I had stress hives from therapy today just TALKING about getting rid of stuff and going thru papers. Tomorrow I had planned to sort thru a basket of k12 school papers with my other therapist but I’m not sure that’s wise… but NOT doing it feels like procrastinating. I’ll take advice, good and silly.

Finally got around to transferring gear to my new hiking pack. Who’s coming out with me?

We just want to say that we are in awe of all of you. You are the ones history will remember—a resistance rising against tyranny. From the moment Trump took office, laws have been broken left and right. We shouted from the rooftops, and it took relentless effort just to have our voices heard.

All these articles about Democrats moaning over their messaging issues make me tired.
You know what's more important than messaging? ACTION.
Don't TALK about the price of eggs.
Tell people "MEET US IN THE PARK - WE'RE GIVING OUT FREE EGGS. THAT'S RIGHT - FREE EGGS FROM THE DEMOCRATS!"

Please stop believing we don’t owe each other anything. We owe each other so much! We owe each other love, equity, understanding, community, compassion, and much more. Don’t let this toxic hyper individualism cut you off from humanity. We’re all connected. We all need each other.

I’m not THAT midwestern mom but I’m totally A midwestern mama. Snow shovel training in my PJs and slippers.

I suggested I could make some money by selling baked goods and watched my partner simultaneously experience every emotion known by man. Fear, hope, terror, intrigue, the desire not to hurt my feelings, the wonder whether he could say anything of value without risking castration… it was glorious.

And those of us close enough to the border would do well to see what Canadian media we can get in.
Supporting Canadian should also extend to the media we consume.
Postmedia is majority owned by a Republican-connected US hedge fund thanks to legislation the Conservatives pushed through AFTER they lost in 2015. It was a Republican takeover of Canadian media.

The Bend app just added 50 more stretches including a BUNCH of stuff that I was doing in physical therapy. I’m really excited to upgrade my mornings!

Forgot lunch taco bowl for dinner. Took a bag of shredded rotisserie chicken from the freezer and simmered it with a small can of tomato sauce, a can of green chiles, dry onion & bell peppers, taco seasoning, and enough water to rinse the cans. Microwaved a bag of cilantro lime rice. Added toppings!

As I said: the choice wasn’t known accomplice to genocide vs no genocide. The choice was someone who was stuck between a rock and a hard place who has a chance at hearing our disapproval, vs someone gleefully participating and making it worse.
Look. Your vote was your vote.
But this is why I was saying “Trump is going to be worse on Gaza than Harris.”
You can’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

Good morning!
Drink some water.
Take your meds.
If you’re protesting at a state capitol today, turn off location tracking on your phone and switch to a passcode to unlock, not face recognition.
Write important numbers on your arm in Sharpie in case you lose your phone.
Don’t talk to cops. #resist

Trumpers don’t realize school choice programs are DEI and only exist within the dept of Education. Parents will have the option to pay for private school or pay fines for truancy. Homeschooling isn’t an option for everyone, and may fall under dept of ed.

This thought is longer than 300 characters and I’m too ADHD to tolerate making and tracking a thread, but it must be said: I’m grateful for violent protesters, threatening mobs, unruly riots. They give oppressors a reason to negotiate with nonviolent protesters. This isn’t sarcasm. Truly grateful.
