I was a physicist, once. Ms./Miss. I try to be kind, despite overflowing with snark. From Utah, but currently in Juleptown.

I’m getting close to having to mute on “Larry Summers” because I can barely stand to hear that awful shit yet another time.

Trying to dream up a casserole with roasted veggies, beans and cheese under a cornbread blanket. I’ll make it up out of thin air if I have to, but I’d love to have a recipe to work with.

Alice Wong fought tirelessly against institutionalizing disabled people.

She understood that we deserve autonomy over our care.

That healthcare is a basic human right and people should receive the support they need to remain in their homes & communities.

Fight for universal healthcare now!

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

You can think it’s good that Massie and MTG are stirring up shit within the GOP caucus without thinking their politics in general is good. It’s not hard at all in fact?

If anyone believes that cutting out tariffs on inflated-price goods is going to result in returning consumer prices to previous lower levels—tell me, so I can have a good sardonic laugh.

Just occurred to me that every voting step along the way—House floor vote, Senate cloture vote, Senate vote, veto announcement, votes to (possibly) override the veto in House and Senate—is going to keep “the Epstein files” in the public eye. And that’s just the predictable stuff!

“Should I catch the last half of the WASvPOR game? Why not?” says I. So I do, just in time to watch Croix Bethune walk one in.

When I hear a Dem politician go on about “identity politics,” I know I’m listening to to someone who is fully prepared to throw black people, disabled people, and trans people under multiple buses.

“With so many marginalized communities, we’re basically the oracles…we’re the ones who see shit before it happens.” In June 2020, I interviewed Alice Wong for TVU before she lost her ability to speak. I asked her how she’d first learned of SARS-CoV-2. She began with the 2016 election of Trump:

The UPS flights are (by the sound of them) coming in unusually low this afternoon. A little disconcerting, frankly.

Fuming over Megyn Kelly saying “barely legal” when she really meant “absolutely not legal but you can pretend they are, amiright?”

† Dogwood Scrubs is a nickname for the family home, alluding to the dogwood tree which is a prominent feature of the front yard, but also making a sly nod to the name of a notorious prison in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham (built 1875–1891, and still in use).

I am tired……

A bounty for people to come out and spew their hate rhetoric is truly disgusting.
From @karleighchardonnay.bsky.social at Outsports:

Jennifer Sey, who said the NWSL had “several males” has issued a $10,000 bounty to the next player to “speak out like Elizabeth Eddy.” An anonymous donor added $5000. Clay Travis said he’d double it.

NEAT.

There has to be a way, in any situation, to say “This article is both wrong and badly written” or “This opinion is wrong, inane, and being expressed by a silly person” without having to bring in mentions of death and dismemberment. That’s my opinion, anyway.

“The 2025 season didn't end how we had hoped ….” Really? Y’all said, “We’re going to playoffs,” and you played in the quarterfinals. As far as I can tell, all the stats were improvements over all previous seasons? I don’t see a lot of cause for disappointment there.

Well, it’s turned into another “Calgon, take me away!”* kind of day here at Dogwood Scrubs †.

I done 199 mortifying things in my life, but appearing in an Epstein email ain’t one of ‘em.
November 13, 2025 at 11:43 PM
Two things can be true:
1. That tranche of documents must contain a lot of ugly stuff, some of which taints Trump significantly.
2. If Access Hollywood and the E. Jean Carroll verdict and Stormy Daniels weren’t presidency-ending injuries, all of the Epstein ugliness won’t do it either.

It is so shamefully dangerous to be a teenage girl in this country. It is so shamefully dangerous to be a child, period. I'm not sure there could be a vaster gulf between the right's worshipful posture towards the capital-C Child and their brutish disregard for actual, living children.

The Speaker of the House shut the chamber down for two months to block the release of the Epstein Files and the president is huddled in the Situation Room of the White House to formulate a plan to keep them from being released, and I don't know why you crazy libs think there's some kind of cover up.

Just realized that if someone asks me on my deathbed what my biggest regrets are, I won’t be able to say a couple because I wouldn’t want family to hear me say those things.

Just saw that the new season of Deadloch has a drop date: March 20. I am delighted to know it’s coming back, but am also very bad at waiting for things.
