this cultural/social moment affirms for me that the work of the remainder of my life is to learn to live slowly and in harmony with the present moment. there is no other project.

I have a pair of handmade plushies available - original Star Trek Spock and Kirk.
These were commissioned in March and the customer has since ghosted me, so I'm finally trying to sell them on. I guess my fault for trusting people to pay after production.

There are so many bullshit premises in Sheldon Whitehouse’s thread, but mainly: you literally CAN’T “unite” and fight with powerful people who will betray you at the last minute. They throw the fucking fight and lie about it. There’s no unity possible!

This should be understood not as a mistaken analysis but as propaganda put out by the junior partner in a fascist government.

when the dems tanked the election last year, I talked about changing my voter registration to independent bc I didn’t wanna have anything to do with them.
I’m glad I kept it.
I will vote in every primary D election for the rest of my short life to make sure these people don’t hold office.

several months ago, I left a voicemail at Durban’s office that said that I would do everything in my organizing power to make sure he never held a Senate seat representing the state Illinois again. I stand by that promise.

Durbin said critics of his vote “need to understand how the Senate works”

these are the ways in which having a chronic illness constricts a life.
the ways you don’t see.
all i could do, or dream, or be, hemmed in incrementally over a lifetime by the need to cope with facing my preventable death, again and again
i wonder who i would be if we didn’t live like this?

nobody knows what will happen. but it’s wild that i’m starting to just… accept it’s possible that i will become unable to access medical care and that i then could die of my extremely treatable chronic illness

see the first problem is the word “months”
Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis
For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare
We will keep fighting

listen to tv’s frank, kids.
"How could Dems cave like this after last Tuesday's victory?" But it wasn't a victory for Schumer. His candidate -- the Trump-supported one -- lost. The jubilation and hope folks feel about Mamdani? Chuck feels the opposite. To sum up: he sucks.

Relating to Spider-Man at 19: I too am underemployed, unsure how to pursue girls, and trying to find my place in the adult world.
Relating to Galactus at 42: I am from an unrecognizable previous millennium, hungry all the time, everything hurts and I live with a tiny person who won’t do what I ask.

My latest is a love letter to Chicago. "I see you stumbling through the stubborn, awkward rhythm of showing up, again and again. I see you fighting alongside people who sometimes frustrate and confuse you, and defending neighbors you may have never met, because you know they’re all your people."
In Chicago, We Run Toward Danger Together
"Faced with unrelenting state violence, Chicagoans have refused to be cowed," says Mariame Kaba.
