Treated myself by getting a small CD/cassette player for my desk because I realized I no longer had easy means to play either. Been very fun rediscovering some of the music I've held onto over the years. Currently digging into my '90s trance and techno collection. 😁

I continue to contend that this is absolutely unhinged, antisocial behavior. Why does everyone around you need to hear your call? Why are you still using it like you would if it wasn't on speaker?! WHAT ARE WE EVEN DOING ANYMORE

This movie deserves every accolade. Not everyone* deserves to see it but I hope everyone who needs to, does. The darkly funny, gorey, psychosexual meditation on sexual and psychic dissasociation, personal agency, kink/desure and queerness of my dreams. ❤️‍🔥🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️💦🩸 #CampMiasma #LittleDeath4Ever

I'm so proud of @dinaninaxo.bsky.social! Just won her primary & is all but guaranteed to become the first ever trans person elected to state office in Wisconsin. She continues the long line of LGBTQ+ rep won by people in Madison. She will be an incredible voice for the people in the Assembly! 🙌🏻

And 3. A very curious baby bison (aka American buffalo), also called a red dog or cinnamon 💕
A baby buffalo looks up from grazing in a lush tallgrass prairie. A layer of reddish fur still clings to the calf, with darker fur beginning to show underneath. In the background, the calf's mother grazes nearby.

Here are some small friends I saw today at work: 1. Hatchling (state endangered) Blandings turtles being released in a nice wetland. Wish them luck!
Two very small turtles are delicately held in hands protected by blue gloves. Long green grasses fill the background.

At the Corey Ruiz memorial in Madison. Angry white racist guy walked in, started kicking memorial, yelling slurs, punched a friend who tried to de-escalate & get him out. The way so many people stepped in immediately to remove him, firmly & without further violence, was a thing of beauty.
Handmade banners hang outside a brick building with a sign reading "Corey Ruiz." The banners say "justice for Corey"

Every story about the current (toxic) influx of wildfire smoke, of the wildfires themselves, MUST address that these incidents are getting exponentially worse because of human-caused CLIMATE CHANGE. And also oil companies should be paying for all mitigation. Thank you for coming to my...

Skeet from @dirtbagqueer.rocks: "up late doing worm research. People don't realize how fucked up worms are."

Skeet from @philjamesson.com: "priest: and so wise king Solomon said 'I will cut the baby in half.'

Priest: no it was a test

Me: risky test. What if he's not a worm"

It's entirely my fault for trying to get any writing done from the couch, where my lap immediately becomes inviting for Oliver to lie down on, making it impossible for me to actually write. The cycle continues. I regret nothing.

Seeing signs & stickers around town for the upcoming No Kings Day protests. Wondering what, if any, new theory of change or calls to action beyond gathering might come with this one. Went to their website & saw they listed a core principle of "no civil disobedience." Who does this ultimately serve?
Screenshot shows text from nokings.org stating, "A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action and no civil disobedience."

Ok orders received! Although, to be fair, @reverenceintimates.bsky.social took this particular thirst trap, which is why it's ART, too (and I'm so incredibly grateful, this was part of a very fun shoot that challenged me to try something I've not really done before). 🤠

Look, there's a lot more of substance to talk about & appreciate in @sarahkendzior.bsky.social's "The Last American Road Trip," but right now I just want to shout out this silly little Easter Egg that, for catching it, makes me feel (proudly?) like the Elder Millennial that I am. 😅
Text from the book reads, "Like Cadillac Ranch, the [giant prayer hands] were created in 1974--a big year for big art on Route 66--by a twenty-one-year-old Webb City artist named Jack Dawson, who loaded his titanic creation on a flatbed truck and deposited it on a hilltop that overlooks the town."

Facts on the ground also seem to largely support the judge being innocent of what's being charged and, SURPRISE, both the FBI and ICE lying thru their teeth
Official press release from WI Rep. Ryan Clancy issues support for arrested Judge Hannah Dugan and notes that ICE entered her courtroom looking for the person in question without presenting a warrant.
