This high-key makes me wanna get my friends over to start scribbling on a whiteboard ... I miss how towards the end of a brainstorming session, the ideas would become progressively more unhinged and hilarious 🥲♥️

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home.

Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

Worth considering that one reason Bluesky doesn't always feel super fun is that current events are relentlessly horrifying and bad

me: omg; I love nature - we need to do this more

*frozen in terror as boyfriend removes ticks from ankle, glasses, tank top*

me: burn it down to ashes; weapons grade spray repellant immediately - if it can't double as a flame thrower using a lighter in a strong breeze, it's not good enough.

Happy AANHPI Month! This is Nieves Fernandez, a school teacher, resistance fighter and guerilla leader during World War II, fighting against the Imperial Japanese occupation of the Philippines. She was so feorcious, Japanese military police put a 10,000PHP bounty on her head #aanhpi #aanhpiMonth

Illustration of Captain Nieves Fernandez by Nicole Gervacio. Captain Fernandez was a former school teacher and only known female guerilla leader who fought against the violent Japanese occupation of the Philippines during World War II.

"From the South Seattle Herald: Nieves worked alongside guerillas where she rallied and commanded a small resistance of 110 native men. The weapons they used included three American rifles, bolos (long knives used for clearing vegetation), hand-made grenades, and hand-made shotguns from sections of gas pipe called latongs. Under Nieves' training and command, the small resistance killed more than 200 Japanese and earned enough attention for the Imperial Army to offer 10,000 pesos for her head. Nieves' leadership joined an unrest across Leyte that provided protection and aid to civilians and assisted in the overthrow of the Japanese occupation."

Write the book you’d like to see someone pull from a higgledy-piggledy pile in a secondhand shop sixty three years after your death and say, "This looks fucking weird. I think I will buy it for Joan."

A #crab in a fish tank discovered the air pump… and turned it into a personal jacuzzi. Crabs are curious creatures and often interact with their environment in surprisingly playful ways.
