Lazy Leslie Knope

If they had just shared the lake to begin with (you know, like state law dictates) they wouldn’t be in this position to begin with. Now the unwashed masses are going to come sully their fancy pants lake and they’re big mad. 😂

She’s been garbage for a long time, but I’m also not surprised aging Gen Xers are morphing into this

I had to look him up because I couldn’t remember which VJ he was. Definitely not a shocking evolution.

I did not know this, but I found the “go back to theaters” speech very tone deaf and not addressing the issues why people aren’t seeing movies the way we used to. Makes more sense why he’d have such a bad take now.

I wonder if his ski pants are as short as his suit pants 😄

Taking dad to the VA for an appointment today. I was honestly surprised that Trump/Hegseth’s portraits aren’t up in the lobby. Not sure if they’re just behind, if they don’t want to put them up, or if they haven’t been sent since they’re screwing the VA and don’t want to remind the veterans.

7 day weather forecast with a mostly sunny days and 67 degrees on Friday.

67 degrees on a Friday. Portlanders are going to lose their goddamn minds tomorrow.

Seriously, journalists do not have to validate a demonstrably false claim. The KKK is not a public safety organization. The 2020 election was not stolen. DOGE is not about efficiency. Do not repeat the lies.

At this point I can only assume that the devil doesn’t want him either and is trying to prolong the inevitable for as long as possible.

This is the energy more leaders need to be bringing to this fight.

THEN DO SOMETHING, SENATOR. IT’S LITERALLY YOUR JOB.

Tomato prices are actually the least of my concerns right now. My biggest one is that Trump and Musk are executing every part of Project 2025 and you don’t seem to get it or want to even attempt to call it out. Lead or get out of the way.

Hey so I don’t actually want to find common ground with fascists or anyone who is willing to turn a blind eye to what is happening, kthxbi

shouts to all the media outlets who uncritically parroted him when he said he didn’t know anything about the same Project 2025 he’s now implementing

Everything is so heavy right now. I keep thinking about how we need to find joy and hope because those are acts of resistance but it’s not easy in this moment. But they want us to give up and give in, and that is not an option.

Update: I was able to find the $40 one for $13 on Etsy. There is always hope.

Did I scroll through the replies just to feel something? Yes, yes I did.

RIP TikTok. Even when you come back you won’t be what you were.

What did I say?

BREAKING: Trump tells NBC News that he will "most likely" give TikTok a 90-day extension on Monday.

The CEO of TikTok going to the inauguration and posting videos praising Trump’s protecting of the first amendment. People are already seeing a message to merge their TikTok to their Facebook or Instagram accounts. This has been in the works all along.

Here’s my #TikTok prediction no one asked for. It will go down on Sunday, but then some time next week Trump will announce he’s orchestrated a deal to have Meta take over. TikTok will lose what made it special once Meta gets its grubby hands on it, but Trump will be hailed as a hero for saving it.

Thank you for asking this, because I couldn’t answer it initially. But then I sat with my daughter and cuddled her and talked about her day. I appreciate the reminder to stay grounded and present.

I have spent the last few years slowly building up my collection of all 131 original Baby-Sitters Club books. These are the last two I need and I refuse to pay this much. Finding these two books in the wild at a reasonable price will be my white whale. #BabySittersClub

TikTok users moving to the Chinese app Red Note because we are refusing en masse to go back to Meta platforms is truly a beautiful level of spite I did not see coming.

That guilt you feel about not being able to support every GoFundMe for folks who are suffering?

That’s actually rage at a corrupt system refusing to support its people - a rage carefully steered away from the system so you struggle with yourself & not with the institutions that deserve it

Also - please spend time deciding how you are going to engage with the content this administration and the complicit media are going to be putting out from here on out.

Our nervous systems are precious resources and keeping them in a hyper-reactive state is BAD-real bad. We need to be intentional.

I couldn’t have come up with a better metaphor going into 2025 if I tried.

Nothing is more entertaining than a good old fashioned workplace email reply all debacle.

Whoops, it’s Franchesca. My apologies.
