Trying to find my way back to poetry and mayhem.

I spent so many years covering propaganda anticipating this exact moment and so many of my peers bought the paid-for contrarian line that even covering disinformation was somehow, itself, censorship.
Now we're at the event horizon. Celebration is protest is riot is justification for a police state.

This took a while to get done, but I've chronicled my day among the protesters in Los Angeles, and the idea that this is anything but a celebration of cultural heritage and a firm, nonviolent demand to protect family, friends and neighbors is totally ridiculous.

Cries of Defiance and Songs of Joy in Los Angeles
The protesters are being called unspeakably violent by the Trump administration. I mostly saw clergy sit-ins and Tejano bands.

My final beautiful read of 2024. 💙 📚
A gorgeously haunting train tale; it’s got history, humanity, nature magic and splashes of horror to keep things rolling along. Discovered upon advice of someone here; thank you kind #booksky stranger, whoever you are!

How did I live this long not knowing longspoods exist?? 🥹
Day 12 of my 2024 favorites: Longspoods 🖤
I had been aware of this Very Long species (Marpissa pikei) for a few years but somehow they eluded me (probably by looking like Grass). Finally managed to find a couple, of both sexes. They're very sweet and silly and I love them.

Imagine how confused all the people are who follow me without understanding I have no intention of following back nor posting anything beyond the obligatory introductory cat photo to prove I exist 🤷🏽♀️ (and apparently the occasional repost. But still … not much to see here, folks. Carry on.)
I've been confused why some folks show up in my comments borderline unhinged about the number of people I follow here until it was explained to me there are groups for whom follows are entirely transactional and they apparently think I've tricked all y'all into following me and have not reciprocated

(Clearing usually polite throat) C’MON YE SAUCY WENCHES! LET ME HEAR YOU ROAR!
Keep seeing the aggressively bland positivity dribbling from bot/AI accounts and I feel one way to deal with this is for humans to be so much more profane in contrast. I feel many of y'all have been training for this your whole lives

This former indoor cat always finds the highest perch from which to scoff at my tiny flailing attempts to evict him. “Just don’t pee on anything this time!” is my final pathetic attempt at dominance this #caturday
