I consider it a sort of sacrament to eat at least one raspberry from every patch I find.

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

I was not put on this earth to work. I was put here to get a new hobby every week and then move on as soon as I get even a little bit good at it

This time of the year I can’t resist the voices of my ancestors saying, “Eat all the fruit and vegetables you can! Pickle and preserve the rest! ALL OF IT!!”

I hated the first 10 minutes of Murderbot… but oh boy did the final episode make up for it.

Paramount+ sub = $60 a year

Shift that $ to your @pbs.org station instead and you’ll do two good things at the same time. Do it.

Currently watching steampunk D&D while eating a phenomenal “what’s been in the freezer too long?” monstrosity of a meal, drinking a THC seltzer, while my dog naps next to me. My younger self didn’t even know she could dream of this.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

Sitting with my beloveds, listening to waves lapping at some of the oldest rocks on the planet, is pretty hard to beat.

I just got to the episode of Andor where a peaceful city is occupied by military forces and citizens are coaxed into a confrontation where heavily armored troops attack a legally gathered crowd and then the media is like “violent protestors” and I just wish this show was applicable to real life

No Kings in Two Harbors, Minnesota. Rally moved indoors to a packed church as we mourned the shootings this morning. Joining in person with neighbors feels more important than ever.

No kings

Fours different hands pull a golden crown apart, surrounded by the words "Many hands make light work."

My inner monologue has been that long tense note that plays in all the disaster movie trailers for far too long and I'm getting pretty tired of it.

If you've been trying to put words to why all the "big tent" talk about "winning the middle" to defeat fascism that's coming from allegedly moderate alleged pragmatists seems like such wrong-minded nonsense, well I wrote all about that.

Winning the Middle

What makes for a purity test? What makes for a big tent? Unpacking the apparently pragmatic demand that we Speak Low about fascists to beat fascism.

Whimsical folk festivals are just top-tier cute human behavior. Let’s all gather to celebrate the sharpening of a giant pencil!

I hope you love something beautiful and meaningless. For me, it's football. I don't care what it is for you, but I wish you a deep love for something that means nothing until you give it meaning through your attention.

How do I convince YouTube advertisers that I’m not into D&D for war games, but to play pretend and explore community, resistance, and emotions with my best friends???
