Why is it nearly impossible to reach my senators via phone call? Both their Washington offices and local offices have been unreachable for months, only taking voicemails. Perhaps they’re cowards. Perhaps they aren’t even pretending to work for the people anymore.

Another day in a USA comprised of so much fucking around and so little finding out…

I’m committed to calling my senators and reps daily, but I’m not sure which crisis I should begin addressing. Anyone have a top 5 list I could use as a starting point?

How’s your Saturday? My dystopian nightmare is sailing along nicely with Lex Luthor, the Penguin, and their merry band of fundamentalist nazi nerd-twats at the helm.

Last night, I watched The Matrix Resurrections. It wasn’t as much fun as you’d think. I kept trying to figure out which hellscape iteration our current existence matches most closely.

I made the mistake of looking at another social media app🤦🏽‍♀️, and the cognitive dissonance is so real right now. How do I and my ‘neighbor’ live in such different realities in a single moment? How do you ever bridge that gap? 🤷🏽‍♀️

Remember the Bradbury story “There Will Come Soft Rains?” All day long, the voice in my head has sounded like the animated house…Today is January 9, 2025…

Be on the lookout for the ‘burning of the Reichstag’ moment; it’s next in the playbook.

Moving the inauguration to the Rotunda was a calculated message to the insurrectionists of January 6, 2021. The symbolism of the attack and subsequent inauguration location makes this hallowed ground upon which the so-called patriots can glorify their violence and cement their power.

“Do not go gentle into that good night…Rage, rage against the dying of the light.” — The poetic words of Dylan Thomas are my hope for democracy in this country on the eve of what feels like a very dark next chapter of our history.

Lost home internet service and TikTok within hours of each other. While a new hub is on the way, I can’t help but feel targeted. This IS the bad place, the bad timeline, bad karma, something..,
