It's a good time to randomly text someone a link to chicken.pics. Especially anyone bumming themselves out with doom scrolling. Contemplate how unaware chickens are of human politics. Visit the chickens. Be with them. They are your friends. Except for the one who is your sworn enemy.

Watching the 84-year-old Nancy Pelosi on CNN verbally stumbling her own way through defending Biden is a great reminder that this is a systemic problem.

Kamala Harris isn't some perfect solution to all that ails the Democratic party. But she is basically the only other plausible option, and insisting that a white or male figure untested on the national stage is somehow a safer option is telling on your own racial and gender attitudes.

i cannot get over the basic incoherence of “harris dropped out before voting in 2020 therefore she is definitely unelectable” and then in the same breath saying “this governor who has never run a national campaign would be guaranteed to be more successful”

If you are a queer,trans,enby artist of any kind and you made something today, thank you for enriching the world. I love you and I hope we all get to do it again tomorrow.

I easily fall into despair about the horrors of the world currently, but I can't help feeling grateful for queer creativity and activism and joy and for how much more of it I see today.

On birthday of Constantin Brancusi, two photos of the sculptor with his beloved dog, Polaire. She kept close to Brancusi in his studio, accepting food from no one else. Sadly, Polaire passed away after being hit by a car in 1925; Brancusi buried her in a dog cemetery at Asnières, just outside Paris

Has NYT written anything--literally anything--about TX's insane assertion that it is being invaded as a basis to ignore the constitution, or the dozens of other R governors that have backed him, or R talkingheads like Carlson who are talking up the idea of a federal-on-TX shooting fight?
