California peeps, vote yes on prop 40 to make the billionaires pay their fair share for using your resources to build their wealth. They didn't get there without exploiting people and using your infrastructure. Make them pay like everybody else.

Part of a current project in which I've cannibalized a couple of books to make a whole new thing as a gift for a special person. It's only 20 years overdue, but better late than never.

Engineered paper mechanism which slides an illustration of three medieval pilgrims to the right. Text on the illustration reads, "Here ends the book of the tales of Canterbury, compiled by Geoffrey Chaucer on whose sould may Jesus Christ have mercy. Amen."

Happy Pride Month to my LGBTQIA+ folks. Trans rights are human rights. Queer rights are human rights. None of us is free until all of us are free.

Clips from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine of Kor and Curzon/Jadzia hugging, and a tweet from Emily with the Star Fleet badge on a rainbow background. Tweeter Emily says: "This Pride Month, never forget that Klingons had trans rights. No hostility, no confusion, no clumsy excuse-filled justification, just a quick self-correction and the exact same amount of love and respect before and after. Cis allies: Be like Kor." with two hearts.

Well done yesterday, everyone! More than 8M of us came out to say NO KINGS! Whether you marched or just uplifted the events online, everything counts. Just make sure you turn out in those same numbers to vote! We are many, their ICE goons are few (and not enough to be a force at voting precincts)!

Happy No Kings III! Get out there and march if you can, and if you can't, write and/or call your reps to express your opinion. Even Schumer's growing a spine because reps have been pressured to oust him if he doesn't grow one too. Don't let anybody tell you talking back and voting don't work.

C'mon, we all know AI is small dick energy. www.tumblr.com/vvargamora/8...

Tumblr post from vvargamora, dated Dec. 19 2025: "the AI bros are always trying to install in us this fear of falling behind and being abandoned by society if we won't start using AI, and let me just say--men have been telling me I'll "end up alone with seven cats if I don't give them a chance" for AGES. I can smell the barely hidden desperation underneath the axe body spray like a shark, and boy am I about to make you cry from frustration.

Guess my little heater's running the bill up a little in these temperatures. Glad I've got level billing. Though I suspect I'll owe some at the end of the cycle this year. Baby it's cold outside.

Here's how your most recent bill breaks down December 20, 2025- January 22, 2026. You spent $70 more on electricity this bill period.

The underlying motivation for both capitalism and fascism (and puritanism): the fear that somebody, somewhere, might be having a good time. And the more people who are doing that, the more terrified conservatives are and the more backlash there is.

Clearly the Tech Bros read too much Calvin & Hobbes when they were kids. And missed the point.

Four panel comic. 1st panel: Hobbes and Calvin walking outside. Calvin says: "In the future, Everything will be effortless."
Second panel: Calvin says, "Computers will take care of every task. We'll just point to what we want done and click. We'll never have to lave the climate-controlled comfort of our homes."
Third panel: Calvin says: "No nouisance, no wasted time, no annoying human interaction."
Fourth panel: Hobbes says, "... no life." Calvin says, "LIve is too inconvenient."

Where I was yesterday, meeting up with old colleagues and new activist friends. Very peaceful, 2 by 2 line about 4 blocks long, all in black, with only a few bloodthirsty fanatics screaming on the sidelines that all Palestinians are Hamas. We could have wiped out all Germans with that thinking.

Friend asked me to rejoin FaceBook so she could more easily keep in touch with me. I tried to, just for her, but have apparently been permanently banned now that I badmouthed Zuck and his sucking up to the fascists & the 🍊💩🐒 before leaving there. Thin skinned much, crybaby billionnaire?

The most disturbing thing about this regime is the American people's fixation on ceding their power to leaders who they think will save them. It's the same problem in union organizing. We are many. They are few. They cannot impose their will on all of us, whether rank & file soldiers or civilians.

American unions have a lot to learn from the French, that's absolutely true. But American *workers* have even more to learn. The French understand how strong we are in a union. Its our best way to fight for a decent living. Our own history shows it.

Tweet from @Garbage Ape from 5/26/18, 11:44 AM: The joke is that the French are cowards, but lay one of them off and the union will shut the factory down and take management hostage until they're rehired with back pay. Lay an American off and they'll apologize to you and give you a $100 tip on their way out.

This is both hilarious and the stupidest piece of bullshit propaganda I've seen since, well, yesterday, when I learned what a hellhole DC is, with its lowest crime rate in 30 years. I personally am terrified, living in NYC. All those scary ICE agents! Miller is desperate. They all are.

Tweet by Stephen Miller which says: Crime stats in big blue cities are fake. The real rates of crime, chaos and dysfunction are orders of magnitude higher. Everyone who lives in these areas knows this. They program their lives around it. Democrats are trying to unravel civilization. Pres Trump will save it.
