As much of the world bends towards machine-made slop designed to keep you scrolling so they can serve you ads, there is something very healing about going outside, wearing a costume that I made with my own hands, and working together with an artist like @worldofgwendana.bsky.social to tell a story.

UPDATE: Donald Trump is so hellbent on denying people SNAP that he went all the way to the Supreme Court to block benefits.
Now Trump is trying to bully states into TAKING BACK payments they already made to families.
It’s chaos for the sake of cruelty.

My takeaway so far from TV Pete's mandatory corporate speech to military leadership: he really hates fat people, beards, and women. Also the silence from the room as he rambled about wokeness and "standards" was notable, including during the apparent laugh lines. Can't say whether he was sober.
