A peaceful suburban street with distant hills under a partly cloudy sky. Cars are parked along the road with houses flanking either side. The red roofed tower of the town hall is seen on the right towards the middle of the scene. Mount Wachusett looms over the far background on the right.

A green Dilophosaurus with brown spots stands on a stonewall with a garden and lush green grass behind it. Across the street is Central Park with its grass coming in alongside the first leaves of spring. The church tower looms over the scene as a shadow in the distant background.

Dilophosaurus is ready for spring in the park.

A green Dilophosaurus with brown spots stands inside a brown cardboard box and eyes a huge, tan, and sugar covered pastry with little intention of sharing.

Dilophosaurus has some serious munchies.

A green Dilophosaurus with brown spots takes a bite out of an anthropomorphic square of tofu named Monsieur Tofu who is lying on his back, wearing a monocle on his right eye, and sports a thin and curly moustache over a mouth open with disgust. Both lie on a worn, brown studio desk with parts that have become stripped from computer mouse use.

Dilophosaurus goes vegan.

happy #fossilfriday! bonus: this is diamantinasaurus, a titanosaur from late cretaceous australia. in 2025, it became the first sauropod to have fossilised gut contents described, providing evidence of bulk feeding and multi-level browsing behaviour

Motown girl group Martha and the Vandellas not only recorded an anthem for the civil rights era – they fought for fair pay and proudly called themselves divas Classic songs ‘Nowhere to Run’ and ‘Dancing in the Street’ captured the revolutionary spirit of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s.

Wrote a piece about Martha and the Vandellas, civil rights, and their place in the history of Black women R&B groups. I also created a YouTube playlist (in the comments) with some of their hits

Healthcare is a right.

You shouldn’t have to earn it.

It shouldn’t be dependent on employment or economic status.

It shouldn’t be something you have to fight for.

It shouldn’t be something that leaves you in debt for life.

Universal healthcare saves lives.

A green Dilophosaurus with brown spots stands on a piano keyboard beside a little sea captain toy wearing all blue (with a blue cap) and a long white beard that I found on my very first trip to the beach as an eighteen-month old.

Black and white photo of a shorthaired tabby kitten appearing to burst through a sheet of white paper in a dark frame. Text at the bottom reads “sauve qui peut”.

Black and white photo of a shorthaired tabby kitten appearing to burst through a sheet of white paper in a dark frame. Text at the bottom reads “sauve qui peut”.

“Sauve qui peut”. This is a French phrase that translates literally to something like "save yourself who's able/can" and roughly equates to “run for your life!” or “every man for himself!”, indicating a chaotic or dangerous situation/stampede. Postcard from my collection, no date/info.

Ugh

NPR is interviewing an oaf, clod and dolt who is an AI “author” yammering about her “process”

“Someone decided writing should be hard! I don’t want it to be hard!”

Thanks for the confession, you ridiculous woman

I say this often because it must be said: my daughter’s generation has fewer rights now than when they were born.

My father spoke of staying awake during times of change. Today, we are witnessing a generation that refuses to sleep. They see clearly. They act boldly. They will shape what comes next.

A green Dilophosaurus with brown spots stands atop a grey rock with white veins through the left side of it. More rocks surround the find with brown leaf litter from last autumn. Green vines peek out of the brush in the blurred background.

Hey, so ICE is still kidnapping and disappearing people in the United States.

Just because they got quieter about it doesn't make it okay.

Abolish ICE. Chinga la Migra.
