i’m obsessed with this painting called tomato king and i’m even more obsessed with the man who drew it. his name is stuart dunkel and he is a classical oboeist and he also paints tiny little oil paintings of mice living their best lives. he looks like this.

HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Senate voted unanimously to make Juneteenth a national holiday.

That means EVERY republican senator voted to make Juneteenth a national holiday. NONE of them objected. That includes the most racist of them. So that shows you what an empty gesture it is, because the likes of Mitch McConnell and Ted Cruz were like "*shrug* why not?"

They're trying to wipe Critical Race Theory and the 1619 Project clean from the curriculum and go back to pretending slavery never happened or wasn't "that bad" and of course go back to pretending racism is over and denying systemic racism exists. That is the current news wave. That is trending, pressing, news.

And in the midst of that they go "sure, let's make the day that literally marks the end of slavery a day of recognition" because it doesn't mean shit.

Now, Juneteenth should be a national holiday and this would be great news if it came with approval of Critical Race Theory and MAYBE if they also passed the goddamn Voting Rights Act and stopped implementing Jim Crow era-type suppressive voting laws in a different state every month.

There's no action behind it. It's empty. It's useless.

Oh my god, this entire post. I’ve been unable to articulate my feelings about country and this fucking nails it!

Everyone may *think* they hate country music, but when Jolene, Before He Cheats, Take Me Home Country Roads, or Life is a Highway comes on, everyone is suddenly a liar.

23. If Susan Dennard were to write another novella, who would you want it to be about?

I would kill for a continuation of Ragnor and Eridysi’s story, picking up after they wake from the sleep. I am a huge sucker for these two and have reread Sightwitch more times than any other book in the series. I’m also really interested in Nomatsi culture, and reading about Rangor, Eridysi, and baby Aeduan settling into a clan would be a dream come true.

Also, Ryber bc Rybie Ry is my baby and I want to know how she found Kullen and helped him unbury his memories.

(really I just want Sooz to write about everything and anyone in the Witchlands forever and ever. and if not forever, at least a little while longer after the main series ends.)
