Sometimes my wife and I like to send each other text messages as though they’re democratic fundraising messages, and I believe she has produced the jewel of the form.

, it's
and I
have some personal news to share with you.
Being a mom is one of the greatest joys of my life, and I feel deeply that we should have salad tonight
This year has been challenging in many ways, and I have immense gratitude for the kindness and support of family, community, and people like you who have continued to stand by me through everything. It means the world, and I wanted you to be among the first to know that squash is in the oven and kale is in the fridge.

As many of you are aware, ve been navigating one of the most challenging periods of my day while waiting for dinner.
Facing baseless federal hunger brought on by not eating since lunch, fighting for the working kids of this country, and now caring for a mean toddler and helping him grow up in a world that isn't always easy. But it has also reminded me exactly why I do this work and who I do it for.
I will never stop working to eat dinner. I will never stop fighting for what is right, even when there is also some feta in the fridge. And I will never stop being so very thankful that you are by my side in this important work and that there is tahini in the pantry for dressing
With love and gratitude,
stop to end

Three panel comic. Panel 1: underwater ocean camera view of a whale fall on the sea floor, with various bottom feeders and weird fishes crawling around the decomposing remains. Off panel, someone says, “hang on a second…” Panel 2: the speaker is a member of a marine biologist crew, remotely viewing the video footage from a computer monitor. The biologist is leaning against his colleague’s chair. He continues, “pan the camera back.” Panel 3: Back underwater, the POV shifts to the other end of the whale carcass. There’s a large spider crab with a standing just off to the side. It has a human face in a neutral expression, and is wearing glasses. The marine biologist says, “I think I went to high school with that guy.”

shutting down frat houses won't end rape culture, but it will disorganize a lot of rapists, and i think that's probably worth doing if only to destabilize what is apparently an ecology of organizations that functionally exist to rape women per the whole "purpose of a system is what it does" insight.

This makes me hopeful. This number is aspirational but nowhere near out of reach: a working professional could realistically cash out their 401k and buy off a public official. Owning a senator is more attainable for most Americans than home ownership.

it's strange how few television shows use the mathematically perfect ending, which is of course the heroes doing a big conga line across the screen followed by the bad guys doing a big conga line across the screen. i assume it's an intentional choice by showrunners to keep themselves humble.

RIP Peter Max. I was just admiring his 1971 "Astrologicalendar" the other day: www.peculiarmanicule.com/1971-peter-m... It has compatible dates with 2027, if anyone wants to print their own and remember Peter Max all year

Cover to the Peter Max 1971 Astrologicalendar, a deeply groovy astrology-themed calendar, featuring a ringed planet in front of a ton of five-pointed stars in a blue sky.

Pisces. A blonde figure in a dress and a top hat with a star on it stands holding some flowers on a plain under a striped red sky.

Libra. Several figures cavort under two flowers or trees. They might also be floating.

Capricorn. A figure with long blue hair sits cross-legged away from the viewer on a starkly red planet, looking at a distant green ringed planet.
