An editorial cartoon of MLK standing in front of chaos and wreckage with the words, "I plan to lead another non-violent march tomorrow"

Posting this 1967 Birmingham News editorial cartoon for all the people who don't realize that this is how MLK was viewed by a big chunk of white America.

Welp. Got asked again if I qualified for the “over 55” discount.

It’s rank hypocrisy of the highest order

A periodic reminder that the concept of “illegal” immigration is rooted in racism, xenophobia and eugenics.

A lot of families that showed up in the USA up until the 1920s that “came in the right way” just showed up in the USA. Which is the same thing many people who are considered “illegal” do.

I’m in a a floral black and orange dress in front the f a Xmas wreath which is still hung up in April for… reasons?

Yes, yes it’s ApriI. promise it’s not my wreath.

My history degree is useful every now and then.

“Wait! That’s Michel Foucault’s music!”

A+ reference. No notes.

That being said, I’ve read most of what you’ve written in the last few years and I think you’re a good, kind person who ultimately has an optimistic bent towards life. I like reading things that make me take a step back and reflect. Your writings often do that.

I appreciate that, and thank you.

I’m sorry this happened, Ari. I know the world we find ourselves in at this moment is very often troubling, horrific and a lot of fear is manifesting as vitriol. Often the recipients of said vitriol are people we have much more in common with than not.

There is a certain irony to being unable to find my concealer, only to find it right in front of me the whole time.

Yes. Yes it is.

Heyyyy. Love you!

Avowed is really really good.

Hey Rory!

Those of you thinking Kendrick Lamar had the worst halftime show ever clearly didn’t see Anita Bryant screeching “Glory, Glory, Hallelujah” at Super Bowl V.

Trying my best to get through the day to day anxiety that is living under another Trump administration…

Two photos of myself with a 3/4 profile view of my face in a blue, brown, yellow, black patterned dress.

Need to post here more often but hey here’s two more photos of me.

We just want to live our lives in relative peace. That’s all.

The cool thing about Bluesky is I’m far less likely to be harassed by transphobes here.

Anyway here’s a pic of me from yesterday!

Picture of me in my living room wearing a 2024/25 Liverpool home kit. It s red with white pinstripes and red white and yellow trim. I am smiling.

Look at what @heydaria42.bsky.social bought me for Xmas!

Congratulations Erin and Zooey!

Gall Bladder surgery tomorrow. Which I’m approaching with as much equanimity as possible.

Hi!

Ok! Yeah I really like that style of dress. Plus, pockets!

I really like that sweater top!
