A Monarch butterfly resting on a cattail reed. Monarch butterflies typically live two to six weeks, with the exception of this current generation called the "super generation," which migrates and lives eight to nine months. Safe travels you beautiful creature
The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans. And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.

Mountain trolls are the biggest creatures in Norwegian folklore. They dwell inside mountains in their own realms, where they hoard gold and gemstones. If they are exposed to sunlight they turn into rock, and legend has it that many mountains in Norway are former trolls. 🎨 Martina Ehrenborg

Time to do my weekly passing of the campaign hat. If you can donate something, regardless of how much, it’ll really help. If you’ve already donated something, you’re awesome! If you can’t donate, you can still sign up to get email updates for what the campaign will be doing. Have a great Labor Day!
I hope you feel better soon! Good luck on both tasks!

I might have to check it out. We currently having huge discussions about humour as form of resistance here. Seeing that absurdity in action really is a completely different experience. Kind of mind blowing.
The fairy hound Failinis fought beside Lugh, a gift from his foster father Manannan mac Lir. Failinis was invincible in battle, always caught his prey each time, and most handily, could turn water into wine. #FolkyFriday 🖼: perorate
This seems right. Lots of awesome canine mythos today in #FolkyFriday
While the Greeks thought belief in Elpis, the embodiment of hope, was delusional at best, the Romans were much more optimistic about Spes. Good Hope, as they called her, marked coins and buildings, and was invoked for a better future. #mythology #hope 😉
Practice before getting to real artwork.
In autumn she is Sharada, the goddess of that season: Saraswati prefers this season, the goddess of learning blessing it in India and beyond. It is a time for music, for speech, for learning and art and create but also to regenerate and grow. #FolkloreSunday 🖼: R.R. Varma
Brigid is popularly seen in relation to the Cailleach, as the two Gaelic deities of summer and winter, respectively, with spring and autumn being the transition between the two. As autumn falls, Brigid wears her cloak in preparation of winter. #FolkloreSunday 🖼️: S.E. Parkinson
I really love modern tales spun from this myth.
In the Eleusinian Mysteries the cycle begins in fall: as Persephone descends into the Underworld, so begins Demeter's despair. Autumn represents the beginning of sorrow, Demeter's loss and grief, and Persephone's grace and mercy. #FolkloreSunday 🖼: E. de Morgan
While the Three Sisters of squash, beans, and maize are grown year-round, the summer-autumn harvest was and is the most substantial of these to prepare indigenous Americans for winter. These crops remain staples even in Thanksgiving, and gourds to Halloween. #FolkloreSunday

Every year the Merlins visit us, and this was the last time I saw the couple that nested nearby. Each year we have a nest close to us, and just hearing them every day makes me happy. I look forward to seeing them again next year. #birds #raptors 🪶

No, I don't think it's a strange to include pictures of yourself in your home. I think, women in general, are excluded too often from the photographic record. It's nice for family and friends to actually have access to photographs of you. Photography provides a unique medium for storytelling.
I am glad you are enjoying your show. I hope things are going better overall.

It's going to get harder and harder to get covid shots. However, if you're in Pittsburgh, PA, and want one, the CVS at 3422 Forbes Ave is still doing them. You might want to call first to make sure that CVS HQ hasn't stopped or that the location hasn't run out of vaccine. 412-687-4181
Chatbots killing their users suggests that big tech has transitioned from simple parasite to parasitoid, indicating that keeping the host alive is no longer essential for their evolutionary strategy

It’s $5 Friday! We saved two pups from AL this week! Both on the euthanasia list for space. Their eyes haunted us…asking why? Good pups that matter. They are both safe at our vet. Bishop needs heartworm treatment & Tara needs spay & vaccinations. ♥️ www.rescuecoop.org/donate
Pals! We also saved Tara from Alabama! Because well…look at those puppy eyes. This shelter has a very high kill rate. Not TaDay Miss Tara!!! Tara needs basic vet care if you’d like ta help ♥️ www.rescuecoop.org/donate

I've been putting so much work into bespoke interactive elements in the level and yet "big cylinder that turns around you're meant to climb on" remains a perennial winner
Every time your electricity bill goes up for the next 10 years, it can be traced back to this Administration’s actions. They are making solar and wind power illegal to build in the United States. They are artificially restricting supply while demand is going up.
Awesome! Did you have coffee or coco with them?
There is a podcast called,"It Could Happen Here." Maybe it can help you, somehow. Two of the journalists are trans: Mia Wong and Gare Davis. There is a new episode about the shooter.

