I cook, sew, paint, knit, play violin, and drink wine. I like to give home made gifts (raspberry vodka is a popular one) but not to people who voted for trump.

I said a hip-hop, the hippie, the hippie
To the hip, hip-hop and you don't stop the rockin'
To the bang-bang boogie, say up jump the boogie
To the rhythm of the boogie, the beat

And you may find yourself living in an Apostolic Palace
And you may find yourself in a city that's inside Rome
And you may find yourself behind the glass of a large Popemobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful cassock, with designer shoes
And you may ask yourself, "Well, how did I get here?"

800+ flights cancelled today because Elon took a chainsaw to the federal government and Trump won’t pay the remaining airport personnel.

Elon’s on his way to becoming a trillionaire.

Trump’s net worth has more than doubled inside a year.

Glad everything worked out for them.

How about you?

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.
The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

I feel like Smaug and this post is the black arrow.
My personal timeline is full of autistic people trying to explain that there isn't more autism than before, it's just that we're better at detecting it, and there's nothing more autistic than hoping explaining something at length will help matters when nobody is really listening.

The drum circles beat incessantly
Dearest Martha,

I write from the front lines of war-torn Portland. Today I fought bravely through a hostile farmers market, narrowly surviving a volley of kombucha bottles. Supplies of pour-over coffee and oat milk run low. Clouds of artisanal incense fill the sky, the drum circles beat incessantly
