My position on taking action. And on the important space between everything and nothing.
And everything is flawed, if you want to look at it that way. The analogy that has helped me most is this: in Hurricane Katrina, hundreds of boat-owners rescued people—single moms, toddlers, grandfathers—stranded in attics, on roofs, in flooded housing projects, hospitals, and school buildings. None of them said, I can’t rescue everyone, therefore it’s futile; therefore my efforts are flawed and worthless, though that’s often what people say about more abstract issues in which, nevertheless, lives, places, cultures, species, rights are at stake. They went out there in fishing boats and rowboats and pirogues and all kinds of small craft, some driving from as far as Texas and eluding the au- thorities to get in, others refugees themselves working within the city. There was bumper-to-bumper boat-trailer traffic—the celebrated Cajun Navy—going toward the city the day after the levees broke. None of those people said, I can’t rescue them all. All of them said, I can rescue someone, and that’s work so meaningful and important I will risk my life and defy the authorities to do it. And they did.

Don't write "women" or "men" characters. Write kreaturs. We are all kreaturs, skittering & wet, malformed abominations arisen from the primordial soup. Pure physics twisted not merely into unholy chemistry but abhorrent biology. Flesh and blood and desperate bone, calcium aching to return to stone

As he celebrates his 100th Birthday this very day, can we all take a moment to acknowledge that time when Dick Van Dyke won the internet internet.

From saber-toothed cats to P-22, L.A. has been the home of iconic big cats for ages. In celebration of “Fierce! The Story of Cats” on view at @nhm.org, meet some of the bygone big cats that called the South Land home. youtu.be/-PvAbUGnxgc

Went to a funeral today for Krissy's uncle, Ron. He was a good guy and had a well-lived life. Tell the people you love that you love them, okay? Thanks. Here's a dog and cat, living together.
Saja the kitten and Charlie the dog, just chillin' in my office.

You have often heard me repeat the founding phrase of Hookland: re-enchantment is resistance. This is the county’s core truth. However, I will point out that that sometimes re-enchantment is also an act of intentional sabotage.

We walk the cold ways of winter. Our magics become based on mud, phyllomantic tellings of tomorrow. In this shivering territory, hats and cloaks are practical working tools worn because the witch fears no weather, but knows when to wrap up. – #EmilyCBanting, 1981 #WitchSky

There's an old Hookland maxim: 'Some roads are walked by ghosts/Some roads are makers of ghosts'. Of course the wisdom is not only knowing which is which, but when one road is simultaneously both. The way to Greydown Bigh is a prime example. – #DAKilroy

We report at dawn, when the sun is spitting out scoria into the sky before much light can even be seen. It seems a little brave, this kind of sunrise in December, when we know how scarce daylight is these days. It feels like the sun is making promises it cannot keep.
Digital painting of a sunrise sky in orange and dark grey tones, against the hazy blue of dusk. Behind the fuzzy grey clouds, the orange ones are bright, standing out starkly. It is all scattered haphazardly.

breaking: the negotiated NDAA to authority military spending would ban trans women from competing in sports at military academies

it would likely be the first sports ban in federal statute, and would codify a definition of sex as solely defined at birth

unless something changes it is set to be law
