Reason 1,372 to listen to Cheap Smut the podcast. The entire "It's like if the Midwest got freaky..." side quest during ep 108 had me crying. Thank you @cheapsmutpod.bsky.social for making my Tuesday silly.

The narrator for this audiobook has an Adam West quality to his voice and I really want him to say a bat-pun.

You ever see a DIY tutorial and realize you live different lives than the person making it? I have an ORANGE CAT, I can’t be having unanchored shelving,or blankets with fringe! There are people that get scared when they hear a noise at night. I just know the orange menace has struck again.

As someone who spends a lot time thinking about the values I want to teach my kid (besides PLEASE DON’T EAT DIRT), the thing I keep coming back to is this: I want him to believe that the strongest, bravest thing he can do is give a shit about other people—especially ones who aren’t like him at all.

One of the best things you can do right now is read books. Buy them. Borrow them from the library. Gift them. Read history. Read fiction. Read science writing. Read anything that shows you the world is bigger than what fascists say it is. Read to remember why your resistance matters. 📚💙

Finding moments to recharge is so hard. This is going to be long and it will be difficult but we must keep going. I cannot let mediocre people (term used loosely) without empathy outlive me. I must dance on their graves.
