my cat does this thing where she *meows* and then forgets to tuck her tongue back in. &quot;Your blep is out!&quot; I say to her but she just looks at me like I&#39;m a dumbass and of course she meant to do that.

a friend reminded me that I wrote about my journey to becoming first a #hopepunk writer, then a #solarpunk one... I blogged through that in 2020 (a fraught time when hopepunk seemed more audacious than usual, not unlike now) but revised/repubbed in 2022: https://susankayequinn.com/2022/04/a-brief-history-of-hopepunk-2.html

Science & liberation, of people (esp women, POC, queer folk) & of minds (valuing knowledge for knowledge's sake), has unlocked a lot of prosperity in the world... and has threatened the grip of white men and colonialism. And so they will burn it all down. https://paulkrugman.substack.com/p/the-fire-this-time

another day, another scam email impersonating a real publisher... but check out the amazing brilliance of this signature. Yes, I definitely want an editor who signs their name like a haunted 3yo! And that picture could be taken from Obsession... 🤣

yes and... it was part of a two-century long effort to terrorize ALL women into accepting patriarchy and dependency on men in the new industrial era Sure, they made an example of the wealthy independent ones. "There's no escape for any of you" is a pretty powerful message. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2026/jul/26/women-witchcraft-financial-independence

this is me 100% I'm a linguistic chameleon I literally did it today with a woman I was chatting with while picking up moving boxes -- she had a strong southern accent, not sure which one, but it I had to consciously stop myself from drawling. When I spent a month in Canada, it was VERY hard. I did come back from Canada with the ability to do a reasonable Canadian accent now (more Ontario-ish, but not w/the French touches, so Southern Ontario-ish) at least enough to wow my fellow American...
