@scream yes! Keep doing something that you can keep doing.
@PhoenixSerenity thank you.
@fordmercure Steven Colbert recently referred to an "all you can kiss, butt buffet" among these folks. Ugh.

"The likes of Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg, however, surely have that kind of money, yet they’re prostrating themselves before Trump. They aren’t stupid; they have to know what kind of person Trump is and understand — whether or not they admit it to themselves — the humiliating nature of their behavior. So why do they do it?

The answer, I believe, is that many (not all!) rich men are extraordinarily insecure."

The Pathetic Billionaires’ Club

How fuck-you money can become fuck-me money

Krugman wonks out

For now, my #activism will take a quieter tone. It will be focused on #creativity, #friendship and #community. I will focus on #buyless and #buylocal. We're planting a #garden and creating #safespace for and spending time with our friends, family and neighbors who are #LGBTQ and people of color.

I'll be writing the letters, sending the emails, making the phone calls and giving the donations. But it may be a minute before I get out and get loud again. For now, I'm keeping my people close.

@TindrasGrove thank you.

@MichelleAmaranth if it makes you feel any better it took a while before I felt remotely competent at warping my table loom.

(Biggest part was admitting that all the 20 steps that seem excessive when you’re used to rigid heddle are there for a reason)

On this day 25 years ago, The Matrix was released, and wearing sunglasses indoors was never the same again.

This photo is a couple years old but it was a special moment. We told #austinwildlufereacue that we had room for one more #quakerparrot the next day, the rescuer said she was transporting several babies through town. So we met with her. Alan and I got to sit and play with a bunch of baby birds. These guys all had their feathers and only needed hand feeding about once every 4 hours. We chose our bird, Temperance from among these little ones. Alan and I both love hand feeding baby #birds.

I love #weaving. My skills are pretty basic. I've mostly been weaving on #rigidheddle Now I'm learning how to weave on a #4shaftloom. I love #looms and #textilehistory.

This particular project is one of the first ones I've warped without help. Mistakes were made. We're on a break. So it sits in the middle of our tiny living room until I have the heart to go back and fix it, thread by thread. I'm happy to be learning so much from this project and yet, we're still on a break.
