It’s the time of year when baby squirrels play in my backyard and accidentally fall out of the trees like fluffy overripe fruit. Thank god I have lazy dogs right now. Hahah

Last year, Kroger's CEO raked in $15.4 million — 457x more than its typical employee. Kroger also announced $7.5 billion in stock buybacks. I don't want to hear that Kroger can't afford to treat its employees fairly. Solidarity to these workers.

Thank you to the person who ordered the small cat sculptures from me today. I used the money to buy new glasses. The ones I’ve been wearing are scratched. This is a mini commentary of the life of an artist.

There is no way those cell phones aren’t gonna explode or electrocute you at some point. I don’t even want to call one.

Got me a bag of peanut m&ms. Eating all the green ones while making uncomfortable eye contact with people.

You just can’t read current events in this country right now and not be completely traumatized if you are even somewhat normal. Something has gotta give. People can’t live like this. Not sustainable. Too much negativity. Too much taking.

“The bill’s process for selling off lands runs at breakneck speed, demanding the nomination of tracts within 30 days, then every 60 days until the arbitrary multi-million-acre goal is met, all without hearings, debate or public input.”

"The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil. When truth leaves us, when we let it slip away, when it is ripped from our hands, we become vulnerable to the appetite of whatever monster screams the loudest."

sometimes i feel like the republican party is a big tornado that is coming to kill me. and the democratic party is the rickety shed that i'm hiding in. and i say "we should really fix this shed, because it's not doing much." and people say "what? why aren't you criticizing the tornado instead?!"

I don't know if anyone has suggested naming the new State Office Project after Melissa Hortman, but I think it might be a damned fine way to honor her memory.

I’m pretty sure everyone on my block is BBQing this weekend. The lighter fluid smell was so strong I had to go inside. Someone accidentally set their balcony on fire down the street. That’s how much BBQ is happening. 😂

When I tell you Los Angeles is an occupied city/county, this is what I mean… Yesterday, ICE agents showed up to a regular Saturday swap meet with armed Marines and a military helicopter overhead, like it’s a fucking war zone.

I think my favorite spam text is the one that says they are gonna suspend my car registration if I don’t pay them some toll road ticket by some date. I haven’t owned a car in 15 years. Next to that, I love the “are you free to play golf tomorrow” one. No. golf is more boring than a nap.

I really really needed to see that people hadn't given up and accepted this shit as inevitable, or (even worse) embraced it. And today showed us that beautifully. No one wanted in on his tank show, but people WERE HUNGRY to tell him to go fuck himself.
