Getting over a cold (yes, I had a flu shot a few weeks ago), and making a big pot of chili in the crockpot today. Oh, and doing my best to survive this f#&ked up timeline. (Seriously, where did the timeline branch, and can we time travel back to that point to fix it?)

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

🚨 HS students (US citizens) were gassed and assaulted (reportedly, one student’s face was bloodied) before being taken away in custody by federal agents. There are no rules for ICE. Keep your kids safe.

Warning sirens are loud right now. If you are comfortable with this escalation, you probably would've been one of the comfortable German citizens during Hitler's reign, too.

Make plans to attend the next #NoKings rally October 18th.

Right-wing Sinclair Broadcasting owns all these local media stations and many others all across America. This is not journalism, it is scripted propaganda.

Always hopeful, yet discontent

Season 2 of "Hazbin Hotel" drops on Amazon Prime October 29th!

Looking forward to this, as the first season was a pleasant (and very adult) surprise.

Yesterday was Star Trek Day, and I apparently missed the announcement that LEGO is doing its first official set featuring The Next Generation.

This makes my geeky heart so happy! 🥰

On the one hand, very cool creatures (and problematic because of their stings). On the other hand - *gestures wildly* - global warming.

Trump looks horrible during today's press conference from the White House meeting with South Korea President Lee Jae Myung.

The orange makeup is spackled on so thick today, he reminds me of the Oompa Loompas from "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". 🫢

Horrible use of social media (Kick) that allowed violence/abuse to escalate unchecked.

This is some dystopian shit. Reading the article, it made me think of Season 7 Episode 1 - "Common People" - of the TV show "Black Mirror".

Trump is rambling to the press during his meeting with Ukranian President Zelenskyy like a senile old grandpa receiving visitors at the nursing home. Seriously, WTF...he's talking about everything not related to the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine. 🤮 #WTF #Trump #Ukraine
