August can’t manage words more complicated than “nana” for banana, so you’re safe.

My gramma in law who followed her Dad in secret, intending to shoot him if she caught him cheating.

Ok I’m dressing kiddo as a hobbit for Halloween, please come chase him; it will be a good time for everyone.

I need twelve volumes of manga about this dude and this sword.

I don’t have faith, but I was raised Catholic. I am a bit awed by this still. If you’re Christian, this should shake you. It does give me hope to see people fight like this.

#Boston. Good day to protest at #ICE tomorrow!

It was all a long game. We made the frogs gay so they could become antifa super soldiers in Portland.

If I were to win a big lottery, i would dedicate my money to ruining Thiel.

Gosh I wish I could meet this man face to face.

I’m. So. Tired.

I don’t just want you to pay attention to Chicago because I want you to understand our plight. I want you to see how hard people are fighting and know wtf you’re made of. We’re not just fighting for this place. This is for all of us.

Doomscroll break, my mother’s garden. 40 years of working on a thing really bears fruit (literally here).

I committed a Bluesky sin and reposted a ragebait asshole. I got got. But this isn’t my first shutdown. Last time my husband built a deck during an extended shutdown. This time I’m gonna make him actually rest. It’s been horrible for him.

I wish this was real, I’d fuck off and farm bougie shit for restaurants; fuck these morons.

When most of the OR agrees that yelling “Goddammit YourName” does not constitute swearing at someone.

Today I assembled the toddler potty with grim determination.
