This is my yelling hole. Don't like my posts. I'm just yelling. Or do. Idc. YELLING. Ally. Ai is bad. Joy is resistance. I hate the trumpsterfire. Revolution Gardener. Fiber art. Graphic design. Bunch of art, really.

"Art matters both in the process of creating it and in the process of receiving what it creates. It's important for understanding what we're fighting for and who we're fighting for. Or, less contentiously, what we're living for. What's the purpose of being here?"

Ask Alex: All things considered, do we really need art?

@michaelhobbes.bsky.social/ @notalawyer.bsky.social I'd love a bonus episode that details all the things women have been kicked out of Cornell for. Just as a little compare and contrast.

Remember how, if asked, new Yorkers would say not to ever vote for trump? I'm a Chicagolander: Do NOT vote for Rahm. He was dumb enough to actually hire Musk's Boring co to drill tunnels through the existing tunnels under Chicago, for a drive to ohare, when there's ALREADY a train.

Every time he wakes up, it's such a bummer. But one of these days, he won't lift his head when the clapping starts. Someone will touch his shoulder, a slump, a scream, and the peals of relief in the streets.

Parent-Teacher conferences are the worst, even when your kiddo rules. Maybe serve coffee and snacks, run some calm music, burn some incense. I passed 7th grade on purpose, and PTCs make me relive it.

When kiddo was 2 and using a plastic potty, she was very proud to tell me she had used it. The next thing I heard was, "Jupiter, NO!" "Mama, now Bubba gonna poop the poop that I pooped." Vibe lines up with this dolphin.

School pickup has morphed into the only dedicated embroidery time I get. Setting up YouTube, patreon, insta, etsy, and researching auction sites... plus housewifery handover to become fully working on the house as a family... I miss dissociating.
A view from above of me in the car, wearing jewler loups and embroidering on green cloth.

The Democrats know we're not actually trusting the party, right? Most registered Dems agree on things, and they don't seem to understand that we don't believe their Maybe Somedays anymore. This isn't a bunch of people camping in NYC armed with little but WTAF. We have receipts & proof of concept.

I wonder what it would be like to write the same column, over and over again, endlessly. Seems like it’d be boring. But maybe it brings one comfort, like having your parents read you the same story every night before you go to bed.

Beyond the fact that it’s incredibly illegal and corrupt to use taxpayer dollars to run political ads on television, there’s another problem with re-running old ads like this: the messaging only reminds everyone what a fraud you are.
Black-and-white image of Donald Trump standing in a hallway from a recent ad he ran on TV with taxpayer funds. White subtitle text on a black bar at the bottom displays what Trump’s voiceover says in the ad: “we will expel the warmongers from our government.”

This is true. In 2016, I got into an argument with a gay man on a menswear forum. I've since made it my mission to make every man dress gay, thereby destroying his ability to tell who is actually gay and, ultimately, his chances of finding love. I built my social media following to achieve that goal
Someone on Twitter writes to me: "People should follow your advise if they want to look gay."

#caturday started either my hubbs sending me a pic of Noodle and Butter trying to play with BabyCat, our neighbor's tabby. Butter is desperately in love with her and tries to reach her through the glass daily. 💔
Two orange and white cats on the inside of the window, one grey tabby on the outside. The inside cat on the right is attempting to pet the outdoor cat, but the glass is in the way.

Last night I knocked on the door of a woman who was moving into an apartment after months of living in her car, homeless. She was setting up the place so her kid could be returned to her. We’re all one accident, layoff or crisis away from similar outcomes. What an honour to welcome her home.

There was no “retreat.” Christian nationalists have spent decades trying to take over Hollywood, media, universities and public education. They didn’t voluntarily surrender that ground. Their attempts to impose a “biblical” worldview have been rejected.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

I am having a panic attack. No reason. It's a good day, I slept in, slept well, ½ cup of coffee, balanced breakfast, pleased with my to do list, and a light amount of stress for These Historic Times. I even took my meds. But no. Panic. 100% of my body. Being a person is hard and dumb.

Please stop overestimating what a democratic Congress can do. The oligarchs are spending money to make you think a Dem Congress can arrest people and hold trials and pass laws without a POTUS signature so that you’ll be disappointed when they don’t do stuff they can’t do. Don’t fall for it.

Can’t believe our tax dollars are being used for political ads. The White House is now airing a taxpayer-funded ad during commercial breaks on Fox News. The 30-second spot has all the markings of a campaign ad, except the disclaimer at the bottom says: “Paid for by the U.S. Government.”

The youngest person his pager attack killed was 9-year-old Fatima Abdullah, who had just started 4th grade. The pager was on a table when it went off and she picked it up to take to her dad. It exploded in her face and reports said it covered the room in her blood. She wanted to learn English.

While embroidering in the car at middle school pick up, a girl came up to the car and yelled in an alarming tone, "Hey, you." Uhoh... "You're really pretty. You sewing or something?" So that's me chuffed for a week. A MIDDLE SCHOOL GIRL SAID A NICE THING AT ME. That's the dream.
