Let me tell you about my friend Roger. Roger came into my life about 9 months ago. He was rescued from a puppy mill where he had spent his entire adult life living alone in a barn while being used as a sire. Roger is scared of everything. Roger never knew love. But now Roger knows nothing but love.

There are statues of people everywhere in this country of men who fought a war, a very bloody war over, in part, taxation

I will not financially enable the kleptocracy or the people who seek to eliminate me from existence.

Taxation without civil rights

Would you want to pay your abusers?
January 26, 2025 at 11:49 PM
As a trans woman I am being told by my government that I don’t exist and have no claim on basic federal protections and civil rights.

Yet they expect me to pay my taxes….

Nope.

Give me liberty or give me death

Give me freedom or stick your taxes where the sun don’t shine.

So bear with me a second here.

If the federal death penalty is on again then we are all culpable in the deaths of others.

We are our government, our government is us, We the People. So when our government kills someone, so do we.

I will not be party to murder and enable your religious hypocracy.

If the Christian bible is (according to Christians) the word of god, how is it you all have edited it so many times?

I guess you know better than your own “god”

Huh.

To the Tesla owners who say “I bought it before I knew Musk was an asshole”

I say, bullshit. It wasn’t hard to figure out he was a horrible human being long before the Nazi cosplay.
I will continue to deride you (see what I did there?), flip the bird, and make a little hitler stash with my finger.

I’m so stoned that Philomena Cunk sounds completely genius.

I am not “woke” as it offends my grammar sensibilities, but I have been sleeping

I may be like March, in like a lion and out like a lamb, but I don’t fight because I think I am going to win, I fight because I have to win.

The only way I will lose is if I remain silent.

Hang it upside down

This isn’t just protest, for some of us it is a fight for survival.

I hang my progressive pride upside down today to stand against hate, bigotry and lies

It is upside down- “LGBTQ American in distress”

Any action, no mater how small outside of the echo chamber matters. Speak up, stand up

Here’s something pure to distract from all the crap.

My son and his girlfriend are down in my place in the Keys and they met this little guy today on the back deck.

He comes by often, I call him “Spud”

(Please note that they are being very responsible and are keeping their hands to themselves)

Woke up this morning to a face full of dog butt, which also describes how tomorrow morning is going to feel

My sheer existence is protest

By being unapologetically me and insisting on my humanity

Unflinching, unafraid, and loving all.

It’s the quietest way of screaming at those who want to dehumanize and erase me.

I’ll give you a dollar if you read my poetry

Not really, but you get the point

I live alone
I work from home, alone
I don’t leave the property much anymore

And all I do is worry about my dogs
What if I don’t make it?
What if I choke on a grape?
What if I fall down the stairs and broke my neck?

How long would they be trapped in the house alone?

It could be weeks..or more

So I went to IG and added a link to my Bluesky account.

My IG account was immediately suspended and I’m locked out.

Wtf?

Ask not what your country did to you, but what you did to your country

I’m either the smartest dumb person you know or the dumbest smart person you know (or, possibly, both!)

My wealthy MAGA neighbor was talking about the new neighbors, the Blacks.

A sentence or two in I realized that he meant it with a lowercase “b”

Haven’t talked to that fucker since.

Someone tell comedian Pete Holmes I could really use one of those soft hugs he talked about.

Some people accuse
me of toxic positivity.

Alcohol is toxic too

So like alcohol you just have to take me in small enough doses and you’ll be ok.

I am in both of these photos.
It’s me, pre-transition trying oh so hard to be anything but who I am.
It was fun as fuck tho.
