There once was an adviser named Miller
Who thought of himself as a killer
But when they opened him up
he was meek as a pup
With mostly just nasty rag filler

I’m calling it a nap but I’ve really just taken to my bed today

I come from a long line of women who take to their beds when they have HAD IT.

all i want is to one day own a modest sized home in a walkable neighborhood and raise money for shelter animals. wear an outfit i like, walk to the grocery store, buy some nectarines, feed cats, and live in peace. just don't understand why achieving this is so hard

For God’s sake let us sit upon the ground
And tell sad stories of the death of kings:
How some have been depos’d, some slain in war,
Some haunted by the ghosts they have deposed,
Some poisoned by their wives, some sleeping kill’d,

That entire display in the Oval Office today was embarrassing, abhorrent & repugnant. I can’t watch nor repost all the madman-esq behaviors from today. When will we as a Nation stand up collectively & with our whole chests say β€œThe emperor has no clothes” ?? Will we ever ?? #WTFAmerica #HandsOff

the chief engine and joy of my life is satisfying curiosity, but in these bleak days where every bit of news is so harsh, i find myself more and more burying myself in the past and in fiction to satisfy those urges

My extra-fluff tabby does this with the bathroom cabinet (to get inside and maul the toilet paper). She makes an emphatic statement (of her innate superiority) by letting the door slam behind herself, then head-butts her way out - it's burlesque with whiskers.

"WE'VE ARRANGED A society based on science and technology, in which nobody understands anything about science technology. And this combustible mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces. Who is running the science and technology in a democracy if the people don't know anything about it?"
"Science is more than a body of knowledge, it's a way of thinking. A way of skeptically interrogating the universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility. If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then we're up for grabs for the next charlatan, political or religious, who comes ambling along."

I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.

The biggest thing we need to do is let people know that the protests are FUN. Yelling fuck the man is fun. You will meet fun people.

We also need to make them more fun. Bring grills like the French. Bring instruments like it’s Mardi Gras. Give people a reason to spend their weekend in the streets.

Among the many errors this administration has made: 2019 was not the Biden administration. The VP tweets without first checking for obvious errors. If they make the easy ones, they're making the more subtle, less obvious ones too.

ripples.
when you create a difference in someone's life, you not only impact their life, you impact everyone influenced by them throughout their entire lifetime.
no act is ever too small.
one by one,
this is how to make an ocean rise.

Hey, Jasmine. Keep calling him out. It's got to dawn on them soon that all his "owning the libs" will wind up owning them. When the leopard starts eating THEIR faces, when THEY feel the cuts & restrictions, when THEIR kids' futures are in peril - they should be angry enough to turn on him.
