We often look back on the seminal moments in our history and wonder "What would I have done?" This is our moment. This is our time. We must stand up. We must speak out. We must do everything we can to stop a President who has every intention of destroying our democracy.

It’s a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident. We cannot allow this to be normalized or forgotten.

“Frog, can you be as wonderful as this?” said Toad as he danced all over the stage. There was no answer.

I'm throwing up and screaming

i miss the early internet. people were like “you gotta see this dude. this cat sure is long.” and they were right. it was really long. it never shoulda gotten any more complicated than that.

“We look brave,” said Frog. “Yes, but are we?” asked Toad.

AOC: What they like to call as radical, I believe is common sense. I believe that when a person gets sick, they shouldn’t go bankrupt in the wealthiest country in the history of the world. Common sense I believe that a minimum wage should cover the minimum cost to live. Common sense...

Good morning, doves

I love to call my Senators' offices three times per week and try to cajole them into doing the most elementary political messaging and strategy. This is what it means to be an engaged citizen: leaving a strenuously polite voicemail for a 74yo on a more regular cadence than I talk to my parents.

A new Goonies movie *and* a global arms race? The 1980s are back, baby!

Sure would be cool, since I'm about to lose health insurance 🥲 I can dream...

Okay I needed this

Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years. Sorry, President Trump. We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.

In February 1886, the Burlington Coasting Club hosted a week-long Carnival of Winter Sports. 40,000 people attended, and the events included coasting (bobsledding), ice skating, snowshoe races, and on February 26th, the first international ice hockey tournament!

I'm incredibly honored to have painted the Pixies for Dungeons & Dragons’ new Monster Manual! A huge thank you to my amazing art director, @furygalluzzi.bsky.social for trusting me with this project! It was an absolute joy to work on. 11x14 inches, oils on wooden panel⁠

Someday I'll use a different word to start wordle, and that'll be the day it was my word. And it will crush me.

Beautiful weekend on a lake! #newengland

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

President Donald Trump sparred with Maine’s Democratic governor during a meeting of governors at the White House on Friday, with Gov. Janet Mills telling the Republican president, “We’ll see you in court,” over his push to deny federal funding to the state over transgender athletes.
