The GOP is pushing the SAVE Act, to make elections 'more secure.’ How many wives took their husband's name in marriage?
How many of those have names that no longer match what's on their BIRTH CERTIFICATE?
Under SAVE, they will not be eligible to vote. MILLIONS of women will LOSE VOTING RIGHTS.

Someone said protests don’t belong in church and it took every ounce of self-censure within me not to say “Deborah you are literally a Protestant.”
A PROTESTant.
I assume they think Luther was nailing Bed, Bath, & Beyond coupons to the door.

Oh and here is my thought for today.
A haunting song with an applicable message. Listen again.
On the turning away
From the pale and downtrodden
And the words they say
Which we won't understand
Don't accept that what's happening
Is just a case of others' suffering
Or you'll find that you're joining in
The turning away
-Gilmour and Moore, Pink Floyd

Adventures in sprained ankle continue.
Day 13. HUGE advances. I'm walking without a limp (thus without pain), even thru a grocery store run.
Still working on range of motion without pain, but walking is normal. Stretches continue and the human body continues to amaze.

Use the good china!
I found fancy fountain pen inks dried out.
That expensive liquor oxidizes and changes flavor.
The lotion goes rancid.
Drink it, use it, don't save it for a brighter day. Find joy in your world. Grab Grandma's crystal for your morning juice. Don't wait. Life is short.

Anything creative is toxic to the regime.
It reminds us of our humanity and our connections to each other. If you're a creative, make MORE art or music or fashion in these difficult times. Pour your emotions into it and put it into the world. The arts are the lifeblood of humanity.

Y’all, elevation is amazing. Stayed off that ankle and kept it elevated all day. Slept with it propped up. This morning 90%+ of swelling is gone.
Still TBD how much it hurts when I start to use it, but I plan to keep off it and elevated again today.
Yay progress!

Good morning. I'd like to invite anyone who is interested to make a small gesture of kindness today. It's up to you to decide what that can be. The key is for you to act on the idea. With so much out of our control, we can choose how to be with each other today and every day.

YOU: Hi, my name is [NAME]. I’m calling from [ZIP CODE].
YOU: I’m calling [MOC] to demand they condemn the U.S.’s actions in Venezuela tonight. The Trump administration has carried out an illegal attack and capture of Maduro that is a clear violation of international sovereignty and will impact relationships will alienate international allies, and [ELECTED] must speak out about this.

2. Demand a legal written justification from the Administration,
3. Hold IMMEDIATE House/Senate Foreign Affairs hearings on the the decision-making, legality, and diplomatic risks of the Maduro operation,

Want an easy, low-effort New Years resolution that will actually have a tangible, exponentially positive impact on your life and your community? Resolve to start wearing a mask again in public in 2026.
Give a big Fuck You to the fascists who want to control you, the capitalists who want to exploit you, and the vultures who want to make money off your insecurities by ignoring the "Time to get working on your beach body!" bullshit and instead committing yourself to something that is 100% proven to actually improve your health by protecting yourself from catching and spreading respiratory illnesses.
2026 is going to be hard enough. There are a lot of things that are out of our control, and a lot of us feel pretty helpless. This is one thing you can do to take control of your health and actually protect your community. Make 2026 a little easier for yourself and everyone around you.

Finchy inspired me, so here are some 2025 books I read and suggest, as well as my numbers for the year.
63 books read. 12% non-fiction. This is kind of my standard. I always wish I'd read more non-fiction, but it takes longer and often bums me out. (Reality does, in fact, bite)

Just finished S1 of Pluribus. This is disturbing. Components ring very real from our early 2020 COVID lockdown, and parts of it seem very possible going forward. Entertaining? I suppose. A cautionary tale? Absolutely. It's like 1984, Fahrenheit 451, or A Brave New World. Consume with your eyes open.
