Yes, the blog is wonderful!

In seriousness, she probably got laid off recently and is on the job market trying to look "enthusiastic" and "dedicated".

I dunno, it all blurs together!

Can confirm it is nothing to get excited about, which is probably why there's so much coke involved.

For my spooky friends! This wonderful artist has a shop up now (maybe has for awhhile; I haven't been here enough and I'm probably behind). Check them out!

"Trump has liberated a lot of people from the last vestiges of the Sermon on the Mount. A lot of people turn out to have been sick and tired of pretending to be good." Wallace Shawn: "Developments Since My Birth" The New York Review of Books, October 27, 2020

Bingo. I always come back to this quote:

These remind me very much of a beautiful tarot deck I have. You might enjoy these artists.

2) He just thinks it's a waste of time to learn to play the physical instrument and learn to read and compose. He should be able to make music now, not after years of practice like some peasant!

1) It's resentment and envy. They can't accept that it takes time and effort to develop the skills and patience to work through all the trial and error. There was an article another person shared with me about a guy who created an "AI guitarist" of some kind.

All you really have to do is look at how he handled his loss in 2020. That made things plenty damned clear.

I think we could all use a happy time (besides the Marine le Pen news).

Today I used a bathroom that a trans woman also used simultaneously. We both emptied the fluids from our bladder, washed our hands, and reapplied our lip balm. It was touch and go for a minute, and I thought it may come to blows because her shoes were better than mine. But we all got through it safely, without incident.

Betrayed and frightened seem appropriate, if you're Muslim.

Pete Hegseth’s Arabic tattoo stirs controversy: ‘clear symbol of Islamophobia’ Critics say US defense secretary’s tattoo of the word kafir, meaning ‘infidel’ or ‘non-believer’ could offend Muslims

We need to stop using "offended" as the blanket term for any negative reaction. This kind of symbol undermines the trust that citizens of all faiths ought to have in their leaders. It's not just a stinky fart in a car

The US Government Is Not a Startup Elon Musk is moving fast and breaking things that can’t afford to be broken.

'Move fast and break things' doesn't work when it's an entire country.

So the only asylum seekers the US will now admit are White people from former apartheid South Africa.

I'm worried about my mom's Medicare coverage. And everyone's Medicare coverage. These people around Musk should be treated like looters.

WTF this bill has a clause that allows for it to be enforced immediately as an “emergency act”. These are the laws being written while you’re looking at the news. This is NOT being covered by the mainstream media. I know it’s hard to keep track of everything, but do your best. Visit your State’s site and search the bill (House and Senate) that are being discussed. Stay informed and share the information.

Oklahoma is NOT Okay. HB 1343 was introduced yesterday 2/3/2025 quietly. It is poised to immediately abolish State Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services and put the provisions under the Department of Corrections. YIKES!

Grand Rapids police ‘not in the business of immigration enforcement,’ chief says Grand Rapids Police Chief Eric Winstrom on Thursday, Jan. 23, said his officers would not be arresting people for immigration violations.
