So we fly a pride flag in our front yard in a very conservative neighborhood and it’s been there for the last few years. Someone put this in our mailbox and my goodness…

Fiona likes to paw at the edge of whatever blanket I'm under until I raise it enough for her to crawl in. Then she shreds my skin in joyful abandon, making biscuits on my abdomen. She's a small cat, but she has a loud, rumbly purr.

The weather has cooled temporarily, and sweet Fiona has entered cuddle mode.

Supervisor F is in hospital, I'm between two work events that need attention, I have a colleague in tears because of something I can't control (please go home and let me work), and I'm missing the Lucy Darling show in town this evening. We will get through it, but this is not my best day ever.

Historian of fascism here. This is an escalation of an attempt to normalize extreme violence, ritualize violence, militarize the country, and make violence entertaining so when they ask you to commit violence in their name, you will be ready.

Trump & Hegseth aren't just proposing to livestream an execution for people who want to watch.

I'm glad everything went well! I have one memory of seeing the screen during my procedure. I reportedly said "Pink" and went back under. A teddy bear wasn't part of my experience, but I did hug mine once I got home. His name is Aloysius, too.

What the public hears can change everything. Fueling reporting that is solely for the public interest is a check on power. It’s about protecting our collective right to know. But a free press doesn’t just happen. It takes action from each of us. ⏱️ Donate now: n.pr/3VxNBIZ

Dad and I had been making do in this heat with fans and spray bottles. 100F highs today and yesterday finally got me doing maintenance on my air conditioner. It's too small for the apartment, but it does well in my room. Five minutes after I turned it on, Dad camped out on my bed with his Kindle.

MAGA is only upset with Trump's policies because they thought only Black and Brown communities would be affected. They wouldn't have changed their vote.

The first plushie I chose myself was a California sea otter. I hugged that thing every night for years. Otter watching is one of my favorite things to do when I go to Morro Bay. Very calming.

A beautiful little spider and I scared the hell out of each other when I was in the shower. I noticed something extra on the comb I use, I squawked, and it landed on the shower floor. I put it on the toilet lid, and when I got out, it hid from me between the lid and the seat. Poor wee babe!

It's the people's house. Do the people want a free press in it or not? "'But I don’t have to let them into my—into the people’s house.' The last verbal slip was revealing of Trump’s real attitude to the presidency: the White House is his house. It does not belong to the American people."

Trump bans 3 media outlets from White House in further step towards dictatorship
The ban on CNN, MS NOW and Politico took effect Saturday morning, in a brazen violation of the First Amendment.

As I walked back after running a work errand, I saw a heron at a reflecting pool. Not sure what species, but it was grey and white, maybe a meter tall. I told it to try the Nature Center across town for better foraging, but it just looked at me like I'm crazy. It has a point; I talk to birds.

ICE wants to deport Wilber Rafael Garces Perez, a DoorDash driver who they just shot in Austin yesterday. The federal government can't shoot someone and then try to make them disappear to escape scrutiny. Wilber Rafael Garces Perez needs a doctor right now, not a deportation.

Wilber Rafael Garces Perez, a DoorDash driver, was shot by an ICE agent in Austin, Texas, yesterday while making a DoorDash delivery. Last week, DoorDash posted celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month. I’m reaching out to DoorDash for comments and will report.

If you are trans you are taken to a Catholic hospital, the staff is forbidden from even administering your maintenance medications. The personal beliefs of the staff and your medical history are irrelevant. About 1 in 7 hospital beds in the US are controlled by the Catholic church.

I turned on the oven for the first time in months today. Banana bread is almost done! It'll be another month, probably, before I can do anything else, but I'm excited the weather cooled off long enough for me to do a little something yummy.

I noticed yesterday when the phone rang that caller ID said "private" for both name and number. The caller is a regular customer; she's polite but unpleasant to deal with in every other way. I get why her caller ID says that, because no one would pick up their phone if they could see it's her.

Summer will return before it goes away for the year, but I had to use a blanket last night. My search for my denim jacket reminded me that I have scarves! Plaid flannel shirts! Sweaters! So now my hamper is full of dusty clothes I haven't seen since March.

A joyful moment this evening, even though it's 85F an hour after sunset: Dad's in his car with the air conditioning. Apartments 7 and 8 are empty. Next-door building is being tented for pests. There is no one to see me on my patio, watering my plants in my bra and underwear.

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).
A crescent Moon seen during the day, arcing from upper left to lower right of the frame. At lower centre is the full disk of Jupiter; the small dots to its upper left and lower right and Io and Ganymede, respectively.
