Percussionist, pen lover. Researching joy. Attempting to fight the good fight and put things back on course.
I'm thankful that people have been stepping up. May it continue, unabated, and grow exponentially.

Absolutely this. I would love if every person who had a hand in that inexcusable debacle was named and shamed.

I'm literally just living a normal life while also experiencing a theophany via communication with the satellite called VALIS.

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.
If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

This article. Whoa.
In every way, Trump demands fealty to himself—and to his whims, wholly untethered to law—over fealty to federal officials’ oaths of office. So again: Are you effing kidding me? What Dems did here was patriotic. They forced the debate we need over Trump's lawlessness.

🏥🚨🏥 Healthcare workers: Patient’s rights are being violated. A lot of people are adverse to standing up to “authority,” but we have codes of ethics - each of our professions do. Rise up! 1/2

The lack of personal and professional rectitude is both stunning and sad.
I wish we lived in a land where if journalists heard the president call one of their colleges "piggy" or suggest another of their colleagues, who was butchered for what he wrote, in some way had it coming, they would close their laptops, leave as soon as possible, and ask to be reassigned.

I can't possiblly open up Bsky while the orange clown is covered so heavily today. For now, enjoy this photo from a recent trip, in Shirakawa, Gifu prefecture, Japan.

Repugnant. Full support to Mr. Kim.
Both parties should support this. Using AI to generate a video of a candidate saying something he didn’t say should be illegal. Especially since many voters think it is real. I will condemn any candidate from either party who does this.

This. We're back to a version of this, at the highest levels of government. Vance is scum.

JD's family has spent $35M on vacations.
Kash Patel used a $60M FBI jet to go on a date.
Trump spent $98M to golf for 24% of the days of this term.
ALL WITH OUR TAX DOLLARS.
But you think a single mom getting $6 a day for SNAP is the problem?

I'd take one Tammy Duckworth over 1,000 dickless Scott Perrys.
If given the chance, I'd lose my legs all over again to serve in our great military.
The leader of your party is a five-time draft dodger who has fired more Veterans than any other president in our history.
Square that circle then tell me who really hates our military.

SMH so hard I'm getting nauseous. Elect a pig, expect fucking pig-like behavior.
We can never live this down, this abomination of a presidency. We just have to make it as short as possible, and try to correct the multitude of wrongs that have been done to our nation, our people.

I haven't kept lots of vintage Esties, but I have a fondness for their pastel 'purse pen' line. The plastic is softer, so you look for cap cracks. When this was up for auction it looked ok, and cleaned up well. The 9668 nib is also a sweet writer, and this 4-1/2" fountain pen has a forever home.
