Toby or not Toby
That is the question.
And that would have been a perfectly valid point to make - in 2014. They no longer do that. Even Biden - who I hesitated to vote for, because he was known as a "reach across the aisle" guy - has given us Dark Brandon, who calls out the Republicans by name. So the Dems have learned. Have you?
If you look at what's happening in the world, and you're not losing your shit completely, you're actively in denial.
I'm pretty sick and tired of the word "alarmist."
Our world is splitting at the seams. Fascism is here, the planet is hurtling toward climate catastrophe, inequality is higher than ever, bribery is legal, our water is being poisoned, and the government not only ignores our pleas but grows more oppressive by the day.
To be frank, the alarms should have been louder and gone off sooner. We should all be screaming out our windows.
@kevinrns @bascule On a completely different note, my 50# Aussie got in between a very large owl and a chipmunk. She had no idea, until that swooping owl's very large talons grazed the top of her head. She stood and watched it fly off in surprise until she realized what just happened and ran to the front steps to go inside, now, please.
I greeted a special guest in my dressing room after Saturdayβs matinee.
Brandon Gruber portrayed one of the youth in the Palo Alto Players production of Allegiance in 2022. Brandon is a board member of the National Downs Syndrome Society. His maternal grandfather was imprisoned at Heart Mountain, where Allegiance takes place.
Today is the day florida became a state, Mar 3 1849. A troubled place, now in the teeth of fascism. I have no optimism about FL, but once loved its exotic beauty, as well as its mid-20th century tourist traps. Stories of bags of contraband landing in the everglades in the 90s added to the mythology. Hereβs my sketch of that. #rnapper #mastoArt #watercolor
We have to keep it, and take back the House.
In spite of all the doom and gloom, the 2024 Senate map actually looks pretty decent for the Democrats - Palmer Report
Just need to work for it.
By refusing to sell #mifepristone by mail even in states where it's legal, #Walgreens, the 2nd-largest pharmacy chain in US, is offering an object lesson for companies in bending down and licking the boots of America's aspiring fascists.
#Walgreens is dangerous to your health. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2023/03/walgreens-abortion-pill-access

Another reason I donβt want to become famous is because Iβm afraid someone will pull up a list of everything Iβve ever favorited on Mastodon and theyβll call out super weird posts and try to cancel me and Iβll just be like βHonestly, I STILL donβt understand that post but I was trying to be encouraging so I gave it a little star.β
First time in my lifetime I've hesitated to wear my Star of David jewelry.
Wore it anyway, because, you know, screw that. But. First time it was even a consideration.

βNot since Germany in the '30s have I witnessed antisemitism, no longer lurking but standing proud with hands on hips like Hitler and Mussolini β kind of daring us to defy it. Iβve never experienced this in my entire life. Especially in this cβ¦

Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing.
