A greeting for negligent penpals and procrastinating authors. Postcard from my collection, 1911.

Eating lunch at coop counter, few seats down a woman eats hers. A man joins. I try to tune em out & read. She denounces “the Zionist state.” That’s ok. Then she says her debit card glitched. “The Jews?” sez the guy. “Yes,” she says. “A disgusting people. Is that what u mean?” She nods. “Mm-hmm.” 1/

Read widely. You can learn as much from superhero comics as you can from Shakespeare, and vice versa. Read outside your genre and even your medium; you'll find solutions to problems you didn't even know you had.

THE WASHINGTON STATE BILL TO DENY GENDER-AFFIRMING CARE IS DEAD. Great job everyone! washingtonstatestandard.com/2025/02/22/r...

Those WERE my feet under that blanket. #dogsitting

Can I help you, sir? #dogsitting

I have now informed my mother of the riot thread. She laughed heartily and asked me whether I still had contact info for Mrs. K's granddaughter to tell her all about it. (I haven't been in contact with said granddaughter since I left Facebook in 2016.) Welp.

Oh yes, Homer’s famous “Tes Thdpssssps.” 👍🏻

This is extremely apocalyptically bad, but so are most of the other things, so… *vague hand gestures*

This is an excellent human, doing something extremely cool that I only sort of understand, but nevertheless, YAY!

It’s been a long fucking day, I’m tired, and I misspoke. Let me rephrase it in a more correct way. Fuck Hakeem Jeffries and almost every other elected Democratic official for forcing me to be the one to get arrested instead of them doing their goddamn job and being leaders.

He's not spoiled at all. #dogsitting

I designed a little T-shirt to raise money for the amazing and courageous @yellowfund.bsky.social -- all sales profits go directly to their work supporting reproductive freedom in the Deep South! If it sells 6 t-shirts, they'll be printed. www.customink.com/fundraising/...

Wild Coast Raw, the company responsible for the tainted food which is causing indoor-only cats to die of bird flu, is deleting comments on their Instagram about the topic. So they're killing pets and trying to cover it up. Cool.
