A few photos of the Milky Way from just outside Greymouth, New Zealand last night. No editing, no filter. Taken with my iPhone 16 using a tripod and a long exposure. #stars #MilkyWay #AstroPhotography #NewZealand

If Americans accept the idea of sending soldiers off to die in Europe because the president didn't get a prize, then America as a country and a concept is pretty much over

A follow-up to the original ICE article, in which I talk about the DHS's response to the article and why it's so ridiculous

I also take on the "why are you mad that ICE isn't discriminating against lefties" cope, amongst other things
DHS Accused Me of a “Lazy Lie.” They’re Lying. Here’s the Proof.
The Trump administration is claiming the viral Story of my ICE Job offer is a lie. Good thing I kept the receipts.

If you are in Seattle, please go patronize this store because this is amazing content/promo 😂 (laughing to keep from crying, and I do kind of low-key want that orange spider plant I have never seen that before)

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Whenever there's a weird new noise in our place, we ALWAYS first ask, "What cat is doing what fucking NOW?" And we're inevitably right.
After watching this on a loop for two minutes, I decided it needed a soundtrack

Sticker Club is the best way to be a Peppy patron, especially during months like this where I can only work half-time because...uh...of a bulging disc in my neck :/

Except that Good's car wheels were turning away from the man who shot her, before he shot her. She was absolutely not using her vehicle as a weapon. She was fleeing from men in masks who were screaming at her.

I’m going to restock all the shirts that have run out this week, folks have been asking! I’m back in the studio from tomorrow, it’s the slow period, and I just found out I most likely have a disc bulge which is going to make work and life really hard. Sales appreciated x

Also there's a clear, major difference between the U.S. pres authorizing imperialist covert ops that are carried out by fully informed government orgs, and the U.S. pres launching an imperialist attack that's blatantly unconstitutional. Both are awful, yes, but the latter is an existential crisis.
ok but don't let "actually this is typical US behavior" stop you from yelling at Congresspeople etc.

the line between "stop being ignorant of your own history so you understand the bigger problem" and "it's always like this and it will never change so give up" is not as clear as I'd like it to be

Again: Trump would *relish* a response of global outrage, because it serves his ultimate end of alienating the US from our allies and establishing it as an isolated, white supremacist, authoritarian state, unbeholden to international standards of diplomacy, human rights, or ethics.
I don‘t think they’ve thought that far ahead? Or the global response. I think you were right earlier. How does a weak man feel strong again?
