@janeakelley.bsky.social
Gen Xer, left of left of center, cat lover and cat blogger @Paws and Effect. AuDHD (formally diagnosed because privilege). Queer non-binary person who gives zero F's what you think about that. Owned by three cats: Bella Donna, Tara, and Wallace
My mother had congestive heart failure. Some of the symptoms: Swollen legs/ankles, shortness of breath, weird gray pallor.

The only reason Trumplestiltskin isn't obviously gray is because he puts 10 pounds of orange spackle on his face before he goes out in public.

I love #Maine. It's my soul home. I was born there, raised there, and spent the first four decades of my life there. This is not meant to be a slur against Mainers, but to be a reality check that not everyone in Maine lives in a quaint coastal town in an overpriced home.

Yes! People are proud of cruelty and pettiness in a way they've never been before. And people who call themselves Christians are saying empathy is a sin.

We're in a horrible bizarre world, and I hate it!

My internet rabbit hole led me to just what I needed today. Thanks, Joan Baez and Janis Ian, for recharging my hope batteries.

Jesus Christ! What sort of Machiavellian, sadistic bullshit is this?

Women really do have fewer rights than a corpse!
Reading the story about the woman in Georgia who is brain dead and on a vent but not allowed to die with dignity because she was 9 weeks pregnant when she was declared brain dead. Even in death, our bodies are not our own.

State-owned property.

I hope Greyhound also has this information available in Spanish, Creole, and the other top five or 10 languages spoken in the U.S.
Greyhound, I promise I will never talk smack about you ever again.

Bravo

The Seattle PD is at it again. This poor woman was terrorized by the cops because they had the wrong address.

If she were Black, she'd be dead right now. #acab

Would you watch a YouTube commentary channel where I dissected manipulative speeches, talks, ads, and other things and explained how this person is using manipulative tactics?

I lament about lack of critical thinking and would like to be part of the solution.

One of the most "fun" things about being a family on food stamps back in the day when it came in the form of coupons that looked like Monopoly money was the cashier giving you that "you're nothing but dog shit" look as you pay for your groceries.

"Rampant welfare fraud?"

You must think the government is as stupid as you are in order to believe the government does nothing to investigate and prosecute fraud.

You must think poor people are as unethical and criminally minded as you are if you think there's widespread fraud in this system.

The world hates Donold and Elon. Imagine being so despicable you piss off an entire planet. That used to only happen on Star Trek.

Want me to tell you the story about how a Jehovah's Witness tried to indoctrinate me into their joyless doomsday cult, at age 11, without my mother's knowledge or consent?

Oh, FedEx, you slay me.

I'm so delighted that I had to make a 1-hour round trip and pay $8 in tolls to pick up my package, which your delivery driver made three half-assed attempts to deliver (for values of "attempt" that include "leaving a tag with no identifying info").

Hmm, I can't possibly imagine why DOGE would be decimating the government agency charged with cybersecurity.

Oh wait, maybe it's the same reason Elon's neckbeard brigade has been downloading every piece of data about every American since about January 21 at 12:01 a.m.

It's not right vs left, it's top vs bottom....and anyone who makes less than 200k a year is a member of the proletariat in 21st century America.

The release of two years of anxiety about whether I'll be able to stay housed is, ironically, exhausting.

It's like I've been running on adrenaline and cortisol for so long that their absence has forced me to experience all the exhaustion I've been avoiding for years.

I read the original books. Looking back, they were a nonstop parade of misogyny, chauvinism, racial stereotypes, and totally unnecessary violence.

It's not surprising the movies are awful, given their source material.
this is true. i watched thunderball a little while ago and was struck by how terrible it was *from the jump*
one of my favorite running storylines in culture is that people treat JAMES BOND as a franchise full of classic, beloved movies that has only recently lost its way, when the reality is that literally almost every single movie in the history of the franchise sucks.

Good thing we don't have to worry about people dying of the measles anymore!

Oh, wait...
The U.S. has officially recorded its first measles death since 2015. Texas health officials have confirmed that an unvaccinated child has passed away from measles amid a massive outbreak that has impacted nine counties in West Texas.
