The image is of a four panel comic.
In panel one, we see a man sitting at a restaurant table. He is sweating. He says "Y-you have beautiful eyes".
The second panel zooms in on the man's face. He says, "I'm sorry. I'm just so nervous."
In panel three we see that a biblically accurate angel is sitting on the other side of the table.
In panel four we zoom in on the angel's face, who says "BE NOT AFRAID".

I feel especially tired as I head into fall and have to keep reminding myself that I had a booth for 8 full weekend events, youngest teen had a broken leg, partner was out of town all summer, the house got insulation, and I drove the oldest cross country to start college. I think I can be tired

I think it was when I was rewatching “Daria” with the teens. Realizing that there was in many ways a high water mark, looking back on it from “The aftermath of the stillborn millennium”

As I said, democrats don't oppose ICE on its principles, just its aesthetics. Biden and Kamala bragged, repeatedly, about having expelled and deported more people faster than Trump did. But without the bad vibes. Walz is continuing that fascist tradition.

Got to road trip the oldest teen out to college. I’m excited for them, and sad. Not that I’m “loosing my baby” or some shit like that, but there is this genuinely cool young adult that won’t be around to come up to me at 11pm wanting to start a 3 hour existential conversation. I miss them already

Was having trouble motivating myself to make some pottery. So I decided to apply for 4 more craft fairs so that I will panic and make art.

I really wish that when i ordered that new foot pedal for my pottery wheel with 2 day shipping they didn’t tell me 3 days later “they will need 5-7 days processing time” I actually needed this part 9 days ago. I have to make things for the next three weeks of fairs. Need a working pedal for that

Frequent large fires are only partially due to climate change. Its also things like extended periods of fire suppression that ignore natural fire return intervals & same stand-age "forests" aka tree farms that aren't actual forests. Ecology is not simple & mitigation can happen on multiple fronts!

I don’t like loud noises, I don’t care about this holiday, and I understand perfectly why people get annoyed at fireworks. However I do appreciate in my neighborhood people NEED to light illegal giant mortars and enough of them choose to do this that the police are powerless to stop them.

I wrote about the Supreme Court's latest disgusting anti-trans ruling. I wrote about it because I refuse to act like taking away constitutional rights and allowing legal discrimination is okay just because it's happening to people who don't poll well in a diner in Ohio. In @thenation.com

The Supreme Court’s Anti-Trans Ruling Goes Well Beyond Sports
The ruling is about whether trans people have the same rights as everybody else—and the Court said they don’t.

Fuck the reflecting pool. This has not gotten nearly enough coverage or generated the proper outrage. People thrown in prison for 30-50 years for the "crime" ofmaking zines and belonging to a book club!! This is straight-up totalitarian atrocity. Political prisoners thrown in a gulag to rot.

This is an example of the way AI is a crystallization (though not the origin) of a post-information epistemic culture that has taken an anti-documentarian turn where information no longer operates as evidence of the real world, and conversely can no longer tell when documents are evidence of fantasy

Most of adult my life I’ve paid 15.3% of everything I earn towards Social Security and Medicare, just like every self-employed person does. It’s a little peace of mind to know this will be there when my hands can no longer play the cello. If republicans fuck with this it’s called theft.
