Twitter post of María Corina Machado. It reads: "This recognition of the struggle of all Venezuelans is a boost to conclude our task: to conquer freedom. We are on the threshold of victory and today, more than ever, we count on President Trump, the people of the United states, the peoples of Latin america, and the democratic nations of the world as our principal allies to achieve freedom and democracy. I dedicate this prize to the suffering people of Venezuela and to president Trump for his decisive support of our cause!"

Trump Truth Social post reads: "Good luck to the Great people of Canada. Elect the man who has the strength and wisdom to cut your taxes in half, increase your military power, for free, to the highest level in the World, have your Car, Steel, Aluminum, Lumber, Energy, and all other businesses, QUADRUPLE in size, WITH ZERO TARIFFS OR TAXES, if Canada becomes the cherished 51st. State of the United States of America. No more artificially drawn line from many years ago. Look how beautiful this land mass would be. Free access with NO BORDER. ALL POSITIVES WITH NO NEGATIVES. IT WAS MEANT TO BE! America can no longer subsidize Canada with the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars a year that we have been spending in the past. It makes no sense unless Canada is a State!"

Hi Catherine! Please don't forget to add ALT text to your images. Here is a copy of the rant with the Alt text added. 🙂

This was my dinner. Fuck it Friday!
A glass with an ice cube and a few ounces of a clear liquid, a bottle of tequila called "Cascahuin", and a purple box of Annie's shells and white cheddar Mac and cheese

Oh I dunno probably because of this
Screenshot of a post uploaded by The Washington Post newspaper. Excerpt of the article says: "President Donald Trump's economic plan is causing brief pain while the nationally advances to a new "Golden Age". But officials have been much less clear about what that destination will look like". The article headline underneath the excerpt reads, "Trump has a plan to remake the economy. But he's not explaining it very well."

It didn't say anything deep or meaningful. But it was one of the kindest things a stranger has ever done for me. I carried that note with me for years. It now lives in my box of treasures.

Also, she was right. Everything did work out. 🥹
A piece of lined paper that has been torn from a book. It has creases on it that show it has been folded into quarters. In blue pen, a handwritten message says "good luck with everything! I'm sure it will all work out", along with a hand-drawn happy face.

We all have an emotional support dead famous guy and who he is says a lot about you
Photo of comedian George Carlin. He's an older white man with a white beard. He's standing and looking at the camera with a serious (perhaps inquisitive) look on his face, and his mouth slightly open. He's holding one hand up near his chest, and kind of making the ok sign with his thumb and index finger. He's wearing a black long-sleeve shirt.

This is an excellent statement in response to Trudeau stepping down. Relatedly, I wish the NDP had not decided to go with "trying to look strong by slinging mud and kicking your opponents while they're down" as their strategy. Another missed opportunity, IMO. One of many.
Statement from the Leader of the Green Party of Canada January 06, 2025 OTTAWA - This morning, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau finally admitted the inescapable conclusion that he had to step aside to make room for new leadership. The fact that the announcement could surprise no one is to admit the obvious—over the last year, but particularly the last few weeks since December 16, the decline in his support has been painful to watch, like a slow-motion train wreck. But the partisan and political moment should not distract from the basic human things that should be said. Justin Trudeau was never groomed to fill his father's shoes. As a young man, he did not seek out a future in politics—he decided to be a teacher. As the Liberal Party was knocked so far back following the 2011 election, the MP for Papineau was assigned the far rear corner of the chamber of Centre Block, sitting with me, the first Green MP, and the then-small remnants of the Bloc, with four MPs. I know how he struggled with the decision of whether to run for Liberal leader, weighing how it might impact his personal life. He was being recruited as someone who could rescue the Liberals. A majority win was not a likelihood. If anyone knew what it would mean for his children if he were to become PM—as the child of a PM—Justin Trudeau knew. I have observed for many years how he has consistently prioritized his family’s time and his children. To say public service is a sacrifice is to state the obvious. For that, and especially at a time when basic civility has eroded to where he could be attacked verbally and rudely in front of his youngest on a Christmas holiday, underscores how hard that public service has become. So no matter how Liberal broken promises variously sadden me and make me very angry indeed, those are points to be made in the 2025 election. Today, I want to thank Justin Trudeau for his service to his country and wish him and his family much happiness and peace in the years ahead.

Agreed. Also, here's the statement with ALT text added. You can set your settings to remind you to add it (I love this accessibility feature!)

Update: I think I have reached a critical point. Tomorrow I will ignore all my chores and instead I will repot big mama and decide what I'm doing with the ~20 new plants I have rescued form the plant Borg.

I'm quitting my job and joining #PlantSky this is my new life now.
Dozens of aloe plant pups lined up on a pink and white striped towel, spread across a coffee table. At the far end of the table are a few more aloe plants sticking out of some medium-sized terracotta pots. To the right of the table is a pile of plant debris on a wood floor. A large aloe plant being held up by a woman's hand. It is loosely planted on one side of a large terracotta pot that sits on a wood floor.

Look how chaotic this plant has become! It's horrific and monstrous and undefeated. It's 22 years old and it will not be contained.
Aloe plant sitting on wood floor with several very large offshoots pouring out the sides of the pot and growing downward in different directions.

Well I just found out what happens when unchecked ADHD meets unskilled gardener meets overgrown aloe plant.

Spoiler: I am now doing the most rational thing I can think of, which is wait for my husband to get home and help me fix it.
Overgrown aloe plant on a wood floor, with large stems and offshoots growing haphazardly from the pot in all directions. Next to that is a coffee table entirely covered in more offshoots.

I joined Twitter in 2008. It was a small, humble account, but I loved it there! Well, I loved it there until it got ruined by bots and lunacy. Today I nuked my feed so Leon can't feed my 3947 tweets to his AI machine. I'm keeping my handle, though. I'll always be @staceroo, motherfucker!

Oh god no

Not the yachties

But then again maybe being rescued onto a superyacht wouldn't be the worst.

Current mood
Image of a scene from the movie Mean Girls, with three girls in a white convertible. Meme text says "get in, losers, we're going scrolling", which is a play on the movie's famous line "getting loser, we're going shopping". The driver is now wearing a blue butterfly hair clip, using an emoji similar to the Bluesky logo.

Oh also here are my cats. 🥹
