Lightbox works pretty well. I need some better lights though.

If you live in the USA, here’s an easy way to send a letter to your reps:

Email your representatives: No War with Venezuela!
I just wrote a letter to my congressional representatives to urge them to oppose Trump's illegal war with Venezuela. Can you join me? https://admin.actionnetwork.org/letters/email-your-representative-...

One last crappy phone pic to round out the year. New Year’s resolution: get a dedicated photo area setup.

As a new years present to myself, I just finished the first draft of a novel. Now I can spend the next couple days planning out my writing deadlines for 2026 in order to hit the ground running.

I want to do better pictures of my recent projects, but it’s been so long since I’ve taken any pictures at all. So I figured I should just upload this crappy phone pic to get back in the habit.

As hilarious as this is, Trump is mentally gone. Yes, Mamdani is charismatic as hell and I hope he can continue to keep Trump pacified re:NY. But it’s just as likely that after a few hours on his phone or talking to Stephen Miller, Trump will be threatening to bomb NYC or something.
Trump frickin' loves this guy lmao

This is worth a watch, if you can stomach it.

A little torn on this one. Chi Ossé is exactly the kind person we need on the City Council as Mamdani works to enact his ambitious agenda.

That said, Chi could do a lot of good in the House as well. He's an actual activist and fighter, so I'm ready to support him if he's going for it.

It is way, way past time for us to say ‘enough.’ We can live in a world where people are more than just playthings for the rich and powerful, if we’re willing to fight for it.
NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

In under 1600 words.

So, listen, call Schumer’s office no matter where you live, no matter if you’re registered to vote. Leave a voicemail that says if Senate Dems cave without an ACA premiums fix, you will never vote for or donate to another Senate Democrat as long as he is Leader

Just a thought: if you’re going to engage in conversation here, then do so honestly. Don’t reply to someone then immediately block them just so you get the last word. That’s extraordinarily cowardly.

Either have a conversation or don’t.

Think back to how you felt a year ago when Trump was reelected.

Now think about how you feel after last night's election.

You volunteered. You went to protests. You didn't check out.

You put in the work required for our democracy — and it's paying off.

Remember this.
