Tenacious Grace

Reader, I'm going to marry him.

You know what? This is on me for assuming Cary PD would let the public know that someone armed was running from the cops. That's my fault for presuming competence. The NC state senate candidate in question called WRAL to give an interview while CPD was in pursuit. www.wral.com/news/local/s...

listen up fives, Aten is speaking

I saw the director's cut of "The Devils" by Ken Russell for the first time yesterday and I am making it my whole personality for the rest of the week.

For most of history it would not be accurate to depict anyone other than the very rich as eating roast chicken. Chickens were primarily for eggs and would not be suitable for roasting when they stopped laying. Roasting chickens would have been raised special and would cost a goddamn fortune.

Kendrick Lamar is one of the most talented composers of our time and I do mean that literally.

Every man who thinks that women only want "alpha males" and "chads" has never reckoned with the fact that I would marry Roy Underhill (star of PBS' "The Woodwright's Shop") right this moment if asked.

Also love this clip of indigenous women veterans dancing on Custer’s flag

When I say I love Dr. Betrothed because he adds to my life? This decorating choice is the sort of thing I am talking about.

Cat. :)

I have never once been badgered by my parents to give them grandchildren or made to feel like less of a woman for choosing to remain permanently childfree. I have never been ashamed for choosing to focus on my own success. That would have been damn near unheard of even 30 years ago.

If the last few days have given me nothing else, they have really solidified how I want to be remembered when I die: with tremendous initial grief followed by an outpouring of stories about what a fucking baddie I was.

Dolly was obviously a prolific & talented songwriter but she also arranged cover songs in a way that was fresh while keeping the underlying emotion of the original. Her version of Shine by Collective Soul has lived in my head since the release of "Little Sparrow" in 2001. youtu.be/plUD6vN80dg?...

The Grim Reaper taking Tim Curry and Dolly Parton on the same day is frankly queerphobic. Fuck.

I don't have kids and I am never going to have kids but seeing all my friends' kids going back to school makes me feel weepy in a good way. Look at all my little pals growing and learning! I remember when you were a baby and now you are giant!

Globally, greenhouse emissions for HEATING are something like 4x that of COOLING. Yet we never seem to hear any request for people to just tough it out when it comes to cold temperatures.

I've started buying boxes of bon-bons at Lidl and having one each day as a little lunch time dessert. Why the hell not?

Avoiding AI is about to be a superpower.

This is the ideal bok body. You may not like it, but this is what peak bogrification looks like.

whether it ends up being any good or not, warner has staked far too much for this to be anything other than ubiquitous for the next few years. and really, the quality of the show is irrelevant to its primary mechanical function: giving its creator more leverage to wage a campaign of trans genocide

A load bearing mythos of pop leftism is that the Dems used to be good and for the working man and then embraced neoliberalism so the working man got sold out, instead of "white America as a whole turned on the Dems after the Civil Rights Act and began tearing down their own commons and prosperity"

Me, attempting to articulate that the sensory/gustatory experience of a good meal is one of my greatest pleasures:

I plugged something into an inflation calculator and accidentally made myself furious.

Being a public school teacher is hard enough without having a failed real estate agent turned conservative blowhard making it worse. No moral courage whatsoever, just always seeking grist to grind for her cancerous content. Fuck's sake.

jesus along with all the other threats right now... be careful, portland...

here's a fun lil exercise for cis people: how many articles would a publication have to print calling for your extermination before you would expect people who care about you to stop giving them money? and how would you feel if their excuse for still supporting them is some fuckass crossword puzzle?

An acquaintance of mine fell down the stairs of his home in May 2020, cracked his skull open on the floor tiles, and ended up dying because EMTs were stretched so thin that he didn't receive help in a timely fashion. I relive some of the smothering horror of those days whenever I remember him.

Jimothy inspired me to take karate lessons in a suburban strip mall. Thank you, Jimothy.

I have seen so much good fan art of Seattle's Jimothy and it really is proof to me that absurdity & whimsy are important to humanity's collective mental well-being. We love a weird little guy.
