I recently finished reading The Sympathizer and god damn
I saw myself admit it then. I heard myself acknowledge that I was not being punished or reeducated for the things I had done, but for thething I had not done. I wept and cried without shame for the shame I felt. I was guilty of the crime of doing nothing. I was the man to whom things are done because he had done nothing! And not only did I weep and cry; I howled, a tornado of feeling causing the windows of my soul to shudder and clack. The sight and sound of my abjection was so disturbing that everyone averted his eyes from the sorry mess I had made of myself, except for the commandant, the commissar, and I.

When strangers ask me what my videos are about, I usually just say “science and critical thinking” but tbh I’m most pleased to sneak in educational moments like this youtu.be/USCeajPYuic

Trump is as demented as you can imagine in this Time Magazine interview but man did I laugh and laugh at this part. He's still got it time.com/article/2026...
Isn't it a founding principle of the country that the press is supposed to hold government and those in power accountable? Do you believe in that?
It is, but they got to treat you fairly. You know, when they write stories that are knowingly false, and everyone knows NBC's, NBC's bad too, but CNN is terrible. (highlighted): MS Now changed their name because they have no friends.

Made a big, sad decision before El Niño arrives here in the Bay Area: goodbye big ass tree pulling out of a steep slope while leaning precariously over our house. May you mulch a thousand gardens ☹️
big ol tree, as described. I’ll miss looking at it but I will not miss the dread it caused in heavy rain and wind.

Sipping my coffee this AM and watching a mule buck stride down the street, an activity that would be so zen and calming if I didn’t live with the psychotic captain of the neighborhood watch
a slightly out of focus (I had coffee in one hand and a screaming dog in my ear) mule deer with a nice little rack (of antlers) wanders down a street. Indy on watch: he is tired after shouting at the deer and is now looking out the window over the back of the couch, his head resting on the console table

What Macklemore did was unforgivable. He was on SOMEONE ELSE'S tour. It was not his RIGHT to use it for political platforming, no matter how valid the cause. If he worked on the front desk of the store you own, and he said to every customer, "Free Palestine," you'd fire him. But on the national stage, you're angry at the person he put in a terrible situation?!
Sheerin stood to lose 600 million dollars on that tour, and the man with the power to take it from him told him that Macklemore was not welcome at any of his stadiums. Macklemore put them BOTH in that position without consultation, and has permanently harmed Sheerin's reputation. He deserves to be sued into oblivion, but that would harm Sheerin more, so he'll get away with simply being fired.
And costing the jobs of all the other artists who quit.
And yeah, Free Palestine. Of COURSE. But that's on MY dime. I don't hav ethe right to force someone else to pay the price for that opinion.

Related to my previous posts about my ability to destroy things, this evening I made some beautiful falafel and as I finished the last one the paper towels where the balls were resting caught on fire and I nearly burned it all in a spectacular bonfire. Anyway I saved them. Well my husband did.

To clarify it’s actually a redesign of their new weight pockets…I was at around 80’ down when I reached back to dump some air. I grabbed the weight release instead. Luckily I realized, caught the weight & flagged down my husband to reattach it before I flew to the surface lmao
the new weight pocket on my bpw, which the company decided to make with the exact same pull as the dump valve, located inches away from the if you don’t know how this stuff works, just know that pulling one does the exact opposite thing you want if you were trying to pull the other

I actually put thought into this post, because I wanted to highlight the fact that the headline may mislead people into thinking this is Israel paying the US govt for bombs, w/out acting like that was more important than the genocide itself. I didn't expect someone would just...double down
I, as a US taxpayer, am paying a quarter of my income to drop bombs on starving children in Gaza & Yemen. Meanwhile, another person just died of measles in Pennsylvania. I am in a constant state of boiling rage

Breaking news: The Trump administration is preparing a $2.8 billion sale of 2,000-pound bombs to Israel, the largest single sale of the controversial munitions in recent years, a U.S. official told The Post.

....are you saying that the fact that this money is coming from American taxpayers is a lie told by Donald Trump and, in fact, it is Israel who will be paying that money to the American taxpayers?

On today’s hike, Indy and I got a sweet close-up look at our friendly neighborhood turkey vultures, who had their sites on something in the canyon beneath us.
two turkey vultures are perched on a dead tree trunk. One has spread his wings in a dramatic fashion. the other is just chilling, staring at us to remind us of our place in the circle of lifeIndy looks like a funny doof on the trail. flappy ears, big smile, saddlebags full of his own poop.

If you love attention, I highly recommend adopting an adorable dog with a single brain cell and taking him with you everywhere. On this single 20min lunch stop he got several pets, smiles, a question about his confusing parentage (sheep?) and one offer of taquitos
Indy, the cutest dog in the world, sits at our feet smiling and looking very stupid and happy. he is very soft, curly, and blonde.

I love Catholics bc they love posting their own Ls. I found this random plaque they put up about Luis Jayme, who was beaten to death by the indigenous people of what is now San Diego bc he was extremely annoying. They even made an illustration of it happening! lmao get fucked Luis
a plaque about how the dude was “martyred”cool dudes murdering the piece of shit that came here and annoyed them The tension and animosity at last broke out at Mission San Diego. Local Kumeyaay people hated "European intrusion and resisted conversion," so they gathered local Indian people from the forty ranches. 15! Francisco Palóu recorded "Account of the Cruel
Martyrdom of the Venerable Fr, Luis Jayme, and of the Lamentable Tragedy at Mission San Diego."(16. At approximately 1:30 a.m., on the moonlit morning of November 4, 1775, more than 600 warriors from the surrounding rancherias silently crept into the mission compound. After plundering the chapel, they set the other buildings ablaze. The commotion soon awakened the two missionaries, the Spanish guards, and the Christian neophytes. Rather than run to the stock hold for shelter, Fray Luis walked toward the band of warriors, uttering the traditional Franciscan greeting: "Amar a Dios, hijos!"-"Love God, my children!" The Kumeyaay seized him, stripped off his garments, shot some eighteen arrows into his torso, then smashed his face with clubs and stones. 7]

I got a lot of these comments on my recent video about the Dobby grave story. It reminds me of anger over my negative review of “I’m Glad My Mom Died”: sadness isn’t art or talent. I don’t care about intent. the end result is bad and weird and gross.
:
Sight pushback here from a subscriber and a fan: Dobby is an allegory for enslaved humans who struggle for equal rights and die in the process. Calling him a "disgusting homunculus" just because you hate Rowling feeds into the same vile dehumanizing rhetoric that Rowling embraced after the Potter books.

I called him that because that's what he looks like, not because of how I feel about Rowling.
