Current WIP - After aliens attack Ferret's colony, killing everyone but her, her only goal is to stay alive until help comes. But when she learns of the alien's plan to ambush her rescue, Ferret knows she must kill the aliens first, or else her saviors will be doomed to the same fate as her colony.

To the millions who showed up today.

You participated in one of the largest single day protests in American history.

And you did it in a week that was the most authoritarian week of the Trump presidency.

It matters.

Thank you. And keep building.

Happy Father's Day to my husband @misfitwookiee.bsky.social. You live every day in pain, yet you are always there for your children. You've raised honest, caring gentlemen in a world that needs them. Love you.

Imagine you invited the whole school to your big, expensive birthday party, and your two best friends and girlfriend come, but then the rest of the students and teachers stand outside, yelling about how much they hate you.

Even the world's biggest narcissist has got to feel that, right? Right?

Super Red (or so I thought) high desert of CA raised their voices and fists today. Must've been around 1k people there. This is what Democracy looks like!

Words alone cannot capture the depth of emotion in this testimony. A voice from the past, once fighting against extremism and fascism, now speaks with heartbreak as history threatens to repeat itself. Watch, listen, and reflect.

Dorothy B. Porter changed libraries 💜

The Dewey Decimal System used to only have two classifications for Black people: 325 (colonization) & 326 (slavery). Each book by a Black person was put into one of these classifications. A book of poetry? Classified as colonization.

Enter Dorothy B. Porter 🧵

Trooper, the dog who went viral after a video was posted of him tied up along a Florida highway ahead of Hurricane Milton, has been adopted!

The 3 year-old pup has found his forever home with Frank and Carla Spina of Parkland, Florida.

I'm a big fan of horror, but my husband is not. Therefore, I JUST watched Aliens Romulus for the first time on my own yesterday. OMG! Amazing! What a lesson in how to do tension right. We, the audience, knows what Xenomorphs are, and their hunting methods. Yet, the characters do not. So much fun.

Still not allowed to create a profile picture or background. At least my boy Zap is around to make me smile.
