After decades of anxiety disorder and panic attacks, I 100% support this sign. It can be difficult to take the action. But if the action is connected to the source of the anxiety, it will help you feel better, at least for a while.

One of the most TRUE signs I have ever seen at a march. Write this down and act upon it, friends.

If you haven't checked it out, pick up a @kevinhearne.bsky.social. His books are great fun! And based on sharing the time it took to drink a single beer and hear a funny story about researching likely vampire hangouts in Rome he's a good guy.

I signed ALL the books at the Bakka Phoenix table in the Dealer’s Room at Can*Con! They’ll take whatever’s left back to the store in Toronto, so Toronto peeps, stop by tomorrow at @bakkaphoenix.bsky.social and pick up something!

Telling moment: I was walking back from the rally, but a couple miles from it, carrying nothing but my gigantic American flag. An eight year old on his bike sees me with it and yells "No Kings!!" with absolute conviction.

My friends, they have lost the flag.

Did you buy one of each? Faced with a similar display once, I ended up with a book of sea myths & folktales, one about sloops of the Hudson River, and a Joseph Conrad collection of sea stories.

Meme featuring a dense crowd of blue-skinned, red-haired figures with fierce expressions—fantasy-style pictsies from Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series. Overlaid bold white text in all caps reads: “NAE KING! NAE QUIN! NAE LAIRD! NAE MASTER! WE WILLNAE BE FOOLED AGAIN!” The quote parodies Scottish dialect and expresses a proud, anarchic rejection of authority. The artwork’s chaotic energy matches the defiant spirit of the text, celebrating freedom and mischief in true Pratchettian style.
