getting ready for Caturday over here

There's just this constant: "You must pretend that you are at a ladies' tea party even in the midst of a massacre, which is by the way your fault because you're not tea partying with enough daintiness and reserve. Doilies shall be thy only weapon against cannons." Fuck that. And hooray for Ossoff.

Even if I can enjoy the painting on its own, I appreciate the explanation. I am now so accustomed to alt text, I get fussy when it's not there (in addition to being sad/disappointed/tired that the poster does not know or does not care that it helps blind/low-vision readers)

Hi, I’m a sighted alt text user! Here are some reasons I use it: - Slow Internet on an airplane - I’m over 40, I have no idea who that celebrity is - Bluesky broke images again - My vision sucks and that text is too small to read otherwise - Conveys further context and authorial intent

Another one from poet Natalie Shapero: Quick Thinking. The volume this poem appears in, Stay Dead (2025) is generously peppered with Mark Rothko (and some other artists)

Had to do it…

Gerald is worn out from stalking the black cat who visits our yard earlier today to stalk voles. Exciting morning on the catio.

dreaming is free

mesmerizing

DJ grbge grrrl does not get all hung up on labels and if she wants to call a band riot grrrl she will people have the power

Yeah they’re both great programs

shoutout to DJ grbge grrrl 🫶🏻

I don’t know who needs to hear this but for this Sunday morning, anyway, Radio K has replaced the Pedal Pushers (shoegaze) program with Riot Grrrl Radio

PINK TAX at work

My nearest bus stop (half mile) doesn't operate at all on Sunday. The next nearest is a mile away. It's in the city, not boondocks.

They're SO smart. It's unseasonably warm here this weekend and the cats and I have been out on the catio watching them all morning. I'm spending a fortune on peanuts, but it's cheaper than Apple TV

anyway, the fact that we're unclear on what they're advocating for adds weight to your original observation about how slippery the org is

a vote for a Green in the governor's race is about the same as leaving it blank, but yeah (or as Naomi Kritzer put it, "if you vote for him, that is 100% a protest vote.")
