The thing about history is, I started studying it to learn about the present.

Now I dive into the past to escape it.

Bigoted pile of shit who believes in “Jewish space lasers” squawks at latest thing in hopes of retaining power

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

this from my piece on charlie kirk is probably the most important takeaway if you want to know why bad faith, right-wing voices in media are treated as just another set of peers

The amount of shit I got for this segment at the time was astronomical, and it was all from people who now stalk CVS employees to get them fired for insufficient online sadness.

Cheering on political violence is both evil and not new, an outgrowth of an internet intentionally dismantled years ago.

He went on to quote the dead nazi’s platitudes re: what to do in troubling times. That guy is a super fan. I couldn’t quote a podcast if you paid me.

TBH I kinda feel cooked just by regular social media I can’t even imagine

Not many will understand how I am so excited about metal tubes #unitgarage

Y'all

The ICE building in Portland is painting a line in front of their building

But they don't even know how to spell government

2,000-plus Pima County kids get free books through Dolly Parton's program Even her biggest fans have trouble choosing Dolly Parton’s greatest hit.

Definitely looking for more TTRPG work in the coming months. I have a strong grasp on character and story structure, and I pride myself in blending narrative and mechanics in my design. I execute notes extremely well (and without ego), and I work FAST. Portfolio linked below!

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me? Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

Absolutely incredible video of a woman standing up to ICE. This is resistance

Bobcat in backyard - taken by my redheaded (probably unrelated) child. Never once have I seen a bobcat and I’d PLOTZ if I did. Huge cat lover. Lover of huge cats. But no. The girl saw it and her French bulldog scared it away. 😤

So deeply embarrassing for the United States. Trump legitimized Putin and his illegal war on the world stage and got absolutely nothing in return. Not even a single step toward peace. Everyone involved in this charade should be ashamed.

I like that it works just to say “Altman should be redacted.”

why destroy the department of education?

would you believe there's a creepy evangelical organization operating in broad daylight but under the radar whose meteoric rise goes a long way towards explaining it?
