dot the opossum yukkin' it up with the bemused badger herbalist

Brother Mort liked the peace and solitude of his herb garden but even so a visit from Sister Dot and her latest tranche of dirty jokes rarely went unappreciated

one of the greatest human triumphs of my lifetime is the relentless, unceasing, heroic effort by DECADES' worth of doctors and scientists to find a cure for a disease much of the world didn't take seriously for years because it predominantly affected a community they thought kinda deserved it

GM: Charisma check.

Mamdani: [rolls natural 20]

Dallas hires 300 goats to clean up White Rock Lake and yes, they’re very baaa-sy As part of the Dallas Park and Recreation Department’s new eco-friendly vegetation management project, the city is using Fort Worth-Weatherford area goats and...

This is the future that (Texas) liberals want: taxpayer-funded goats clearing invasives from public parks & restoring the health of native prairie.

a good-faith discussion requires listening to the other persons arguments and genuinely considering and engaging with them. some positions are not worth considering or engaging with. this renders certain discussions a series of "nuh-uh"s. theyre stealing your time on this earth. killing you slowly

“Collection of Handwritten Letters from Children in Detention Center” sounds like an exhibit in the Holocaust Museum.

Uhoh those the were load-bearing witches.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

I can’t believe we’re back to medieval level conflicts like “local government thugs stop, harass priests, cardinal intervenes”

Discworld QOTD, from Wyrd Sisters

Conversation that I really hope happened:

PARENT: Yes, Principal, we have told him never to resort to physical violence. Of course we’re disappointed. He’ll be grounded for a month.

*five minutes later, in the car*

PARENT: Ice cream before or after we go get you that new PS5?

“DHS is shutting down because it refuses to obey the law” is excellent framing

Cartoon: If anyone in Chicago knows this school or an anti ICE organization affiliated with them I would be happy to donate this art. I only wish I could have fully Sal Buscema-ed that punch :)

Hemlock and Silver is so good. Every time you think @tkingfisher.com has reached the pinnacle of "Steadfast lethal bodyguard who believes the heroine can do anything and would also die for her," she drops another banger.

I can’t stop thinking about Mourn Watch Rook being a freak

red and black illustration of Jun from Lunar Blight dressed up in leather and spikes and holding his sword between his legs with chains. There's a dragon-like monster beside him with it's long tongue sticking out. The text on the top says "BUILT FOR PAIN" and the text on the bottom says "MADE FOR PLEASURE"

This is probably the time to mention that DAGGERBOUND has a very large isopod scholar and I can’t wait for you all to meet her.

we’re in the vet’s office waiting room and they just called for Agamemnon. we all looked at the Great Dane but it turns out Agamemnon is an orange kitten in a backpack that makes him look like an astronaut cheese puff

How to Hold It Together Look to the little guys.

Yes, you may feel powerless in this moment. But did you know that communities of mosses, algae and microorganisms are helping to hold up the Great Wall of China? elizabethgpreston.substack.com/p/how-to-hol... 🧪

It's worth reminding each other every couple days that every delay you create, every horrible opportunity you deter means someone gets home to their family, might even mean someones actual life is saved. All of it is worth it.

For my fellow brokies, though:

Reminder that Third Way is a Republican group attempting to pretend to be democrats to try and hamstring the left, and a good way to operate is to do the exact opposite of whatever they suggest.

I saw Goody Proctor at the wine mom gang at the LAX Radisson.

like yeah on this basis I am forced to conclude I am in fact a harder fucking operator than a strapped 6’2 guy from Dallas who shits himself with raw terror when he sees a Ethiopian restaurant

For my out-of-state friends wanting to help Minneapolis, Sanctuary Supply Depot is a grassroots mutual aid effort to support unhoused folks here. They take cash as well as in-kind donations: linktr.ee/sanctuarysup...

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.

And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”

Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.
