Reminder of when the House GOP of the 114th Congress picked all white dudes as committee chairs…except for the House Admin Committee, which duties include “services to the House, including food services, parking, facilities, and admin” and gave THAT role to a woman.
I bought myself a lovely meteorite a few years ago for my birthday and this along with some pumice I picked up at Vesuvius (I rationalized that it's an active volcano; it'll make more) are my favorite rocks 🥹
Also, I literally still have this out of sheer, stubborn nostalgia...god, I miss the days when even significant games had early amateur art done with a ton of love (and the occasional thumb misplaced onto the wrong side of the hand)
One of my very favorite books, "The Final Encyclopedia" has one of my very favorite passages, and it's about this idea, that art (among other activities) must be good, or have an audience, or be eternally enduring, or whatnot.
The act of creation, the awareness, is the first and highest purpose.
I am the world's most mediocre gardener, but decided to do a very small amount of container gardening off the small, sunken patio in the condo we bought last Oct.
There's something purely magical at the amount that a plant can grow in a month, even for a black thumb like me.
@darthbluesky.bsky.social, Stan is giving me the most intense "J'ACCUSE" look in my life because I dared to hold him and use a wet wipe to remove some frankly odoriferous poop stuck in his butt fluff.
Please support me in this! It was for his own good!
