Art, fiction, history, science, movies, and comics. I think museums are the only truly sacred places in society, temples of the human heart and mind. Proud American, embarrassed Southerner, wondering when the fuck all my neighbors became nazis.

See: "Messy" Marsha Blackburn, one of the most venal, mendacious, morally degenerate women in this vast nation of women of all kinds. Also, one of the five most desperately, stridently stupid United States Senators.
Messy Marsha Blackburn, America's densest Senator.

I've been listening to the 20th anniversary remastered re-release of Tegan and Sara's "So Jealous," and it sounds AMAZING! I remember buying this album (in 2007, at college, after I'd already discovered "The Con" 😊)! Where the fuck did 20 years go while my back was turned?? #teganandsara #sojealous

Rereading this underrated gem of alternate history! The South won the Civil War, and sixty years later, the world is a very different place than the one we know! However, this isn't neo-Confederate propaganda a la MacKinlay Kantor. "Bring the Jubilee" evokes a dystopian nightmare. #BookSky 🪐📚💙
