“If I were an accelerationist…” is a mental exercise EVERYONE should be doing rn.
Teaming, in fact.
(Empathy cuts WAY deeper than feeling aching for others…it is doing yr all to place yrself in another’s shoes/mind. It’s not a sin. It’s a ding dang superpower.)

I hear people saying that Amazon is not cheap anymore.
That was how they got you.
Sell everything cheap to put the competition out of business.
Then put up the prices.

But you don’t have to shop with them.

Amazon is great for realising what we want versus what we need.

Texas I know there’s a lot on all of us right now but these sweet girls need a hero — forward to anybody you know who might be able to take them in, even on a temporary basis? ABTCR pays for foster hounds’ vet bills, and we’ll even deliver the dogs to you!

www.coonhoundrescue.com/FOSTER.html

Screenshot of a Facebook post from American Black and Tan Coonhound Rescue by
Kathy Harden with the following text:
ABTCR has been asked to take in these 2 gorgeous Bluetick girls that are owner surrenders. Ages 9 & 6, spayed, up to date on vaccinations & good with other dogs & kids. They are located in Houston & we really could use help for a foster volunteer in Texas. If anyone can help rescue with these sweet girls, please let me know. Thanks for everything you all do in loving & supporting these hounds!

Followed by several photos of two bluetick hounds

One of my hometown rags (yknow - the ones w/recipes, colorful LEO stories, + ads for things like leaf removal) featured something beautiful recently. My mayor hlpd arrange a naturalization ceremony for a local teen. Used it as a tool to teach + cause to celebrate.

And EMPATHY.
And all the agonizing, somedays rly hating that I feel it, internal wrestling w/my lesser selves that absolutely comes with embodying it.
(Empathy, esp rn, is STRENGTH/COURAGE. Be brave, my siblings, countryfolx, + fellow inhabitants of our shared Planet Earth. Eees go time.)

We rise or fall together.
I’ve heard it said that optimism is the hallmark of ignorance.
Call me a fkn moron if it makes you feel better.
But mamma keeps wolfing down them 🚫 🍎s and the more I eat the gentler I become w/my neighbors.
(DGMW, I can start/end a fight. But I win most of em w/diplomacy.)

Surrounded by stupid/ignorance? Learn more. Live wisely. Teach the willing (iffin they inquire).
Surrounded by hate? Be firm/boundaried love. And remember the incredible power of vulnerability.
What we are rly surrounded by is mass, orchestrated suffering.
Love, knowledge, + patience are the balms.

Who has two thumbs, a still aching heart, and a weed whacker? This old broad.
And I have promises to keep that span far beyond today. Bare minimum is making sure the stones are clear + the sacred names remain visible. (Coins suffice when I cannot afford flowers.)

Happy Dia de Los Muertos to all who celebrate/honor loved ones who have crossed.

*This post is in loving/furious memory of the human beings I knew/loved who were taken too soon by pharmaceutical chemicals that were entirely too strong for their young bodies; and in support of all those who are still trying to rebuild what manufactured addiction violently stole from them.

As you hear more + more abt kinetic war on fentanyl, I STRONGLY encourage you to acquaint yahslf w/the sackler/oxy > pharma fentanyl 💩 show > street heroin > the dead/destroyed, fully manufactured addicts that they will also seek to further demonize.
Then ask yrself: who are the actual bastards?

My grandfather returned from Los Alamos w/a closed mouth and a jar of mercury that he used to do Formica kitchen table demos for my dad + uncles. 😬
Nvr spoke a word abt his actual job.
He’d have turned 105 nxt month + I’m so grateful he is not here to witness the frightened perversion of his service

In a social media post Thursday, Donald Trump said he's ordered the Pentagon to begin testing nuclear weapons "on an equal basis" with other countries.

The ramifications are unclear since no country other than North Korea has conducted nuclear tests since the 1990s. (from @alexmwilson.bsky.social)

Trump orders Pentagon to match other nations’ nuclear testing

I once wore a silver jacket to college, turned up late for class, said 'sorry I'm late', lecturer said, 'that's ok' then waited til I was halfway across the front of the full class before following up with 'trouble with the spaceship again was it?'.

I wore a suit with a matching tie and pocket square to my first day of work at an advertising company (I thought I was going to be in Mad Men I guess) and the staff sent around and signed a communion card for me with a fiver in it.

Found a baby rhino in my house this morning.

(Not vicious, just yawning)

Selma the grey/white whippet wearing a knit rhino snood for Halloween that gives her little head spikes. Her mouth is open & she’s bearing her teeth like she’s roaring but really she’s just mid-yawn.
