The Earth without art is just eh. Climate change is real. Home is where the Om is. Love walks on four paws.
It's been a weekend. I am going to bed now before 7pm so I can wake up in the AM and pretend I am starting all over again from a scratch.

On Sunday mornings, after we get up and eat breakfast and do laundry and take a walk, my dog and I get back in bed and sleep for an hour or so and it is my favorite part of my week and the only time I ever feel like someone loves me and wants to be with me.

somebody brought this up once in the context of Florida voters in 2000 and it fucked me up so much

just the cascading effects on our whole society from losing such a tidal wave of queer people
A few weeks ago I was talking politics with a local, highly straight, bartender.

All the sudden he said: “Well, I think a big part of the problem is that so many of the people who would’ve been our progressive leaders died of AIDS & can’t help us now.”

And I’ve thought about that every day since.

What if instead of church we just met up weekly and sang songs and danced around? No worship, just celebration, fun, and joy.

Wait @cameronkasky.bsky.social and @jackschlossberg.bsky.social are running for the same seat? Can't we spread the youth around a bit?

Six people died from tampered Tylenol and the company pulled 30 million bottles off the market. ChatGPT is accused of urging seven people towards suicide, and OpenAI just assures us they’re still working out the kinks. Billions in investment, zero accountability.

Since I am so not into my EdD program, I am just going to keep studying and quoting Paolo Freire in every assignment that I submit. If you want me to only study leadership theory, I will only study Freire.

I know that the dogs don't get clock changes thing is a cliche but Ruthie always got her teeth cleaning bone after Jeopardy and everyday this week, she sits and waits for it at 6:30. My dad keeps saying to her "It's not time!" and I feel so bad for her because technically, it is time.

I also did the math today and as an adjunct professor, I read at least 500 pieces of student writing in 15 weeks. And now I am rethinking my life choices. Last week, I did more math and realized I design/create 410 Canvas session pages in 15 weeks. Never do the math.

I broke my rule of not taking a sleep gummy on a weeknight but man, tomorrow is election day. And it is 2025. And yeah.

I wonder if I could do an internet ban on election day.

The grad student gathering for the conference I am going to next week is from 8pm to 10pm which just proves I am too old to be a grad student because I can not be out and about at 8pm. That is a half hour before my bedtime.

Mayor of Kingstown is back and it is brutal. So fucking brutal. I don't know why I watch it; it is so brutal. But so, so, so good.

I haven't talked about my weight loss because it is not talked about in my circles but the pants I wore today were so big on me that they literally fell down. Lots of feelings.

This isn't chaos. It's a plan. The defunding of the NEA, the gutting of the NEH, and the capture of the Kennedy Center are straight from the Heritage Foundation's 'Project 2025' playbook. Read my latest TIME article to see why this cultural attack demands our attention.
Trump’s Campaign to Defund the Arts—and Rewrite History

An embarrassingly obvious point, but...

This. Is. Illegal.

If anything like the rule of law were in force, Trump couldn't arbitrarily increase a tariff because he is annoyed.

In important and increasing ways, the rule of law in the US no longer exists.

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.
