Hats off to Chicago's secret Department of Malevolence that is responsible for working with the city's other departments to ensure a constant stream of very silly decisions that keep the residents from ever expecting competence, e.g., repainting the LFT markings in the fall rather than spring.

One of the most disconcerting moments of living in this timeline of the world in the U.S. is that A LOT of people in this country keep acting like there's a special line that needs to be crossed for fascism to *arrive.* The reality is that we are CURRENTLY living under Federal fascism. NOW.

a lot of people are replying with 'what are you going to do about it,' and while every level of government could do more, the powers the *DC City Council* has in this situation are comparatively limited. This isn't just voter intimidation, but an argument for statehood for the District of Columbia.

One of this year's Junior Magpies dropped by with the whole family (5 of them). Looking good, Junior! Still has those lovely blue eyes #birds

Very round bird with black head and chest, white belly and iridescent blue/green wings is standing on the edge of a concrete bird bath. Junior is looking at the camera with their blue eye. Bird looks thoughtful and calm.

It's wild poking around forums and seeing how Apple was gaslighting people for *years* saying that "nobody else" had reported an allergic reaction. Their website now very clearly lists acrylates and nickel as allergy risks, and they even use a normal font instead of burying it in a footnote lol.

Something I can't stop thinking about: On a whale watching boat out of Provincetown last month, we watched a migrating black-throated green warbler circle the boat before landing on a woman's hat under the canopy of the top deck & resting. Look at it. Haven't you, too, felt this level of weariness?

Despite involving only one person, this could represent a sizeable blow to the Trump admin's third country removals strategy. Last year, with the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case, they appealed a similar order all the way to the Supreme Court. And they lost. Will they try that again?

WHOA. This is big news. Mr. Soliman is a 31-year-old gay man from Egypt who came here at 3 with a green card. He lost his green card after a conviction, but an immigration judge found that he would be persecuted in Egypt and barred sending him there. He's locked in a hotel in Equatorial Guinea now.

A federal judge has ordered the Department of Homeland Security to return Ahmed Soliman to the United States, five months after he was expelled to Equatorial Guinea, a country where he has no ties, in a decision that could have far-reaching implications for thousands of others subjected to the Trump administration’s third-country removal scheme.

Arizona District Court Judge John C. Hinderaker, a Trump appointee, ruled that DHS violated the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment and “must facilitate Plaintiff’s release from custody in Equatorial Guinea and return to the United States and must ensure his case is handled as it would have been had he not been improperly sent to Equatorial Guinea.”

To be fair, neoliberalism has been hollowing out society since the '80s (or, in a few test markets like Chile, the '70s). This is really just another turn of the ratchet. Sure, it hurts! But so did every single other twist before it. 🫩

There is a tendency after high profile sexual violence to turn every conversation to prevention. Resist that temptation. It allows perpetrators and those who enable them to escape accountability. And every prevention program is undermined by a context where violence happens without consequence.

Spooky bird stories. My Halloween comic from 2024.

A comic titled Spooky Bird Stories. In panel 1, a turkey vulture is telling stories to other vultures, and it says, "She walked toward the source of the terrible smell. She got closer and closer, and then, to her horror, she saw... No dead body." A black vulture says "No!" and a turkey vulture says "Did someone already eat it??" In panel 2, a northern cardinal is telling a story to some songbirds. It says "They peered through the windows of the house at the gory scene. Zombies had smashed through the door in the night. The homeowner was dead. But worst of all... He hadn't refilled the feeders." An eastern bluebird says "Aaah!" and an American goldfinch says "It can't be!". In panel 3, A screech owl is telling a story to other owls. It says "And then the ghost fluffed itself up really big to appear scarier." A saw-whet owl gasps, and a long-eared owl says "Horrifying!". In panel 4, a downy woodpecker is telling a story to other woodpeckers, and says "The eerie sound rang through the dark woods. Tap-tap. Tap-tap. It was the distinctive two-part knock of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker. The species had returned from the dead... FOR REVENGE." A red-cockaded woodpecker says "Yesss".
