I don’t post much here, and I need to be better about that. My puppy, Kyoto, had a serious injury from a piece of wood and had to have $4000 in surgery to save her life. Please help me pay for this unexpected surgery if you can. The whole story is in the GoFundMe. Thx!!! gofund.me/9c12701b8
I love New England in the spring. It’s so beautiful here.
I've been working hard on my Vectorworks skills this slow season and am proud to have these completed. If you need any drawings or 3D venue modeling done please let me know. The attached drawing is from a model I drew by hand from architectural plans and on-site measurements.
So happy to be doing something other than an install. It’s event season again!
Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).
We 💙 links! Starting this week, we've made it even easier for newsrooms and more to track how much traffic Bluesky is sending to their sites. For those setting up analytics, Bluesky's referrer is go.bsky.app.
Please help if you can. We need help to get our kitten spayed!

When the history of this time is written down, the cowardice will be remembered as much as the fascism
We don't spend a penny on marketing. It's all word of mouth for @costplusdrugs.com That's how we keep prices so low. Please spread the word !
I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.
Hey @democrats.org! You are very quickly losing my vote. Doing anything meaningful against Trump’s destruction of this country is NOT how to get my vote. We need more Rep. Al Green and fewer popsicle stick signs.
Since Congress’s allotted funds have already been improperly unallocated, U.S. citizens are questioning whether they are legally required to continue paying federal taxes.
This is beautiful and amazing. Hopefully the military forces resist the oligarchy and fascists currently in office.

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”
I will never, I mean NEVER, get over the fact that this microscopic head on a needle coming in contact with a microscopic spiral groove pressed from something akin to the playdo fun factory produces something '🎶So Special🎶' faithfully & on the mark every single time. Aliens were here back then.
Correct. He’s not capable of playing multidimensional chess. Or chess. Or checkers. Or tic-tac-toe. As one of his aides put it during Shit Show I, “he’s just eating the pieces” on the board. Nothing he does is strategic. He’s purely guided by narcissistic, sociopathic impulses at all times.
brainthink@brainthink.bsky.social · 2y agoBingo. I keep telling people I know that there’s no grand plan here, or to anything he does. He’s not playing 4D chess. He’s a fascistic sociopath that seeks adoration and applause for everything he does, and he wants to be the focus of EVERYTHING. It’s that simple, folks, don’t overthink it.
Another bewildering day in American politics. If you looking for some historical context, check out Rob Parkinson's thoughtful piece at Commonplace. It highlights the story of bewilderment and a chaos agent in 1770s Pittsburgh in the days before the Revolution. 🗃️ commonplace.online/article/bewi...

Circumstances in which people are feeling extreme disorientation are potent breeding grounds for people who are willing to exploit it to take advantage in moments of crisis.

Mark my words. This is what's coming: Eggs will be $20 a dozen, unemployment 25% The nations of Africa will ally themselves w China, Latin America & Pacific rim w India Europe will stave off an invasion by Russia, and Middle East on the verge of nuclear war, as bird flu pandemic sweeps our nation
Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.
President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.
This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)
