Trump allegedly told GOP leader, "no one gives a [bleep] about housing." A new report reveals how President Trump is prioritizing his culture war above all else.

We absolutely give a shit about housing.

every GOP administration since Reagan has been more and more fascist, and every Democratic administration since Reagan has done fuck all about it beyond serving as a pause before the next giant lurch to the right

A color photo of six drawers in a chest of drawers. They have been painted with an inexpert and blotchy undersea scene. There is kelp. There are what started out to be holdfasts. The artist got distracted a lot and wandered off for months. There are jellyfish thanks to an Etsy stencil. There is an odd looking school of minnows. There is drippy paint. And best of all there are painted foam fish - combo of gelli plate and gyotaku, it seemed like a good idea at the time - tied to 3 of the handles.

A color photo of the same chest of drawers as the other photo, revealing a hutch of shelves on top, in all its cluttered glory. It was white when I got it, made of some weird laminate, and the interior of the hutch was an awful barn red.

Last fall i bought a hideous 90s white chest of drawers off Facebook marketplace for $50. I have been transforming it - while using it, I bought it to put my clothes in - it's about done. 1 draw handle & 4 screws have gone missing & it needs more fish, but πŸ˜πŸ€£πŸ˜„ it is terrible & wonderful. #myart

Dweezil liked a picture of my cat on a very very early iteration of Instagram, maybe 2012 or 2013? And I still feel a little giddy about it.

At the Moda Center to see Brandi Carlile way the hell up in the nosebleed seats and how do people do this? In my defense the last stadium is was in was Atlanta to see Neil Young in like 1985 and we mostly snuck around the floor. This is terrifying.

we appear to have four competing fascist movements jockeying for control: blood & soil nazism under miller and hegseth, darwinian ecofascism from rfk, technofascism under vance and musk, and one Big Wet Hitler who understands the true animating core of the american volk is a deep love for shopping

Thom Tillis is behaving like a decent human being. WTAF? Where was this version of him a decade ago when I lived in West Asheville?

Same. He was my neighbors congressperson- oh NC, I weep for you but I don't miss you - and he was absolutely consistently utter shit. Now he grows a pair. Actually I think he's scared of hell after being in the 1st Trump white house. As he should be.

BLM Announces Plan to Fell Oregon's Last Great Forests One billion board feet per year... 30 days to make your voice heard.

You only have a short time to comment. They are trying to destroy our forests to enrich a few logging company executives and the politicians they’ve paid off.

Everything Israel has done in Gaza was a stress test for the US govt. Since world leaders allowed Israel to do a blatant genocide & slaughter innocent civilians so brazenly & openly they set the precedent that gives the US geopolitical permission to operate anywhere in the same openly barbaric way.

just became aware of this--the regime wants to clear-cut massive chunks of Oregon's old growth forests in the name of timber production.

you have until March 23rd to comment.

i know we have endless fucking things to scream at politicians about--this is an important one too.

My friend and hairdresser did a deep dive into the alternate timeline / weasel theory and she is deeply convinced it's true, citing all kinds of weird shit as proof. I'm down with it.

A square color photo of 3 white pelicans in or just above the water. The one in front has outspread wings and seems to be landing on a piling.

#BirdoftheDay theme is #WideOpenWings and this American White Pelican fits the bill; wings so wide they aren't even all in the frame. πŸ˜ƒ also the alternate theme is perched on something other than a branch - in this case, air. Levitating! #photography #birding #pelicans #whitepelican #oregoncoast

A tumblr post from user nitewrighter:

Me: I don't get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I'm like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now?

The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it's the fascism. You're completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you're also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you're going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances.

Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW.

Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM.

No, you just didn't look it up and assumed that quark in a British recipe was naturally the same as quorn in the US because, idk, the recipe seemed very vegan otherwise and they both begin with q.

Quark is cheese. Quorn is, well, whatever quorn is.

Dinner is going to be . . .. interesting.
