I lurk a lot. He/him, lefty, pro choice, pro trans rights, blm, capitalism is a death cult, sex work is real work, I am not excluded from “fuck ‘em” where applicable. Middle aged nerd doing his best.

I read books and I knit, mostly. Sometimes I bake.
"Hold hard then, heart. This way at least you live."
--Derek Walcott, The Fist
The Fist
The fist clenched round my heart loosens a little, and I gasp brightness; but it tightens again.

This, too, is part of the glory and breadth of being alive.

This is a really beautiful 19th-century bronze sculpture of the sorceress, Circe, from ancient Greek myth, which you can view in the Art Gallery of South Australia's (AGSA) website:

Just tipsy enough that I want to tell everyone that I love you and I want the best for you and I hope good things happen to and for you even in the midst of everything that’s happening. 💜

Dems can:

-oppose all Trump nominees until this EO is withdrawn
-deny unanimous consent to slow senate proceedings
-vote no on all cloture
-force quorum calls at every chance

It’s a constitutional crisis. There is absolutely no reason the Senate should be connecting business as usual.

One of the best parts of knitting is when the new project finally starts to look like the thing you’re hoping to make instead of just a blob of yarn #knitting

Too much camera and a tiny toy and lots of light

Poetry for today is William Butler Yeats’s “The Mother of God” with all its uncertainty and qualms about motherhood made so much stronger by the fears of what’s coming for her child

Really experiencing that "meal prep makes the seasonal depression manageable, but seasonal depression makes meal prep seem impossible" paradox these days

I see you. I see how hard you try to hold back tears as the world does its best to flatten you. I see you as you fight to claim the space that is rightfully yours. And I want you to know you are a miracle. You are twilight and magic and softness. I see you and I love you so much.
