Not sure why it’s just hitting me that the year 2000 was almost 30 years ago. Anyway here’s a building in downtown ATX with an incredible amount of detail shadowed by a lifeless glass monstrosity

It’s looking like goodbye Texas in the next year or so. I am sad. Even if we end up in a better situation (politically, environmentally, monetarily, etc), Texas is my home. Austin is my home. I’m just..yeah..I’m sad. Hopeful! But sad. And scared?

I want to perfect the art of crying on command so that when I make someone laugh and they say “IM DEAD”, I can give the appropriate reaction

I have written and deleted a lot of posts but I keep thinking about how the brutal assassination of Minnesota State senator Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their beloved dog Gilbert in June did not prompt this same level of calls for empathy, sympathy, and flags at half-mast.

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

Yesterday was the 2nd anniversary of my beloved cousin passing away. Fucked up part is I forgot! Then I remembered and it hung over my head all day. Lately, and I feel silly for saying this, I’ve seen ig reels I would have sent her but…+ her account recently was deleted. Which is a whole other thing

“No, really, it’s not an act. The president of the United States is just that fucking stupid.”
JD Vance: "This idea that Gavin Newsom is somehow gonna mimic Donald Trump's style -- I think that ignores the fundamental genius of President Trump's political success, which is that he's authentic."

Jingles play a giant role in my childhood memories and I’m not sure if I’m cool with that or not. Not that young Pedro was scheming for a capitalist hegemony or anything but YOU listen to the schlitterbahn or furniture factory warehouse or o’reilly’s songs and tell me that shit ain’t catchy

Man y’all child-free folk live some different lives. I’m not judging nor hating or any of that negative bullshit. But I see the stories on IG or y’all’s posts here and I’m like FUCK that looks exhausting and/or loud. Then I go back to my screaming child who wakes up at 5am

Mark Penn, the former Clinton-era Dem pollster now helping Cuomo, has advised Trump on how to beat Mamdani.
And Trump has also talked to Cuomo directly: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/06/n...

After avoiding it during the primary, Andrew Cuomo finally went on the Brian Lehrer Show last week — and lied about his record.
The truth is that universal pre-K was won despite the disgraced ex-Governor, not because of him.

Went to a toddler rave yesterday morning at a food truck park and while there was a lot to focus on, I mostly noticed how every parent there was our age or close to it. I thought “oh ok, I guess I’m there now”

How long have people been struggling against the perils of fascism and the threat of authoritarianism? What lessons have we learned from their horrible deeds? Only to invite them into our homes with open arms?
I’m here to fight and I always will be. But goddamn I’m disappointed in so many people.
