Thank you for shopping in my etsy shop this weekend. Sorry for any crumbs that might fall in the boxes. The ghosts aren’t eating the cakes fast enough so obviously it’s up to me to finish them.
*Side note. All holidays should involve baking and leaving out treats for invisible guests.

No Kings in LFK. I think there's about twice as many people here as in June. Assuming the honking people aren't just vainly looking for parking.

If you believe that teaching about God in public schools will improve people's morality, you first need to explain why it doesn't work in churches.

Who could ever have imagined when I played a fictional rebel who joined the Resistance to oppose a criminal Authoritarian & wannabe King, it would be happening in real-life?

Have heard countless speeches using this "arc" quote from MLK.
The way @govpritzker.illinois.gov used the quote to conclude his speech was an artful combination of reassurance and motivation.
"It doesn't bend on its own."
Watch the whole speech! /end

Sadly, this is true. And dessert is best enjoyed thinking of starving children. 😥

We need Democratic leaders who are willing to cast America’s billionaires not as success stories of American capitalism, but as parasitic oligarchs robbing the people blind, dismantling the country, undermining western democracy, and burning the whole world just to keep their taxes low.

In fitting fashion for the state of things in 2025, this year's pride happened under a massive deluge. But all these beautiful people kept marching and singing. It was beautiful, and I'm glad I was there to document.

The thing about Curtis Yarvin is that his ideas are shallow plagiarisms of monarchists and fascists and the only reason he has any influence is because the tech oligarchs are desperate for an ideology that gifts them legitimacy and they’re actually dumb as shit.
