I love when my dashboard lights up like, "hey girl, it's slippery af out here, settle down." I always listen.
The traction control dashboard light is an amber icon of a car with wavy lines underneath.

They don't care what we think of what they say. They only care that maga falls for it again.
Text reads: Paladino: Trump played chess. Today was brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. I will tell you this, this guy has got a lot of answering to do when he comes back to New York. Because he has got the DSA types that are going to hold his hands over the fire for taking a meeting with Trump let alone come out of it buddy, buddy. I think Trump was brilliant. Image shows: New York City Councilwoman Vicki Paladino in a panel on the left and Donald Trump with Zohran Mamdani in the Oval Office on the right.

Not to sound like a self help weirdo or a therapist, but I really do recommend getting outside. #mentalhealth #iowa
Wooden stairs covered in leaves leading up a tree covered hill in Margo Frankel Woods State Park in Iowa. The foliage on the ground is mostly green. The leaves on the trees are mostly yellow with some green. The leaves that have fallen are mostly yellow and brown. A bit of blue sky can also be seen.

I check Twitter to harvest memes. Sometimes it's worth it.
A Tweet from Al Franken that says Is JD Vance a liar or just woefully ignorant when claiming that Democrats want to give health benefits to undocumented immigrants?

A reply from user Joey Martin I think that would be you...perhaps you illiterate former senators could do yourself a favor and read the legislation you propose hommie...or just @grok it. Here it's easy! Grok can you help our illiterate friend? Don't worry someone will read it to him. 9:06 AM · Oct 2, 2025 · Grok replies Under current U.S. law, undocumented immigrants are ineligible for federal health programs like Medicaid or ACA subsidies. Democratic proposals in the recent shutdown debate seek to restore access for lawfully present immigrants, not undocumented ones. Fact-checks from sources Show more Joey Martin replies You sure because I'm pretty sure VP Vance shared a tweet with an actual screen shot showing kine items covering illegal health care? Joey Martin asks You sure because I'm pretty sure VP Vance shared a tweet with an actual screen shot showing kine items covering illegal health care? Grok replies Yes, Vance shared a post referencing screenshots of a Democratic proposal to repeal parts of a 2025 law (Public Law 119-21) that restricted Medicaid eligibility for certain lawfully present immigrants, like parolees and asylees. However, fact-checks from sources like FactCheck.org, AP, and NBC confirm this doesn't extend benefits to undocumented immigrants, who remain ineligible under U.S. law. The claim conflates legal statuses.

My beastie has her appetite back, but she's still on gravy and bisque. I need to learn to make my own before we have to sell feet pics. #catsky #petsky
A black cat perches on the edge of the middle shelf of a tall bookshelf. The shelves are full of books and some CDs. A globe that looks like a mirror ball and an hour glass are also visible.

Feeding my elderly cat has become a full time job. I rotate through dishes as she tries different foods. Like a toddler, she loves them and then loses interest in them quickly. I feel like the smell is stuck on me. #petsky
A black cat has her face bent towards a raised, red food dish that is painted to look like a mushroom. Beside her is a matching dish in orange. Her front paws are in a beige mat that is under the dishes. Under the mat is a multicolor rag rug.

With A Vengeance is probably my least favorite of Riley Sager's books, but I still had a good time reading it. The story was convoluted, and the writing had a juvenile feel to it at times. I may be judging it too harshly because it didn't meet the high expectations I have for Sager's books.
The image displays the cover of a novel With a Vengeance by Riley Sager, a New York Times Bestselling Author, known for The Only One Left. The cover features a train traveling over a bridge at dusk with a round, red sticker on the right side that says "HOT TITLES NO HOLDS" in yellow. There is another sticker from the Des Moines Public Library Central branch on the left. with The book is described as a suspense thriller with twists and turns.

