My mission statement for these fascist times (to impede, to annoy, to overcome)

An image of a freshly-tattooed triangle with the Latin words Impedire - Vexare - Superare (to hinder, to vex, to overcome) around it

Did they float? (nah)
Now I’m consorting with a 4-horned goat
My life’s delicious baby, that’s no boast
You don’t believe me, just ask Banquo’s ghost
(Take it to the forest)
Get your witchy on
Yeah, get your witchy on 🎵

🎶 I’m bringing witchy back
Them other hags don’t know how to act
I got a broomstick and a pointy hat
And a big cauldron to make midnight snacks
Take ‘em to the bridge (throw ‘em in!)

Trees shed in slow striptease. Hedges offer berry buffet. Shadows stretch towards the coming of cold of twilight. Even the quietest lanes parade their phantoms. This is autumn whispering its last summer memories. This is autumn edging towards the season of the dead. – #CLNolan

I’m pretty sure anyone in any profession would understand the horror of a dead snail in the beer 😬🤮

The hard part about propaganda is that the past changes so quickly we have no idea what will happen yesterday.

It’s a satire of Trump’s pronouncement that Biden didn’t protect the Capitol on January 6, 2021 - two weeks before Biden was inaugurated.

Trump labeling ANTIFA a terrorist group is all part of his plan to criminalize the Democratic Party and ultimately ban it as a terrorist group. He wants one party rule. We know this because it's exactly what Hitler and Mussolini did when first came to power.

I think not.

A sepia-tone image of General William Tecumseh Sherman with his right hand tucked into the front of his dark, formal
uniform jacket. He is giving major side eye to something to his 9 o’clock, which his stern expression suggests he does not approve of at all. The caption reads, ‘lighter flicking intensifies’.

Still one of my favorite RATM comment-threads

A screenshot of a Twitter thread in which someone asks Tom Morello lead singer of rage against the machine. I want to know what machine these guys thought you were raging against in a political way. Someone else replies I really hate printers with a GIF of the scene from the office where the guys beat a printer with baseball bats. A third person chimes in, they are evil!

Unsolicited lick pic

A small black-and-white dog is licking a window with a pink tongue. The window is smudged, as if he has licked it many times, and his expression is derpy, as if he will lick it many more.

That happened to me once when I slept with my watch band pressing a nerve in my wrist. Scary, but also So Annoying 🤨

He’s still pain-free, energetic, and joyously destructive. Just swiped yet another tennis ball from the courts across the street, bringing his collection to an even 20. It ain’t over til it’s over.

My little dingbat’s fallen out of remission and the lymphoma’s not responding to chemo this time. We got an extra year with him, but the clock is ticking loudly now. As licks the couch for no discernible reason. Sigh.
