A multicolored quilt made of of scraps with the words WE KNOW WHAT WE SAW staggered down it with a large beautiful eye centered between the words. The eye has a rainbow camera aperture as the iris. It is quilted densely.

Another resistance quilt finished this week. The eye is my own design, the letters are a fpp pattern by QuiltByNight, the rounded corners and black binding are meant to resemble the phones we the people are using to document the horrors and disprove the governmentโ€™s lies about what they are doing.

Trump saying on social โ€œWow! Highest polling Republican President in HISTORY! Thank you.โ€

Trump saying on social โ€œWow! Highest polling Republican President in HISTORY! Thank you.โ€

Iโ€™ve decided for my sanity that Trump is just a manifesting queen trying to make her dreams come true and, hey, maybe I should try it!

Wow! My guillotine blade is still so sharp after Moms Save America Day!

I strongly suspect that 80% of people who are so anti medication and being โ€œall naturalโ€ are like this in lieu of having a personality and hobbies.

I say this as someone who used to be the most obsessive โ€œall naturalโ€ cult member. I was 15. Of course I lacked a personality.

Iโ€™m at risk of spraining my eyeballs every time I see people selling shoes on FB Marketplace by showing is the SOLES first. ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ Itโ€™s so common where I live. Who shops for shoes solely based on sole wear? Itโ€™s such a time waster. Who are these people? If I were David Sedaris, Iโ€™d hate them.

I was just saying this the other day on Bluesky! Funny coincidence, given itโ€™s the first time Iโ€™ve given armadillos any thought.

Jude Law and Jason Bateman in the same movie? I donโ€™t need a plot, thanks. Iโ€™m sold.

Denker: Melissa Hortmanโ€™s legacy? Democracy is worth fighting for. "In times like these ones, it is ever-so-tempting to find refuge in cynicism and nihilism. In a state and culture that praises stoicism, especially among white men, too many have resorted to claims of...

Melissa Hortman.

Say her name. This article is from this past summer.

She was killed by a right-wing ideologue who had a hit list of Democratic politicians. He also killed her husband, Mark, and attempted to assassinate MN Rep. John Hoffman and wife Yvette.

My "high functioning autism" is basically everyone else seeing me as completely normal but maybe just a bit picky/particular... while internally it's me in constant sensory overload, social overload, and fighting against my executive dysfunction to just do stuff...

Anyone else?

@kdlang.bsky.social K.D.! I was so hoping you were on Cameo (even though that seemed highly unlikely) so I could hire you to make my queer Albertan non-binary kiddoโ€™s 20th birthday dream come true. Do you have a fave charity I could donate to? ๐Ÿ˜ *bats eyes in lesbian* ๐Ÿ˜˜

Itโ€™s so devastating to watch our elders get sucked into propaganda and lose their minds toโ€” what is it ultimately? Fear of change + feeling stupid because they didnโ€™t stay limber and adaptive? I canโ€™t imagine this ever being me but if so, poison me all the way dead.

Armadillos are some of the most nonsense creatures. Like childrenโ€™s cartoon concepts.

Add to that: Biological sex complexity. Sex and gender are different. Autism isnโ€™t just awkward boys who donโ€™t make eye contact. Vaccines and pharmaceuticals save lives. Institutional sexism is real.

Partner: *startles because my phone is suddenly loud beside her*

Me: โ€œSo sorry.โ€

Her: โ€œItโ€™s fine. If I had a Bejesus, itโ€™s gone now.โ€

Me: *face screwed up in confusion*

Her: โ€œYou scared the Bejesus out of me.โ€

Me, autistic slow processor: *giggles long time*

Itโ€™s better being autistic.

Ok, last comment.

I am deeply in love with all of these people. I do not give it away that easy.

The Bear. Best show ever.

The real life chefs!!

I donโ€™t normally like to watch things again but I could rewatch this at least four times.

The character development, the empathy we feel for everyone. Did Tolstoy write this?

The foooooooood!

The actors!!

The writing!!!!!!

The yelling is so hard to endure. But itโ€™s realโ€”I know because it was my childhood.

Seven Fishes: Put it in an art museum.

May the universe get this to the creators of The Bear:

Itโ€™s a perfect show.

The camera work, the colouringโ€”something I wouldnโ€™t normally notice because Iโ€™m not in the biz. Gorgeous.

The gaps. The silences. The work we have to do as the audience.

The soundtrack! ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿณ๐Ÿ˜˜

85% of Gaza is on the brink of death due to starvation. Israel could let aid in at any moment. And some people (like these men tried to do with me on Friday) are still trying to justify this atrocity.

There is no justification. This could stop at any moment. End the blockade now.

โ€œJane?โ€

โ€œAlexander?โ€

โ€œDo you rememberโ€”โ€œ

โ€”she nearly broke her ass and you were falling deeply in love with her, blah blahโ€” a story for which we have no context and which interrupts the song but by all means, be all โ€œha ha you had to be thereโ€ at me 1000 times, why would that get old?

I really need the whole internetโ€™s cooperation on this, please:

Can we stop putting Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zerosโ€™ โ€œHomeโ€ on the playlists?

Itโ€™s a good song but FFS. Itโ€™s been 6 years since the remaster and we were HOME most of that time hearing this on every playlist. ENOUGH!

I thought the leading cause was men murdering them. Like, directly, not indirectly through policy.

If you put Greg Kinnear and Amy Poehler in a box and shake them up, you quite literally get Greg Poehler. Not just in name. LOOK AT HIM. Oh my god. I knew Amy had to be his sister without even knowing his name!

I canโ€™t be the first person to ever say all of this exactly this way.
