I grew up around church folk who claimed the civil war was about states’ rights and not slavery (Narrator: “It was about states’ right to own slaves.”), but many of the same church folk are part and parcel with this administration’s tyranny.

Twice in less than a week, I have seen artists’ renderings of Stephen King and my brain interpreted them instead as Janet Reno. What did Janet do to my brain as a child that imprinted her so strongly on my psyche?
This says far more about me than it does about the art I saw.

How am I just learning that emperor penguins can be like 4’ tall?? Holy shit, I want to stand next to one. Safely. Primarily for them. I would accept harm from a 4’ penguin.

For as much as they claim to hate communism, they’re certainly taking a lot of pages out of the Soviet Union’s playbook.
They are building a Propaganda State.
They are cooking the books on job creation.
Now they are rigging death numbers so no one knows how many people die because of their attacks on vaccines and science.

Passed a car stopped in the middle of the lane today in a residential area. Driver started to creep forward as a I passed and then followed me through a couple turns. True crime instincts had me on hyper alert but it was fine. Why do I give myself anxiety triggers for fun??

In speculative language development news: I feel like the invention of the transporter would lead to a steep decline in the casual use of "wish you were here" as a message sign off.

Regardless of holding to what I feel are progressive ideals, I both drink milk and enjoy the taste of original Pepto Bismol, so let that temper your expectations of me accordingly.

I’ve been watching a lot of “I Like to Watch” on the Still Watching Netflix channel on YouTube. Netflix’s caption department has been killing it for a few years now, but here’s some of my favorites from this show, 🤣.

This may have been said before, but @trixiemattel.bsky.social ‘s voice, humor, mannerisms, and (out of drag) looks are a blend of Ryan Reynolds and Dan Levy in the best ways. Y’know, maybe it’s the edible, but I’m gonna die on this hill. I’ve lived a good life 😂.

So many women I know would agree with this. I am welling up with tears based on stories I have heard where women were not supported and/or doubted, even many years later.

My record on Palestine speaks for itself. I’m proud of it. One of the strongest in Congress. I throw down for pro-Palestine candidates. Largely unrecognized work. That’s fine. Disagreements are fine, too. But if you want to toss all that for 1 half assed MTG stunt, be my guest. I know where I stand.

And infamous “Christian” financial “advisor” D*ve R*msey includes off-shore tax sheltering as a must in his FPU program. Guess that whole thing Christ said about “render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s” was only applicable to poor folk.
Hey, remember when the Panama Papers were released and they showed how basically every wealthy person on the planet was avoiding taxes by offshoring their money and nothing was done about it except the reporter who broke the story was murdered with a car bomb?

Ex-farm worker here.
We need to talk about this whole "But a living wage for farm workers would spike the cost of food!" thing.
Not true AT ALL.
Y'all don't understand how fast experienced farm workers are.
The average tomato picker pulls 650lbs per hour.
At $20/hr, that's $0.03/lb for labor.

Remembering Chevalière d'Éon for Pride. A transgender woman in the 1700s who was also a spy and who turned double agent, extorted an entire monarchy to get her gender marker changed, and lived her life as a woman in a time when such was thought impossible.

I've had a weird installation issue with Microsoft Mahjong for quite awhile and only just fixed it. Interesting that ALL the ads before and during matches are for: alzheimers, erectile dysfunction, age-related memory issues, orthopedic shoes for age 60+ and SS/Medicare. How old does MS think I am? 😅
