Left, liberal, progressive, Democrat, radical, socialist, punk, comrade, furry, I don’t give a fuck what you call yourself as long as you’d kick a fascist in the shins given the chance.

I've always left and liberal interchangeably to describe myself and it annoyed me when some aggro internet dweebs gave them specific meanings and decided one was a pejorative. There's so many people whose ideology is solidly leftist who call themselves liberal because they're not terminally online

The people railing about Cowardly Liberals right now really don’t seem to understand how I bet at least 90% of the people who show up to protest would self-identify as if you asked them about their political beliefs

I am one bad night’s sleep away from cleaning out my sinuses by sticking a crochet hook up my nose.

You can file “elk” under “Frequently Underestimated Wildlife” too. It’s rutting season here in the Rockies, and the number of people who will get out of their cars and approach a 1,000 pound bull elk with 5’ long antlers …

Pics: Estes Park, CO last year when a large elk herd crossed the road by me.

Dear Companies,

I am reserving a corner of my rage, which burns with the passion of a thousand dying suns, for when you use communication avenues to remind me you exist and no other reason. Pointless notifications, email, real mail, texts — you are mostly reminding me you have nothing to say.

I WILL die on that hill, fist bump of solidarity. No one is an acceptable loss, no one will be sacrificed. Fawning and capitulating will not save anyone.

People say “Oh you’re in computers, are you worried about AI taking your job?” And I say “Pffft, no. I AM worried about our economy collapsing like a poorly built blanket fort, though.”

I am trying so hard to recontextualize it somehow. Maybe, something like she is a wild creature (in his eyes at least) who has spotted a trail cam? Like this pallas cat? youtu.be/Sg8FMNEt8KY?...

I went apple and pears picking w my weavers guild and we filled the whole guild refrigerator. My forager heart is singing “WE HAVE SUCH RICHES, WE SHALL SURVIVE THE WINTER” despite knowing these are for a jelly making fundraiser.
