today my coworker & i sat outside our university union and encouraged people to write postcards to their elected officials & uni admin. we also passed out info on how to submit comments to oppose LB552 in nebraska. in ~2hr, we had 50 stamped post cards ready to send out!!!

A hand holds up a stack of post cards, front-facing. The postcard shown on top is of a character from Bluey holding a sign that says, “defunding section 504 was NOT on my 2025 bingo card!”

Unless you’re disabled or chronically ill and isolated from a society that makes every in-person human interaction a risk to your life then you don’t get to lecture me about which social media I should quit because your “moral high ground” demands I become even more lonely and alone.

probably my favorite thing I’ve ever embroidered 🪡

An embroidery project hangs on a wooden fence. The embroidery is of a bathroom, featuring colorfully stitched tiles, a bathtub, and a woven rug. There is also an embroidered towel hanging on the side of the tub. Part of the bathroom wall is painted yellow with watercolor, and the floor is painted a wood grain beneath the woven mat. The bathtub is made out of negative space comprised of only black outline stitches and some blue watercolor for bath water.

Your nonbinary friends and family deserve complete love and affirmation of who they are. If your politics don’t allow you to challenge the status quo, your politics are wrong. If your politics prevent you from seeing the beauty out of the binary, your politics are primitive and harmful.

i avoid commenting on celebrity passings due to the parasociality of the thing but David Lynch was an artist’s artist and a reminder to never explain yourself (when you don’t want to). one of the greatest filmmakers to ever do it.
