Answering to many names.
Pinned
And so, to review like I do with my kids before they leave:

Are we happy?
Are we healthy?
Are we safe?
Are there any nazis within reach we must deal with immediately?

Good. Now go fuck some shit up.
Hey mutual aid people.

I need $400, today, and I'm asking you to trust me when I don't give any details.

I'm not asking folks who don't know what I do to do anything. But if you do and you can, now is one of those times. And it's timely.

Overshot the mark in under ten minutes you're all beautiful and we're gonna feed more than one person today.

Y'all are amazing, problem solved! And just in time too.
This is a timely within a couple hours concern, before 6pm EST, and there's kids in the house so if you can, please do.

She spent the day taking photographs of a protest in Nashville about how in Minneapolis a lady got shot in the face.

One understands she is more than a little pissed off.
She settled with the city after it promised to reform how it uses less-lethal munitions. But those reforms never came and Tirado (@killermartinis.bsky.social) has spent the years since struggling to hold law enforcement accountable.

A thing I'd recommend is taking some time to write a letter to you in six months. Screw a new years resolution: resolve what kind of citizen you'll be in 2026.

Making your decisions now helps in the moment when things will seem confusing. Write down your road map: what is good and valuable?

Round one of soup day went well enough that we have acquired provisions for day two. We lack only the containers, which can be had in the morning.

Y'all are amazing. Keep chipping in, I'll cook until the cash is dry

It is worth reminding you on this Christmas day that the only good Christmas movie is Michael Bolton's Big Sexy Valentine's Day Special

I hope your day is as good as the movie.

It is the annual Making Of The Soup. If you want to feed some folks sleeping rough, I got me two hundred takeout quart containers. And a metric fuckton of tomatoes. And a Vitamix.

Chip in:

I may have phrased this poorly. *I* have enough blankets. I just ran out of ones to give away and spent all my cash buying more. So now I need more cash to get more blankets, and I am asking mutual aid folks to help me out here. Too cold to do less.
Hey folks I've been offline doing some things. Polar vortex, if you wanted to help me help, I've zeroed my balances and ain't got enough blankets.

Hi.

Are you alone tonight?

I'll call you I have grace to spare and I am angry at the local religions for not making a number available in case someone needed something.

How can I help you? My DM remains open.

I feel awful for the kid, but you read the reports on the incident and it really was a man saying this to the laws of physics.

You guys I have like ten minutes until this person gets here and I cannot improve on the puns, I'm asking for a dual help, let's go

Done and dusted

You fuckers are amazing
Y'all.

We are so close. Someone send me fifty and I can put this on my card.

Love you.

Three hours until the appointment and we're just under $200 short

Let's go, mutual aid people
I haven't been online because I've been writing

but we got another one to raise funds for. A lady needs to see a man about a horse: you know what to do. About $700, housing covered already. Timely.

Some people have noted that I once read Hillbilly Elegy

That was when some prick had written a bad memoir. Now he's the vice president

That prick wrote a bad memoir and he ain't from the goddamned holler and I don't care where he spent his summers until he was twelve

Fuck JD Vance, he's miniscule

I thought about nothingness. Was it Kafkaesque or was it mere pretension?

I came to you with no pretense, said Billy joel.

I thought about Storm Front and whether I had ever visited a sea in which I could find a ship called the Downeaster Alexa.

Then I thought about AI and whether it had hurt me.

Okay I went away and wrote, attn editors:

It is 1704 on a Tuesday and 4782 children have died of Sarah McLaughlin commercials

I think about the dehydration of the children forced to pose with the sad puppies

I look at the sink and consider whether running water makes me feel bad.

Awards, please.

Wait no I'm not done

She uses capitalization with the same recklessness that trump does

We Know who the Politician is, that is not a Fig Leaf.

Okay now I'm done
