I like to imagine that Zohran Mamdani, Socialist African-born Muslim, was literally willed into existence by the collective psychosis of the Tea Party GOP over Obama, like the ectoplasm under NYC in Ghostbusters II

Is the selling point that you can moon people from the hot tub?

Still got the touch (aka fun parasocial relationships with my favorite local businesses)

Thanks! I’m in 8a on the east coast, we experience what some call The Pollening. Our skies even turn a threatening yellow green. It should pass soon and I’ll be back outside!

I need to be outside basking but I just got over the worst sinus infection of my life and am a touch agoraphobic.

IT’S ALMOST MOVIE TIME!

@oncinema.bsky.social at The Carolina. Made some Dootle Dots for the occasion.

Wearing a mask in order to avoid being surveiled and then posting group pics at the gathering is…just…we’re cooked.

Please go do some mutual aid! Sheesh.

I’d say that’s a solid weekend!

Full weekend: volunteered at the Plant Festival at the Extension, talked with one of my local life + horticultural influences (NOT influencers, too old for that shit), and am staying at an Airbnb in the woods formerly owned by a botanist couple. 🌱✨

An ideal party is the one I just attended: tacos, cupcakes to eat at one’s leisure without waiting for anyone, one alcoholic beverage, lots of yapping, SITTING DOWN, a quiz, and home before 9:30pm.

Dual roles, working twice as hard. MBJ physically made dimples in his face for one of the twins. So relieved that the academy didn’t fuck this one up.

Amazing how it's the same people who keep getting covid who say "back during COVID"

Belated @nevermorefilmfest.bsky.social post! Festival year 27, 13th festival for me (6 volunteering, 7 on committee/jury). Spent a lot of time at the welcome table meeting our artists in attendance and greeting our amazing attendees, and the rest watching films!

eugenics is the foundational brick of so many of our present horrors. resisting that by helping create safer public spaces for all people matters.

@melvinpena.bsky.social yooooooo

The dishes are DONE, man.
