I considered not sharing this because, well, it's just TOO SAD, and so many of us are emotionally spent, but it needs sharing. THIS IS WRONG. NO child should EVER feel this amount of anguish.

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

I, for one, can't wait!! How many supporters could Boo get?.. makes me laugh, thinking a tiny chihuahua could get a ton of love in his run for president. Follow our weird dog and I promise you'll be rewarded with a ton of adorable pics to lighten your days. He deserves it.

Some insight for those wondering "WHAT DO WE DO NEXT?" In our current political environment my advice is: 👏Listen 👏Better. Listen to ALL, including your neurodivergent community. We have keen observational skills, especially when it comes to human behavior. We often see what you cannot. Pic as tax.

Happy year of the snake! I would argue that the snakes of the United States are just as varied and pretty as our birds. A few years ago I made a poster to try and prove it. Drawing this took many months and a lot of research. You can get it here: topatoco.com/collections/...

Nothing to see here. Literally. Download the Constitution because it no longer appears on whitehouse.gov. When you search for it, a lot of other bullet point shit appears (ending birthright citizenship, etc). 🚨 WE IGNORE THIS AT OUR OWN PERIL 🚨
