Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We do not need to pander to people who do not like what we stand for.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

A tremendous foreign policy asset… to all of our adversaries.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

Not all heroes wear capes.

In my day, never was longer.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.

Let there be snark.

No Kings: Americans standing in the way of bad history saying “Oh, Fuck No!”

The way to stop violence is to stop manufacturing the hatred that fuels it.

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

So fucking stupid, and still doing a tremendous amount of damage.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

“But what about the lurkers?”

The reference, I believe, would be to a certain José Pedro Balmaceda Pascal. (Although the man seems to be more of a dog person!)

    Seeing that picture of BHO makes me miss him so much! What an incredible accomplishment. He has saved so many lives.

    I went to yoga tonight, and it was gloriously hot and sweaty and stretchy and disgusting. I have always been tighter on my right side than on my left. But I was able to do right-leg splits for the first time since I was about 17. Woohoo!

    Tikka had a bad day today–and may have some troubles ahead (if the antibiotics don’t solve the problem). That last image…we both feel seen!

    For Seattle area Jackals there’s a meet-up on April 4th at 6:00PM for Satby’s visit.

    It’s at the home of good friends on the east side of Capitol Hill across from the entrance to Meany Middle School.  I’m bringing Dim Sum and Thai food.

    “A Pennsylvania woman linked to a far-right extremist movement was sentenced on Thursday to three years in prison for storming the U.S. Capitol, where she invaded then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office with other rioters,” the AP reports.

    “Maybe don’t do crimes” said a billion wingnuts when pondering our immense prison population.

    Thanks to all for the good wishes for my big boi.

    The anaesthesia is wearing off, and his purr subroutine has rebooted after a scary morning.  Now all we need is to have him continue his attempt to instruct Champ on the urgency of a clean face and paws.

    Here’s hoping orneriness is the best tonic!

    a real artist will never accidentally draw you a puppy astronaut when you ask for a spacesuit with a fur collar

    Well of course a real artist wouldn’t. A real artist would do it on purpose.

    I finished chapters 2 and 3 in my new WIP, the YA eldritch comedy Younger Things.  So far the heroine has gotten to mutate a bunch of degenerate sea beasts into glitter-covered Pretty Sea Horses with hugs, and learned that alas, it’s not going to be quite that easy with every monster.  Next, she must corrupt her first Outer God with her extradimensional sanity and love.

    Starring Curiosity Little as Herself.  Co-starring Dagon as Nerd Princess Kelp Goggles, and Cthulhu as the terrible Princess Tides.

    @Dan B: A bit far for me (90 miles driving), doesn’t look like there’s much parking in the area… dunno…

    ETA: Carpools anyone?

    @RedDirtGirl:

    I saw an inspiring tweet. A 100 year old woman denouncing book bans at a school district meeting in VA.

    Inspiring indeed! But there is no Martin County, VA – I think she is in Florida.
