Happy Halloween! 👻
I am standing in my facial room, wearing an old timey white dress with tule, and a lace collar, my dark hair is in front of my face giving the appearance of a ghastly apparition.

@buttgh0st.bsky.social got us through the corn maze in record time. We entered at 7:31, out at 7:58, but somehow @djdresden.clownpenis.monster still fucking beat us.
Photo of a corn maze at night. There is a large corn field with a walking path, in the distance is the tree line. The cloudscape looks eerie yet beautiful.

Everyday my hate for democrats grows. Do words just not having meaning anymore? Thanks for letting us know you think communism is worse than fascism, it explains so much. If only we had historical precedent for what happens when moderates collaborate with the far right. 🙄

Imagine admitting to keeping your kids out of school and using them for child labor because “adults don’t want to work”! These poor kids, and the comments are full of people supporting them/calling for a petition. Petition all you want, we have labor laws for a reason.
goldenharvestcafe instagram post with the caption: “There's no easy or good way to say this. It's with heavy hearts that we let you all know that this is our last week of being open at Golden Harvest unless God performs a miracle. The DOL (department of labor) came out today because someone reported that we have our children working. Isn't that what a "family business" is? They are in no danger. They love what they're doing. They are honestly learning a lot more in life than if they sat in a classroom! Plus they do school at home just not the same hours the public schools do school. They all came out in the 90s on most of their subjects in their CAT test. There are some things we will never understand. We don't know what this means for us, but tonight we ask that you stand with our family as we process the next steps in life. If our children cannot be part of Golden Harvest, it won't be Golden Harvest anymore yes, that means no more donuts or pretzels and no more deep peaceful conversations in our garden room. ( Ridiculous laws like this is why we experience the Chaos we are experiencing in this world right now. What are families supposed to do if they aren't allowed to work together? Children can't work, adults don't want to work? What are we to do? Feel free to call the DOL with feedback.”

The outfit that inspired the comment. It’s a vintage dress that appears to be homemade, it’s without tags so I’m guessing it is from the 70s.
Picture is a selfie taken in a bronze mirror. My black curly hair is pulled back into a half up half down, I’m wearing a n95 respirator. The dress is cream, with an empire waist and a blue and orange flower motif along the neckline and waistline.

Happy international cat day from Gilbert.

Does anyone know what these Homeland Security signs could be for? This is from today, on the corner of East & Alexander.

You can’t convince me that these aren’t the same people.

If you starve & dehumanize an entire group of people, round them up like cattle, then you probably have become that which you fear the most. Israel & the United States are doing Nazi shit, then turning around and saying that this is what is necessary to keep Jews safe. They are playing in our faces.

That one and this one were my favorites.

Are you Team Floater or Team Sinker?

When I make my own matzo balls they are definitely floaters, and I love adding parsnips to my soup. This version from Grassfed was delicious though!
On top of a black granite countertop sits a white bowl containing matzo ball soup.

What’s your favorite useless talent?

Mine is that I can fold a fitted sheet well.
A white fitted sheet in a perfect rectangle sits on top of a bed with an oatmeal blanket. There are various folded white sheets and towels around it.

Finally saw one of these in the wild.
Photo is of a red Tesla car with multiple anti Elon stickers on it, including one that claims that the Tesla is “vintage”.

They are on the same team, these are not public servants, but rather careerists beholden to wealthy donors and not us.
Picture is shot looking through the White House windows, Schumer is speaking with his hands while Trump has his left hand on his forearm, and his right hand on Schumer’s right shoulder. Schumer’s brows are raised, while a slight grimace and possible smirk can be seen on Trumps face.

Apparently it’s a Valentine cactus and not a Christmas cactus.
Sitting on a windowsill is a leggy cactus with bright pink blooms. There is a round mirror on the wall with a wooden frame, beyond the cactus you can see out the window, where there’s a blue building and snow on the ground.

I haven’t seen anyone mention the dog whistle in this post - “people like Chuck Schumer would have already been resettled.” This is a call to gather all the Jews across the diaspora & force us back to Israel to bring on the rapture. Christian Zionism is a threat to all our safety.
Screenshot of a Truth Social post by Trump dates Feb 6th, 2025 “The Gaza Strip would be turned over to the United States by Israel at the conclusion of fighting. The Palestinians, people like Chuck Schumer, would have already been resettled in far safer and more beautiful communities, with new and modern homes, in the region. They would actually have a chance to be happy, safe, and free. The U.S., working with great development teams from all over the World, would slowly and carefully begin the construction of what would become one of the greatest and most spectacular developments of its kind on Earth. No soldiers by the U.S. would be needed! Stability for the region would reign!!!”

Please understand what Trump is crude enough to say out loud, is no different from what the Biden administration was planning to do, they were just too cowardly to be forthright about it. While Biden was in office Israeli development groups were here selling land in Gaza at several synagogues.
Screenshot of an excerpt from AP “The diplomat said Egypt rejected similar proposals from the Biden administration and European countries early in the war, which was sparked by Hamas' Oct. 7, 2023 attack into southern Israel. The earlier proposals were broached privately, while Trump announced his plan at a White House press conference alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.”

My sister is 7 miles away from the evacuation zone in LA. This is how dark it is at her place. I told her to start packing, she said she can’t because she has 2 hours of calls to lead for work. FUCK everything, fuck work, fuck this disgusting capitalist hellscape.
Picture is off a very dark bedroom, with an unmade bed, the minimal light within the room is coming from the window. It’s very ominous.

So lucky to have Bill & Myk pass their Le Creuset dutch oven on to us. Christening it with a creamy potato & cabbage soup.
Photograph of a black Le Creuset pot on top of a black gas range. The soup is a creamy golden color with veggies like carrots, celery, and potatoes. Fresh herbs are sprinkled throughout.

I read all 42 pages of the Matt Gaetz ethic report, so you don’t have to.

I had full confidence that he is a drug abusing pedo, who accepted gifts against house rules, but what actually stood out to me in the report is the corruption at the DOJ.
Page 3 highlight: “Most of the women with whom the Committee spoke also gave statements to DOJ and urged the Committee to rely on those statements in lieu of requiring them to relive their experience. They were particularly concerned with providing additional testimony about a sitting congressman in light of DOJ's lack of action on their prior testimony. DOJ refused to provide the relevant statements and other significant evidence to the Committee. DOJ cited internal policies about protecting uncharged subjects like Representative Gaetz, general concerns about how DOJ's cooperation with the Committee may deter other victims in other matters, and various inapposite policies relating to congressional oversight of DOJ itself. DOJ's initial deferral request and subsequent lack of cooperation with the Committee's review caused significant delays in the investigation.” Page 32 Highlight: “Regardless of whether Victim A had any pecuniary motive in sending such a communication, she cooperated with DOJ's investigation for years and was let down by the justice system when reports circulated that DOJ would be unlikely to pursue charges against Representative Gaetz.”

@cmgreen86.bsky.social knows the way to my heart, showing up to her facial and giving me a package of ReadiMasks, which I love for hair cuts and MRIs.
Picture is of a package of strapless yellow readiMasks, the hand holding the package has shimmery champagne polish with a gingerbread man and candy cane nail stickers.

We do not consider the calendar when it comes to the first day of winter, the first official day of winter is the first day Gilbert crawls into his igloo bed. Today is that day.