Told with a straight face by my Old boss that I wasn’t as good a writer as the last one so I’d be paid slightly less. The implication at the time was ‘hustle and you’ll get more’ What we all got was laid off inside 18 months
RFK Jr. taps his top deputy, Jim O’Neill, to be the new CDC director. Both men appear to wear skinny ties from Otaa. Otaa's ties are made in China from microfiber, a kind of plastic that, under the right conditions, can migrate to your balls.
I may double things up at some point but this is what i was actually working on
Stunning! The light source and deep shadows makes me feel, as if I am watching a play and everybody just suddenly froze.

the thing that's so fucking infuriating about this is how much more that matters for the bottom 10% $1200 can be life or death at that level of income top 10%? $13K is nice, to be sure, but it's "maybe we'll take another vacation" nice not "oh good now we can afford to eat this month"
Now is a good time to resurrect this: share.google/u4g2TLDeN93f...
People need to understand just how openly genocidal the rhetoric on the far right is getting towards transgender people. They're openly talking about eradicating us and forcefully mass institutionalizing all trans people. These are people with direct ties to the Trump administration.
Going back offline for more #DragonCon prep (my convention schedule is here on my feed), this HAUNTED HISTORY OF INVISIBLE WOMEN sale is nearly over, I'm so excited about the DEAD RINGER book deal I was just able to announce, and I appreciate all of you. Take care of one another, we're all we have.

Macon Blair’s THE TOXIC AVENGER is set to mop up at least $5 million in crushing medical costs thanks to an inspiring new partnership between Cineverse and national nonprofit Undue Medical Debt.
Don’t threaten me with a good time
This is a cashout, plain and simple, and SoftBank is "committing to invest $1bn" in it at a $500bn valuation, a transparent attempt to boost the value of their already-purhased stock. Surely this is not what you do if you believe in the long-term health of your company/that you'll IPO?
Maybe we shouldn’t let someone who doesn’t believe in germs and who thinks it’s okay to eat roadkill and swim in contaminated ponds be in charge of our national food safety.
We don’t get many colorful birds where I live, but this one is unique.
A woman’s right to vote, inviolable for 105 years, right? Reminder, 2016 Republican Convention Speaker Abby Johnson, supported Household Voting w/the one household vote belonging to men. The same Christian Nationalist agenda is supported by Hegseth. But hey, like Roe, that won’t ever change, right?

No kings. No lords. No standing armies in our streets.
“For what, then, is this force [of a standing army in peace time] maintained, except for the purpose of subverting our laws and establishing that arbitrary power which is so justly abhorred by Englishmen?” - Charles Mordaunt, 3rd Earl of Peterborough, 1685
There’s a lot of anger about the Test Act dispensations to be clear. But we’ve a long tradition inherited from England and calcified in the early Republic that warns against standing armies. This is one time where we should really think about our Anglo-American constitutional traditions and origins.
I am excited for your book!
My ancestors fought against this tyranny and now we are saddled with an unstable king.
Our slide into authoritarian rule would not be possible without Trump's willing accomplices. William Pulte's corruption of the bureaucracy to single out the mortgages of Trump foes like Lisa Cook for "investigation" is the perfect example of this. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1996...

Online age verification is not like "showing ID to buy alcohol" because a) the liquor store doesn't get to scan your ID and store a digital copy of it forever in a database that will inevitably get hacked b) you don't have to show ID to go to the library because they have cocktail recipe books
