THIS! Reminder, civility is a tool of oppression. Graham has done real harm to 1000s, millions - and was gleeful to indifferent about their pain. A great thing about sudden death - no redemption arc. He is who he was, and what he did. May he and the Turtle have the afterlives they've earned

The Glorious 25th of May "Truth, Justice, Freedom, Reasonably Priced Love, and a Hard-Boiled Egg" And, again, it falls on Memorial Day in the US As I finish my reread of #NightWatch I again have no words for Sir Terry's .. humanity and skill #theglorious25th #howdotheyriseup #gnuterrypratchett

May The Fourth Be With You And because sometimes you just want to see the world burn (Again, nicked so long ago, and on phone so long time stamp is just "deep" - so can't attribute)

For all who celebrate May the Firth Be With You #maythe4thbewithyou #maytheforcebewithyou #prideandpredjudice (Would provide attribution but I nicked this so long ago phone time stamp just says "deep")

Don't toy with me Calm app

New game - Is the headline talking about ICE in US hospitals or Iranian agents in Iranian hospitals? 🤷

Pot-luck for myself and youngest. Different last names so we're in for dessert and salad. Dessert is banana bread (which is basically baking therapy) Salad - Bacon-wrapped marinated water chestnuts. One a bed of baby spring greens (I got one note, basically)

When life is so fucking bananas Turn on some music and make banana bread

Well ... of course. It would be, wouldn't it?

So, if anybody is in the SF Bay Area, this is happening. Tickets here: www.californiarevels.org/tickets.html (Only a little self-serving. While I'm very comfortably in general with men in tights, me in them is...ehhh 😵‍💫)

And it is fabulous! And yes, please more.

The Dumbest Timeline (It's like Thanos snapped and wished for "make all the politicians and oligarchs dumber, so the populations die slower")

Would you take medical advice from these people? I wouldn't take advice from them on keeping my goldfish healthy Or leave my goldfish with them. (So many words come to mind looking at this image ... One that very much doesn't is "healthy" *Shudder* 🤢) Oh #pedoprez #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

Because FB has been so good for people's cognition Yeah, No. No AI slop algo directly to eyeballs This is "nothing is working to sell this crap" desperate 1) You should use this cool new product 2) Everybody will be using it, you don't want FOMO 3) Use it or you'll die!!! (No link to CNN. F them)

So it goes

As we slouch off towards Armageddon, with US troops turning their weapons towards US citizens on US soil, and the middle east exploding... It must be comforting to know we have teh best team in place You know

Thatching ants working a dead nettle nectar mine. Visiting family on #vashonisland #pacificnorthwest #antsofbluesky #deadnettle (Really pleased with how this came out)

Fucking idiots

My contribution to #breadsky (that's a thing, ya?) Making the house warm and smell of fresh #bananabread on a cold, rainy night. Kinda feel like I needed this after the decade long month we've had

People posting about Google being all in for the idiot maps. Just wanna share, there are alternatives. MapQuest for example has said they won't play. (I do need to get out of Google ecosystem entirely. Dropping "Don't Be Evil" was one thing. Bringing it back as "Support Evil" is something else)

Thank you @rhysiedarby.bsky.social #2025 Bloody hell, indeed Thanks so much for the laughter. Goddesses we need it. Also, I've been in Bay Area off and on since 1991 and this is my first #cablecar trip. So - old school tech cool (no exploding hoverboards for this 80's kid)
