Hello, I have found a clean laundry to bless with my furs.

This is so inhumane‼️ These unhoused people at the lowest point in their life and then this happens to them‼️

Whether you are from Hawai’i or South Carolina, we are bound by our love for the land.

Despite our differences, we love our families.

Regular hard working people don’t want to profit off our beloved land, we just want to live on it.

Feckin' eejit. Never put the stupid in charge.

🤣🤣🤣

Happy Caturday from Isabel!

Everything I Read in July, 2025 July: 75. Wonder by E. J. Palacio - Well, that was a surprise. I have been aware of this book for many years but I never thought to pick it...

My monthly blog post with one-paragraph reviews of everything I read in July.

Finished last night. This version published in 1960 by Pocket Books has such a cool, pulpy cover. Originally published in 1939.

1/2 They’re not just making videos. They’re sounding the alarm.

Because the threat to American freedom isn’t just creeping in through politics—it’s marching in robes and crosses, cloaked in Christian nationalism, hell-bent on turning pulpits into pulpits of power.

This isn’t faith. It’s fanaticism

Today we are hanging out on the rooftop of our condo and also we don't want to be disturbed.

Trump: “I’m allowed to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell.”

Also Trump: “I’m the law and order candidate.”

Pick a lane, bro.

NIH is an amazing institution with first-rate scientists and we're losing them + valuable research and innovation because of schmucks like Vought who lie their a**es off in service of an agenda.

The real smash and grab…

🚨 Social Security is on the chopping block.

Thanks to Trump’s so-called “Big Beautiful Bill,” retirees are now staring down $18K/yr benefit cut in just seven years.

• The poverty rate for seniors will double

Billionaires got their tax break, though.

I'm at the " Oh, hell, I'm never going to finish, am I?" stage of organizing my library.

Nothing like saying it out loud.

Watch every second of this.

Our worst fears are here. With Trump’s new bill, the police state is no longer looming—it’s official.

Expect more raids on a massive scale, shattered families, and a brutal crackdown on humanitarian protections.

10 of the best genre-bending Booker Prize-nominated novels | The Booker Prizes If you enjoy innovative books that switch between genres, play with forms, and generally turn the reader’s expectations upside down, this list is for you

The novel that pretends to be a biography of its own author after his death; a story in the form of a report on Earth by aliens; a book that runs backwards and forwards; one that runs entirely backwards; and more.

I wrote about some of the genre-bending novels from @thebookerprizes.com library:

By 2029 the GOP may have entrenched their coup by "legal" methods

Gerrymandering-permitted by MAGA judges

Changes in citizenship laws and deportations

Quashing dissent by jailing protesters

And radical "interpretation" of the Constitution

We still don't fully comprehend the danger America faces

Last two books read. Nathan Fillion encourages you to read both. The Persephone is High Wages by Dorothy Whipple. Musical Tables by Billy Collins is a collection of short poems.

I presume she hasn't ever seen FEMA do anything, in that case.

🤣🤣🤣

You're welcome!

Last 2 books read. Thieves' Dozen was found while doing a major book purge in my home library. Comedic gold, IMHO, short stories about hapless thief John Dortmunder.

Bluets is prose poetry about the color blue. I wanted less of her s*x life, more depth to certain things like literary references.

Yes, yes. so many innocent lunches with a notorious sex trafficker, says the man who paid millions for sexual harassment. Why is Cuomo nodding? Meanwhile, people are being kidnapped off the streets and put in concentration camps. But we should let rapists off the hook because what, now?

Lordy.
