Afternoon Update: Still sitting at $2620 needed to pay off my back rent. #MutualAidRequest

Everyone should read @amalelmohtar.com’s “The River Has Roots”. It is achingly beautiful, and speaks volumes with so few words. It is a love story of language that roots itself in the familiar, but also weaves the known into something that is just out of reach.

Take the name of any movie and replace one word with daddy. The Neverending Daddy

I'm not sure I've ever seen a professional sports team with the level of "commitment to the bit" that the #Pirates have this season.

I'm sorry to have to ask, but I have a payment due today & I do not have the money for it. I need $125 by tonight. I have $50. Anything helps, please.

This was unintentional, but it works as a great companion to Prime Meridian, which I read earlier this year.

The Offering 🗡 (at a price) #art

Yesterday, a cashier told me he thought it'd be better if we no longer had to participate in capitalism. I agreed & said we really just need a world less hostile than this. He nodded. What I took from this is: I think we all completely underestimate how exhausted every single person is right now.

Thinking about that time when I realized that- "oh, I love the illustrations in this book" "that's such a cool concert poster" and "what a neat art exhibit in the toddler room at the Children's Museum" -were all the same guy.

[looking at a picture from a year ago] Wow, have you lost weight? No, I just stubbornly insist on becoming more attractive.

Look, intellectually I know what the words "limited edition" mean, but why can't I buy that art print that just popped into my head from seven years ago?

"abolish ICE" is the moderate position. the progressive position is "nuremberg ICE now". you can't say what the 'radical leftist' position is but, unspoken as it is, it will only become more popular over time

🧵 Reposting these without the watermark for no particular reason. Free to use or print. They're PNG format, drawn at 8 x 12 but I just checked they scale to 24 × 18 with no issue on an iPad. If you'd like to print them this weekend or whenever. Stay safe. Much Love ~ The Orion. 🖖🏻💚

I’ve seen a lot of hand wringing about the dangers of going to No Kings protests and gently, I want to tell people to chill a little. These are permitted marches and the point is to be out there and seen en masse. Please don’t scare off people who are maybe going to their very first protest

This actually encouraged me to buy Kids Wolf and Kraken Boy by @sentencebender.bsky.social because I was annoyed that I wasn't technically allowed to put him on this list.

The thing about echo chambers... the minds you most want to reach out to are never going to listen to a word you say. They don't live in echo chambers, they live in nightmarish fantasy worlds where nothing you say is even relevant.

Look, it's kind of hard to listen to the "No Kings" talk when our next Democratic presidential nominee will almost certainly be this guy...

At this brewery, and this is terrible, but I thought there was something seriously wrong with the speaker system, but it just turned out they switched over to a live band 😬

Cars After 'Cars. #Toronto #Streetcar #Photography

So, you know how after there is a terror attack, they'll talk about what terrorist organization is taking credit for it? That's pretty much what this is, right?

Am I supposed to be answering these questions? Dammit.

I've been writing this evening, but all of my sentences seem to be ending in question marks. I think it might be because my brain is permanently tuned to "what the fuck."

Not the point, I know, but was Alex Padilla being pushed around by oompa loompas?

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you?

rode on a ferris wheel for the first time! we're doing tourist stuff today haha
