☘ Today's #TwitpicTuesday rescue is my green shoe, worn on St. Patrick's Day 15 years ago. But this photo was really commentary on Fox News showing fake footage of "violent protests" -- something they still do to the #AbolishICE protests.

Β€ Today's #TwitpicTuesday rescue was inspired by BART shutting down transbay service this weekend. It reminded me of the #bartstrike in 2013 where we had to schlep off to catch some buses (except the buses were on reduced Sunday schedules this time around).

Β¨ This #TwitpicTuesday rescue is a photo of me taken by my sister. We were in Belize, shortly before the end of the 13th b'ak'tun on the Mayan Long Count calendar. She claims I'm "in tactical gear shooting a Canon" but I don't remember it being quite that dramatic.

Amelia's Elbo. Because before it was the Elbo Room, it was a lesbian bar named Amelia's, though that's been long forgotten by many people.

🍸 Today's #TwitpicTuesday rescue is from an old thread regarding the renaming of the Elbo Room to, um, the Valencia Room. Someone made a neon-ish name generator and various luminaries came up with ideas.

♀ Bonus #TwitpicTuesday photo for those of you who find it puzzling when the supposedly-liberal media promotes politically activist women who tell other women to stay home and submit to the wills of their husbands, because of God.

Just as political activist Phyllis Schlafly claimed she did.
