Get your shiny things, I've got shiny things ready for Christmas!

Supply will be somewhat limited this year, I'm having a severe difference of opinion with my heart medication, but I'm doing what I can to stock up.

United States Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy is seen wearing a blue suit, white shirt, and tan shoes. He's shaking hands with someone in a black outfit. A close up of his shoes show weird stitching on the side. They look like they're the first shoes ever made in history.

The women drawn to RFK Jr. see an intoxicating cocktail of romance and danger—whether it's getting attacked by a yak or texting about taking metaphorical bullets for each other.

But to most others, Kennedy is a reckless conspiracy theorist whose appetite for danger will result in a sicker America.
The inexplicable sex appeal of RFK Jr.
How can such ferocious desire be attached to this man? Two memoirs by the women who love him offer some clues.

Y’all I’m really enjoying the pie discourse.

We have to do more ridiculous shit like this.

We can’t just torture ourselves and each other all day every day with trauma.

It’s good to sometimes have some silly fun and remember that happiness still exists and we should fight for more of it.

Libraries are free for you to use, serve the public good, are great, support creators financially and, I cannot be clear enough about this-- ARE FREE FOR YOU TO USE-- so pirating books makes you kind of an asshole, not some Marxist revolutionary.

If the book you want isn't there *request it.*

We want to give a ton of love to 6 Texas-organisations who came together a few days ago to make 800(!!) HRT Harm Reduction Toolkits!

From Fort Worth, Houston, Austin, and the Rio Grande Valley, folks showed up to build community and create a resilient mutual aid network for trans folks in Texas.

I really can't stress how important it is for progressive and leftists to contend for school, library, water, etc etc boards. Hyper local involvement in our communities where we can actually influence lives.

The only correct pie take is that pies are like dogs—they’re all good, we just have stronger personal attachments to some than others.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.

I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

I was today years old when I learned the black feathers on Wood Stork wings are iridescent and can shine green at the right light angle.
A Wood Stork is perched up on a tree at the end of a marsh. The bird is tall, with white feathers, long gray legs, a bald gray head, and a long gray beak. Blurry and over-exposed photo of the same bird flying away. Now that its wings are spread you can see that its flight feathers on the back edge of the wings are actually black, and the feathers visible on the top of the wing have a green shine at the edges.

Listen to me, uncaring universe.

Listen.

May all those who harm others in the service of injustice find only in life exactly what their actions earn them. Harm for harm, unkindness for unkindness. May they find no grace, only raw justice.

To prevent this kind of tragedy:

*get a Tdap 💉during the 3rd trimester of every pregnancy
*vaccinate babies on AAP-recommended schedule
*ALL adults need TDap boosters every 10 years minimum (5 is better bc the pertussis part of 💉can wane sooner)
