An important primer!
Apparently some folks are playing real dumb about skull symbols so let’s play a little game I like to call “Nazi skull or not a Nazi skull”
First up, the Jolly Roger. This is a pirate skull, not a Nazi skull. It means you might get robbed, but prolly not genocided.
With me so far? 1/x

Jane Goodall on her 90th birthday celebration: “In California, on a beach, I was greeted by 90 dogs. The big dogs, little dogs, purebreds, mutts—you name it. 90 dogs. And it’s an off leash, dog beach. So we played in the water and got wet and it rained, and it was just glorious.”
RIP, legend.

Racists will secretly collaborate to potentially burn their whole entire state, WHICH HAS INCREASINGLY VERY BAD WILDFIRE SEASONS down rather than go to therapy
holy shit dude using a fake deployment for wildland fire crews from a fire that’s only 13% contained during peak western US fire season to detain multiple firefighters and remove the crews from the fire is a scale of evil & dangerous I can’t fully communicate to people not from wildfire regions

Ah yes, the long national nightmare of being denied a home loan for the reason of "once having bought a bible" is finally, at last, coming to an end.

DON JR: But he doesn't touch it. That's all walled off. He doesn't get involved in that.

Alice Notley passed away Monday night in Paris, where I'm writing from. This will come as a shock to many, but she was battling a number of maladies in recent months, and things had gotten difficult rapidly. Her work is out there. Please feel free to spread the word.
