With President-elect Trump moving his inauguration indoors, the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies has announced that the majority of ticketed guests will not be able to attend the ceremonies in person.

Who else is really looking forward to not watching the Inauguration? 👀 👎

With everything so seemingly terrible these days & no sign of anything remotely hopeful in the near future, I thought you might need this photo of a baby giraffe.

To those who still call fox hunting a ‘tradition’: it’s nothing but barbaric cruelty. Real tradition is respecting nature, not destroying it. Time to enforce the ban and end the excuses!

Old white men do not represent Hollywood’s burgeoning diversity. They are anachronisms of a bygone era — when gender inequality, racism and misogyny were the norms.

see you next time

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.

I promise you, once you free yourself from the notion that other writers are your competition and start viewing them as your fellow weirdos who share similar special interests as you, your life in publishing will become so much easier.

My heart is broken. Mostly I've been angry lately, but today I'm just very very sad. We are losing everything that makes America great and replacing it with hate and stupidity. The America I know and love will never be the same. I'm so very very sad. This is a tragic loss.

Scratchboard art done in 2022. I bought a load of stuff to do this, was really hyped and excited about it, and then never touched it again. I should revisit this media.
