I was registering people to vote at an event yesterday, and a boomer woman came over to proclaim that while she used to be a feminist, it's no longer necessary because women won the fight and now have it better than men; no longer do we face harassment at work. And we can get credit cards.

We are not going to get out of the fascism problem by accepting just enough fascism to turn the heads of the fascism-curious.

we should just call everything in America America. where do you live? Oh, America, AM. On the corner of America Street and America Street. Yeah, I am pretty close to the America River. The America Mountains are really pretty this time of year.

it happens so fast as well... hiking on a trail that turned out to be much hotter and sunnier than expected, i suddenly could not go one more step. i felt so ill and i could not think. it happened so fast. thankfully i wasn't alone and it wasn't too much further to the car.

When I was a teenager and read it in school the translation we read contained the word "beeves" as the plural of beef (as in cattle) and we thought that was the funniest thing ever. We laughed about it for months. It still makes me laugh. Beeves. Beeves

i have talent and i've always made things. but what i always lacked was money, and the time that money buys you. the jobs i've done to pay my bills could have been done by anyone, but my art can only be made by me. we squander everyone's gifts in this society. UBI now and forever.

I can't provie a full timeline cleanse, but here, courtesy of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and the Associated Press, is an eastern screech owl asleep in an antique store. (The owl was gently, and without incident, removed by NYSDEC and released into nearby woods.)
A light-brown and white owl, eyes shut, sits on a wooden shelf between a chicken-shaped cookie bowl and an urn.

Open borders create more safety than closed ones, and most of the benefits of safety are downriver from being the sort of people who keep their borders open, thereby avoiding the terrible dangers inherent to being the sort of people who would keep their borders closed.
