1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts? Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from. Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

Vaclav Havel: The kind of hope I often think about (especially in situations that are particularly hopeless, such as prison) I understand above all as a state of mind, not a state of the world.

The photos here are just illustrations, taken on a path in the woods near dusk in November, bare trees, leafy ground, meandering route.....

The purpose of the pardon is to claim the violence of January 6 as sacred. That's not hyperbole--the movement frames it in explicitly religio-nationalist terms. It's--as absurd as this sounds--to add 2021 to the mythic chronology of 1776 and D-Day.

Bloomberg says that Trump will immediately declare a national energy emergency. We all know why — it will be about gutting environmental protection. But still worth noting that US energy is actually doing fine, with production > consumption and exports > imports 1/

Poetry Foundation not fucking around with today's poem of the day www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/89897/...

A screenshot of Maggie Smith's "Good Bones"
Life is short, though I keep this from my children.
Life is short, and I’ve shortened mine
in a thousand delicious, ill-advised ways,
a thousand deliciously ill-advised ways
I’ll keep from my children. The world is at least
fifty percent terrible, and that’s a conservative
estimate, though I keep this from my children.
For every bird there is a stone thrown at a bird.
For every loved child, a child broken, bagged,
sunk in a lake. Life is short and the world
is at least half terrible, and for every kind
stranger, there is one who would break you,
though I keep this from my children. I am trying
to sell them the world. Any decent realtor,
walking you through a real shithole, chirps on
about good bones: This place could be beautiful,
right? You could make this place beautiful.

I'm 0% surprised about Dolan's presence. I doubt Francis will do much. Will we see the establishment of an American Catholic Church? Will it be conservative and aligned with the likes of Graham and not the more liberal Catholic Church that was once talked about?

All of these nomination hearings in a nutshell: Congress: “Will you break the law if the President tells you to?” Nominee: “That’s for me to know and you to find out.”

One's inbox on Giving Tuesday sure is a heck of a mirror to look at. I've got a "Support Your Circus" subject line right below an email from a group of lefty nuns working on asylum cases and sustainable agriculture.

You don’t need to travel to see your family to dive into your core trauma and feel like shit, you can do it from the comfort of your own bed, actually.

There’s an exception for mysterious crones in the woods. But are we in the woods right now? No. We’re on BlueSky and you come to the doorstep of my replies unkempt, unthoughtly dressed with a face like an interrobang telling me about SAD lamps like it’s ancient wisdom. I HATE IT.
