I really enjoyed the first Fear Street movies, but Fear Street: Prom Queen is…not good.

So based on the reaction to my #ThingThursday post, I should be making more weird little guys. If anyone sees a disheveled woman digging around in the brush near oak trees it’s probably just me looking for appropriate sticks.

I found this interesting oak twig that looked like a weird little guy. My MIL insisted he needed eyes so I gave him several. I also had this broken cloche that I glued back together and disguised the repair with bark and lichen. So now the weird little guy has a home. #ThingThursday

At the newsletter right now: A Texas woman was just released from jail after five months - FOR A MISCARRIAGE. While she was jailed, the county turned her fetal remains over to a crisis pregnancy center - which then named the fetus and gave it a public funeral. jessica.substack.com/p/texas-jail...

something something don't speak ill of the dead but with Connolly passing that's 3 dems who've died in office this year and i think it's long last time we have a major reckoning with political age limits and the "lifer politician"

Former chair of the Tennessee Libertarian Party 👇🏽

How many more stories are going to be written questioning the mental acuity of Joe Biden while ignoring the accelerating cognitive decline and derangement of Trump?

Really loving our new weekly national tradition of asking the Supreme Court "hey, are there laws?" and getting back "I guess," 7-2 with Alito and Thomas dissenting

The appropriate answer to this is "Who gives a single fucking shit? He was better as a dead guy than the people installing the Plane Crashing Machines and disappearing people off the street so they can cash in on military contracts while firing veterans." It's possible to not take the bait, I swear!

#ThingThursday snuck up on me again, but here is the finished piece.

this should be career ending

I think if they ever outlaw AI it won’t be because the AI is too smart. It’ll be because people are too stupid to realize AI is not smart and keep using it as a therapist and sending themselves into psychosis by letting an LLM determine what their spiritual and philosophical beliefs should be.

I could be wrong but maybe the “staffing shortages” at places like this aren’t caused by a tight labor market and are, in fact, caused by nobody wanting to work in a hellhole that abuses children.

Rep. Menendez: "They had over 20 armed ICE HSI officers, they were heavily armed, their faces were covered, and they wearing no identification. So this is who they chose to have come engage with the mayor of Newark and 3 elected members of the House of Representatives."

WIP for my next shadowbox. It’s beach themed! #art

This part

Come check out these pups!

one thought i have reading this (great) thread is that the administration has been proceeding as if there is no chance they will ever face a crisis or a sudden challenge, and has destroy its capacity to respond to one should it arise

“Male loneliness” is kind of the perfect antifeminist complaint, because it articulates the moral logic of patriarchal entitlement very neatly: that men deserve women’s attention, company, devotion, sex, and care, and women should provide these to men even at the cost of their own wellbeing.

June has been with us for a long time waiting for the right family. If anyone near us in Virginia or North Carolina is looking for a new bestie, she’s waiting for you! #adoptdontshop #dogsky #dogsofbluesky

So I snagged this antique Chinese wedding bed for $350 and now have a conundrum. Do I: a) Order a custom mattress that tall people will be pretty cramped on b) Use a queen like the prior owner and just have it hang off the edge c) Find a carpenter to expand the base without wrecking it #antiques

Bulk order of animal skulls arrived for my weird little crafts. #art #artsupplies #taxidermy

As an introvert I am horrified to discover that I have somehow made plans for five weekends in a row.

I really wish more articles were this succinct in their analysis of our current shitshow.

I’m so confused by the folks who said that raising the minimum wage would increase the price of every day goods while also being okay with tariffs raising the price of every day goods… I reckon they are okay paying higher prices as long as it doesn’t help anyone making a minimum wage.

thursday? already? pls check out my thing. it's a botanical abortifacients watercolor palette with yellow made from tansy, red from bloodwort, green from mugwort, and a blue/green from yarrow #ThingThursday

yeah i am pretty much on the side of primary everyone

one more reason i'm not that worried about AI replacing jobs super broadly is that it an LLM doesn't know how to ignore directions from a boss that are actively detrimental to a business

Again, my wife lost her excellent job at a nonprofit Seattle hospital because the trump administration simply stopped paying medicaid reimbursements at the beginning of the year, throwing it into complete financial turmoil the cuts are already here

Today, 16 Senate Dems voted for ANOTHER Trump appointee. Tell me again why I shouldn’t criticize Democrats? Tell me again why I shouldn’t fight for better Democrats to represent us?

What I got up to this weekend with the MIL. #art #beachcombing #taxidermy

Bezos is such a little bitch.

There's a new conservative study purporting to prove that abortion medication is dangerous. Let's talk about why it's horseshit. To start, it's published by a conservative think tank, not peer-reviewed, and contradicts decades of credible research showing mifepristone is safe

Consider what they want us to believe.

If you wonder why men *obsessed* with the United States having more children are kidnapping children and sending them to other countries, those children were the incorrect color.

Every Monday I wake up, fully cognizant of the fact that the President took a perfectly healthy economy back behind the shed and shot it, and then I go about my job for the week like that didn’t happen because I have no control over it. It makes me feel ridiculous.

Thinking about how many people had to willingly help — or just not stop and say “hang on, really?” — to “deport” a US citizen child with cancer.

I feel like I’m losing my mind with the lack of wall to wall coverage on disappearing *children with cancer* i keep saying this, but it’s not 5% of the uproar that came from Biden’s debate. “kids peeing in litter boxes”, a thing that never happened, got orders of magnitude more coverage.

this guy is a world class asshole

MIL is visiting so I got to give her this ocean themed teacup diorama I made for her. We’re going to make some together this weekend.
