THIS!! For the sake of both your dog’s safety and the safety of anyone at the event who is afraid of dogs. If your dog is a needed service dog, consider whether or not your dog will be ok if something goes wrong.
Oh dear, I just heard someone on the radio say they're going to a No Kings event tomorrow and bringing their dog.
Please, don't bring your dog. Please. I don't care how good your dog is, please don't bring it just in case something goes sideways.

If you’re going out for #NoKings tomorrow, remember to bring sunscreen and water. Remember to wear comfy shoes and appropriate clothes for the weather. Leave alcohol and glass bottles at home. Be and stay peaceful and positive, even if agitators try to change that. Make it a good day to demonstrate.

Oh goodness! Found out today that by popular demand there *will* be a #NoKings rally in Carson City on the 18th! It’s out by the state Capitol from 8:30-10:30 am, so it shouldn’t conflict with Mark Twain Days. No Mobilize link yet, but a Facebook one: facebook.com/events/s/no-...

I know it’s been a while. I’m back to post about No Kings 2.0 on Oct. 18. In or near Western Nevada, there will be rallies in Reno, South Lake Tahoe, and Kings Beach. I also spotted ones in Elko, Hawthorne, and Mina. The map is here: www.nokings.org#map
No Kings
As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

September in this house was mostly me dealing with the last of the summer heat and waiting for fall to really kick in and watching my time management skills get worse while Mom tried to help and the cats just watched.

omg, a boat with 11 people in international waters gets an airstrike. The attackers say they were Venezuelan gang members with drugs, but what makes them think that or that they could do this?!?!? Help. Mental SOS.

Ok, Monday, Sept. 1, is Labor Day! Celebrate workers however you want. One option is a #WorkersOverBillionaires rally. There will be one in Truckee and one in South Lake Tahoe. There will also be an unaffiliated event in Reno, LaborFest 2025. Info in thread. Have a great Labor Day weekend!

20th high school reunion was kind of awesome, and I’m very glad I was talked into going. On the downside for the night, I found out that the only person I ever dated died a few years ago. There go my hopes of him being married and having kids.

With the combination of Mom, cats, heat, current events, wildfires near relatives, the reunion, and my usual worries, my executive function has decided to flee like Cruz to Cancun. I feel like the burnout will be nasty. Gurk.

I guess I’m going to my 20 year high school reunion in just over a week. I’m really nervous, and I’m hoping that people will be ok with me as I am. I found out a guy I once had a minor alterous squish one year died from cancer a couple years ago. RIP.

Ok, I didn’t see any Family First protests in Reno or Carson City, but there are a couple protests coming up. The first is at Greater Nevada Field in Reno at 5:15-6:45 pm tomorrow evening in honor of people who have been disappeared in the US. www.mobilize.us/mobilize/eve...
Disappeared in America: Remember the Missing · Mobilize
One month ago, we convened in Reno at the federal courthouse to protest the regime's Gestapo tactics of extrajudicial kidnapping and disappearance of immigrants (or anyone they sweep up).
On Friday,...

REMEMBER: All the "Don't use em-dashes" "don't use rule of three" advice because it makes your writing "look like AI" is because they stole actual writers work, and their "predict the next thing" stuff just simulates what WE FUCKING DO. Keep writing well. Use every style and trick you have. Fuck AI.

Good source if you’re as unfamiliar with it as I was.
It was a popular colloquial antisemitic slur when he was a kid in the 1950s
The aforementioned 1950s collection of “schoolyard wit and wisdom” informed the reader that “Today, children colloquially refer to a Jew as a Yid, Shylock, or Hooknose”

Ok, I’m very much ignorant of plenty of slurs for all kinds of people, but I do like a bit of Shakespeare. I know that the way Shylock was written and treated in The Merchant of Venice was antisemitic. Trump of all people referencing Shakespeare to be antisemitic is too surreal.

Republicans in Congress have structured the most painful benefit cuts in their budget bill to kick in AFTER the 2026 midterms.
But the tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy? Those begin immediately.

Amodei voted for the passage of the budget reconciliation bill. Once again, he showed us that he doesn’t care about his constituents, and he is ready to sacrifice our health and lives so he can keep courting power. Don’t forget what he did today.
