Just drove through Great Falls, Montana where we've seen lots of signs for the reelection of Sheriff Slaughter. Now I am sure Sheriff Slaughter Is a fine Sheriff.
But wouldn't it be a badass name for a professional wrestler?
Sheriff Slaughter and his sidekick Deputy Doom.
It's my husband's favorite!
When a person loses 1 sense the others are heightened. That's why people who have no sense of humor have an amazing sense of self-importance.
FOR BREAKFAST of course.
I don't think we talk enough about the effect of art on us. I can see one drawing I really really like and I'll be happy for the rest of the day I'm not exaggerating. Your art makes someone feel that way. Your art makes someone happy. Your art helps someone get through the day.
"History will judge-" let me stop you right fucking there, history doesn't do fucking shit, I'm a historian, let's be clear here: elected officials need to do their fucking jobs, right now, before it happens, or future historians will judge THEM. Everyone knows and knew who Trump was.
i think if you tweet "a whole civilization will die tonight" you shouldn't go to the hague, the hague should get to come to you
ROCKET IN A RARE CONTEMPLATIVE MOMENT BEFORE SEEKING MORE SKRITCHES.
Our Siamese cat Rocket loves super rough noggin skritches. We call them Violent Skritches and if you do it exactly right not only does he purr but he grunts little sounds of enjoyment. This is always the goal.
The current darkness is not permanent, love will win.
Anne Rice for vampire lore. A revolutionary way of seeing vampires.
Miami Vice for TV. The First to create a TV show as beautifully layered and cinematic as a movie. From the costumes to the soundtrack...it was magic.
Often times the purpose of protest is akin to Vonnegut’s for writing: to show people that there are people like them, who think and feel the same things they do.
That, especially in times of trouble, can be a tremendous catalyst for change, even while the act of itself appears frivolous.
Sign on public storage building with lights burnt out in several letters, leaving “Public rage.”
I don’t think it will all fit in there.
Ticket to lecture by Margaret Atwood in 1994
Finding all kinds of tidbits while packing for our big move to Michigan. I still remember this lecture. She made a very witty comment about Lorena Bobbitt and how lucky there were strict dog controls in the town.

Our differences, the things most people see as weird quirks, make us more understanding, more compassionate & more human in many ways that modern society simply doesn't have time for. Our impediments are challenges we overcome. We punch above our weight, no matter the hurdle.
So much ugliness in the world right now, but there's also beauty to be found. If you haven't discovered @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social yet, you are in for a delight. His novels are fantastic & there's so much more-his essays & even his alt text are delicious concoctions of whimsy, humor and sharp wit.
Absolutely brilliant, and the best way to start my Monday. Cheers.
losing an hour on International Women’s Day feels right
It’s hysterical that when thousands of poets enter a city the weather becomes incredibly moody.
It's not the book that's stupid.
You exist for our pleasure, sir.
I can never walk past a sugar maple without saying I’d tap that
I just subscribed because I want you to have the biggest bag of chips possible. Indulge yourself.
So so sweet.
other people can make inroads and find common ground with regretful trump voters, in my personal capacity as a private citizen i am committed to hating those dumb motherfuckers for the rest of my life
We have a ghost cat. It occasionally jumps up on our bed.
