A wild geranium? Idk but I love it

Tired of constantly being accused of thinking only about plants. I also obsess over the decay of society and cool bugs I see on the plants

The FBI just arrested a sitting judge.

There is an entire political movement that believes the statement “if you work full-time in America, you should be able to pay your bills and have a savings account with your paycheck” is radical. We must come to an agreement that it’s not radical to demand that.

It’s already a win for Hegseth that the conversation is around if he should resign and not if he should be jailed.

Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company xAI is running a massive data center in Memphis, Tennessee. The facility neighbors historically Black neighborhoods and is powered by 35 pollution-spewing methane gas turbines the company is using without legal permits.

Plenty of politicians on both sides of the aisle feel threatened by rising class consciousness.

And the press not only fully bought it, they aggressively “fact checked” the Harris campaign any time they mentioned the obvious reality that Trump’s campaign was underwritten by Project 2025.

So it begins

Mahmoud v. Taylor is being heard at the Supreme Court today and supporters of the freedom to read are holding a Rally for Inclusive Education. We stopped by to show our support! #freedomtoread #ireadbannedbooks #kidlit #booksnotbans #lgbtqkidlit

Gov. DeWine just signed SB1, a law ending “DEI” in Ohio public higher ed. Now that it’s law, U of Toledo just killed the following BA programs: • Africana Studies • Asian Studies • Disability Studies • Middle East Studies • Philosophy • Religious Studies • Women's/Gender Studies And… • Spanish

archive.ph/uqiav - this is going to have cascading impacts on many organizations... "The Justice Department canceled hundreds of grants to community organizations & local governments, including funding for gun-violence prevention programs, crime-victim advocacy & efforts to combat opioid addiction"

I sure hope an Apoquel generic hits the market next year... Supposedly the patent is up in 2026. For anyone else with a dog with severe allergies, it would be a huge help. $90 /month for allergy pills is no joke!

The fact that we're allowing this as a society makes me want to burn everything to the ground. There are many such inhumanities in our world, of course, but to think of little children struggling like this just brings out a rage I cannot properly articulate. gothamist.com/news/4-year-...

My first apartment in 1994 was $350/month. Adjusting for inflation, that apartment should now rent for $744/month. It actually rents for $1500. Greed and inflation are hurting the kids, not their Starbucks lattes.

for those who may not have seen the news homestarrunner.com

Israel has killed 1,694 people in Gaza since it broke the ceasefire a month ago - 595 were children, 308 were women, and 105 were elderly, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. #CeasefireNow

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.

"Kennedy’s disgust with and devaluation of autistic people fits neatly into a eugenic logic that views health as virtue, and sees illness, or difference, as a kind of moral lapse which should be subject to punishment or censure."

Nailed it

Here are some nice mushrooms

Whatever you celebrate at the start of spring, may you find joy and rest 💚 We've had a huge meal and now settling in for Ghost Rider, toddlers choice (He's got great taste in holiday films)

What even is this magic ✨💚 I'm high on spring. Also, cannabis. Oh happy day

Ishtar is Risen! 😘💚🐰

Happy #Easter

Lesson learned from some of my most important teachers: “What the world will become already exists in fragments and pieces in experiments and possibilities. It’s building the future from the present in all the ways we can." Ruth Wilson Gilmore

The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.

New York City. Keep protesting! Keep marching in the streets!

Guys, I love all of you, but the answer to RFK, Jr. is not that autistic adults hold jobs, pay taxes, and get laid, it's that everyone deserves to live even if they can't work, pay taxes, or get laid.
