I live in Colorado, have mad fits of creativity followed by periods of somnolence, and am charmed by snakes. She/her, or whatever.

- Mt. Rushmore is already a desecration. Maybe if he does this more of us will be willing to return that place to the people who hold it sacred, and they can cleanse it however they see fit.
- Very weirdly formatted link, and there is a moment of well-meaning (iykwim) transphobia, but the writing is extremely good and the portrait of the eccentric artist so well done. Made me want to listen to more Tom Waits. tomwaitslibrary.info/biography/in...
- Reposted by whetstoneJust like with Kilmer Abrego Garcia, the biggest sin any targeted immigrant can commit is winning battles — legal or PR battles — against the government, and they just won’t let those losses go

- One of the things that makes older women get angrier and angrier is the ongoing revelation, as we reach the ages men were when they acted inappropriately with us, of *exactly how young* children the ages we were appear from that adult perspective. There is no plausible deniability. None.

- Reposted by whetstoneThis morning at the Minnesota State Capitol. An ice sculpture that reads "PROSECUTE ICE". I'm told the organization behind the sculpture is Common Defense.
- Reposted by whetstone“(This is how men behave.)” It is not how men behave. It is how creeps behave. I swear to god, nobody is as eager to torch the reputation of men as men are.
- Yale prof David Gelernter defends his letter urging Epstein to hire "v small goodlooking blonde" student by saying that he was "keep[ing] the potential boss's habits in mind." This creep shouldn't be allowed anywhere near students. yaledailynews.com/articles/gel...
- Reposted by whetstoneJust been made aware of Haiti's winter Olympics get-up. That skirt looks warm, has good pockets, and has a massive horse on it. DING DING DING.
- Reposted by whetstonei am trying not to joke about the Epstein stuff because it's so horrible but there's also this ridiculous element where it's like... discovering Dracula is real, he's taken over human society at the highest levels, he's involved in tons of evil and also he's a huge dipshit

- The combination of this + TX's dummymander opens such amazing possibilities. May we get Blexas and a House supermajority.
- Reposted by whetstoneIf you're feeling helpless and don't know what to do: Look for people out there who are already helping. I promise they're out there. And then ask how you can help and do it. You're not alone. Community is out there and it's the way forward. ❤️👊

- Just heard on CPR today that there's an upcoming bill that would disqualify ICE employees from working in law enforcement in CO in the future @judyamabileco.bsky.social, please join @repyara.bsky.social and sponsor this. I live in your district and it's exactly the kind of thing I want to see!
- Reposted by whetstoneThis cannot be something a civilian law enforcement agent is allowed to wear in the US — and an agency that has a culture that tolerates this cannot be saved.

- Does anybody else get "ghost quotes" of their skeets sometimes? I have one on a post about how Japanese egg salad is the best. If supportive, let's be friends! If not, FIGHT ME YOU COWARD

- Who people are following can be indicative (the Jesse Singal follower labeler is often illuminating) but there are also good reasons to follow bad people — for example, I keep N3il G@iman on my list because I want to see it if people I follow ever reply supportively to him.

- trying to remember whether any human women in homeric epics get epithets that are personality attributes, rather than physical ones. athena is both grey-eyed and wise, but she's a goddess. helen gets physical attributes & family relationships, but odysseus gets "cunning"
