Show up, people! While I think "delay" might be a more accurate headline (for now), it speaks to the power of PEOPLE when we come together in support of our communities.

It boggles the mind because if you traveled back in time ten years and told people there would be automated systems to root out and eliminate any teaching on race and gender which doesn’t comply with the state libertarians would’ve been hopping up and down about their prophetic warnings.

In a world-first, #Ukraine has destroyed a Russian sub with an underwater drone--WHILE IT WAS in HARBOR in the port of Novorossiysk, a heavily protected naval base. Unclear if repairs are possible.

Russian Warship Go Fuck Yourself

The opinion of 17% of Americans is being accomodated at the cost of setting up internment camps, abducting innocent people off the streets, and letting asylum seekers die at the border

When the current Occupant of the White House shows you exactly the demented old man that he is, what is wrong with you if you can't condemn it or if you still support him?

Also, where is Vance and others who called for people to be fired after the Kirk shooting for far less.

NEW: ProPublica has found multiple cases of women with underlying health conditions who died when they couldn’t access abortions.

Tierra Walker, a 37-year-old mother, was told by doctors there was no emergency before preeclampsia killed her.

Ushering in spooky season with a series of photographs I call "The Tower," focusing on the (overused, but w/e) intersection of nature and construct.

"With every step through the garden,
The tower looked on."

A pair of birdhouses overlook a prairie at the aptly-named Prairie Wolf Park just outside of Grand Rapids. A lovely place with old apple orchards.

A couple shots of a red wing blackbird from East Paris Nature Preserve in Grand Rapids. This fellow was a very willing, if wary, subject as he showed off his eponymous red wings for the camera.

What do I need for myself right now? For someone to tell me some good news.

I don't have any control over that, but I can just do it myself for others. My friends have some love/good news coming their way. If I need it, they probably do, too.

- you clean up that banksy?
- sure did, your honour, leaving a perfect, permanent outline, imbuing the work with real fuckin gravitas while making its point better than the artist did himself just like you asked

They erased the new Banksy mural in London. But the stain remains.
Side-by-side images of Banksy’s mural on the Royal Courts of Justice in London. On the left, the artwork appears faded and scrubbed, leaving only a ghostly outline of a judge raising a gavel over a protester holding a placard. On the right, the mural is fully visible in sharp black and white stencil, showing a judge in a traditional white wig and robes striking down at a protester who defends himself with a bloodied sign.
