Made me laugh, and brought back fond memories of my best friends’ adolescent boys and their Axe journey.

Many years ago, I started using Axe body spray myself because I liked some of the scents, and I felt very ashamed. And then in 2013, the great @dahlialithwick.bsky.social wrote a piece for Slate about her own Axe usage, and I felt immediately vindicated. slate.com/human-intere...

Probably my most enduring political belief: you shall not think that some other person or group is fundamentally different from you. This belief is the worst combination of easy to fall into and corrosive in every way.

Co-signed times a thousand. “Other people have no interiority” is, fundamentally, a deeply evil belief to hold which will lead you exclusively to terrible places

One of my most moral panic style opinions is the use of “NPC” as a slur is a symptom of a societal sociopathy epidemic.

Painting in Earth tones of a woman sitting in a table with two men. Caption: me selling paintings for $100. The first man's caption says why don't you sell them for $1,000? The second says why don't you sell them for $10?

🌱Amazing when they all go off.

Agapanthus Twisty against the blue of Hydrangea Zorro. And behind Zorro is a Little Limelight.

It’s a bit… congested? Of a riot? Lovely? Yeah…
The purply trumpets of twisty fading to white near the end where the music comes out of. Green strappy leaves. Agapanthus in front of Zorro with its cerulean blue blooms. You get a peak at limelight above. Looking back over little limelight in morning sun.

Houston congressional candidate Isaiah Martin was violently thrown to the ground and arrested yesterday for objecting to Republicans gerrymandering in Texas. Republicans win by cheating.

Isaiah Martin spoke out as the leader he is and was arrested. 🤬

WE DEMAND HIS RELEASE!!

Roman mosaic in the entrance passage of the House of Paquius Proculus, Pompeii.

📷 by me

#MosaicMonday
#Archaeology
My photo taken in 2023 shows a black and white mosaic in the entrance passage of the House of Paquius Proculus at Pompeii depicting a chained black dog crouching in front of an open door. The dog wears a red studded collar. It looks alert, with its mouth open to show a red tongue and teeth. The mosaic door to which the dog is chained is decorated with a spear and a shield, and the mosaic door which is ajar is decorated with a double axe head. A partial view of the atrium of the house can be seen from the entrance passage.

If we want to protect NPR and PBS,
Our part will be to bug the hell out of our Congress people. I certainly will be.

1/ Must listen ep of The Daily. Congress is trying—THIS WEEK—to dramatically cut funding to CPB (which funds NPR and PBS). Rural Americans, who rely on local stations for weather warnings and local politics, will be worst hurt. Those stations will die. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...

This guy has such a fine idea. He has a YouTube video about planting trees, and will be buying trees to plant with the revenue gained from watching the video. And by the way, it’s charming so here you go, go watch it, and plant a tree in Australia

As GOP starts vote-a-rama on their Beautiful-for-Billionaires Betrayal Bill, they still don't have complete bill text. Yup, still NO BILL - they're still corralling members and negotiating with parliamentarians. What a mess.
