A weekend in the fire lookout was my idea. Keeping the reservation after everyone else bailed was yours.

I’ve seen just one counter-protester at No Kings San Diego. He’s got a Trump 2024 flag and this guy has been following him around for probably an hour playing Benny Hill and circus music.

There is an old prayer much favoured in Hookland which I offer up today for my friends in America: Protect us from the tyranny of troubled spirits and make them as smoke upon the wind. #NoKings

on teepublic it was originally called "eff ts" which I understand was probably to avoid getting taken down but also makes it very difficult to search for. other combos like "terfs shark" or some such don't seem to help either. I really need the artist's name! I hope they didn't delete their stuff :(

looking for the artist of this image, please help if you know who they are! they were selling their work on teepublic earlier in the year when I tried to buy this. I got errors and put it aside bc I was busy. now I can't find the shirt but teepublic's search is super bad

thinking about the time a cool Instagram fashion account asked me to name my favorite products and i didn't know i was supposed to name fashion products, so i said pigeon food because i like feeding pigeons and their followers were like "why the fuck do i need pigeon food for my outfit?"

The Instagram account Saint featured me. The first slide says: "Derek Guy - Dieworkwear. Derek Guy is a menswear writer who has written for The New York Times, Esquire, and Mr. Porter. He also runs a menswear blog called Die, Workwear"

One of the slides showing my favorite products. It's it's a big bag of Hagen pigeon food. The food is fortified with the vitamins and nutrients pigeons need.

Instagram user writes: "Why tf do i need pigeon food for my outfit." I replied: "this is what i can afford to eat after spending all my money on clothes ::sad face::"

This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States.

Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵

Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu."

Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

Look man I understand parental fears of severe disability and social impairment but if the science actually showed that taking Tylenol increased the odds your kid will grow up to be Ben Affleck in The Accountant then the eugenicists in our government would start a Super Soldier program about it.
