Don't mind me. Just making book lists based on #feralandhysterical by #sadiehartmann and knitting a LARP scarf for my kid so hard it's almost a manifestation that's I'll finish both before 2025 does actually murder us.

A picture of a disastrous desk. The bottom is a the very tippy top of my keyboard. The top is a little glimpse of the a red cup that looks like a tiki demon face.

The rest is yarn. On white to rust red variant, a black variant, and what was left of my will and two once connected needles that the cord split on. Not pictured: Me, on the other side, full of pleasant enjoyment while reading a great recommendation guide.

It's only not full-blown excitement because my to-read list is at (conservatively, some bullets are just to look into a full collections of authors) over 500 books right now. Do I just never sleep now?)

You know what was weird last week? I didn’t see anyone fired for quoting words actually spoken by Jane Goodall.

Looking out the window at the next yard project: Jesus, that's grape vine, tree of heaven, and honeysuckle in a battle royale. The invasive bracket on survival of the fittest.

In case you were wondering, Ayman Soliman, the former cincinnati children’s hospital Muslim chaplain jailed by Trump admin who finally won his freedom back yesterday, tells @rollingstone.com just now, via a friend, that he “absolutely” plans still to return to the Butler County jail as a volunteer…

Who knows what team trump has in store for him next, if anything, but for now: the most powerful people in the world were not able to completely get away with it, or to do exactly what they wanted — only because enough people did not give up on their friend or neighbor, Ayman.

That is not nothing

Naked authoritarian fascism. Love and support to the entire team at @jimmykimmellive.bsky.social, who *will* come out the other side of this horrendous abuse of power. Disgusted to see ABC caving to this glaringly illegal and unconstitutional threat from Brendan Carr.

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 28d

Extraordinarily corrupt. I watched FCC chair Brendan Carr's full interview on Hannity. Carr basically said straight out that coverage of Trump he deems overly hostile can be decreed contrary to the "public interest," and thus grounds for yanking licenses:

I joked with family that life gave me chronic illness because the world wasn't ready for a 40+ years old, give-no-fucks me at full power.

Picture of a laundry basket with a quilting project in it. There is a calico cat who is actually a golden retriever stuck in a cats body, laying down one side of the basket to sleep.

(I can still surprise Brendan Whaley now and then with the things that come from my brain sometimes and get turned into a weird five-minute hyper focus. Drew, at this point, just shrugs when he catches a stray outburst of level 10 brain spiders.)

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy.

Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media.

That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, museums, and the arts – to prevent us from learning.

It's Fascism 101.

And now on to Freak Show.

Jesus, woman, if a clown looks like that and comes up to you, I don't think it's time for polite questions about his lifestyle.

Rewatching American Horror Story, and just Fuck. Coven would have been great story with some editing and only 8 episodes. So much of it is flipfloppy bullshit that doesn't entertain or add to the plot.

Finally finished all of Nevill's work. I think I'm going to do a combo of Fear Street summaries and reviewing the 101 Horror Books to Read Before You are Murdered list.

I've got almost 500 books TBR. Someone hand me some immortality already.

My brain just made the connection between Maximum Overdrive and my under-the-desk elliptical, and I'd think I'd just throw myself down my own stairs than face it in battle.
