I sincerely hope he never has another full night of sleep. May he always wake suddenly after an hour and a half, thinking there is something else he is supposed to be doing right that moment and not be able to fall asleep again until an hour before he is supposed to wake up.

Pie is the best of desserts. Except maybe coconut cream pie, but that's just because I don't love the texture of dried coconut. Everything else is delicious.

Is any of this new? Nah, activists & organizers have been saying all of this for ages.

Still, it's wildly heartening to see and hear how everyday folks were able to thwart those fucking Nazis.

(Perennial side note: Museums matter. The humanities matter.)

You need *print.* The resurgence of zines is incredibly timely, y'all.

Last but not least, you need secrecy. Small networks. Stop putting things on social (...she types on Bluesky).

Some part of that cheesecake crust may still be holding up the foundation of the old house. It's amazing what you can do with enough butter.

I have never been happier to see a "paid subscribers only" banner on a post.

Yeah. Has not been a good morning so far for him, poor buddy

For real. This is the third straight night he has woken me up because he has an upset stomach, but the vomit was a fun lil add-on. Here's hoping the fortiflora & bland diet stop it soon 😭

I feel like I have let you down, friend.

Have you been to Bier and Loathing yet? If you haven't, I suspect you will enjoy it - very nostalgic in a good way.