L.T. Thompson is a local librarian!
Inside book jacket Remy wants to rescue her father. Cas wants to finally be himself. Finn wants to get the girl. Nineteenth-century Massachusetts high society isn't kind to anyone who doesn't conform to its norms. For years, Remy, Cas, and Finn have done their best to blend in. But when they find themselves targeted by an evil magical society, they'll have to find the strength to stand out. When a prophetic vision sets the three of them on a collision course, they embark on a journey that will take them aboard a ship of queer smugglers, into the path of a demon, and inside a sinister stronghold of dark magic. Together, they'll confront hidden secrets and face deadly odds-and, hopefully, find out who they truly are. Our Flag Means Death meets The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue in this exciting and emotional YA historical fantasy.

What are you reading? I'm reading "Devils Like Us" by L.T. Thompson. It's a teen book, but that's never stopped me, just as being a teen never stopped me from reading adult books.
My kids are reading "A Game Of Thrones" and the "Last Kids On Earth" series.

A stack of pink books is drawn on a pink background. There are two cups on either side with pink iced liquid and green straws. The whole image is covered in white and pink stars and symbols that give it the illusion of sparkling. About the books it says, "this and yappin' about books" A book, the title "Devils Like Us" takes up most of the cover. It is surrounded by an intricate, swirling border of dark red and black foliage and vines. There is a sword on the top left and a Des Moines Public Library sticker. A skeleton in a cloak sits in the tendrils on the top right. A skull and candle are on the bottom left, with a lighthouse above them. There is a ship on the bottom right. I'm the middle of the bottom it says the author's name, L.T. Thompson

HR1 (The Big Stupid Bill, or whatever you want to call it) was designed to delay the damage it causes so that people would still vote for the people who let it happen in the midterms. Don't fall for that.
THE BIG BEAUTIFUL DELAY Why You're Not Feeling the Bill-Yet White text on blue background reads: H.R.1 (The "Big Beautiful Bill') was designed to delay the damage until after the 2026 midterms. Here's what's coming... but not just yet: CUTS COMING AFTER THE ELECTION: Medicaid work rules - Dec. 2026 Food aid restrictions - Late 2026 Clean energy credits end - Mid to late 2026 Student loan changes - Gradually by 2026 Affordable housing cuts - Phased in post-2025 Rural hospital funding declines - Starts 2026 WHY IT'S DELAYED: Politicians want your vote before you feel the impact The harshest parts are hidden until after ballots are cast STAY ALERT. SPREAD THE WORD. KNOW WHAT'S COMING. Watch what's delayed-not just what's announced.

My hot take: The Pedro Pascal scandal was concocted by the monkeys in Lex Luthor's computer lab, and perpetuated by people who fell for their trolling.
Text from Facebook post reads: TL;DR: The Pedro Pascal scandal was concocted by the monkeys in Lex Luthor's computer lab, and perpetuated by people who fell for their trolling. Below it is a photo of a dark computer lab. There is a row of glowing computers with monkeys typing on them. It is a still from the new Superman movie.

I took it easy today. I have to be careful in the humidity. Easter Lake was perfect.
A lavender bicycle leans against the inside frame of a red covered bridge in a bike trail. There is a white bike helmet hanging on one handle bar and a small pink towel draped over the other. The sky is a bit grey, but the back of the bike trail is lit up. The covered bridge is surrounded by green foliage.

These mushrooms have been popping up all over my neighborhood this summer.
An adult hand hovers over a large white mushroom with grass below it. The mushroom cap is bigger than the hand. There are two bracelets on the wrist. One has square silver beads with the letters TTY visible and then a green bead, and the words "lights." The other has the letters INE visible, then a yellow bead, and the letters DAYDRE. (pretty lights and sunshine daydream) There is a turquoise peace sign ring on the pinkie finger. A large white mushroom stands in short grass with trees behind it in the distance.

I've been taking a lot of walks and bike rides to stay grounded. These photos are from the Grand View University campus in Des Moines. We were out playing Pokémon Go. It was helping more when the weather was reasonable.
Pink garden roses with the start of a pinkish sunset in the background. A few coneflowers can also be seen. Pinkish purple coneflowers against a bright cloudy sunset Two golden yellow lillies and another nit yet bloomed in a garden bed with mulch. In the distance there is a blurry sunset framed by trees.

