I used to make websites. I wrote “Design for Community.” I designed the original Blogger. I created JPG Magazine, Fray, Kvetch, Cute-Fight, and more.

Now I grow flowers and turn them into CBD products for https://milkbarn.farm. I take care of 30-something chickens, 13 goats, 3 dogs, 2 cats, and my wife and myself in Boring, Oregon.

Nazis, TERFs, and Republicans can fuck off. Do not explain capitalism to me.

He/him.

I was having fun prepping my pepper plants for planting today and Heather captured the moment of botanical joy.

Let’s rephrase this JFK Jr brain worm story:

Known liar and conspiracy theorist claimed “a doctor” said he had a brain worm in an attempt to hold on to his fortune during a divorce proceeding even though he was born rich.

Less funny, more accurate.

@WillA763 we know he’s a liar and that’s all we need to know

@RinostarGames The real fake news is that he has a brain at all

Overwhelmed by the world, today I plunged my hands into the soil.

It helped.

Trump, facing consequences for the first time in his life, goes back to the old troll classic: posting and deleting. This case has already determined (correctly) that retweets are actually speech, will the judge be smart enough to see this for what it is: sending out inflammatory messaging, trusting the troll army to capture and reproduce it, and then deleting it to avoid punishment? We'll find out soon.

Really fucking annoying that the far right explains what’s happening in Israel as Jews controlling Biden and the far left explains it as Biden being controlled by Jews. It’s all just antisemitism.

And neither side will acknowledge reality: Bibi is an insane war criminal. Israel is not an American colony, it’s a nation that Biden has no control of. It’s completely arrogant and wrong to think either man can control what the other does, or that the Jewish people have any say over any of it.

@garbados If you haven't bumped into antisemitism of the "Jews secretly control the world" variety on the left, I'm happy for you, but I have. A lot.

@garbados Everyone raised in America has absorbed some amount of unconscious antisemitism. Some people just haven't noticed yet.

@garbados I've been called worse. Today.

@garbados If you really haven't seen "Israel is controlling the US" from lefties, then yeah, you probably are.

@fraying@xoxo.zone avatar

If you read this as a leftie and feel defensive, I'm only asking you to not be antisemitic when you criticize Israel. That's it. You can do it. I know you can. If I can do it as a Jewish leftie, you can fucking handle it. And if you can't, that's a you problem, and I don't need to hear about it. Thanks.

Quite the mind fuck being an American Jew and descendant of Holocaust survivors right now, as nazis and republicans call Jewish protesters “antisemitic.” I don’t blame anyone for being confused by it all. Just know that your Jewish friends have been angry about it for a long time. And remember that anyone claiming to speak for all Jews probably isn’t.

We have long watched as the worst people use us as an excuse to enact their power fantasies. Please don’t believe them when they do.

@darkandandstormy Yup! But please don’t use that site. They pay nazis.
