Our dog is being a bit of a pill since oldest kid left for a summer roadtrip with friends a couple days ago (and the whole household dynamic is now—to the dog— inexplicably “weird”). But, gosh, she sure is cute.
Looking forward to getting the routine school communications on papyrus this year

One of the striking things about studying sexual violence is realizing how many people became abolitionists *because* they were victims of crime.
Em, midly@lefttheprairie.bsky.social · 4d agoIt’s so funny when people are like “sure you’re an abolitionist now but wait until you’re the victim of a property crime.” Buddy, the most useful thing the police have ever done for property crime is put the form you need to submit to your insurance online.

My husband is listening to a rapid fire, seemingly random film review roundup and I overheard the reviewer say, of Mike Leigh’s NAKED, “Yes, that is Remus Lupin” and excuse me while I walk into the sea.

this is EXTREMELY relevant for all “culture war” issues and i think about it constantly. just kirby the frame
Anthony Moser@anthonymoser.com · 11mo agoi would again like to remind everyone that NEGATING A FRAME REINFORCES IT "he's not really targeting criminals" makes it an argument about criminality "this is a fascist attack" states what is actually happening START WITH WHAT IT IS not what it isn't
So, what happens if I'm a parent and I know that my kid needs highly paid teachers, a library full of books with diverse characters, trans-inclusive bathrooms and extracurriculars, and a curriculum unpacking topics like systemic racism, colonial oppression, economic inequality, and climate change?
"A terrible accident," says Jigsaw spokesperson Tiny Puppet on Tricycle after victims found mangled in elaborate torture scenario
Lemme tell you about the angel of history being blown backwards into the future: The shackles these people have been put in are Hiatt brand, same company founded in 1780 to mass produce shackles for slaver ships.
Joel S.@joelhs.bsky.social · 2w agoThe use of extremely online memetic aesthetics to support far-right political goals is like something out of Walter Benjamin’s nightmares.
"Do the thing you can do instead of beating yourself up over not doing the thing you're not doing" is honestly life-changing, even life-saving, advice.
Leiracal@leiracal.bsky.social · 12mo agoThis concept was introduced to me as "run the dishwasher twice" and was an important part of my executive functioning recovery as well as my path to self-acceptance.
Just heard a video say, wrt a literal hit man, “The FBI arrested him on suspicion of unaliving someone”
It’s normal when filling the ice trays to whisper, “Cubemother’s back“
my city is swarming with tourists this week which means I’ve had a number of bewildering street conversations including one just now in which I explained to a young man the concept of “river”
Police murdered a Black man in the street in Madison WI today. Shot point blank in the head while on the ground, tased, and surrounded by four cops. It looks like an execution. Multiple videos circulating online. Things are about to get very bad here.
I swung by my favorite park-and-cry spots at Carson Park yesterday evening for some parking and crying, and also to peek in on the Eaux Claires set-up progress since I did not know if I'd make it for the revival year*.
When you've defeated the cone they put you in the Hannibal Lector
When I say a politics of white reconciliation based on a premise of anti-Blackness people act as if I’m spinning shit out of thin air but…
Every paper about what women should do to protect themselves is energy drained from building a movement to hold perpetrators and platforms accountable.
I’m in a tire store, waiting for a quick patch job, listening to conversations between staff and customers. And I think I’d go crazy if I had to hear the word “tire” with this frequency: all day every day.

This is the key: Racism ALWAYS presents itself as having some external rationale. It’s never “I just dislike this skin color for no reason at all, and that’s that.” But the Court has effectively said nothing is racist as long as some external rationale is claimed (or can be imagined).
Adam Serwer@adamserwer.bsky.social · 3w agoWrote about the Roberts Court’s highly selective aversion to identifying racism, echoing the logic of the infamous Korematsu decision, which the Roberts Court has both condemned and imitated. Call it Neo-Korematsu doctrine. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
I tried telling people exactly this. It does not work. We are in lizard brain zone with this stuff and I am afraid it’s too late. People have told me they’d rather have the cia track their kids than give up the “control” of tracking their loved ones. Can’t argue with that.
Dan Rosen@danrosen.xyz · 3w agoI think people understandably but magically believe that surveilling your loved ones will protect them from harm because it promises knowledge and control. But when you get more knowledge but little actual control, your anxiety goes through the roof
good morning #horrorsky hellions! i'm feeling like a long overdue rewatch this morning, an old classic that i haven't seen for years but was thinking about last night. #nowwatching messiah of evil (1975) and all ready for some smalltown hoodoo.
