Almost moved to tears by the turnout at this rally to defend the Kennedy Center from the truly evil forces that are attempting to take over this country. This has been a body blow to the arts scene in DC, right when we need it most. But we're still standing. Hands off the Kennedy Center!

There’s a species of shark called the ninja lanternshark. It glows in the dark, like all lantern sharks. It’s called ninja because the scientist who discovered it was explaining her discovery to family at Thanksgiving and then her young cousin shouted “ninjas are cool, call it the ninja shark!”

Amid all of the national news-making failures with the PGCPS Transportation Department yesterday, I am also hearing from the community that ICE raided the parent drop-off line at a PG school yesterday morning. If you're a local reporter who wants to know which school, DM me.

My piece “splash!” Includes a reworked Matsuo Basho haiku and a woodblock-print-inspired color palette (2026, framed digital print, 24” x 36”). It’s available for purchase from Creative Alliance in Baltimore. creativealliance.my.salesforce-sites.com/ticket/#/ins...

I've noticed a pattern with some old white men. If I say something unfamiliar to them, they assume I'm ignorant/wrong and tell me what they think is correct. They never ask a question, or wonder if there's something they don't know. They assume they own knowledge and I'm an interloper.

Voting is important. But voting was never supposed to be the entire strategy. People organize. People protest. People pressure elected officials. People build movements. People change policies. The ballot is a tool. Collective power is bigger than the ballot.

I called out “Gibson!” to our mostly-still-wild male cardinal. He came flying in HOT and skidded to a stop on the workbench. He really loves his walnuts! Here he is giving the side eye in an oldish photo. (Tagging fellow cardinal lover @grousehollow.bsky.social whose bird photos I always enjoy.)

We can make a society that exists for the care and thriving and enjoyment of the actual people rather than for the enrichment of parasitical greed freaks and the comfort of creepy-minded religious bigots. All that's needed is for more people to stop fearing good things and start fighting for them.

In my opinion hardwood Democrats who don't want to be replaced shouldn't have sucked shit for so long without listening to everyone screaming at them about it. We need to see so many of them replaced in so many primaries. Every time it happens is cause for hope and should cheer people everywhere.
