“Go Birds 🦅” is not an endorsement of an NFL team. It’s instant community held together by two syllables.
“Riots are violent, extreme, and femme as fuck: they rip, tear, burn, and destroy to give birth to a new world.” p. 13

When analyzing any piece of media, it helps to think about PASTA:

Purpose
Author’s bias
Subject and sub-topics
Timing
Audience (intended, unintended)

Everyone walking by: [nod] Go Birds.

I feel someone’s pain, but for now, the one full-size tomato I’ve seen in my garden this season is still on the vine (and it looks like a pumpkin). #gardensky

Social media algorithms used to be well-crafted to align with our niche interests in order to sell us things, but now, they’re well-crafted to hijack our niche vulnerabilities in order to funnel us down fascist pipelines (while selling us things).

This scraggly weed showed up after a storm much like Audrey II and grew as fast as Audrey II, too, but something told me not to pull it. Yesterday, I saw little yellow buds under a few of the leaves, and today, in true Audrey II fashion, I found little volunteer tomatillos 🥹🌱✨

I made pesto for dinner with a handful of garlic cloves, two huge stems of basil, and the greens from this random carrot volunteer. #gardensky

A friend that lives in Eastern Kentucky has a school lunch system where she has to put in no more than $120 at a time with a 10% transaction fee for depositing. With her three kids on the account it ends up being about $25 a month just to add money to the account that doesn't go towards the balance

From dry to juicy, here is this year’s garlic harvest minus what I’ve used, what I’ve shared, and the small patch I still need to pull. #gardensky #garlicsky

Felt like the right day to wear my new, “Enjoy everything right now because it’s going to keep getting worse” tshirt from @punkwithacamera.bsky.social

I’m having a minor outpatient medical procedure tomorrow for the third time in my life, and for the first time in my life, I’m >50% sure that my ride to and from won’t flake on me. Anesthesia, here I come!

I begged for this weather. I am musty. And I am not complaining.

This stinky bouquet became dinner. #garlicsky

Gardening nourishes my very being for how many opportunities it offers to be satisfied by long-term processes of nurturing, patience, trust, and hope. I could stare at these stinky braids all day. #gardensky #garlicsky

Does anyone anywhere ever snooze better than an old pibble who hasn’t done a single thing all day? I think not. I bet you can hear her snoring. #pibblesky #dogsky

As anti-Zionist Jews, it's our obligation to stand against Jewish supremacist violence and ethnic cleansing. We must ensure Palestinians aren’t alone in resisting Israeli colonialism.

Lately, Morticia’s sentiment comes to mind daily.
