Owl Crate's first horror pick. This baby took me a while to get through. I think it arrived mid-June. Stunning design; I can't do it justice. The book started out slow, but it was well worth the read. Loved it. #StevenGrahamJones #TheBuffaloHunterHunter #OwlCrate #books

TBR is long. I finally finished the Owl Crate first horror book, so now I can start this one. Such a gorgeous book, and I'm excited to dig in. #MiraGrant, #OwlCrate, #SciFi

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.
Statement from Tristan Kern de Gonzales
Husband of Jonathan Joss

My husband Jonathan Joss and I were involved in a shooting while checking the mail at the site of our former home. That home was burned down after over two years of threats from people in the area who repeatedly told us they would set it on fire. We reported these threats to law enforcement multiple times and nothing was done.

Throughout that time we were harassed regularly by individuals who made it clear they did not accept our relationship. Much of the harassment was openly homophobic.

When we returned to the site to check our mail we discovered the skull of one of our dogs and its harness placed in clear view. This caused both of us severe emotional distress. We began yelling and crying in response to the pain of what we saw.

While we were doing this a man approached us. He started yelling violent homophobic slurs at us. He then raised a gun from his lap and fired.

Jonathan and I had no weapons. We were not threatening anyone. We were grieving. We were standing side by side. When the man fired Jonathan pushed me out of the way. He saved my life.

Jonathan is my husband. He gave me more love in our time together than most people ever get. We were newlyweds. We picked Valentines Day. We were in the process of looking for a trailer and planning our future.

He was murdered by someone who could not stand the sight of two men loving each other.

I was with him when he passed. I told him how much he was loved.

To everyone who supported him, his fans, his friends, know that he valued you deeply. He saw you as family.

My focus now is on protecting Jonathan’s legacy and honoring the life we built together.

If your concern is how someone coped with trauma or how loudly they speak when recounting injustice and being ignored by authorities then you never truly cared about my husband.

Jonathan saved my life. I will carry that forward. I will protect what he built.

    Tristan Kern de Gonzales

It’s not ageist to want your president to be young enough to thoroughly understand the problems affecting the generations of the working class, or to be present enough to be able to respond to all facets of the job. It is ableist to not want your president to need a wheelchair. Do we all get this

Last week, DHS and Secretary Noem's staff and spokespeople suggested that because Mr. Abrego Garcia had $1,100 in cash on him when arrested outside Home Depot seeking day labor, that was strong evidence that he was a member of MS-13. I guess that raises a similar question about her $3,000.

If senators can’t execute their official duties where influencers are allowed to film TikToks, perhaps the senate needs to freeze everything until it’s considered a branch of government again.

I look at Keir Starmer with a sick sort of awe. How to describe the uselessness? It's like- what if a baked potato could take a shit? What if binoculars were made of tuna? What if the hardware store had Teletubby-brand rat poison? A farcical combination of traits no sane person could possibly want.

Trump was always going to spend his second term screaming "They're stealing our MOON CANDY!" then crashing the global economy because of the ghosts in his brain, but it might have helped if so many media outlets hadn't run "Here's what your share of a Moon Candy seizure might look like!" stories

james surowiecki has discovered where the completely fabricated trump tariff rate has come from for each country "...for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us."
Just figured out where these fake tariff rates come from. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us.

So we have a $17.9 billion trade deficit with Indonesia. Its exports to us are $28 billion. $17.9/$28 = 64%, which Trump claims is the tariff rate Indonesia charges us. What extraordinary nonsense this is.

Who wants a CACTUS UPDATE?!? Too bad, you’re getting it anyway. Gaze upon the magnificence of my Potato Cactus, which fell off the other one we planted outside, making it technically an unrooted cutting, but has now formed a bud!

2010. A Japanese woman sits down to take photos of her shiba inu dog for her blog. Suddenly, a man leaps out of a time portal. "Sorry, I can't let you do this. I cannot tell you why." She asks: "Is it forbidden knowledge from the future?" He sighs: "No, it's just too fucking stupid to explain."

Morning #art post. I can't remember what I named this painting, and I can't go check because it sold almost immediately after I finished it. Done in #watercolor and #gouache on black paper from Legion Stonehenge.
An enormous moon sits low on the horizon reflected in a body of dark water. The sky is black and starry with a comet in the upper right corner. Some pine trees and tall grasses are silhouetted against the moon.
