Stephen King is my talisman. Joe Hill is my dream man. All I really want in life is to read books and smell the rain. Listen to your better angels. Down at Puget Sound, in the shadow of a volcano.

This is my 95-year-old neighbor. He's been living alone since his wife passed away from cancer, and not long ago, he also lost his loyal companion dog. Now, every day, our chicken Hei Hei escapes the yard just to visit him. She sits with him, accepts treats, and lets him pet her like an old

BREAKING: The Pentagon has authorized up to 600 military lawyers to serve as temporary immigration judges. This is a blatant expansion of military power into a civilian judicial process, a dangerous erosion of the separation between the two. Every day, we inch closer to fascism.
That’s the spirit!

RIP Graham Greene, Grammy Nominated Canadian actor who peacefully passed away today at 73 in Stratford, Ontario. A cinematic legend who owned every role and recent recipient of the Order of Canada. Rest well! 😭

We strengthened prevailing wage protections for workers on public projects. We’re going to keep fighting for Washington’s workers. Happy Labor Day!

Don't have to tell me twice!!
This is one of the best books I've read in a long time. @joannapocock.bsky.social hits the nail on the head in her depiction of our digital era American moment. I'm a longtime fan of the road trip memoir; this one is an instant classic. And this @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social copy looks gorgeous.
So this is pretty wild. I've just learned that the Spanish edition of SCANLINES has been nominated for an Ignotus Award in the category of best foreign novella! What an honor! Many thanks to my Spanish readers! www.asociacionportico.com/finalistas-d...

Growing up, we had family friends I loved beyond measure. They were - and remained- amazing people. Parents and kids alike. After my parents passed I saw they had agreed to be the legal guardians of me and my sibling. Sat with those feelings a long long time. I'm sure you can imagine what they were.
There is no shortcut to trauma healing. Believe me, I've looked under every rock for it. Designing a new life & reshaping our nervous & endocrine systems takes exactly the time it takes. Working our recovery w/ consistency, intentionality, & self-compassion IS the "shortcut."
When trees are injured or diseased, some trees leak sap to seal/heal the wound.

Just nabbed a good streaming deal ( AMC+ which includes Shudder, plus MGM+ ) so I can watch The Institute. I am practicing delayed gratification and borderline unbearable anticipation as I wait for evening so I can begin this journey!
You only *think* that's a dryer! Haven't you ever noticed you can set the timer to 1982? Where had you thought those socks are off to?

Television legend Stephen Colbert has just signed a $13.5 million deal with Netflix for a 7-episode series.

Kennedy’s comments drew backlash from Democratic lawmakers. Minnesota Senator Tina Smith wrote on social media, “I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.”
I ❤️ my library!

Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond. Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around. Get involved with the @democraticredistricting.com as they fight back: bit.ly/3HJ1ayW
Canadians have HEART! So much heart: Before Wednesday night's game in Toronto between their Blue Jays vs our Minnesota Twins, the whole stadium, (42,000+), observed a moment of silence for the victims of the mass shooting at Annunciation Church and School in south Minneapolis. Thank you Canada!

Sen. Joni "We're All Going to Die" Ernst saw her own poll numbers and the special election victory for Dems this week and opted to pull the ejection seat handle.

One of the possible reasons is physical inactivity, so if you have a desk job or you stand for your shift, you qualify.

Thought I’d share a commission for a tattoo, I did a couple of years ago. We talked about what the patron would like & I came back with the idea. She liked robins too. Can you spot the pre-historic triskel? Rowan trees are planted to protect homes in Irish tradition. I loved working on it!

The mental health benefits of not knowing any history right now must be massive. Moving through your day with total equanimity. What happens next? Who knows? Maybe something good

Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."
My heart breaks into 10,000 pieces once again.
Constituent: You talked about abuses in the medicare and medicaid system and I found interesting that the president pardoned someone that defrauded the medicaid system for $1.3 billion
it's a pretty one:
Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users. While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

NEWS: DNC Chair Ken Martin says TX State Rep. Nicole Collier was threatened with a FELONY charge for speaking on a press call with him, Cory Booker, and Gavin Newsom.
Newsom: I mean, even poor Kid Rock — these guys, they’ve gotten a little precious, haven’t they? The folks at Fox are like, “Oh, this is so unbecoming of a governor. Oh, oh.” And meanwhile, they sit there reading his tweets every single day. Are they really that out of touch?

🧵 William Leech (1881-1968) was an Irish painter. He was a Post Impressionist who painted light & colour. Unknown outside of Ireland his pictures are a delight for the eye. Let’s take a look at an artist that pleases the eye! [1]

ICYMI: Bad Hand founder Doug Murano chatted with @forbes.com about THE END TIMES by @benjaminpercy.bsky.social with Stephen King. Read the in-depth interview. www.forbes.com/sites/joshwe...
EXCLUSIVE: Gov. Gavin Newsom’s California redistricting proposal has a 22-point polling advantage, according to an internal memo from Newsom’s pollster obtained by Axios.
Trees communicate with each other. Everything is connected. Everything.
We asked Stephen King what it felt like to have other authors expand on his original story. “It feels really good. I mean I think it’s nice that they care enough to do that and that they remember the book and carry it to another generation. So, I think that’s great,” said King
