Doing my best to survive living in Idaho. The United States is a white supremacist state, and it always has been, and late-stage capitalism enables white supremacy #BlackLivesMatter #FreePalestine 🇵🇸

I’ve been telling people for awhile now that AI is largely fake. Get your money out of tech stocks, or if you love risk, maybe invest in quantum computing.

📚💙 Book 11 of 2026 - The Emperor of Gladness by Ocean Vuong. I read this for #BookNerd category “Read a book about the New American experience.” This was a beautiful book. Vuong’s insistent, evocative language elevates this story of chosen family to an epic. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It’s ironic that I’m posting about Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die on social media, but anyway, go see it.

Woot! I’m a Canadian!
I'm not saying that Canada is perfect, I'm saying that the bar is pretty low right now.

The compulsive need of white people to center ourselves in every situation is learned behavior and can just as easily be unlearned. Time to put in the work fuckos 💪
I would never tell folks how to post but I would say this site would be better if everyone didn't personalize everything. Not everything is about you. It's a freeing thought!

Disgusting. It’s terrible that the USA still has a death penalty. Colonialism is a disease
The Israeli Knesset voted in favor of a death penalty bill for Palestinian prisoners last year in its 1st reading.
The bill will likely pass 2 further readings before becoming a law that formalizes Israel's ongoing killing of Palestinian prisoners.

Back before 2007, my hubby and I had season tickets to Steelheads hockey here in Boise. Now that the kid is safely off to college, we decided to come back and enjoy a game or two. Nice special third jerseys!

📚💙 Book 10 of 2026 - Jazzed by Jill Dearman. Read for #booknerd category “Read a book featuring Jazz.” By the halfway point, I was basically rage-reading this garbage novel, and I would have DNF’d it is not for the challenge. I get that it’s a female take on Leopold and Loeb, but I still hated it

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

Looking at the news lately, we have finally reached the Find Out stage of civilization run by imbeciles. Kids getting encephalitis from Measles, people falling ill from drinking raw milk, children beating white, middle-aged MAGA men. Here’s to Finding Out faster than the idiots can fuck around.

Emperor Palpatine must not blow up another planet! We need stronger regulations to clarify how future emperors use the Death Star. We should update the Galactic Constitution to create a committee to approve future apocalypses. I’m sure the emperor’s appointees would steer him in the right direction.

📚💙 Book 9 of 2026, The Stone Sky by NK Jemisin. This is Book 3 of the Broken Earth trilogy, and it has overtaken Lord of the Rings as my very favorite fantasy/sci-fi trilogy. It really is that good. Read for #BookNerd Category “Read a Hugo Award winner.”

A friend reached out to me out of the blue today, and it reminded me how much more fulfilling it is to have real 1-1 conversations. So here’s my challenge: shoot a text out to one of your friends, have a real conversation, then encourage that friend to pass it on. Connections change the world

📚💙 There are none so frightened, or so strange in their fear, as conquerors. They conjure phantoms endlessly, terrified that their victims will someday do back what was done to them —even if, in truth, their victims couldn’t care less about such pettiness and have moved on. 1/2

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people.
But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

The issue isn't whether "Melania" is a good movie or a bad one. It's that one of the richest men in America, with business interests affected by public policy, gave the President's family $75 million to make it. Like that's somehow legal.

Thanks so much to the California Indie Booksellers Alliance for this honor. I hope it encourages more people to buy the book but not today because today is a general strike! FTP!

📚💙 Book 8 of 2926-It Found Us by Lindsay Currie. This is a book for kids, and I read it for #BookNerd category “Read a Middle Grade Horror Book.” I listened to the audio version, and I didn’t get bored. Nice message, not bad. I don’t recommend it for adult readers, but kids probably love it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
