I partnered with the ACLU to talk about tactical frivolity (basically explaining why we are seeing so many people in blow up animal costumes and the historical significance of it).

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance.
Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn.

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance
However, they are weaker than they look…

Day 7 of shark jokes... it hasn't been 7 days, but it feels like it, so here's the last one for now.

"It never was the price of eggs." Stitched into quilt in senior category entry at the Northwest Washington Fair. I wasn't expecting a little bit of resistance with my fair, and it made me smile.

@lukelukeluke.bsky.social saw this in Totem Bight State Park, Ketchikan, AK. It looks like a mini Sorting Hat.

Hubs planted cherry trees several years ago, and I got our first harvest today. There's more on the trees, but I have to pace myself. I've already eaten 2 cups of what I picked an hour ago. At this rate, I'll be incapacitated within the evening. 🍒🍒🍒

Ha! So in addition to Whiskey Spice and Couch Spice, we can add Taco Spice and Klansman Spice. I disagree with Hobbit Spice (too nice) - instead, he can be the token Spice white people use and we'll just call him Salt. @petigrusghost.bsky.social
Bwaaaaa, ha, ha the little Cuban "emigre" aka Hobbit Spice of the trump three horsemen of the Apocalypse, along with Whiskey Spice and Couch Spice tries to clean up the ketchup thrown by their boss the Antichrist, by begging Gina.

I found these near an old tree stump in my yard. I think they are Marshmallow Shasta Daisies, based on an internet search. Each flower is the size of a dime. I had not seen them here before and they made me smile!

I decided to watch Breaking Bad for the first time. Whew! Most of these characters are such unpleasant people. The show is well-written, and I'm hooked to keep watching. (The actors are also all top notch!) But I'm not rooting for anyone, least of all Walter.

Island of the Lost by Joan Druett is based on non-fiction events about two ships wrecking on opposite sides of the same island at the same time and how each team fared. One group was Robinson Crusoe and the other more Lord of the Flies. I recommend it as a good read! #booksofbluesky #goodread

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine is my favorite Trek series. Am watching "Homefront" and "Paradise Lost" and boy, are the plot points hitting. Starfleet conspires to get martial law declared to protect against the changeling threat. But how does Earth want to live - by its ideals or in fear? #StarTrek

My neighbor's cat has found a new favorite spot in my bird-feeding tree. (There are 4 or 5 feet separating them.)

Some folks buy lottery tickets, others play the slots, but my gambling addiction is buying whole watermelons every year. This one was a 4/10 - no *cRaCk* when cutting, a bit pale but already overripe on the edges, and only mildly sweet. Maybe next time...

Just returning from a trip abroad where we made sure to have Canadian pins on our bags and jackets, although we are actually Canadian.

First it was Krispy Kreme in Tokyo, and now Tim Horton's in Shanghai! At least I can get a double double on the road!! And apparently a beer. Their shirts say "Coffee & beer is necessary during your daily life with Tim's"

I grew up with Krispy Kreme, but there are no stores near where I live now. But first in Santiago, Chile last year and now in Shinjuku, Japan this year, I can get a fix. A really expensive way to do it.

Screaming into the void at 4a.m. because I'm travelling and stuff is going sideways while my chronic leg pain is kicking my butt and I can't sleep. And I miss my cats! Sigh... thanks to the void for letting me vent.
