This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

Good morning and Happy Family Thanksgiving from the Six-Sided Chateau.

Crust for chocolate pie has been baked and is cooling. Cracktot casserole is baking now.

The dress I ordered to wear today may or may not be here before we leave for my cousin’s. 🙃 Oop.

If you've got the steam and you want to stay in that fight, more power to ya. I mean that.
But a grown-ass adult who's chosen to support a racist fascist rapist idiot is not someone to whom you have an obligation, especially if they're an older relative who was supposed to be looking out for you.

Went to the Midnight Madness at the sister shop to my local and your mail-order comics shop @thirdeyecomics.bsky.social to pick up some goodies for the players in my D&D campaign. Super nice folks and a very handsome sale!

(Had to go tonight - chocolate pie won’t bake itself in the morning.)

When I was a kid, the only Native representation I saw in cartoons was A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Special.

I made Pow! to show that modern, funny Native characters deserve to be seen too. Watch us on FNX. If you like it, review us on @letterboxd.social and tell your friends!

Lift others up at every opportunity. #WereAllInThisTogether
One day when I was on the corner waiting for my son’s preschool bus to drop him off, a teenage girl walking home (the high school and the preschool got out at the same time) waved at me and said “I love your ENTIRE look EVERY DAY!”
What is the best compliment you ever received? Putting aside whether or not you believed it.

grease floats.

when it flows in sewage and into our plants, it thickens as temps fall, separating in our settling tanks.

the churning water forms grease globs that build like snowballs, and operators remove them so they don’t clog the process.

listen. don’t pour grease down your drains.

Anyone who claims working retail is easy and undeserving of a living wage should be forced to work one Black Friday weekend at a major big box store.

If you're going out to engage in mass consumerism this weekend (which you shouldn't), do not behave like a prick toward the workers.
As we enter into sales-season, please remember, the person behind the counter, (et al) is not responsible for the pressure that you've stacked on your own back. Best of all, keep your money, stay your ass at home and spend time with the people you love.

My friends and former colleagues at the Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum get all the credit for this one. I don’t think they’ll mind if I share it.

Zohran Mamdani has called for a boycott of Starbucks until the company can bargain a fair contract with its striking workers. We joined members of the mayor-elect's team on the Starbucks picket line in NYC.

Sharing the deep knowledge (baking sheets are better, or hotel pans with lids if you've got them). Also heed that safety stacking chart: raw meat & poultry on the bottom, cooked foods & veggies up top! Don't give anyone salmonella for Christmas.
Oh wait this is actually a good idea
