Miss Lucky keeps watch during my virtual meeting.

No shit.

Remember your carbon monoxide detectors. If you "keep smelling gas" or "I always feel whoozy when I come by this one spot" call the gas company. I called once, apologized b/c it was probably in my head, the guy tested the area, then an entire swarm descended on us because we had a gas leak.

I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.

If you’re happy and you know it stay in bed If you’re happy and you know it stay in bed If you’re happy and you know it getting up will surely blow it If you’re happy and you know it stay in bed.

I took a very long drive for some round birds. These are Willow Ptarmigans up in Quebec, aka Awebo birds. I love them so much.

I loved it in Pinocchio, but in real life... not so much. 👀 😱 #WhaleOfA-Tale

On Feb. 14th I try always to give honor to one of the greatest contributors to American democracy in our nation’s history, Frederick Douglass. Born into slavery, Douglass never knew his actual birthdate, and adopted Feb. 14th as the day. His penetrating insights about our country inspire me daily.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

New clips!

It's a hood!

This Super Bowl Sunday, here's a reminder of what real courage looks like.

Do I have this right? Elon Musk - the guy in charge of preventing wasteful spending - dropped $40M on a Super Bowl ad? We could permanently house 800 homeless veterans for $40M. Or provide five million meals to the hungry. Or replace lead pipes in 8,500 homes.

It's a good time of year to make something cozy

if the president can say “i don’t like the department of energy,” and within a week it’s closed, then the constitution means nothing, and the president’s entire claim to power is the loyalty of the military. either he is constrained by the constitution or he’s a dictator, there isn’t a middle ground

I made a thing that attaches to my phone. A wristlet? A lanyard? What are we calling these?

It’s a constitutional crisis yes. But it’s also theft. They’re looting public resources for private gain.

When the Patriot Act was passed, libraries got requests for patrons’ borrowing history. We were prohibited from disclosing those requests. We deleted and shredded those records and stopped tracking reading history for that reason. ALSO.

Federal funding allowed me to exist because I cannot afford healthcare or food due to being disabled. During my federally funded existence, I helped dig up a new species of Mosasaur in ND. I made art for some paleontology publications.

This is the energy I'm looking for.

a never ending month

Egg prices hit record highs this week. Much of the increase is the result of egg shortages brought on by avian flu. How has Trump responded? By ordering public health agencies to cease communications with the public. His presidency is a threat to our health and our wallets.

The mountain was out this morning 🌅

This is how you do it...

alright you wanna know how to support trans people? hire them. It's REALLY hard already for visibly trans people to get jobs, even before this shit. Support places that have trans people working front of house, and make sure owners know that's part of why you're there.
