I make computers talk to each other for a living. I like nature things, especially birds. Books are cool. Recently obsessed with reptiles, especially crested geckos.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

The new Castlevania has wall meat. That is all.
The protagonist for the upcoming game Castlevania: Belmont’s curse has just broken a wall to reveal a hidden roasted chicken - a common hidden item in the 80s and 90s entries in the series.

Just finished: Book of the New Sun, first time through. Hard to keep plunging through at times (Jolenta and the river scene). I have a lot of thoughts, but I want to re-read before I go too crazy. One humorous note: Severian doesn’t understand “animal husbandry” properly.

Crested geckos are so charming. #reptiles #crestedgecko
A light colored crested gecko rests her chin on a vine. Her “eyelashes” are clearly visible. Most of her body is concealed by pink and red orchids.

A poem. An ice storm.
Fascism is Talking 
About the Weather
It flourishes in the mundane spaces of 
Small talk and close-lipped smiles of 
Walking by and commenting

     Barometric pressure falling

On the record cold temperatures.
Because, back in our day it was never like this
And people knew their place.
All you do is comply and you will be. Be good. 
You cannot be good if you dissent 
if you ask questions 
if you stand up 
America first and only and we were never 
Colonizers, but that comfortable word 
Settlers. And we do 
Settle but we do so on bloody haunches, 
Standing at the feet of yet another body
To make room make room make room

     Dew point 18 degrees and two miles visibility 

Hell, we can’t see what’s in front of 
our faces because someone else has told us
It’s sunny today in Minneapolis 
A sunny day in America
Nothing to see

     90% humidity 

Someone bought the milk and eggs, almost 
Got into a fight with that other guy who couldn’t 
Possibly belong here
In their heads
Their skin, their children,
Their passport their address and
What the fuck are we even making?

     Chance of precipitation 100%.

But it’s a sunny day in America because 
They told us so. And it’s so much easier to
Let them think for us so we can tay comfortable 
We can settle 
We can bask in the sun
As we freeze to death

Ok #birdsky any guesses about this fellow? He’s perched on a tree that’s probably 25-30 feet tall. His body is 3-4 baseballs so he has some heft to his body. Breast was white with darker blackish feathers 🪶

ICE just killed a legal observer—allegedly blocking her from medical care and letting her die. This is horrifying. ICE is a rogue agency incapable of reform. Minneapolis Mayor Frey is calling for ICE to vacate the city and I echo that call.

AOC: ICE has less accountability than virtually any law enforcement agency in the U.S., yet they are some of the most well-funded, operating with impunity—and we just saw them murder an American citizen in cold blood in the street.

FOLKS IN MINNEAPOLIS: SAVE all videos & photos from today. They will be valuable to prove the ICE agent --- who had time to move & re-position himself to the side of the victim's car to shoot into the driver's side window --- was not in reasonable fear of imminent serious physical injury or death.

This administration has not earned any presumption of truth — they lie all the time. And irrespective of the veracity of the statement, ICE is making the situation dangerous, and there is no moral or ethical case for shooting people who are reacting to the dangerous conditions they’ve created.
