I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

It would be immensely helpful if we could get my ex-wife and our kids in a reliable vehicle by 11/5. Any contribution or share is so appreciated #mutualaid

43 years ago today, readers the world over opened their newspapers and gazed upon cow tools for the first time. happy birthday cow tools. you look great.

The original Far Side Cow Tools Cartoon by Gary Larson. A cow stands on its hind legs behind a table, staring blankly at the viewer from behind its heavy brow ridge. On the table are four crudely made tools: a lump, a lump with an offset crooked handle, a long stick with hooked prongs at the end, and a crude handsaw with irregular teeth. In the background a barn sits on a hill. Caption reads, "Cow tools."

yearly reminder to people insisting that we view Christopher Columbus as "a man of his time" that *the people responsible for the Spanish Inquisition* thought Columbus was out of pocket

Thomas Lecaque @tlecaque.bsky.social · 16d

Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.

Fuck Columbus.

Then and now

My Facebook post from October of 2023 which reads:

I was made aware of some talk among folks who are no longer my ‘friends’ on this platform and didn’t really want to do this here but whatever. I have pivoted completely from religion and religious practice. If you’re interested why I’m happy to have that conversation, and if not that’s totally cool too. I also have no judgement or contention with anyone’s religious or irreligious path, and esteem every person as inherently worthy of love. Peace.

My Facebook post from today which reads:

It's been about two years since I made this post and I
thought I'd give a little update.
nOw
Meditation has been an important practice to me for
several years, particularly where it comes to managing the
symptoms of anxiety and PTSD. But l've found it hard to be
consistent on my own.
I've become part of a small Buddhist sangha in the Plum
Village Zen tradition as a support to silent, seated
meditation. This is something Hyon Gak told me a long
time ago I would need, and l've found it to be true (it only
took several years and many bumps to hear it, Sunim
and in light of the implosion of my marriage and my
impaired relationship to my young-adult children I need all
the support I can get.
I see this as less of a return to religion as such, and more of
the beginning of a focused path that allows me to more
fully experience a practice I have made an attempt at but
need to become more immersed in.
May all beings be peaceful.
May all beings be happy.
May all beings be safe.
May all beings awaken to the light of their true nature.
May all beings be free.
