Smooth save

I don’t want 99% of the “advancements” being forced on and/or sold to me.

I want clean air, clean water, and a stable ecosystem and planet. I want free healthcare and education. I want justice and collective liberation.

I've been off the bsky for 9 months. Checking in! What's changed?

Every "void" in a fantasy novel seems like the physical manifestation of the "Archive" button in Gmail.

Can I count the ways?!

How about this: I will walk to Mordor and destroy the One Ring if that's what needs done, but please say there's double-breaktast waiting when I'm done.

I'm going to copy/paste this 🎤 drop the next time I feel even slightly controversial.

I'd assume by the name he could come.

He's here, here's there, he's every f$#&in where, ROY KENT!

Also, it's Adam the nonbinary who is good then undergoes a major gender transition and is very good.

I know a ton of millennials who make the boundaries in their relationships with their parents because they grew up with a social-emotuonal education that their parents never had. They are the grown ups in the relationship, not the immature ones who need firm but supportive guidance.

In a dramatic incident captured on video, U.S. Department of Homeland Security police Wednesday handcuffed one of Rep. Jerry Nadler aides in the congressmember's Manhattan office, which is in the same federal office building as an immigration courthouse. In the video, which was shared with Gothamist and filmed by a person who was monitoring activity in immigration court, DHS officers entered Nadler’s district office and accused staff members of “harboring rioters.” A Nadler staffer is seen crying and being handcuffed. Another officer is at a door trying to enter a private area of the office while a staffer asks for a warrant. DHS later said in a statement that “one individual” — the woman seen being handcuffed — had blocked police from performing a security check they intended to do based on information there were protesters in the lawmaker’s office. Later that day, protesters gathered outside of the federal building, demonstrating against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Department of Homeland Security officers invading a congressman's offices and arresting a staffer who tried to stop them is very, very bad. gothamist.com/news/homelan...

Contrast that to Adventures in Odyssey, which I have very fond memories of, but after listening to which the kids develop symptoms of hurtful religion that we have to work through.

I love anything that helpsy kids grow in a faith that we don't instantly have to deconstruct for their good or that of others.

And guess what?

We got VeggieTales DVDs from our library and they're still great.

I'm so, so pleased.

Portfolio Selected recent works

Just added the most recent pieces (minus the terrapins which are still hanging in an art show) to my website portfolio, in case you need some really cute art to look at rn genuinesnips.art/portfolio/

“apologies, I have another engagement”: cold, stiff, overly formal

“sorry, I’m needed elsewhere”: mysterious, intriguing, Batman-esque

Health legislation made by folks who think AI can replace the human experts they've fired. Misunderstood conclusions, broken links, and studies that don't exist.

I guess this is what happens when you spend decades preaching that academia can't be trusted.

For realz.

Have I ever done XYZ before?

No.

Can I email folks until I have a working bibliography and a couple of successful examples?

Yes?

Alright. Let's do it.

Do you have an unpublished doctoral dissertation?

Want to increase the number of people who have read it by a significant percentage?

You should just send me a copy.

Someone requested mine a couple of weeks ago and it absolutely made my month.

BREAKING: Scott Pelley just risked everything to make one thing clear:
The attack on free speech isn’t coming—it’s already here.

Journalists are being silenced, critics are being punished, and most of the media’s playing dead.

This is state-sponsored suppression. This is dictatorship in real time.

Can't we call it "people stocking up on bare essentials before the shortages begin from companies that have held onto ethics"?

Can we make that an acronym?

No idea why you all get this confession today.

It took me 3 years of college life before people stopped asking if I was homeschooled.

Always, always looking for stuff for teaching my kids about faith that we don't have to deconstruct in real time.

Sounds like a solid partnership to me.

America is complicit in the slaughter of the Palestinian people.

2.2 million people are trapped. Disease is spreading. Children are starving to death.

And we continue to provide U.S. military aid to Netanyahu.

What's the right term for when someone has their leg fully tattooed? Like a sleeve, but hip to ankle. Is it a pant leg? Can I compliment someone's pant leg?

Limiting the covid vaccine by age is like putting a deer crossing sign by the highway and hoping the deer listen.

You have three days, starting today, to leave a public comment with the FDA about, say, why COVID-19 boosters should remain available to everyone and also free. "Individual consumer" is the category you most likely want (unless you are one of the other categories; if so, choose that).
