We’re roughly 30 minutes away from the first primary election results in Washington. You still have 15 minutes to drop off your ballot.

It was a good D&D night!
Monk hands Satyr a pamphlet on excessive attachment to physical things. Satyr: "Isn't it hypocritical to give me a physical thing to lecture me about attachment to physical things?" Monk: "It's compostable." Satyr: "Touché." #dnd

This is A LIE. Covid was - and remains - dangerous for children. Even though the death rate in children was lower than the general population children were maimed / disabled by covid via organ damage and blood clots.
Covid was- overwhelmingly- not a threat to children. Hence why (generally) we don’t vaccinate them now.
Sometimes I think in detail on what Trump et al have done already… …& how it will take *decades* to come close to “fixing” damage—what can be fixed—& have to immediately begin intense behavioral coping b/c the extent of corrupt evil exceeds my reality/baseline coping parameters.
Spokane 4 pm. Black smoke is often a sign of structure fire. This black smoke is rising further northeast of my location.
In a democracy, everybody needs to pay attention to politics, or it isn't really a democracy. The widespread belief that ordinary people shouldn't have to is a sickness in our national body.
So I live in Spokane and I am not really very happy about the fact that whenever we make national news it's for something pretty terrible. (I'm not *from* here, but I've *been* here for a while)
This 1899 clip of a little girl and her cat is the oldest surviving cat footage on film, just 4 years after the Lumiere brothers invented cinema. Now colorized and speed corrected.
Marvel did not kill off the Black Panther, the actor Chadwick Boseman died in real life. And Mr. Boseman’s colleagues did not feel comfortable with simply replacing him with another actor. These are real people who knew him in real life. That means more than your action movie desires.
The top of the US govt abusing power with even trivial things *is* the story. Federal law enforcement warped around lies and assuaging one man’s hurt feelings. The cynical, above-it-all attitude of doesn’t matter, stop being hysterical, why not humor him for a bit is part of why we’re in this mess.
So many sneering elitist journalists with snarky posts over the past months that the Reflecting Pool story was trivial. It was so trivial that the DC US Attny presented false evidence to a grand jury to indict an innocent man to please the President while they both lied about it.
Vacation isn't really over until you eat up the last of the snackies you brought home...😭
My unvaccinated brother died of COVID in 2021. I was about a year and a half into my epidemiology career. Healthcare staff did absolutely everything they could but they cannot cure ignorance. They cannot cure an anti-science belief and culture. Thats YOUR responsibility. Not Dr. Fauci’s.
That's right, racist. The inbred "heritage Americans" of the traitorous Confederacy got their asses kicked by a motley assortment of immigrants in the U.S. Army.
Another datapoint for the fascist radicalisation of institutional pillars of much of the American Right
Good morning Bluesky. And especially to my trans, gender queer, & nonbinary Comrades, cousins, & friends. Haters can eat shit and have a terrible day. Also, ICYMI, I haven’t seen this mentioned outside narrow trade press: 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

Here's the thing: I started Wolf Worm and it's insanely good, like everything she writes, but also I am having some trouble moving forward because omg
