Back in the "good old days" cigarettes helped a person breath 🫁 😂
As a history nerd and a science nerd 🤓 this was a hilarious to see.

I finally found the ruby red slippers of my dreams. May they always help me find my way back to the beach.
The beach life is calling me. 🏖️

First they come for the comedians, then the cartoonist. Kings fear being laughed at. We have a funny bone to pick with/without a smile on our faces #Colbert #Kimmel #SethMeyers #DailyShow

I will use my voice. Give me a mega phone or a small chat in the grocery store line. I will preach LOVE 💕 and just a little FDT and his corrupt douche canoes pals.

Women know this in our bones.
It's beaten into us
with harsh words, then
with glances that cut where tongues do.
Sit down.
Be quiet.
Yet, always,
the crone has learned,
our voices, our knowledge,
our skills,
knit the world together.
RISE.
SPEAK.
CHANGE the world!

In light of current events, let’s not forget how MAGAs Keyboard Warriors terrorists beat police on January 6th

Let make sure these videos never be erased!

How is this for real! This is some excessive force on the busy city of LA. This is Trump and Maga making trouble to increase their force and power unjustly. Why does history have to repeat itself. Stay safe tonight. Keep it peaceful. Resist.

How is June only the 6th month of the year?!?! I feel like I have aged 7 years thus far. This year is one for the books, that's for sure. Happy JUNE! May it be gentle with us ✨️

How do we take Fox News down? The propaganda they are spinning is wild! They are feeding conspiracy theories and LIES!
Seriously, how do we end them?

Fort Gratiot Lighthouse in Port Huron was a fantastic over night field trip. We even did some ghost hunting. Turns out ghosts are afraid of a bunch of kids 🤣

Who feels totally overwhelmed by all the layers of stress? ✋️ Who feels like in an ideal world, politics would be quiet background noise; quietly protecting but not authoritarian. What if we had a government that protected you health; mind, body and soul? Is that honestly too much to ask America? 🇺🇸 😔

I am just gonna put this right here. This gal is speaking my language. I am definitely a tragic optimist but this isn't a bad thing. I will find deeper meaning in all this.
Tell me if you are too?

There were almost 500 of us in Trenton MI today who said THIS IS NOT NORMAL!! We are not the minority. ZERO counter protesters! Some turd supporters drove by and shouted. WAY more + than - 😊
This is what democracy looks like!

We heard for our AG Dana Dessel and Debbi Dingle.
