    😱tonight Bambi jumped into the road, far ahead of me but there&amp;#39;s a GIANT pickup truck coming, taller than she is, she jumps back,but now *directly in my path*... sees my car then jumps again, but this time *over the hood of the massive truck* and then somehow survives to scamper off into the woods😱

    people *really* don&amp;#39;t understand the change part of #climatechange or that we&amp;#39;re constantly surprised by *what the changes are* despite having studied this my entire adult life the earth is a massively complex system that we depend upon for life and we are FUCKING WITH IT seems bad

    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

    this en-plein-air solarpunk painting class is super cool (the artist is connected to an anthology I&amp;#39;m writing for) and if I were in Northern California, I would totally go! https://cabrillo.augusoft.net/connect/ClassInfo/ClassInformation

    Science &amp; liberation, of people (esp women, POC, queer folk) &amp; of minds (valuing knowledge for knowledge&#39;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. &quot;There&#39;s no escape for any of you&quot; is a pretty powerful message. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2026/jul/26/women-witchcraft-financial-independence

    this is me 100% I&#39;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...
