I avoided this app for a month, come back and am instantly enraged. Probably time to delete the app. It’s not the apps fault. It’s the leftists clambering all over themselves to point fingers at each other for not being left enough.

It’s July. Just because Pride month is over doesn’t mean I stopped being queer and fighting for my family’s rights to exist! Stonewall was a protest! Keep protesting!

This is the last year to see an Alan Wrench designed effigy. Master carpenter and craftsman.

Reshma Saujani’s commencement speech @ Harvey Mudd is the exact message we need right now. Although her focus was on gender, you can easily substitute race, immigrant status, etc. Worth watching the full speech

🔥JONES: “If they come for one of us, they will come for all of us. No one is expendable.”

Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social speaks powerfully at @hrc.org about the importance of not leaving anyone behind in the fight for equality. #PrideIsAProtest #PrideMonth

Hey Lit majors and academics, looking for a copy of “We Interrupt to Bring You” by William Stafford. Search engines are not helping me find which book it’s in. Anyone know?

Our camp is called Starbase 80 Shuttle, with our Shuttle (camper) the Sally Ride hosting a kinetic art garden. A light art set up in our shade pavilion at night, and a Corndog Social/Starfleet Recruitment event. I’m so excited!

Reading responses on a science thread. Someone actually tried to say the science renaissance was monks doing science. What? In what revisionist history is this person living?

Plantation caught on fire today. Flames got put out. And started right back up elsewhere in the house 🫢

Enjoy!

Well that was exciting. Tornado rolled by. Our house just doesn’t have power, again! Only ever our side of the street. 🙄 Lots of big hail. All calm now.

The year we set sail
This pirate ship hovers off the ground a full story to mimic the optical illusion of Fata Morgana which was the theme for that year.

I’m sick of the hammer and sickle being used to symbolize the need for economic change… to me it symbolizes progroms & murder of Jewish communities.

I think it’s time to embrace my inner crone. I’m realizing I can still go to the club as a crone. I just bring my sketchbook and pens, go to karaoke night, and enjoy others having fun while I sit and make art. So no matter your age… make stuff in physical public places and embrace the crone!
