SOMEONE IN SAN ANTONIO PLEASE GO GET THIS BABY
Someone in San Antonio, TX reached out to me today because she has a sweet, magical boy with FIV who desperately needs a home ASAP. In fact, he's so sweet that his name is Sweet Boy. Look at that face - he obviously just wants love! 💔 (continued with more info)

Just getting into sewing this year; did a fun exercise where I disassembled my old holey jeans to make them anew out of secondhand corduroy. Been a great exercise in appreciating a clothing item that’s been ubiquitous in my life/culture.

I often see apologists for capital punishment saying innocent people aren't executed. This is easily disproved. Then they move the goalposts to "They don't knowingly execute innocent people." This is also easily disproved. There is no way to make capital punishment just.
Missouri is going full steam ahead to murder an innocent person

Extremely same; I get a bag and then have them for lunch over the course of the week. These and Sumo oranges are the fruit seasons I wait for every year up here in the northeast.

Look at this new FIV+ cutie available through our local humane society in Burlington, VT! FIV+ cats can live with other cats so long as they’re all indoors and there’s no serious fighting going on. www.hsccvt.org/Cats#sl_embe...

Good to see the Lad looking so well and Hale! A good timeline break.

The way forward is mutual aid. Feel lost, lonely, scared? There is a free fridge project or pantry near you. Make some sandwiches. I am absolutely not kidding about this. “Not Knowing What Else To Do, Woman Bakes American-Flag Cake” is not terrible advice if you give it away.

just popping in to say that federal court judges have no humor whatsoever, and while that joke may be hilarious, maybe just don’t post it

Some people are marks and you don't have to be one. Rightwingers DO NOT believe that violence is not warranted. They believe that only they should be able to wield it.

Some seem to get mad at the wrong people on purpose. It means they don't have to actually fight against those with power. Punching down or laterally can feel like catharsis.

“Weapons experts said the shrapnel and wounds are consistent with Israeli-made weapons designed to create large numbers of casualties unlike more conventional weapons used to destroy buildings. The experts question why they are being fired into areas packed with civilians.”

Finished the final muslin for the “old jeans made new” pants, turns out the correct adjustment was 0.5” additional width. Marked and cut the corduroy, pretty happy with the usage once I accounted for the nap of the fabric.

I was impressed as hell by the end of Centaurworld.
the whole ‘actually, killing the villain makes us just as bad as him’ trope had done incomprehensible damage to society and i’m not kidding

If, like me, you’re a brown USian & formed an impression of what European countries were like from white accounts, you’re in for a rude awakening if you actually travel there! Especially when not a tourist/accompanied by white-passing friends. Boy howdy they do not take kindly to the likes of us!
There is an American exceptionalism embedded in the idea that y'all think you can just pick up and leave and go wherever you want. It's cute you think you'd be welcomed. Americans aren't exactly popular in the world.

I got a personalized email calling me an anti semite for my phone calls saying “we shouldn’t give money and weapons to a sovereign foreign nation committing genocide” so that was fun. First direct response I’ve gotten from my rep out of ~50 calls since I moved to the district; shows her priorities.

Congrats to all the profs at elite law schools who loudly vouched for John Roberts and Neil Gorsuch when they were nominated. Hope you placed your students in some nice clerkships.

Been tempted to start posting my scribbles and bad embroidery also; I don’t know why but sharing bad art feels like opposing the AI bullshit trend in a very satisfying way?

One of my favorite fusion recipes; take a chuck roast, prep it like you would pork butt for Carnitas, and add garlic, ginger and the masala for beef Nihari. I call it niharnitas; serve as tacos with fried onion crema and pickles turnips on flour tortillas/naan.
