I don't know, weird anxiety-ridden old-ish lady who hates fascists but loves books, embroidery, tea, glitter, cats, turquoise, and chocolate.

I was going to eat 3 pieces of pizza but showed some self control and only had 2. I could have survived on just 1, but at this point what are we living for if not for pizza?

The people who voted for Trump so he would overturn Obamacare but didn't know that's the same as the ACA: All I can say is FFS. You get what you vote for, eejits.

Remember: fascism thrives on apathy.
The autocrats want you to tune out. They want to overwhelm you. They want you to give up.
Don’t give them want they want.
Stay in this fight. Remain vigilant. And let’s keep building.

I remember that one time I applied for a teaching position, and they wanted to do a background check? I said, “Nah, my buddy can vouch for me. Besides, if there is something sketchy in my background, I won’t tell you about it anyway.” Admin: Cool, cool. 🤦🏽♀️ #cabinetappointments #facistregime

People, what the hell are you thinking? I lived through these times. Measles blinded classmates, mumps made many sterile, polo killed, maimed, and brutally put kids in iron lungs FOR LIFE! Contract German measles during the first 3 months of pregnancy and give birth to a child with no arms or worse.

Bluesky blowing up with new people is bittersweet because on the one hand, yay a new place to have fun! But on the other hand it’s like, wow there really is an awful lot of Nazis that drove us here.

RFK has placed himself on the most extreme lunatic fringe of anti-science primitivism, complete with analogies to Nazi death camps, and total disregard for scientific results that go against his own primitivist notions and paranoid conspiracy theories.

Yes! I hope people don't believe polio has just gone away. This is dangerous stuff. Children used to have to have various important vaccines before they could go to school. Will that rule be dumped by the wayside, too?
