I’m not even sure what to say. Been watching more and more videos of ICE agents at courthouses, immediately arresting anyone whose case is denied. It’s some of the worst stuff I’ve ever seen. I’m not sure how to fight this, but we have to keep our #EyesOnICE

7 months after moving, I unpacked my pipe collection. Yesterday I had a chance to smoke some Boswell Northwoods in a beautiful Il Ceppo I bought at Mission Pipe Shop in San Jose in 2011. I enjoyed it so much. Why did I wait so long to enjoy this simple pleasure after moving?

I am getting serious pushback on posts where I take delight in the destruction of Teslas. I have never damaged anyone’s property. But, if I was gonna start tomorrow, it would be a Tesla. Preferably on the lot of a dealership. Individual owners should do whatever they need to do to offload theirs

One THOUSAND followers! More engagement than I ever got on the Bird platform. Thank you very much, fellow Blue Sky peeps! I appreciate you. If you know anyone else who would be interested in my tree-hugging, far-left-leaning, super-gay-acting, show-tune-singing, anti-Trump content, please share.

My brother called me for my birthday. He told me he liked it better when gays “flew under the radar like our [closeted] gay uncles.” He added “gay and trans people go around making everyone so uncomfortable now.”
Queer and trans people make my brother uncomfortable merely by existing.

I loved the movie, too! Completely obsessed! I may have changed my name on the Slack channel where my hubby and I chat to “Sue”. And I used this amazing fan art from Reddit as my avatar. Elisabeth was living her best life in the kitchen cooking á la Julia Child!

In case you are lucky enough not to know any gay MAGAs, here is a screed from one of their own. I screenshotted, but didn’t include his name. He’s not an important leader, just a brainwashed dumbass.

These Cabinet choices are sucking the life out of me. Let’s amuse ourselves by picking the WORST fictional characters for each job in the Cabinet. It will be a fun change from picking the worst real people for each job. Please include a picture
I’ll start: Sec’y of the Treasury, Ebenezer Scrooge

Ok Peeps, I made Watergate salad. My friends bravely ate it, but honestly I thought it was icky. I think next time I’ll just make actual ambrosia. Here’s a photo for the record. I subbed pistachio kwark for the jello pudding. You have been warned.

So, the Dodgers can pay ONE new player $700 MILLION, but millions of average Americans are homeless, hungry, and without healthcare. That’s definitely the best use of resources in the richest country on Earth.

Congratulate me! I just quit my day job on the spot. Have been slowly taking on more work and getting more and more stressed over the full year I’ve been there. Today, I had enough. They decided to cut my hours over 50% without so much as an email. I found out on slack. NOPE!

Just got back from Houston where I got to visit with my stepdaughter and her husband. Also got to catch up with some old friends, eat amazing food, and do some shopping for clothes (in US sizes!) and cigars/pipe tobacco.
Mixed emotions. I love the states, but I hate eating BBQ next to a gun store.

Feeling rather odd atm. Finished with work for the weekend, hubby and dogs are at the in-laws. It’s quiet. I just ate a LOT of peanut butter on crackers. Like a LOT. Do I still exist?
