Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends.

But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month.

See you soon, NYC.

Make yourself read it. We need to be lit with fury now. We are watching it all happen.
A pregnant woman lost her baby after ICE refused to give her prenatal care.

She begged for help and was denied. She was fed food full of cockroaches. She was forced to sleep on the floor.

This is absolutely disgusting and we should all be outraged. nashvillebanner.com/2025/05/27/i...

When everything is terrible find the glimmers.

My glimmer today was my first Eastern Box Turtle sighting in the wild! This is most likely a female finding a good spot to lay her eggs. Males typically have bright red or orange eyes!

The revolution is full of 60-year-old women who love their trans kids.

In America, we have no Kings, no Queens, no nobles, no dictators, and no emperors. We have no slaves, no serfs and no subjects.

Just us—‘We the People.’

Here are some texts I got from an immigration lawyer friend of mine. Shared with permission. Some of the bleakest shit I’ve ever heard.

Whenever I eat granola with frozen blueberries and milk, it turns the milk blue. For a brief moment, I feel like I’m in Star Wars, drinking blue milk while trying to rebel against a fascist government. Then I’m like wow I’m drinking blue milk while trying to rebel against a fascist government.

This little hermit crab reminds me of WALL-E with those eyes. Fitting since hermit crabs eat almost anything, keeping the ocean floor tidy.

A horrific anti-gay hate crime shouldn’t be how we start Pride Month. But here we are.

Jonathan Joss was just murdered by someone who yelled homophobic slurs before shooting.

Joss & his husband were just married on Valentine’s day.

End hate. #LoveIsLove

We raised Luna Caterpillars last summer and after almost a year as pupae here are the moths! They will only live for about two weeks before finishing their natural life cycle.

Ugly country. Ugly governance. Ugly society. Ugly choices.
We don’t have to be this way. All of this is a choice. Every time you are not kind, in all things, your choice is ugly.

My choice, in all things.

A thousand pounds of weight on my chest.

Grains of sand fall.
A trickle first.
A steady stream.
A churning river,
pouring over me.
Pinning me.
Pushing me down.
Stuck.

I think that it will be easier to sink down into the ground than fight my way back up.

So well said.
One of the shittiest aspects of anti-trans bigots and their dehumanising rhetoric is that people are actually persuaded that it’s reasonable to completely disrupt the lives of trans people in order to assuage minor potential, rare, transient and largely hypothetical discomforts.

Want to fight the machine and help the earth and spend less money? BUY USED. Buy used whenever you can. There are a million apps, and thrift stores everywhere. I sell and buy on Mercari with great success.
