“Why is Jake Tapper such a dick?” In a font with serifs, one of two things I remember from the Hillary email leaks.

Happy Pride my friends. 💜
A plastic white porch goose sits on a concrete patio in front of a brown wicker table. They wear a rainbow cape/drape, rainbow beads, a trans flag kerchief with a silver butterfly pinned to it, red heart sunglasses, and has a rainbow of plumes attached to their neck fanning out across their back.

90% corrupt jackholes whether Dems or Republicans. Current one is a cop who had his corruption charges thrown out because he sucked up to the president. Current frontrunner is the disgraced sex offender former gov who spent public dollars subpoenaing his accuser’s gyn records. Trash.
Onion headline: “De Blasio: ‘Well, Well, Well, Not So Easy To Find A Mayor That Doesn’t Suck Shit, Huh?’” with a picture of former NYC Mayor Bill De Blasio wearing a navy suit with a light blue shirt and yellow tie with his right hand thrown up as he speaks into a microphone at a podium.

HIGHLY recommend.
A plastic porch goose wearing a homemade Easter Bunny costume, with white fur and a pink stomach. It has bunny ears that tie under the chin and holds a carrot made of sculpey.

My ability to articulate about this moment is gone but have a Nazi-fighting goose.
A plastic porch goose dressed as Indiana Jones, with a brown fedora, beige button down shirt, brown leather jacket, and brown satchel with a small Ukraine flag pinned to it. He holds a whip. He stands on a concrete patio next to a little chalkboard sign that says “Nazis. I hate these guys.” and is in front of a brown plastic “wicker” table and chair. This picture is a closeup from an angle.

The goose is forever topical.

Everything’s shit but I made a snow goose so there’s that.
A plastic porch goose sits in the snow in front of a tree trunk. She wears a white dress and hooded cape with silver snowflakes. It is trimmed in white fur with a silver overlay and the cape has a rhinestone clasp. A plastic goose stands majestically in a snowy wood, wearing a white dress and hooded cape with silver snowflakes on it, trimmed in white fur with silver. The light hits her in streams from the left.

2025 is gonna be a lot but I suppose Doctor Whoose is ready for it.

Some things are still fun.
A plastic porch goose dressed as Cousin Eddie from National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, in a white bathrobe with green trim, a hunter’s cap in black leather with green “fur”, and a regular white belt. He holds an orange tube and a cigar. The sign next to him says “Merry Christmas! S(omething) was full!” because you can’t just say “shitter” on a route that kids walk every day. He is on a cement patio with a crack in front of brown “wicker” furniture.

It is really hot out and I am overdressed for canvassing but I started this 60 house Alsobrooks turf on Waukesha Rd and I feel like that is some kind of a sign? I have had more actual contact with voters today than I have in ages and it has been overwhelmingly positive! GO VOTE AND VOLUNTEER.
A white woman in a black shirt that says “You don’t get what you don’t fight for” holds two pieces of green Angela Alsobrooks campaign literature with a hand with green nail polish. She has an Angela Alsobrooks pin and a Harris Walz pin and a Vote necklace. The picture is cut off at her chin.

MARYLAND WHY ARE THERE SO MANY 16 YEAR OLDS IN YOUR MINIVAN LISTS?!

Other than that, excellent turfs so far in Chevy Chase and Bethesda today! People are way more likely to take a second to talk about their plans than they have been other years-very little “I KNOW GO AWAY”.
A hand with teal nails holds two pieces of green Angela Alsobrooks campaign literature-one sticky note with voting info and one flyer that says Make a Plan to Vote with Angela’s face and voting details. The woman’s wrist has four friendship bracelets that say Bodily Autonomy in colored letters, Karma is a Cat Lady, Alsobrooks, Jamie Raskin, and Kamala.

Everyone is also stress-eating their way through Tuesday right? (Pictured: post-canvassing errands impulse purchases. This is not a rec for either bottle, I was not thinking very much so they might be shit.)
A pile of food and drinks on a beige carpet: a variety pack of large cookies, a pack of kitchen sink cookies, a bottle of Sea Salt Sauvignon Blanc, a bottle of Flybird Margarita, three lollipops, a bag of Utz fried dill pickle potato chips, a bag of Utz crab chips, a bag of Utz Red Hot chips.

Out for my last Virginia Dems shift in Alexandria and boy people are shockingly stoked to answer their doors for a canvasser this morning and really excited to report they have voted or will be voting? Usually people are so tired at this point. Being voters! Hell yeah Del Ray-adjacent neighborhood!
A white woman with only half her face and brown bob cut in shot, wearing a purple Vote Now hoodie with a Don’t Boo, Vote pin with a Swifties for Kamala design based on the Anti-Hero video. She holds campaign lit for Alexandria Dem City Council candidates and Harris/Walz. She stands in front of a telephone pole above the grassy strip between a sidewalk and the road.

