This Valentine's Day, don't buy anything from corporations!
Show her you care by buying from a Mom & Pops store or people posted on the streets.

Personally, the Flower district businesses in Los Angeles have been hit hard economically: I'll be supporting them and random people on the streets.

ONLY YULE

A plate of holiday cookies that look like gingerbread people. The text on each reads: Stand by your pan. Water your tree. Don't plug your space heater into a power strip, and the last cookie, very concerningly reads, we're alive.

The image is a play on "I have no mouth and I must scream" But says "I have a mouth and ice cream"

Who amongst us has not found themselves in situations in which they’d like to bury themselves upside down and just pretend that they’re a plant. Squids are such real ones. ❤️

Also, Hard Rock International? …are they hoping to build a Hard Rock Cafe inside the White House?

A handful of my poems that I hope, one day, won’t feel so relevant.

Defunding scientists doesn’t make the climate crisis go away.
Empathy is not just a virtue; it’s the best virtue.
Feed Gaza. Stop the genocide.
Due process is for every person.
Healthcare, shelter, and food are basic human rights.

Fox Mulder from X-Files saying “Hey, you got to stay alive if you want to stick it to the government”

“If you die, you let them off the hook.”

Needed this reminder today.

Happy Midsommar to all who celebrate! 🌼🌼🌼

Me: No kings!

King In Yellow: (8 feet tall, lurching in corner of room) You talking about me?

Me: Nah man, you’re cool

Have a friend who's a school teacher. 2nd grade.

ICE kidnapped a first grader that went to her school this weekend.

Called my reps. They don't give a shit. Very awesome. Cool. Cool country we live in. No laws. Nothing matters.

Happy Easter ✨🐇✨

Once again, I was left to wonder: was Pete Hegseth signal chatting military attack plans to everyone but me??

Am I the one that’s insecure, or is it his communication practices that are insecure?

this whole administration is like when they shut off the containment unit in ‘ghostbusters’

2025 is the year of I told you so in the worst, most unsatisfying way possible. 0 out of 5 stars.

"Things people are angrily shouting that could be about Blue Prince or the American Congress"

AI is contributing to the need for more computing hardware, which puts a strain on the supply of rare earth minerals, which is why we’re deep sea mining.

So those fake AI videos of deep sea “creatures” are not only bullshit, they are contributing to the destruction of real deep sea ecosystems.

I’m still trying to figure out how one should cope with the world these days. I made these for myself but am sharing here in case anyone else could use a little pep talk from some wise women. Hang in there. We got this. 🖤

Me and who?

Same!
