I've never seen "running government like a business is bad, actually" illustrated as plainly and clearly as this:

So I’m trying to leave a pretty toxic work environment but must have other income before I do. I have an idea to help neurodivergent families with planning, organizing, menus and grocery lists, etc. Sort of a family assistant for ND families. Maybe some childcare. 1/2

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.

Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

Happy Birthday (91) to Tom Baker. This Doctor Who quote from him seems highly appropriate today.

The water situation in Richmond VA is unbelievable. Oldest kiddo is coming to visit tonight to take a shower and pick up the 6 gallons of water I bought for them. The General Assembly had to recess until Monday because you can’t flush a toilet in RVA right now!

Bluesky wrapped: a 🧵 of my posts that generated the most conversation on this site.

Below is a clever visualization of the distribution of how land is used in the U.S. Cows roam over a lot of land!

But this is not a map - for example, the 100 largest landowning families aren't confined to Florida.

Found the most amazing lounge pants! Bourbons of Kentucky! Everyone in my house was sad they weren’t their size so listed on my Depop.

“We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.”

I just ordered another pair of earrings. Love this shop!
Here, have a link to the shop: www.etsy.com/shop/Lioness...

Today's special 64% markdowns are good just for today, but the sale runs all month. There will be some wild markdown fun on the last day of the month as usual, because you know how I get.

I ordered earrings during her last sale. I love them and get compliments every time I wear them. I would definitely order more if I didn’t have three kids in college this upcoming semester. 😀
If you could point people at the sale at www.etsy.com/shop/Lioness... it would improve life in Lionessland a lot right now. I am so grateful for your encouragement in the midst of So Many Things Going On.

<3 <3 <3

Sale ends Sunday the 16th. I'll keep adding new things and new markdowns until then.

My God, this is the best poem I've read in months. "When My Daughter Tells Me I was Never Punk," by Jessica Walsh. (Sorry the alt text doesn't go all the way to the end, but you can find the poem online.)

I absolutely love this. It’s not in my budget but boosting so someone can buy this gorgeous jewelry!

Took my youngest child to Ravencon yesterday and had the chance to hear @tkingfisher.bsky.social read some of a future work. It was wonderful! Can’t wait to read the finished book.
