One year ago tonight, I captured comet C/2023 A3 gracing the evening sky over Turner Falls, Oklahoma. ✨ #photography

A comet in the evening sky hovers over tree-covered hills with fog filtering in between them. A rocky waterfall sit at the bottom left.

Also, the guinea pigs you see as pets aren’t even the ones people eat. Those are called cuy, can be 3 times as large, are skittish, and generally have polydactyly. You wouldn’t be eating the shrimpy little ones you find at petco 💀

still really proud of this piece - I wrote it before the theft software we've been falsely calling "A.I." became ubiquitous, but I think it still outlines all the ways these ghoulish processes are an affront to the dignity of the living and the dead.

I didn’t come here to be a buttoned-down and respectable science writer.

I came here to be enthusiastically queer with the furries, kinksters, punks, and monsterfuckers as I try to survive this fascist hellhole of a country.

Liv and Brie have a little spat.

Liv: God you-
You're such a... bi-Jerk sometimes!
Brie: And you're acting like a selfish little BRAT!
Brie: Y'know what? Why don't you sleep on the couch tonight?
Liv: Yeah, that's fine by me, Brie
Liv sleeps alone on a tiny sofa.
Brie wanders in, clad in a blanket and lies down on top of Liv.

lets say a wizard has cursed you with a lot of money. you are going to become permanently brain damaged simply by being in possession of so much money. the only way out of it is to spend a lot of money on something ridiculous and not at all useful

what would you buy to break the curse?

Korol is a US citizen. Her family hasn’t heard from her since she was taken, public charges haven’t been released—what crime did she even commit? 2nd-Degree Woodwinding?—and there has been no explanation for her “renditioning” across state lines.

We’ve moved into a new phase of Trump lawlessness.

A musician, Oriana Korol, was peacefully playing clarinet with her protest band outside ICE facilities in Portland, OR.

When the band started playing “Ghostbusters,” ICE thugs suddenly poured outside, slammed her into the mud, arrested her and took her to a jail 9 miles away in Vancouver, WA.

‘Taking us citizens out of state to detain them without charge is a new action from the Feds and should be opposed,’ her band said

Create a small building-sized pyramid in every major town across the US. Pay graffiti artists to draw incomprehensible symbols on ‘em. Periodically pay someone to fill a random pyramid with snacks. Observe the weird conspiracy theories and urban legends that pop up.
