Hey, Congress! Know what we do at work when something goes horribly wrong over the weekend? We drop our plans, go to the office, and get to work fixing it immediately. We don't wait until everyone is available for a meeting next week. Just a thought.
I want my representatives to stop telling me that what the Republicans are doing is wrong and illegal. No shit. Tell me what we're DOING about it.
ICE nabbed parents waiting for kids at school bus stops in Ypsilanti Michigan yesterday. Fuck ICE. Fuck the Republicans (politicians and voters) making this happen.
"They shouldn't have resisted", "they shouldn't have been armed", "they threatened officers," "they were breaking the law." When we get past this coup, remember this is the same narrative we hear every time a black or brown person is killed. When we fix this, we have GOT to fix it for everyone.
We ALREADY have ICE concentration camps.
We are ALREADY so far gone.
Fuck the people who support this evil.
Since Trump's House Speaker Moses Johnson is refusing to display this Memorial Plaque at the Capitol, we're just going to have to post it ourselves. Please share with everyone.
Got word the hardcover print proofs are in the mail! Can't wait!

Today's road trip!
Cover of the Changeling Sea
Read A CHANGELING SEA by Patricia A. McKillip. What a work of art. I felt taken by the hand and led gently into a dream where I spent time in another life. Realistic fairy tale fantasy with an imaginary quality like you got in Secret of Kells. Cover by Michael Whelan is absolutely perfect.
Trump isn't "acting like a dictator." He is a dictator.
Republicans aren't "acting like fascists." They're fascists.
It's time to change how we talk about this.
August 31st, 2025: House Oversight Committee announces plans to interview Epstein survivors on September 2nd.
September 1st, 2025: White House announces that the Republican President is making a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT on September 2nd.
What an odd coincidence.
REHEADLINING:
"Rich person spends millions on philanthropic endeavor."
VS.
"Rich person unilaterally decides how wealth we generated with our work gets spent."
Tax. The. Rich.
This is fine.
So sorry, Matt. My deepest sympathies.
We played Cracker Barrel Has Fallen and had a blast. Hat tip to @oopsallsmurph.bsky.social for giving us a night silly fun. And if you're wondering, the Waffle House Staff made it out alive despite the best efforts of their manager to leave them for dead! oopsallsmurph.itch.io/cracker-barr...
When an academic specializing in a historical topic utilizes imagery created with generative AI, they are knowingly inserting false data into the historical record. This willingness to ignore truth brings all of their work unto question.
So where and when? Who is in charge here? @sanders.senate.gov? @aoc.bsky.social ? I'm ready. Shit has gone way over the top. Point us in the right direction. I'm not asking for violence. We pretty much DESTROYED Tesla in a couple weeks. What's the next target? We need some freaking marching orders.
It's worth noting that this appears to be a direct result of Union negotiation. So kudos to CostCo but also to organized workers.
Apparently, we actually DID light the fire.
Same.
I really dislike the word "problematic" for utterly petty reasons. "Problematic" has 4 syllables. "A problem," which could be used in pretty much every situation where "problematic" is used, has 3 syllables. It's an unnecessary linguistic flourish. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
Right??? Every single "It's only FF if you have X" box is ticked for me.
important to be loud about black history month, juneteenth, pride, and every other thing that US government is actively trying to hide this year
This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.
I know. I was there in those camps.

Immigrants and refugees should be welcome in our country.
