Since it's Ida's bday today & I love her, a little story about collective action. A few years ago (2018), I learned about a longstanding effort to complete a monument to honor Ida B Wells. For over a decade, her great-grandchildren & others had been trying to raise needed funds.

As a philosopher, people ask me about "the good life." I usually tell them that I don't have a normative guide for the good life except that any version of the good life must be lived in community. Turns out that I was wrong. The good life is a life lived with cats. That's my normative guide.

My quarterly PSA that senior pets are an absolute delight to adopt, usually chill AF, it’s often like getting a snuggly throw pillow that shits in a litter box. If you EVER have q’s about adopting seniors pls don’t hesitate to ask. (This is Polly, she is 15 and looking for her retirement home.)

Calling JD Vance a “millennial” just reveals how useless these generational labels are. Let’s get more creative: JD Vance is high fructose corn syrup in human form, A guy you would swipe left so hard on you might sprain something, The devil would look at him and say, Not enough style points.

This’ll never make me a regular on msnbc, but people should be ashamed to admit they support Trump. He is a hideously bad person proposing to enact a vast expansion of cruelty and human suffering. The erosion and collapse of social sanctions for supporting someone so indecent is a big problem.

*sigh* Time to find a new sticker manufacturer.

Today was a bit of a struggle, but after a couple of weeks of peeking out from his tower when I've been moving around and scampering around the room when I went out for a few minutes, Henry just hopped down and walked off down the hall like any other cat. All my fingers and toes crossed that he's

That Vance is a direct line to Thiel and Andreessen is truly important. Trump wants their money. Thiel wants to sell billions in Palantir contracts to power Trump’s mass surveillance/ethnic cleansing infrastructure. Pence was the Christian Nationalists’ guy. Vance is reactionary capital’s.

Are you a fan of all of those guys who are directly responsible for making the internet an unusable dogshit hellhole? Well boy do I have a VP for you.

Forty years ago this week, Greg Abbott had his spine crushed by a falling tree while on a jog in Houston. Abbott sued the tree owner, winning millions. Decades later, as governor, Abbott made sure Texans would never be able to do the same, thanks to tort reform. www.chron.com/politics/art...
