Yes please ❀️ Our state has become so hateful under DeSantis, we must stand up to them. Remember we ARE a swing state even if we've gone more red recently. Show them with your dollars πŸ’Έ we don't stand for this.
With love,
A Floridian.

What the actual hell?! A close Trump advisor and MAGA figure just posted, β€œAlligator lives matter. The good news is alligators are guaranteed 65 million meals if we get started now.” This is disgusting, it’s genocidal language. Dehumanizing, dangerous, and unacceptable. How is this even real life?

The way we were treated at Delaney Hall is almost unbelievable. ICE shoved me, manhandled @repbonnie.bsky.social, and arrested Mayor Baraka.

They disrespected us and tried to stop us from conducting the oversight we’re elected to do. But we’ll never back down in our fight for what is right.

Day 491:
Finished this awesome trilogy by Brynne Weaver. I'm sad it's over honestly, but she did leave a hint for her next book in the epilogue. So we'll see ;_;
Serial killer ladies fall for murderous men who are protective & most if not all the victims deserve it. So. Good. #booksky

$14 is barely enough for the drive thru, I wouldn't delete it anyway but you'd have to come up off a lot more for me to even consider it.

When one neurodivergent friend sends another neurodivergent friend their late in the day first meal of the day & that friend realizes they haven't eaten either so they do.... an angel gets its wings or something I'm pretty sure πŸͺ½ Read it in a book somewhere.

Last 3 Finishes:
April 28th: Fifty Shades of Grey, that 2 star review is from 2012 imported from Goodreads LOL. My opinion didnt really get any better this time around. Maybeee a 2.5/3 lol?? Really only reread it so I had a more recent memory to draw from for Christian's Pov trilogy.

April 24: The Stars Too Fondly, this was very cute. I wanted more from it honestly, I dont know what it is I wanted though. I really enjoyed it overall though. Would recommend. 

April 18th: Between the World & Me, incredible read truly. I think everyone should read it at least once.

1. I acknowledge Fifty Shades is not well written & bad BDSM rep. I am still going to reread it so I can read Greys POV trilogy for the first time. If I can do the whole thing; that would be a first. 🀣 We'll see.
2. The Stars Too Fondly was really cute ❀️ I wanted more.

ICE has begun raiding the homes of American citizens. A widely shared story out of Oklahoma describes a disturbing incident where a woman and her children were dragged into their yard half-naked. Reports are mounting across multiple states of agents targeting the wrong properties.

I'm homeless,disabled, & queer.
If 22 people could find $20 to help me, I'll be able to make it another month, & I can continue working to help my homeless, disabled, & queer neighbors & myself, & working my way through the healing process towards being less dependent.
Please help me be seen.

'Lab Leak,' a flashy page on the virus' origins, replaces government COVID sites The new page emphatically promotes a theory that many scientists question. Meanwhile, basic information about COVID testing and vaccines has disappeared.

Addendum to this; I had to explain at work tonight that I often don't understand their jokes/sarcasm while repeatedly giving the same information to 3 different people. In the same chat. In a 5 minute span while trying not to get irritated or flustered.

I don't understand why this statement automatically means someone is infantizing you. People say it about anyone & everyone they like on the internet as a way of saying they don't want anything bad to happen to them especially those that are kind or sweet.

This is where I'm at with playing polite with politics anymore.
At this point, I consider these acts & ones like them as a threat of harm to my life & my daughters.
Politicians who don't stand up to this shit & the Trump cult are TRAITORS to the American people & deserve jail & far worse.
