One of your biggest weapons against fascism is ridicule
The other one is satire
Use them often

I believe in grace in most things. But my latest petty joy is pointing, laughing and taking pictures anytime I see a cybertruck in the wild. It sparks joy.
This is like #OMGJadeHelm. But for real. And the people who got their knickers in an absolute, raging, drooling, vein-popping, apoplectic twist about it are just like…nah, this is cool.
WASHINGTON (AP) — National Guard troops from West Virginia, South Carolina, Mississippi and Louisiana have begun arriving in Washington.

Since presidents now cannot be prosecuted for anything, ever, it occurs to me that Bill Clinton has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever.
Here are all the names Oversight Chair James Comer just subpoenaed for testimony related to Epstein.
One name not subpoenaed: Ghislaine Maxwell.
Bill and Hillary Clinton, James Comey, Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, Merrick Garland, Robert Mueller, William Barr, Jeff Sessions, and Alberto Gonzales.

You too @hickenlooper.senate.gov and @bennet.senate.gov - get your hind parts back to DC and serve your constituents!
And you, too, @smith.senate.gov. And @schumer.senate.gov. And every Senate Democrat. We are counting on you. We need you to help us. Our families are at risk. A drug addled sociopath now has access to the entire federal payment system illegally. What are you going to do about it? @democrats.org
Please listen, @amyklobuchar.com.
We don't need to hear about the price of eggs or tomatoes. We already know and can adjust. What we *can't* adjust to is this lawless assault on our government and its resulting chaos. We need you to use whatever tools you have to protect us. Please.

In between NFL and F1, my favorite nieces talked me into watching my first Hallmark movie. First, I was like WTF and now I CANNOT STOP WATCHING. This is the ridiculous dopamine hit my brain needed. Make it staaaahhhpppp!

Show me intervals, you cowards!

Someone explain to me, like I’m an absolute turnip, why they don’t start showing intervals until, like, LAP 7. 🙄

Finding people here that I used to follow on the other place makes me happy. Not that I ever interact a lot online, but it’s like finding a book I haven’t read in a while and settling in for a good re-read.

Plant-based about 99% of the time but Thanksgiving….cracks knuckles….mac n cheese, garlic mashed potatoes and gravy until my eyeballs float. Excuse me, gotta do some deep knee bends to stretch out.

Saturday morning happiness (for me) is sitting by the fire with my dog while knitting and listening to an audio book. And, if I may geek out for a second, learning how to carry a color in each hand while knitting these types of patterns has made it way more fun.

My family’s ride or die Thanksgiving Rule: Pie for breakfast. Coffee and pie on Thursday morning. Because if you wait until after dinner you won’t be hungry. And if you’re going to make pie only once a year, you should be hungry enough to appreciate it. YWFMS.

Yah, I tried that after 2016. Now, I’m reclaiming my time. Get bent.
You don’t have to subject yourself to slurs and Russian bot farms in order to understand “different perspectives” actually

Day 7 of Home Health Care Diaries. Mom wants a fire at 0400. This process requires much banging and slamming and scraping by my step-father. On the good side, I go back to sleep and wake up (at a more respectable 0600) and get to drink my coffee here.

I think the hardest thing about deleting my Twitter account was the mourning. Twitter hadn’t been “my place” in a long time but I genuinely loved the thing it once was. I had to cycle through the 7 stages of whatever before I could let it go. Felt grief a bit like when I lost a cousin to MAGA.
At this rate, the number of Bluesky users will exceed Twitter users within the next eight months. Incredible.

Did I need a second pita stuffed with falafel, hummus, tahini, assorted veg and tzatziki sauce? No. Nevertheless, she persisted.

Curdled loathing crouches in my spleen, sending tentacles of rage through my back teeth. It burns with the fire of a thousand suns. I live in a perpetual state of rage now. So here is my doggo.
