In this first post o’ mine, I’m relishing being in the cool kids group for the first time ever. I dig smart, witty folks and try to return the favor-sometimes I even succeed. Collaboration, support, and partnerships are my success languages, right along with irreverence and sarcasm. Because yep.

Delivered a load of donations today to a lovely family just arrived from Afghanistan who served us lunch in return. Goat, lamb, homemade bread and yogurt, rice, vegetables, fruit, juice, tea…I won’t need to eat again for at least 3 days.

Well gang,

Looks like we have to fight, and defeat, a compilation of history’s greatest evils all at once. Civil War, WW2, the Cold War, greed, racism, sexism, ignorance, fascism…hell is empty and all the demons are here.

Let’s fucking go.

Someone who knows more about art will have to tell me why this weird little abstract stopped me in my tracks and made me take a picture of it. I don’t understand it, but I trust it. #Art #abstractart #blueskyartists #Getty

Sweet Lilith (on the left) passed over the Rainbow Bridge today. She purred right up to the end. Her sister Eve (on the right) was at her side constantly in the end, even putting her paw over Lilith as she slept. I’m going to miss her terribly.

It’s such a hollow victory to say WE FKING TOLD YOU SO
Republican leaders now openly associate with neo-Nazis. It is getting harder and harder to draw any distinctions between the groups, not because Democrats wish for it to be so but because Republicans do.
"Experts...said the lineup is particularly concerning because it brings together more mainstream conservative speakers with fringe figures who have close links to neo-Nazis & other far-right extremists."

Musk is Lex Luthor minus the ethics
Just going to say again, as a Musk biographer, that you cannot possibly contemplate what a bad person he is. You probably think you have an idea... but you do not have an idea.
Democrats want feds to probe Elon Musk's alleged contact with Putin, Musk says he wants to "nuke" those making accusations

Happy Transgender Awareness Week! 🌈
The first known use of singular “they” is so old that not only does it pre-date singular “you,” it wasn’t even spelled with a “th”

When William and the Werewolf, in 1375 CE, used singular “they,” it was spelled with a Thorn

Agreed 100%.
An absolute no brainer for DNC chair is @benwikler.bsky.social . Thanks to what Ben built at WisDems, when the country swung ~6 points to the right this cycle, Wisconsin only swung 1.5 points to the right, while actually *adding* seats in the state legislature and holding onto Tammy Baldwin's seat.

It wasn’t a landslide. It wasn’t a landslide. It wasn’t a landslide. It wasn’t a landslide. It wasn’t a landslide. It wasn’t landslide.

I just exhaled after 2 weeks. We’re still in a shithole position, but they had to cheat to win. There are more good people out there than we were led to believe.
It was a 49% to 48% election.

Fascism won by a hair.

And it took Russian and MAGA bomb threats, a hoax regarding battleground-state police raids, an illegal Musk-funded lottery, $600M given to Trump by just 15 people, Netanyahu meddling in our politics, and Democrats staying home for it to happen.

I’m having a very hard time accepting those who decided not to vote or voted for Don because of the situation in Gaza. Here’s the crazy thing: Trump let his son in law negotiate the Abraham Accord which completely eliminated Sunni Muslims from the conversation, silencing their needs,

This is chilling. In September, as Elon Musk began buying Trump a presidency after Trump promised him a federal department he could use to destroy his enemies, Trump agents at the Heritage Foundation began filing FOIA requests to find anyone in government who had ever mentioned Musk in any document.

Blocking Nazis, trolls, and fascists doesn’t make it an “echo chamber.” People need to stop gaslighting us into thinking we have to listen to Nazis and debate trolls in order to be informed.

I have to include the revenge voters who didn’t like Biden’s response to Gaza and somehow engineered the idea that DT would be a better choice to help Muslims.

Yep, the same guy who instituted a ban on Muslim travel in 2017 and has promised to do it AGAIN is going to help the Palestinians.
Good morning and Happy Friday to everyone who is ready to break open a huge pack of "I FUCKING TOLD YOU SO" to the selfish assholes who insisted on electing an authoritarian convicted felon with dementia because eggs weren't cheap enough.
