Liberal political junkie who enjoys fiber arts and painting rocks. Heledd in the SCA (Northshield). Small blue dot in the sea of red that's South Dakota. Old woman who mostly yells at the TV. No clue why some of the people following me are doing so.

A bright almost full moon is surrounded by a perfect circle of a ring. Some thin wispy clouds give a smear effect across the night sky. A single star shows just outside the ring in the top left above the moon. Unfortunately the photo shows the edge of my apartment building on the left side, otherwise it would be a perfect picture of the night sky.
Four panel comic strip from pizzacakecomic on patreon: 1st panel: A brunette woman in a green shirt is being yelled at by an angry person wearing a grey T-shirt whose head is simply a white circle with sketched in features: "Why do you block people? Why won't you DEBATE? Are you SCARED??" 2nd panel: White Circle-head continues to pontificate until cut off: "I deserve an argument abou-" 3rd panel: Woman grabs Circle-head by the T-shirt with both hands yanking him sharply forward and off-balance. (Panel text simply reads *GRAB*) 4th panel: Pissed off woman, now looming over off-balance Circle-head who she is holding up by his shirt: "I don't owe you an audience for your annoying bullshit"
Bright full moon in a break between clouds with the top of a hill and treeline below and houselights underneath that.
Full Moon emerging behind a curved cloudbank with separate clouds curving below it. A sparse handful of city streetlights and lights outside houses pierce the darkness below. Photo is in stark black and white, showing the moon and electric lights below shining brightly white with a lot of pitch black surrounding them.
(from an X (Twitter) user rohit (@krishnanrohit) "This might be the first large-scale application of AI technology to geopolitics.. 4o, o3 high, Gemini 2.5 pro, Claude 3.7, Grok all give the same answer to the question on how to impose tariffs easily." (Followed up by screenshots of various AI answers, which I apologize for not typing out, but I'm on my phone and the screenshot text is too small to read without exiting alt text. But suffice it to say they all have similar answers giving a quick and dirty way to figure out what to use. My understanding is this is not the way experts would make official policy and it can give bad results.)
Photo of the lunar eclipse on my crappy phone camera. It shows a small bright dot as the moon is peeking through a clear space between clouds.
A small red dot surrounded by darkness which is actually a rather bad picture of the moon during the lunar eclipse taken with a rather crappy phone camera.
A drawing of Smokey the Bear in his classic U.S. Forest Service park ranger hat leaning on a shovel. The text reads: Only you can prevent forest fires Seriously. We've been defunded. It's just you now.
Calvin, a young boy in a blue coat and red hat, walks through a snow-covered landscape, talking to Hobbes, a tiger who sometimes appears as a stuffed toy but who more often appears as he does now, as a friendly tiger walking upright on two feet. He's smiling and has a red scarf around his neck against the winter cold. Calvin is saying, "DEI initiatives were not put in place to ensure lower-quality minorities could get hired instead of more highly-qualified white people. It was put in place to ensure lower-qualified white people were not hired instead of more highly-qualified minorities."
Six homemade walking staffs leaning in a jumble against a white door in an unfinished basement. Some are taller, some shorter. Some are very straight, others have interesting wavy lines. All have been sanded smooth, stained, and then finished with glossy spar varnish.

A 4-panel cartoon of a man getting told off by a woman. Woman looks less and less impressed as she gets in his face while man leans farther and farther back while looking more and more shocked at being called out on his B.S. (Capitalized words are what was in boldface type in the text.) 1st panel: Man says, "Your body, my choice." 2nd panel: Woman says, "This is the most SELF-C*CKBLOCKING slogan in the history of slogans." 3rd panel: Woman continues, "Your desire to CONTROL OUR BODIES because you can't get LAID without COERCION is straight-up PATHETIC." 4th panel: Woman continues, "The Fascist PODCASTERS who told you that other people's BODILY AUTONOMY was a threat to your MASCULINITY forgot to mention how WEAK it makes you look."
A hand holds a twisted flat computer cable showing the plug ends.
The people who called us "the enemy from within living among us like vermin" seem very eager to post "we can disagree and be friends" shit now, like an abusive boyfriend after breaking a hole in the drywall.
Six long wooden walking staffs leaning against a wooden stoop railing. They are drying after having stain applied.
The top panel of the meme shows Mal, captain of the Firefly spaceship, standing in a beige shirt and overalls in front of an off-white wall held up by black struts, saying, "May have been on the losing side." The bottom panel, which matches the top picture, shows Mal saying, "Still not convinced it was the wrong one." (From the short-lived but fan loved tv series "Firefly".)
A mixed pile of white with black stripes teardrop-shaped earring things that have had gold glitter, silver glitter, and prismatic glitter attached to them with the embossing powder that is usually used with rubber stamps.
White with a black stripe teardrop-shaped earring thingies. They are about an inch and a half wide and two and a quarter long, and are meant to look like printed leather, but they are some sort of plastic instead. And I have over 50 of them.
Three little orange candy pumpkins. Two are short, about half-sized, meaning the mold didn't get filled completely, the other was overfilled and so has extra attached at either side, giving the impression of wings.
Two posts that argue refusing to order from Amazon during the workers' strike does more to favor Amazon than it does for the workers. It allows Amazon to manage to fulfill orders in spite of the strike due to lower volume of orders, rather than highlight the employees' essential work that lets these orders be fulfilled in a timely manner. More succinctly, it allows Amazon to get away with saying "We did just fine without these workers, so why should we listen to their demands?"
Half of a painted broken rock lying face down on a blue pillow. Only the unpainted side shows except for a tiny bit of white along the left side.
Post that reads: The Council of Elrond is the "follow up meeting" where the client acts baffled that all the stuff you said would bite them in the arse, did. MORTALS: This ring of power didn't work the way we wanted. ELROND: Worked the way I told you it would. Mordor is that way. Have fun. Remember, the only elf that volunteers to join the Fellowship on the Second Mordor Project is the one who wasn't around for the first one.
Cartoon drawing of a very angry, sweating Donald Trump. His cartoon bubbles in the first two panels say "I decide what is TRUTH! I ALONE control what you CAN SAY & HEAR!" "Listen ONLY to ME! OBEY ME! LOVE ME!" In the third panel a calm National Park ranger sits facing a laptop at a desk labeled BAD(ass)LANDS. The ranger's speech bubble reads "Nope." as the ranger clicks a button on the laptop to tweet. At the side of the desk is a garbage can labeled "Trump File" and filled with crumpled papers. Cartoon is by DWitt and dated 1-25-17.
Two cartoon stick figure people in the middle say "Can't we just all be friends?" On their left stands a figure of a person of color along with one wearing an LBGTQ rainbow flag shirt and one in a trans flag outfit. On their right stands a stick figure with a rifle wearing a MAGA hat and confederate flag shirt, along with one in a KKK white hood and sheet and another dressed as a police officer. Text above all these reads "Stop saying this" and below more text says "The answer is 'fuck no' ... and learn about the paradox of tolerance".
A gray tabby cat with green eyes sits happily chilling, perched on the back and shoulder of a gray-haired woman in a gray sweater who is carefully leaning over against a wooden table so as not to disturb the cat.
