My cookies arrived yesterday!
Hey everyone! Incredible news!

Trans Scouts selling GS cookies this year on my list have sold over 50,000 boxes of GS cookies!

If you want girl scout cookies, consider buying from a trans girl scout this year! They'll mail them to you!

This is literally my fav thing to do every year :)
1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts?

Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from.

Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

On Aug. 12, 1958, Art Kane gathered 58 jazz notables in front of a Harlem brownstone for a group portrait.

Only one of its subjects is still alive: the saxophonist Sonny Rollins, 94, who spoke about the historic image.

Bluesky is great, but I could do with fewer of the following types of posts…

1 - “X sucks!” Yes. That’s why we’re here.

2 - “Bluesky is great!” Yes. That’s why we’re here.

3 - Strong feelings about Oxford commas. Wtf? Puts me in an Oxford coma.

But…don’t mind if they do, I guess.

Great guide. If you’re in driving distance - go. Bosque Del Apache is a great single stop spot to see TONS of amazing wildlife.

RIP Will Hart. A total genius. Olivia Tremor Control is one of my all time faves. I’ve seen them more than any other band. They taught me so much about music and about creativity in general. The world is a richer place for having had him for a while. 💔

This owl sat and stared deep into my soul for a long time, then crapped while maintaining eye contact with me and flew away.
Plus! Spied on by our phones, musical ramblings, cat’s dancing to Let's Dance, etc…
