We planted seeds in the greenstalk towers a week ago and they have nearly all sprouted. I love fresh greens in the fall and winter. Hell yeah.

When they eventually make a movie about this time, please don't put the male politicians in good suits. IMO, the ugly, low rent tailoring should be part of the story.

Summer 2022 I joined this marvelous fandom. It isn’t dead. A series might end, but fandom lives on. It’s in the art, fics and friendship that is made through it. Some might steer away, but there is a bit of it still there. Me? I’m a lifer. Thank you to all the talented folks who keep creating. 🌈🏴‍☠️❤️🥹

Nobody is going to want to hear this, but a real risk we face, no matter who is president next, is that they will see no need to restore the rights lost or the executive power stolen in the last 10 years.

the fact that nuremberg failed doesn't mean there's nothing worth studying. or even appreciating there. It's basically the first time we tried to hold a nation's leadership accountable for war crimes in such a way. but let's not pretend it was a success.

the Allied post war "denazification" was a massive failure. nuremberg was a massive failure. the Nazis who survived were, in large, not held to account. suggesting otherwise is fantasy.

Most people who have never been in a fundamentalist cult will always have a hard time understanding how deeply fucked up any cult is and how terrifying the echo chamber is. Cults don't just limit info, they teach their followers to reinterpret any new info as reinforcing the cult.

As both an academic and a writer, I am repelled by the "this looks like a long document. Would you like me to summarize it for you?" that seems to appear at the top of every pdf viewer now. NO. The *entire point* of good writing (either books or journal papers) is that every sentence has a purpose.

There's no forgiving this. No living it down. It's a stain on our humanity. When all this is over, the monsters who did this should be pariahs. And the soulless thugs who cheered it on while dehumanizing Haitian immigrants should be reminded of what they did every day of their lives.

An inspirational-style meme featuring a sunny, idyllic landscape of a green field with a dirt path winding through it under a bright blue sky.

The main text, written in bold white letters with a dark drop shadow, reads:
"Why do I have to take care of my body? I don't even like it."

My favorite Sam Neil fact will always be that he designed a future Australian flag that replaces the union jack with the aboriginal flag for Event Horizon and insisted the film use it.