If you like to judge a book by its cover, Barnes and Noble has a display table for you.
I was hanging out at the Jordan Creek location while I waited to pick up my mallrat and discovered they have a table for almost every kind of reader.
#booksky
A table stacked with colorful books. The outside pages of the books are also painted to match the covers. A book titled The Never List. The cover is a deep shade of purple with a gold emblem. The outer pages of the book are also painted purple with gold swirls. A book titled The Amalfi Curse. The cover is teal and dark blue with gold letters. The outer pages of the book are also painted teal with gold swirls. A black book with pink letters. The title is How To Survive A Horror Movie. The outside edge of the book is painted pink, as well.

I still have a few of these left in both English and Spanish if anyone needs them in the Des Moines Area. If your business serves immigrants, I can drop them off. I don't even mind a little drive if you have an actual need. Seriously.
Flyers being held up inside of a car. They say "don't open for ICE" and "ice out of our communities." In smaller print at the bottom they say, "ICE cannot legally enter your home unless they have a warrant signed by a judge. Usually, the agents will have the wrong kind of warrant or an incomplete one- if they have anything at all."

It feels like this year has gone very fast. I wonder why.
A child about 10 holding a stick with a handwritten sign that says spells out TRUMP with the words The Rotten Ugly Mind Poop. The child is surrounded by adults also holding signs. They are outside. A hand holding up a white poster board that says Trans People Belong In Iowa in sky blue, followed by a pink heart and circled in pink. Behind the sign you can see many people and more signs. The background is the rotunda of the Des Moines Capitol. People dressed in jackets, coats, hats, and gloves stand in front of the Des Moines Capitol holding homemade signs. "Musk hands off our $$$" and "Impeach Trump Third times a charm" are both visible. A man standing outside holds a homemade sign that says ICE release my union brothers. He is wearing a mask and sunglasses.

PBS News header with a photo of Target and a headline that says Target says it is ending its DEI goals and programs, citing an 'evolving external landscape'" Naptime Is For Raging Facebook post says Hy Vee jokes aside, I will never truly judge you for where you get your essentials. I came into adulthood cash poor, and I understand the choices that need to be made. That said, my challenge to all of us right now is to stop shopping for things we do not need. Borrow it. Barter. Trade with someone. Buy second hand. Check the buy nothing groups. Spend our money locally when possible. This isn't some new minimalist movement, though I would like to empty my house of all the junk we've previously consumed. There is almost no way to spend money in 2025 that isn't directly benefiting one asshole or another. So stop spending it. I'm already struggling with this, so please know I'm not here to judge anyone. This is just something I'm trying to do, that I thought I would share with you. But also we have to buy things like deodorant and tampons somewhere, and I never see that stuff on Etsy. A photo of a book page with the number 1 over an illustration of a woman chiseling stumps of wood into the shape of men. A man naps on a hammock behind her. Above the illustration it says "do not obey in advance." Below the illustration it says, "most of the power of authoritarians is freely given. In times like these individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do."

It's more important now than ever to read the fucking article. I'm seeing so many people spread false information, which only spreads more fear, and creates more distrust. Don't be afraid to call me out if I mess up. Be gentle with each other, but expect the truth. #rtfa #factcheck #disinformation

They can do whatever they want because we need their platforms. Stay, but start making a backup plan now. Transfer your photos. Make new accounts. Exchange contact information. Be prepared to leave. Most importantly, critically evaluate what you're being shown, even from trusted sources. Even me. Information is moving quickly."

Photo of Pamela Hemphill over two quotes "Accepting a pardon would only insult the Capitol police officers, rule of law and, of course, our nation," she said. "I pleaded guilty because I was guilty, and accepting a pardon also would serve to contribute to their gaslighting and false narrative."
