Ah, what a bummer. Truly felt like the show itself was made for me. Orville Peck, DAT Politics, border cops being the baddies, what a dream.

Y'all gotta watch Hilda.

Really excited about this conversation!!

Thank you so much ♡

I JUST GOT INTO THE PHONE

Bawling at the pictures he took in the last months of his life.

I've only had one really good cry since he passed. Feels really nice, honestly.

This one of my mother and her cat is particularly nice.

Unending validation about resigning from SBux. I only wish I had left when they got in on NFTs. Nearly did, but was on paternity leave at the time and calmed down before I got back.

We didn’t just break ground we laid the foundation for a dream 17 years in the making. It will soon be more than a site; it will be a sanctuary for our TGI family to heal, lead, and thrive. This historic moment belongs to every leader and ally who refused to stop building a world where we are safe.

We, as a species, do not *inherently* seek to extend our physical and mental reach.

Others believe, for instance, in “living simply so that others may simply live.” They too are members of the species.

Beware evangelists who claim their belief system sets the boundaries of our species itself.

My grandfather and grandmother would pass each other messages under the stamps to avoid censors. He wound up proposing to her under the stamp.

The Warehouse, in Plain Sight That concrete box off the freeway wasn’t designed for storage so much as capture. It’s a disappearing machine. We need to see it clearly.

That concrete box off the freeway wasn’t designed for storage so much as capture — of markets, workers, and, now, people detained by immigration agents, as the federal government turns warehouses into million-square-foot concentration camps.

It is a disappearing machine. We need to see it clearly.

Life plods along, regardless, and our brains and physical responses go right along chugging and reacting to things.

Perhaps even hell has leaky faucets.

Organized Abandonment | Sarah Jaffe In a time of escalating climate catastrophe, we need something other than paeans to resilience.

On the topic of “organized abandonment”, this great piece by Sarah Jaffe — people are expected to be ‘resilient’ after disasters (instead of getting organized support, incl resilient *systems*). Infrastructure, climate change, and natural disasters are inextricable. thebaffler.com/latest/organ...

this publishes in two weeks. buy it for the writer in your life, including the one that lives inside your brain. i think it might be pretty useful!

I got mine last week! Already spilled a coffee on it, covered it in highlighter and pencil, and somehow got a bit of chocolate on one page...

Great read!

That is rad, gotta believe that's a fascinating read!

Congrats on your efforts toward becoming a lay pastor

chelsea manning looking fly as hell in a nice suit being perp walked by a dipshit party city looking nypd cop named "anger"

yesterday in NYC, jewish voice for peace organized a protest against arms sale to israel. 90 people got detained after a traffic sit in held right in front of chuck schumer's office.

as usual, chelsea manning has the coolest perp walk photos. cop's name is "anger" lmfao.

We genuinely had a sub named Gay Butts. Her daughter, Megan, attended the school. I'm sure she had a rough time, but in my memory the only commentary from my peers was on the level of "that's wild", rather than any bullying/teasing.

I expect it's context dependent.

To some audiences it is likely useful context, to others it may be unneccessary, redundant or even self-aggrandizing.

Heck yes!

I hate how billionaires have colonised space at the imaginal level. You can't talk about space anymore without those dorkass losers and their lame fantasies intruding. Space used to be cool.

I have no doubt :)

Looking forward to the book!

three coyotes dancing and playing with text that reads "there is a future with you in it" with the trans flag colors.

I love and admire coyotes; their tenacity, ability to survive, and adapt has been nothing less than inspirational. They've always been here, and will still be here.

MUCH WORSE THAN YOU EXPECTED

TELL SCHUYLER TOWNE TO RELAX

Hah!

We love that book. That page specifically always gets a chuckle out of my wife :)

Also love the one where she trades for a tea set.
