Pearl Harbor memorial makes me cry every time.
Some of the tourists piss me off, TBH. Some don’t seem to understand it’s the scene of a MCE (mass casualty event). Many wouldn’t look my husband in the eye the day we were there.

As you’re preparing for your Thanksgiving meal, remember the skilled work it took to get that food to your grocery store.

Tell us your favorite Thanksgiving dish, and we can share some of what we know about the work behind the ingredients.

I’m so damn proud to be a Californian today! Most days, actually, but especially today. I may be a transplant but damn it’s good day to be a Californian.

The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP

You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670

Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem

If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy?

You’re doing their dirty work.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

"Pablo" is picking oranges in Woodlake, CA. He shares, "We fill around 5 bins in a 6 hour work day. The work is very hard on the bodies as they have to go up and down a 16 foot ladder while carrying a sack of oranges that weighs 60lbs-80 lbs." #WeFeedYou

I’m in the process of completing required annual training for work. The training quote SAHMSA, CDC, and FDA. It is hard to do my job well and safely without those institutions. I prefer to do my job well and safely as a SUD therapist. Lives depend on it, including mine (infection control).

@lodgecastiron.bsky.social I just used some VERY diluted soapy, hot water on our Lodge cast iron pan and my husband crashed out. I’m talking full on STEMI or stroke. Please help me explain that I have not ruined it. Picture for proof of life. Thank you!

"I am a Trump supporter, but I just don't think the raids is the answer," he [Robertson] said.
I believe this is the FAFO part.

Her mom was a farmworker. She never came home. ICE took her, tortured her, and forced her to sign her own deportation. Her daughter is still waiting.

This is the war on immigrants. The war on Indigenous people. The war on mothers.

ICE isn’t broken—it’s evil by design.

It’s time for California to secede. The military can pay fees to use the space/land at current market rates to keep their multiple bases or leave them. California will have their own military. Military members who disagree can be transferred to other bases on the dime of the other US military bases.

The US is burning down, but we got a puppy from a rescue anyway. More love, tenderness, and care can’t hurt, right? And, you guys…she’s so sweet. I’m a cat person but this girly here is adorable.
(Yes, she has a hot spot that’s being taken care of w/vet care.)

I keep thinking about how, just before this past Xmas, I posted on a different platform that I felt like we were 1930s Germany. I was called all sorts of things in response. I was told I was tone deaf and overreacting.
Turns out I was more correct than I ever imagined.

This came to me in my drive home:
The military parade is an excellent chance for adversaries to take out huge amounts of the military’s weapons, equipment, and manpower, as well as mutilate streets that are around/near the nation’s capital.
This seems like a bad idea—for other, obvious reasons.

If you're heading to a protest tomorrow, it's important to know your rights. Consult this information from the ACLU.

Be peaceful. Be safe. Be careful. Be strong.

I live next to the HOA pool and hot tub. There are some high school boys in there talking loud enough for me to hear.
From what I can tell, boys don’t actually think about girls other than sex.
This (re)revelation hits different now. It really never was about me.
