She has the right idea!

And the poverty line is absurdly low. Looking at the figures, you could afford maybe one item. Food, housing, health insurance, transportation. Pick one. If you work full time at minimum wage, 52 weeks a year, you gross 15k. The system benefits corporations, not individuals.

Who knew Wes Craven was such a great prognosticator? Pluto in "Hills Have Eyes" foretold the arrival of Miller.

What the actual fuck. Who made that white lady the arbiter of "how to talk about slavery honestly"? She needs to put away her Prager videos and Shut. Her. Mouth.
*I couldn't recall the name, so I googled "right wing propaganda history videos" and bingo.

Remember that the best and most important "Fuck You" to this government is for us to continue to exist.
Full Stop.

Starting to get really nervous about the boomerang effect...

I looked up "fowl pox" after a wild bird group referenced it. This hot garbage is what Google AI gave me. If this doesn't frighten you, it should. With AI results like this, we'll be solving all our health issues with WD-40, duct tape, and a liberal application of motor oil.

I wonder if her cosmetologist is engaging in some "resistance" or if KKKaroline is actually requesting the "Hot Stuff" look? She certainly acts like a caricature of a human, not at all surprised by the emergence of duck face and horns.

A florist trying to reorder small glass bowls had a nasty tariff surprise. The "import fees" were $350.00, more than the entire cost of her order. Small businesses are already getting hit hard.

Turkey vultures having a chat and enjoying some sun. I get excited about Turkey vultures because Black vultures have overwhelmed them in numbers in recent years. #BirdSky

Sending out love to everyone who is feeling the pain and trauma of this time, and this government. Every single being in our house loves you unconditionally, and will continue to fight for our/your rights and lives.

Hugs to all. Wishing everyone a peaceful and restorative evening, with a good friend and a great book.
Tonight we're reading
"The Gate to Women's Country" by Sherri S. Tepper.

Today I choose hope.
I choose to believe that we're hanging in there like this moss, undaunted by our record-breaking cold, temporarily hidden by snowpack, but very much alive.

Looking at the top 10 word look-ups on Merriam-Webster right now, and not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

When I first shared this in 2018 I never dreamed that it would still be relevant (or more so) in 2025.
January 20th, 2025.
Let us celebrate Martin Luther King.

Biscuit and Bernie and their favorite throw blanket.
It reads "Rescued is my Favorite Breed".
The cats know. 🌻

The White-Breasted Nutjob got a clean bill of health from the vet today. The surgery is healing well, and the mass was benign.
Hooray for Marla!
