Perhaps I am an artist who just figured out how to be one. Art, books, gaming, cats. I literally stopped and smelled a rose yesterday.

Sign of the day…

I’m trying to strike a balance between staying informed and keeping my sanity.

When I had a violent stalker who would graphically describe how he would have me gang raped, puncture my organs and and break all my bones, I was told the police "couldn't do anything". Consider this a reminder that they absolutely ✨can✨ do something. They just don't care about YOU.

CARTOON OF THE DAY

“History Doesn't Repeat Itself, but It Often Rhymes” – Mark Twain.

Other countries are so much better at dealing with attempted coups than the United States.

You’re tellin’ me

Here are some nice mushrooms

You're not "late to the party" when you enjoy an old book for the first time. Books don't have an RSVP deadline. The party started long ago, and guests show up when they're meant to.

I was very productive today (took a nap)

every single day

shut up, the nineties were five years ago

Wanna take mushrooms and watch the yule log channel for 12 hours?

And the BLM protests. For like one year tops it seemed like we might take how women and Black people are treated seriously and the American antibodies kicked into high gear.

A meteor shower

Habe neulich geträumt ich saß mit Christian Lindner am Küchentisch und als ich ihm sagte seine Wirtschaftspolitik sage mir nicht zu stand er einfach auf, proklamierte "Mir egal ich bin schon reich" und ging. Fürchte da muss man nicht allzu viel Traumanalyse betreiben.

I just kept saying over and over again, we don't live in the future, we live in the past. I am so glad it really clicked.

I regret to inform you that even though the leopards will eat their faces, people will not actually realize that there were leopards or that they no longer have faces.

Is this where I confess I wanted to build a board game about our justice system and show people how few would get through or that I wanted to make a recipe book of alternatives to the monopoly that also referenced lots of history? Might actually have something to do now.

One annoying thing about historical research is looking up how long it took to get from A to B in the US by train in 1880 and then looking it up now and realizing it was faster in 1880.

I’m noticing a recurring trend of people who can’t see their kids as complex individuals. They seem to instead view them simply as an extension of themselves. I don’t like that. As a parent you are there to mentor not control

Librarians moving dystopian novels to the nonfiction shelves.

I feel like I am about to fail another test, but I think I got it.

Cicero was a very wise man

Y'know, as an American who voted for Harris, who sounded the alarm on Trump and MAGA's fascism for a few years, I just feel like sitting back with a bag of popcorn and observing all the people who fucked around and are now in the finding out stage.

Worst Venn diagram ever

Community is medicine. Build your community. Good morning ☀️

So since people settling in and whatnot , we gonna talk about how the accounts with biggest visibility and voice are all white people? And how many people got starter packs with no Black people in it?

Be patient with your creativity, good things take time to develop.

i will not be making anymore jokes until you guys can prove you can handle it.

we’ve hit the “most people replying to your post don’t understand the joke” stage

When you know the real reason we are where we are these headlines feel like something... not sure I can put a finger on it though.

I am really trying to listen. Just hoping I am on the right track. This was a fantastic read. Thank you to my friend who sent it to me. truthout.org/articles/our...

Tim miller, who I disagree with often, said "we're all liberals now" & he's right. Either youre pro regime or youre against them and whether you came here via never trumping or leninist beliefs is absolutely irrelevant to the ppl on the other side because far as they care, everyone else is one side
