When they say America First, it is to harken the party of old...
The image is an old Dr. Seus political comic of a mother wearing an "America First " shirt to her two small children sitting on the arms of the chair. The book she reads has a picture of a wolf and is titled "Adolf the Wolf". There is a swastika on the book binding. Above the picture is the text: "... and the Wolf chewed up the children and spit out their bones... But those were Foreign Children and it really didn't matter."

On a background of red, black, and gold embers is a text in white that reads: As I sit here, eyes squinting the tiny, dark screen in my hand into focus, I wonder if anyone can truly fathom how difficult it is to simply string two words together, let alone a sentence. On days like today, where it feels like my skull is trying to strangle the brain within, I am lucky if I can remember my own name.

The text is on a black stage, framed by red curtains. The text reads: The puppet master carves and contours his newest two puppets. Both will be adorned in white, blue, and red. He plans to take them on the world stage and peddle his lies. Praying the Emporium of gimcrack baubles and bits is enough to distract the consumerism mindset of the masses, who have somehow become the outliers amid the 1%.

1. Worked in reprogramming my father-in-law by explaining Trump does not have a 165 IQ based on "being a successful business man, especially considering 40% of Trump businesses failed. Next weeks goal- explain how Musk is not a genius, but rather a Trust Fund baby. 2. Called and wrote to my Republican Congressman to vote against the new budget bill. 3. Planned an entire three day summer camp plus lesson plan scripts 4. Did budget research for two events and placed info in spread sheets. 5. Managed to get medicaid covering my medications "people having some issues with there supplemental coverage not being linked to their accounts". Weird

dewy and damp
the broken tunes
of a thousand
different songs
play in her head

exhausted and
tired, she
sinks into the
botanical
infused waters
praying her day
will melt away
cleansing her soul
freeing her mind
erasing all
of her painful
memories the
body and mind
have clung onto

The background is a dark, empty room. One light shines down the center. It illuminates the following text: My fellow countrymen, we have reached a nexus of importance, that at times, the gravity feels insurmountable. Craven elites have breached our government. They now sit at the head of the table. Who among us will hold them accountable? Who is lending solutions of substance? Is there any likelihood he can be impeached? History has shown us the birth of many revolutions. Stand tall. Stand firm. Be the resistance.

This is Lilith McStabbypants. I used to take her to the hospital and infusion center. I told nurses, for each time they had to restab me starting an IV, Lilith was going to stab them.
The picture is of a female wearing a pink particle masks with a unicorn horn headband. In the foreground, she is holding a pink, white, and lilac unicorn stuffed animal.

#vss365 #vssdaily #bathtub #eraser
The background image is a pair of tanned women's legs peeking out of a bubblebath. Overlaying the picture is the microstory: She sank into the steaming waters of the bathtub. As the bubbles engulfed her ivory skin, her muscles began to unwind, like releasing the tension on a rubber band. She closed her eyes in exhaustion, breathing in the rose scent from the foam, now permeating the small room. There was no better eraser for a bad day than this.

How can I ever be expected to get out of bed and do things. Just look at this little familiar!

An orange tabby lies asleep across his mother's arm. He is snuggling against her brown T-shirt, while swaddled in a steel blue sheet, and pastel rainbow blankie.

On a blue background, framed by two torn American flags is the following text in red: "While large swaths of the masses fawn over their newly installed leader, they lie to themselves and echo that their eyes did not see what they truly saw. They take comfort in the falsity that their ears did not hear what they indeed did hear. Meanwhile, their leader galumphs his way to his bully pulpit, and weaves a yarn so thick and taut, the wool will forever be pulled over his congregation's eyes."

The background is a gradient of peach. Faint, stalk flowers are backlit by the sun. The poem reads: linens and lace where has the time gone her mind begins to race pigtails frame a youthful face giving a spring monarch playful chase she holds first place A timid teen's art design For aerospace a wedding kiss a lingering embrace she is a vision of beauty and grace ten tiny fingers ten little toes a precious doughface stares up a new mommy glows linens and lace where has the time gone her mind begins to race

Today, I finished my hooded scarf. My best friend always said I was Little Red Riding Hood, never afraid of the Big Bad Wolf.

The photo is of me wearing a red yarn hodded scarf, long enough to cover face and neck.

I can finally show my most recent finished #stitchwitch project. The blue is for calming and inner peace. The pink is to find and feel love- both self love and romantic. The black is for protection.

I struggle this time of year to find the holiday spirit, so this year I am trying to do the things that made my holidays special with my family, from going all out decorating the house, to lots of baking. These are a twist on my mom's chocolate chip cookies. I used fudge mint chips also.
22 mint chocolate chips cookies cooling on wax paper on the counter.

The Devil card reminds us in order to be truly happy, we need to do some shadow work. We should not get misguided by complacency just because we feel more comfortable with the devil we know.
