Sorry to those who’ve followed me for WNBA talk.

You will mostly get posts about my gym days, politics, what I’ve cooked for dinner, and dogs I meet in my neighborhood.

You may also get the occasional personal finance or web development post. 😄
Watching a Bob the Drag Queen comedy show in which Bob is reminiscing about T9 texting and nights and weekend plans.

MA’AM-SIR, SIR-MA’AM back in MY DAY you didn’t have a phone in your pocket. You had to stand within 10’ of a wall and hope you didn’t need something from across the room!

Democrats must refuse to vote for any funding bill that increases ICE’s budget and refuse to fund DHS until ICE’s abuses of power are stopped.

The government funding deadline is January 30th. Call your reps today: (202) 224-3121

Sometimes you clean out a box that’s been in the corner of a room since you moved in and find a gorgeous nib holder and nib from the last time you tried calligraphy.

NOTE: I do not remember buying this AT ALL.

I’ve left the house again!

Please clap.
I am also considering leaving the house tomorrow.

It helped me focus on the work I wanted to get done.

That’s only the second time in 15 years of LA living that someone assumed I spoke Spanish.

(This happens often enough in other places that I really should learn the language.)

the sort of liminal space american politics exists in rn — a fed govt that *wants to be* fascist and *is* doing a ton of violence/damage but is also very clearly outnumbered and losing battles left and right in elections, courts, the streets — is i think hard for a lot of us to get our heads around
ICE can't even deal with irate middle-aged midwesterners. how does he occupy hundreds, if not thousands, of polling cites and precincts? trump v. illinois clarified that he has no legal authority to unilaterally commandeer national guards, how does he move forward from there?

Cripes a’mighty people, Steven Miller is not staging a militarized ethnic cleansing and sending the border cops to murder people in the street to distract from the Epstein files. He’s doing it because he and Trump (and Vance and Homan and Noem etc) really really want to.

Does anyone know of a Signal 101 primer resource out there?

I don't mean ones like "here are the most secure settings", I mean like "every church lady on the block has installed this app at the same time and has no idea whatsoever how to use it, here's how to do it and what settings even are"

So the fun thing about cognates is that you can probably correctly parse the meaning of this post without knowing very much French.

If you’re not following Ximena on immigration news you’re missing out >>>>>>
SCOOP: 27 military lawyers are expected to onboard as temporary immigration judges this week. They will train with 6 new permanent judges.

I previewed the move in my story regarding the closure of courtrooms in San Francisco.

New judges will go to CO, MA, AZ, CA, UT, MD, + LA.

Folks in the US still like to treat the whole Greenland invasion stuff as sufficiently unserious to engage with, but it is sufficiently serious that NATO allies are actively deploying tripwire forces to deter the US. That is *already* a political and actual cost to them, and to US relationships

Managed to register for the LA28 ticket draw, but I wish they broke out the sports by gender.

Do I want to see basketball? Yes.

Would I rather watch the women's tournament games? VERY MUCH YES.

Like the boys are cool and all, but I want to cheer for my WNBA faves.

A little preview of some of the past I've drawn on for what I'm publishing tomorrow. Arguments over who "real" Americans are and whether we can hold close our cultural and religious heritage *and* be American go way back. This is from 1916, but I have clips going back to the 1890s.

I thought the bag said “turkey bolognese.”

What it actually said was “turkey and three bean chili.”

So I guess we are having turkey chili and penne tonight. 🙃

My own handwriting and eyesight have failed me.
