I’m a year older than Noah Wylie. No way is a woman my age getting an award like this.

www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1... For the record, I do NOT support the Netanyahu government's appalling assault on Gaza! But, as a Jew, I also have a real problem with the virulent antisemitism Netanyahu's actions have triggered against me, my family, and Jews everywhere else in the world.

I set up my sign, and sat out by the space docks. “Have stories, will travel. Authentic tales of Old Mother Earth.” It’s as good as a free ticket anywhere in the universe, if you can do the job well. Humans get bored on long voyages, and reception is spotty in hyperspace. #vss365

So, Musk lied when he accused Ukraine of violating Starlink’s terms of service. What a surprise. NOT.

I’m in a group text with my brother and sister. I randomly talk to them about traumatic stuff. Sometimes, they’re the best people in the world.

Currently reading, and alt text: the word, “Massif” against a watercolor pink desert planet with falling rock at the top of the frame. There’s also a person in a space suit.

I cut my hair again. It looks decent. Part your hair as you usually would; make a ponytail at the nape of the neck, and secure it with an elastic; add a second elastic and pull tight, then chop at the elastic. Brush your hair out and make small cuts if it looks uneven in the front.

But there is another thing to rebut. They hint that all whales always smell bad. Now how did this odious stigma originate?

No wait to vote at the County Offices on Airport in Austin!!

I got a bone scan because I’ve had a celiac diagnosis for twenty-seven years. It was normal. Apparently my daily regimen of hauling trash/groceries/recycling/40 lb bags of dog litter and laundry/sweeping/bathroom cleaning/cooking/dishes/street parking/standing in line is good for bone density.

Want ICE off our streets now? Get organized: join us on 10/28 to get involved with the campaign to end deportations in NYC: jfrej.org/ICEout (Full credits for the music — a tradaption of Mah Nishtana & ICE Out — here: www.instagram.com/reel/De1ypv8...)

The Wardogs startup is not about creating good dogs for the military; it’s about creating creatures that are cruel. I don’t think that’s going to work. Most dogs like people. Particularly if you’re good with animals. The Belgian Malinois at the criminal courts have tried to get me to pet them.

"Dark Wind" It's the wind When I stop everything I can hear I thought it was rain I know a storm is coming They said so But for now I will enjoy The quiet rustling Of the wind A sinister quiet Before the storm

What a perfect way to turn the reader back to the world, the ending of Gary Snyder’s epic _Mountains and Rivers Without End_ (1996). Pure bounty in release, triggered by a kind of infinitesimal ending (“drawn to a point”), a collapse into plenty.

The Republican closing argument for the midterms just gets better and better! www.texastribune.org/2026/10/21/f...

ON AIR 🎃

I’m debating whether I want to give the IRS my bank account numbers for my tiny refund.

Austin folks, if you have strong opinions about ACC trustees and AISD persons, you'll want to do some research before voting. Most of the propositions are in bad faith, DOGE-y.

Oct. 10: Musk responds "Zelensky has gone too far" on X to Trump comments about Ukraine hitting Russian refineries Oct. 14: Ukrainian drone operators lose unrestricted access to Starlink for strikes; Musk posts that any slowdown is POTUS's decision. But actually:q www.wsj.com/world/ukrain...

I'm not sure how to deal with the starshield issue, if the reporting is correct. The only way I can think of is to use legislation to nationalize it, turn it into a wholly owned government corporation (like IDA, RAND etc) and then sell ownership stakes to allies.

this, from my colleague Cam, is a really good read.

Vote NO on the independent audit for Austin.

The turn-it-off timer on my 17 year old toaster oven finally broke. So, I bought a 2.6 quart air fryer. What do you cook in an air fryer? #FoodSky

This is how you deal with racist trolling.

This makes me irrationally angry. Putin will go after Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Belarus, and every other country it perceives as being part of the former USSR.

I don’t think this is going to help Republicans win the midterms. Maybe that’s just me.

Go to your camera and search “boat” and post one that you like. Aruba, sunset, 2014.

A submarine. I’d use it to surreptitiously chum the waters under every oligarch’s yacht, as soon as they’ve dropped anchor.

Something tells me she told them she’s an attorney in the interview. What’s wild is that there are a ton of JD preferred jobs that don’t require a law license. I was a legal software developer and owned a Pilates studio post law school, until I passed the Bar. The tech shiny meant no one asked.

The MAHA stuff about food offends greatly. I eat sardines, canned salmon, and imitation crab (it's pollock), and small amounts of kefir and yogurt, and no other animal protein, because it's too damn expensive. We're out here living on lentil flour. They need to read the room.

fantasy authors love a blight. up there with the old ways and calling mountains a spine

⚡️ Breaking: Starlink service in Ukraine 'restored,' Defense Ministry source says. SpaceX, the owner of Starlink, implemented speed restrictions on Oct. 14 without warning.

i know people think this is just bluster, and ill grant that’s probably most likely, but i don’t think we should understate the chances that a gutter racist president has staffed the DOJ with gutter racists that are going to try and denaturalize a sitting congresswoman cause they hate somalis.

When they ask you why you are masked explain that the Pope has lung cancer and so you’re doing your part to help protect him, and when they say but he isn’t here (and you aren’t Catholic), ask them if they think the Pope is the only person whose lungs need protecting.
