I frequently take comfort in the fact that the Universe is vast and beautiful and entirely unaffected by petty human foolishness

It’s been interesting (to say the least) watching people respond to this very basic post with BUT THINGS SUCK RIGHT NOW. Yes. They do. But we can’t out-anger fascists.

Happy #Caturday

Happy Summer Solstice!

Today had been me realizing over and over, all day long, that it is not Friday.

I'm way too awake this morning for the bout of insomnia I'm dealing with this week. Happy Thursday, y'all.

😽😽😽.

MONSTER SAYS THE ONLY THING FASCISTS ARE GOOD FOR IS DEVOURING

The #NoKings march in Dallas, Texas is HUGE!

The amount of “No One Is Illegal On Stolen Land” signs and t-shirts I saw at the No Kings Protest was beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. Step One is Recognizing Step Two is Returning We want our home back. We want our land back. We want to show you how to build a better world here again.

🥹 Millions of Americans are coming together on this #NoKings Day to reject authoritarian overreach, defend democracy, and stand up for their communities.

HOLY SHIT. That's one of every 15 residents of the city, btw.

A sign I liked at #Boston #Pride #NoKings parade

Don't mess with Texas!!! ❌️👑🇺🇸🇨🇱 #nokings #nokingsday #resist #june14

Chicago #NoKings

Louder for the "They're taking the good ones!" crowd.

Happy Friday the 13th to all who celebrate!

Shoreline crow, awaiting the storm..

Reminder that I AM LATINA AND PROUD. I am the product of immigration - my grandmother was undocumented and entered the country from Mexico as a baby. My mother was a fierce, gorgeous Latina woman of Mexican and Spanish descent.

Glad none of my reps are on here, but there are a shocking number of other CA reps here. Get calling, people.

I think for comparison's sake, it's important to point out all the times in history that fascism was stopped because people asked politely. So here's a thread of those instances 🧵

Not quite done, but worked on this little critter for about an hour, attempting to manage the anxiety.

About 44 minutes til the storm hits & not under a tornado warning so there's at least that.

About an hour & 1/2 till the storm hits. Giving up quietly panicking for posting about it.

It's raining but only on half my house.

Doyle and Verne are cosplaying one very long cat this weekend. #cats

We're smashing into Pride 2025 with a gang of radical queer writers and a brand new book: #WrathMonth We're channeling our fury into a new collection of biting, blood-splattered stories at the cutting edge of fantasy, horror, and science fiction. 💙📚🪐📚🌈📚🌈🚀💫

Happy Caturday 🐈‍⬛🤍

I love that i have a waterway to go walk around.

The egret was back, today with turtle friend!

Me, reading your tea leaves, but the wet damp herbs blacken, shadows seem to stretch and dance about the room, and unearthly voices wail from somewhere beyond mortal ken: "Uh. This week is a lucky time for being more creative. " 👀

You know you can just not use AI, right? You can make a choice not to be part of this. Even if your job uses it, YOU don’t have to in your normal life. You don’t have to let your kids use it. You didn’t have it three years ago. You can just…be on Team Human. You can choose.

Ooh this is interesting thread about the fencing dialogue in the famous fencing scene of The Princess Bride

Chicago going all in for pride today

CHICAGOIANS STANDING UP TO ICE!! Don’t let them erase this. Share this everywhere!

Oh, hey. TIDAL CREATURES is out in paperback today! If you want a book about weird alchemy, found family, moon deities around the world, academic politics, the destructive applications of peach trees, lesbians, and the Impossible City, this is the book for you.

Morning walk: two great white egrets ( I think?)(only one pictured here(

This was great!

Aurora alert! It’s possible the aurora boralis may be visible tonight as far south as Alabama. Start looking tonight after dark around 10 pm (I’ve attached both the NOAA and University of Alaska maps, the former is always very conservative with view lines) www.swpc.noaa.gov/communities/...

Today is National Biscuit Day, and it’s about time that I populated this account with biscuit (cookie) sets from the past few years. Here are some of my favourites. 🧵 First up, a set inspired by the delicious designs of William Morris and John Henry Dearle.

Finished up this cross stitch for a friend’s new baby, and I feel like a nice reminder from Ms. Marvel is always good for the timeline
