not to bring the vibe down, but my guess is that after tonight Trump will probably double down on gerrymandering, voter suppression, and intimidation as tactics to disincentivize Dem turnout ahead of next year‘s midterms. (with margins like these, it won’t matter, but it’s a time to be vigilant)

Okay, I have The Baby's Halloween video uploading, but I'm also doing the work around version if bluesky takes too long or thinks the file is still too big. Work around says about 25 minutes.

Hold on, the file's too big...

Ugh, this audio editing is killing meeeeeeeeee. All the video clips are in the editor and audio is 50% done. I have to finish that and then it's transitions and title cards. I have to break for dinner, but I'm gonna aim for 9pm Central standard time for upload. 🤞 Baby was mostly well behaved 👀

Here's my second place entry from the Halloween baking contest (it's supposed to be a zombie brain)

Flavors are orange, pistachio, and blackberry with cardamom and anise.

The smol human is here this weekend, so Halloween photo session with The Baby won't even take place until tomorrow.

She appreciates your patience. In the meantime, here she is partially dressed up to wish a friend happy birthday.

You can't even buy a hot rotisserie chicken from a grocery store with SNAP, ZERO nail or hair salons can take funds from an EBT card you racist shitburgers.
Ron Johnson is a lying treasonous bigot and I will never forgive Wisconsin for chosing him over Russ Feingold.
ROB SCHMITT: People are using SNAP benefits to get their nails done, to get their weaves and their hair. This is a really ugly program.

SEN. RON JOHNSON: That program needs to be dramatically reformed.

Most likely don’t have this on the Election Day radar, but felony disenfranchisement is on the ballot next week in Virginia, an unusually harsh state for denying voting rights to people with criminal records. Major reform may be coming there, and Tuesday is pivotal.

Here’s what you need to know:

It's too big, but I think it will work with some alterations. The photo session is going to be a nightmare 😫

A reminder that anti Muslim bigotry and hate continues to be a risk free political strategy. But it also endangers everyone else. Case in point: ICE and the erosion of foundational civil liberties is an outcome of post 9/11 “anti terrorism” legislation.

Western Alaska was hit hard by the recent storms. Houses floated away in Kipnuk, houses flipped over, people lost everything from the flooding that came with the storms. Please donate if you can. This group has a long history of supporting AK communities.

While eyes are on the goofy ass plan to terrorize citizens across the country with federal troops, the house of a South Carolina circuit court judge caught fire yesterday.

Diane Goodstein blocked the DOJ’s attempt to get voter data last month.
