“As the beheadings continued to roll,
French market women
brought knitting along—
an early form of multi-tasking.”

Just published in Book of Matches, Issue 15! online.fliphtml5.com/qoqiq/pdvr/#...

🪓 “Heads Up, Paris!” is my ode to the French Revolution—with flying carrots, mini guillotines, and more dark humor even the French would love!

Thanks for all the years of speaking truth to power & finding the funny in fascism.

You are 💯 correct. They were hate votes. Nothing more, nothing less.

Dow Drops 1,600 In Biggest Wipeout Since 2020 After Trump’s Tariffs Shock The double-digit tariff hikes rippled through world markets and economists are warning that the risk of recession is climbing.

As Trump tanks the economy, he knows he and his billionaire buddies will be fine no matter what.

If you and your family have more to lose, make sure your member of Congress hears from you.

Wow…

Ukraine is a sovereign nation under attack from an invading adversary. I stand with President Zelenskyy and the people of Ukraine. #ukraine #freedom

Education is an act of resistance. Reading freely is an act of resistance. #resist #booksky 💙📚 #readersofbluesky #authors #books #reading 🌈📚

I am following you now. Keep up the great work! 💙

For all the unfair characterizations of women as being subpar “DEI” hires, most of the BEST managers I've ever reported to were women.

I can think of TWO highly-qualified Women in particular who aren't convicted felons who would be a TRILLION times better than the buzzard in the Oval Office.

Yes, please. The depression and suicide rates among our underrepresented teens is unacceptable. 🌈💙

I will no longer use any of their products. This is ludicrous, not to mention irresponsible.
