I wonder if I can seek asylum in Europe for this. I'm camp savory pies. I don't really care for any of the dessert pies. Clearly, I was born on the wrong continent.

By all means, GO to the protest! After you have thoroughly read and internalized the opsec documents from the ACLU and EFF, and after taking steps to ensure that your presence at the protest is as safe as possible FOR YOU AND THE MARGINALIZED PERSON NEXT TO YOU. But do not fucking RSVP.

It's Jasper's 1 year gotchaversary. Onyx's is in a few days. When I adopted them, the shelter hadn't had the chance to get them neutered yet, so I had to wait for them to get fixed before they could actually come home. So, they're brothers that I adopted together, but they have different gotcha days

Thanks, I feel inspired: While trees rake carbon from the sky and lignify it 'til they die, eventually that heat's released by fire or rot or gnawing beast. But if you've got the clime to suit, and want to see less top, more root while storing carbon out the ass you cannot beat a prairie grass.

I realized a while ago that the reason why llms were being forced on us, the reason why ai bros thought they were the shit was because they are good at coding. It took coding to build them and then they are good at coding, so their makers assume they are good at everything.

I don't condone violence. I also think it is unsurprising and probably inevitable. Elected officials should have delivered -- if falling short of abolishing ICE -- at least any real reform some time in the past eight years. You cannot expect order if there is no law.

Swole Doge and Cheems meme template. Swole Doge has a box of wine next to him as well as the "In our house, we believe" yard sign. They're labeled "Liberal Wine Moms" and saying: "The Orange Cheeto Man is literally the Antichrist, and he and his whole movement must be destroyed by any means necessary"

Cheems is crying, and wearing the logo of the Democratic Party as a badge. He's labeled "Democratic Politicians" and saying: "I assure you, throwing minorities under the bus and caving to Republicans is crucial to our future electoral prospects"

What's "illegal", in practice, is not only what is literally in conflict with the law but also anything close enough to the law to make someone worried about litigation risk. An abortion exception for rape and incest, for example, is ineffective because how does the doctor prove that?

I made sure to trim Jasper's claws before Dad's visit. I didn't really push the issue with Onyx because Onyx has way better claw discipline than Jasper. I forgot that Jasper is shy around strangers. He did not come within 10 ft of Dad the whole time 🤦.

Raven was told there is a 90-day rule to update your registration which is inaccurate, so she called Election Protection and they are helping her out.