No kids and currently no pets, but I made my porch goose an Agatha (All Along) Harkness costume!
A white plastic porch goose stands on a brown wicker patio table. The goose wears a dark blue long coat with purple cuffs and a white button down blouse with a cameo necklace. The goose has black hands meant to look like gloves, which hold balls of sculpey energy. She has a black wig with hair piled on top of her head. The aforementioned goose dressed as Agatha Harkness stands on a brown patio table between two chairs and on the concrete patio are three jack o’ lanterns with the Scarlet Witch tiara, the Agatha All Along logo, and “The Witches’ Road”.

The fluffy pens (I was mistaken) are a HIT. Everyone loves a fluffy pen.

I am super excited about these, I better get some dang trick-or-treaters.
A Jack-o-lantern with the Agatha All Along logo and a very annoying blemish above the G. It is lit and sits on a concrete patio in the dark. A Jack-o-lantern that says The Witches’ Road in script and has some spooky trees. It is lit and sits on a concrete patio with a leaf in the dark. A jack-o-lantern with a Scarlet-Witch-style headband, with two points similar to horns and a point that faces down in the middle. It is designed with small cutouts as if it was made of wire. The Witches’ Road Jack-o-lantern again inside, on top of newspapers, because the outside one did not show the whole thing well.

I designed and sewed an Agatha All Along costume for my porch goose and carved themed jack-o-lanterns!

She wears a black wig styled in an updo and a dark blue coat with purple cuffs, with black arms indicating gloves. She has a white button down shirt with a cameo necklace, and her hands have purple and gray balls of energy made of sculpey. There are three Jack-o-lanterns, showing a Scarlet witch headband, the Agatha All Along logo, and two trees around barely visible text that says “The Witches’ Road.” A close-up of a plastic goose statue sitting on a small brown wicker patio table on a concrete patio in front of glass doors.

I see the Madison Square Garden rally is like RACIST racist so! Here are pictures from this weekend’s Alsobrooks GOTV canvasses in Silver Spring and Bethesda, which were full of people excited to vote. Do some volunteering! It helps the anxiety!
Two pieces of GOTV campaign lit for Angela Alsobrooks, green and black with “Make a plan to vote” and “It’s time to vote!”, in front of a very autumnal street, trees, and sky.

62 GOTV doors in Bethesda today for Angela Alsobrooks! Had some really nice conversations and saw some great Halloween decorations. Drop your ballot or vote early starting on the 24th, Maryland!
A hand with five friendship bracelets and teal nail polish holds black and green campaign literature for Angela Alsobrooks that says “Make a Plan to Vote” and “it’s Time to Vote”. The friendship bracelets say Jamie Raskin with purple beads, Angela Alsobrooks with green and black beads, Kamala with blue/yellow beads, Karma is a Cat Lady with multi-color letters, and Bodily Autonomy with multi-color beads. The hand is over a sidewalk with leaves. It is in the shade.

Sterling: not my best shift! But still important and maybe I made the “undecided” voter lean our way. If anyone is in VA-10 please vote for Suhas!! Also please knock on some doors, canvassing really is fun, 95% of my shifts in 16 years have been good & the REALLY good experiences outweigh any crap.
A hand with teal nails and three friendship bracelets-an orange and black one that says Suhas, a red and blue one that says Harris ⭐️ Walz, and a red white and blue one that says Tim Kaine-holds a packet of campaign literature, one for Harris Walz, one for Tim Kaine and Suhas Subramanyam, above a paved road. It is sunny.

Throg joins Loki this year! Damn fiddly Mjolnir.
A white plastic porch goose dressed as Loki with a green, black and gold outfit and scepter and horns sits on a patio next to a brown wicker table. On the table is a green plastic frog dressed as Thor. Thor frog: a plastic frog dressed as Thor with a winged helmet, red cape, and small Mjolnir. Throg side-eyes Goose Loki.

Potomac today, for Angela Alsobrooks, after a quick and quiet canvass yesterday in Alexandria for Harris/Walz and Kaine! Why do rich people always hide their doors? It’s a guessing game out here. Please please go ahead and vote early for Angela and other Dems, Maryland, we will stop bugging you.

Why do I insist on walking large turfs? Too stubborn for my own knees’ good. Anyway out in spread out Rockville today for Angela Alsobrooks! Please drop your ballots asap or vote early when it is open, Maryland (and elsewhere), we will take you off our list.
