Tim Walz Took Historic Action To Protect Trans People, Now He’s The Dem VP Choice


Erin Reed at Erin In The Morning:


On Tuesday, Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris announced that her pick for Vice President is Tim Walz, the governor of Minnesota. In recent years, as trans and queer people have come under attack from over a thousand proposed bills, Walz is expected to serve as a source of optimism for LGBTQ+ people. The governor’s long track record on LGBTQ+ rights ...

So, I really love the selection of Tim Walz for VP and it’s taken me a moment to articulate why. I mean, obviously, Dem bonafides, he’s sharp, he’s funny, etc etc. But everyone in the Veepstakes fits that bill, Harris was spoiled for good choices.


But Walz offers something that the other men in contention don’t that I think will be incredibly useful in combating Trumpism.


He offers an example and an off ramp to the section of men who felt like they were Republicans by default, and so supp...

Columbo and Jessica Fletcher patterns by Mrs Peggotty Arts– she’s also got loads of book characters…

mathysphere:


A cross-stitch pattern of Columbo from the show of the same name. He is a middle-aged white man with short brown curly hair, smile lines, a white button-up shirt with a loosely-tied black tie, and a tan trench coat. He is smiling, eyes closed, while tapping his forehead and holding a cigar. The style is a full-coverage adaptation of a semi-realistic illustration with an art deco border. ALTA cross-stitch pattern of Jessica Fletcher from Murder, She Wrote. She is an old woman with short blonde wavy hair, round cheeks, and piercing blue eyes. She is wearing a teal button-up shirt, a black vest, and a pink neck scarf. Jessica is holding up a steaming tea cup, and looks at the viewer with a knowing expression and a small smile. The style is a full-coverage adaptation of a semi-realistic illustration with an art deco border. ALT

Columbo and Jessica Fletcher patterns by Mrs Peggotty Arts– she’s also got loads of book characters (Ms. Marple, Jo March, Captain Nemo) as both cross-stitch patterns and coloring pages

Old bearded man with a monocle, looking in astonishment at a mushroom. Old bearded man, smiling, leaning on his side with a basket of mushrooms on his knee. Old bearded man presenting a mushroom from his basket and smiling. Old bearded man, holding aloft two mushrooms and smiling. Old bearded man squatting on the forest floor, holding a mushroom aloft and smiling. Old bearded man holding a mushroom in one hand and a basket of mushrooms in another, caught in a sun shower. Old bearded man waving at the camera and holding a basket of mushrooms.

Oh to be the man in these stock photos…



You guys are totally missing the best pictures from actual mycologists




All That the Rain Promises and More! I have this book and I love it. It’s so full of joyful pictures of people and mushrooms:


A smiling man eating mushroom soup. A smiling man holding fly amanita mushrooms and wearing a fly amanita hat. below, a woman in a fly amanita hat. A bearded man on the forest floor, about to grasp a mushroom. A smiling man holding two bolete mushrooms. A man looking contemplative, wearing a headband with two mushrooms positioned in it like antlers. A smiling man sniffing a mushroom, a man and a woman grilling mushrooms, and two photos of a man with glasses surrounded by mushrooms. A woman with glasses, holding a large mushroom that obscures the bottom half of her face. A man leaning against a tree with shelf fungus growing on the trunk.

Honestly mycologists are just like this™

Honestly, talking to our hallucinations is hilarious.


There’s a weird figure in the dark? Dude, get off of my lawn. Go home.


We see a cat for a split second but it was never there? There goes the extradimensional cat, that’s a good kitty.


We see bugs that aren’t real? Besties you really gotta start paying rent to be in here!


There’s weird figures darting around the corners of our vision, never clear enough to be seen? Sorry we looked at you, I totally get social anxiety!
