I encourage all eligible Trump supporters to prove their loyalty by enlisting in the armed forces immediately so they can serve in the front lines when Trump starts the land assault on Venezuela.

I'm back at the bench.

Finish prep is underway, starting with detailing the edges of the peghead.

Next comes rounding over the binding and edges of the back.

I'm trying a few new ideas on this dulcimer, and I look forward to finding out if they were good ideas!

Burning in the holes that make up the side sound port, or as I prefer to call it, "Playing with fire!" :)

Once the "corpse," the body of the dulcimer is completely assembled, it is time to start cleaning everything up with scrapers and files, then comes sanding, detailing, and finishing.

Sometimes, self-care means imagining Trump, Mike Johnson, Steve Bannon, Stephen Miller, and the rest of the MAGA Reich as Daleks, and as you read quotes of what they have said, imagining hearing it said in a Dalek voice.

I would like to remind Republicans who are freaking out about NYC electing a mayor who is a Muslim that Dr. Oz is also a Muslim.

Trump Supporters:

If you lost your SNAP benefits, please be aware that Anarchists and Socialists are distributing food and donating money to food banks to make sure you have enough to eat.

On this day in 1923, Elmira Jigglebottom organized the country's first Feminist Anarcho-Socialist Autoharp Syndicate.

The Trump Regime has decided there aren't enough white supremacists in the United States, so they will be importing them from South Africa.
Trump caps refugee admissions at 7,500 - mostly white South Africans
The move, which will apply for the next fiscal year, marks a dramatic cut from the previous limit of 125,000.

I used to joke that if you stuck a flag that said “I hate gays and minorities and abortions” in a festering pile of shit, there are plenty of people in this country who would vote for it.

Then it actually happened.

The Republicans aren't even offering thoughts and prayers for the people they are denying SNAP benefits.

Maybe they are saving up the thoughts and prayers for the next school shooting.
