I mean it’s not a vetting problem, is it? It’s that it’s a racist party, run by racists, with racist policies, for the benefit of racists. The fact that it turns out to be full of racists is not a glitch

Are there actual (louder than just grumbling) bipartisan impeachment rumblings? Or is this still a hypothetical given (as you say) there have been so many previous opportunities to impeach, but nothing has happened (bc of lack of support?)

Europe can’t keep hoping that life will return to normal, as long as Trump & Putin are in power.

I think it's ignorance & definitely performative in the sense otherwise law abiding m/c folks are going to draw the attention of the media if they get arrested for holding a sign saying they support PA. But by saying this they're also endorsing the violence PA has committed in "support" of Palestine

A.Stringer @annekin1.bsky.social · 16/10/2026

I agree. I'm on the fence about whether PA should have been proscribed. But knowing that it has, I don't understand why supporters of Palestine don't simply join groups that haven't been proscribed. Support for Palestine isn't a terrorist act, supporting a proscribed terrorist group is.

My last hospital stay 5 years ago was in an all female ward, but I did have a male nurse at times. That said, any privacy (washing, getting changed etc) were always overseen by a female nurse, & it would make me uncomfortable if it were a male or trans nurse. I think it should be patient discretion.

I finally had enough down time to photograph “ghost forest”, my big sculpture from my October firing. The results were just spectacular!

A large roundish clay beast, about 18” long, shot against a grey backdrop. There’s tree stumps on the back.

Front view of the same beast. It has a smooth head, with no features other than a downturned mouth with porcelain teeth.

Back side of the beast. It’s red/brown/black. All the color is from melted wood ash from the firing. There’s many subtle shades and textures.
