Just some old bones trying to maintain sanity and sense of purpose while the machines try to steal their soul.
The ghouls at Amazon say it's a doorbuster, but how am I supposed to get trampled for a consumer product when I'm ordering online?

Sometimes this beautiful soul is the only thing keeping me going. When I'm feeling lonely and haunted by dark thoughts they somehow seem to know to find me. Their warmth, love, and purrs let me know that someone loves me.

Proud of my city for not playing the regime's game. This video is a good explanation for why the inflatables are such an effective protest tactic.

MAGA aims to make slavery legal in the USA. In under 30 min this small farmer, crop scientist, & ex-farm worker lays it (& more) out. I worked with a lot of immigrants in my Whole Food years. They ALL had it hard under the best of circumstances & for so, so many more it's truly hellish. Please watch
If you've been thinking "How are they gonna run their farms after Trump arrests their workers?"
don't worry, they planned ahead for that 💀

It feels like a long time since our mainstream monoculture wasn't laser focused on gawking at the fascistic dumpster fire that we're becoming. It's hard not to of course & these things need to be witnessed & discussed, but damn it's exhausting. Anyway- here's my kitty Kaylee & a degutted toy alien.

As a US citizen I recently learned the breathtakingly stupid way these goddamn tariffs were calculated. Fun fact it was from the Canadian Broadcasting Company & this infographic from the BBC. This is what happens when the oligarchs control the US media. Solid explainer video below.

I've been too exhausted for social media lately, but this gave me a glimmer of hope and I wanted to share it. There is power in speaking from your heart and giving witness to what you know to be true. I hope to grow to have the conviction, grit, and courage that Rep Zephyr shows here.

When people say, “Only disabled people will die from this,” know that could also mean YOU. You can become part of the disability community at any time and will inevitably become disabled unless you die early. Disability is a part of life. Be careful when you exclude us because it could be you next.

I'm legitimately tearing up. This gives me more hope than anything that's happened since the Trump regime began. I do think his actions with the military (firing generals, cutting food aid for service members, etc.) and the general disrespect he's shown them may have been a fatal mistake on his part

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.
