In the drive thru at Wendy's (passenger). The munchies are hitting HARD. 😅

"I read your last book, and I was bored out of my mind."

"Well, that's your privilege."

100% using this Jessica Fletcher line from Murder, She Wrote when someone tells me at a con they didn't like a book 😆. Love this so much.

Universal Basic Income and universal healthcare will unleash a 2nd renaissance beyond our wildest dreams.

Multiple times a week. Hubby's aerosol smell nice spray triggers sneezes with Gordo. Said spray also gives me a headache with the initial nose assault. We've trained hubby to go to the other side of house when he sprays it. 😂

Your cats do that??? I've never been blessed with a cleared path!

The New Deal wasn’t built on a promise that there would be “no ceiling” for the richest Americans.

Quite the opposite, in fact. FDR knew its politics could only work if he singled out the rich as villains and knew that its policies could only work if the rich paid their fair share in taxes.

We should point out the irony here. Trump announced just days ago he would begin stopping drug traffickers in Venezuela “by land,” and yesterday, he promised to pardon Juan Orlando Hernandez—who’s serving 45 years in prison for working with El Chapo to smuggle 400+ tons of cocaine into the US.

Your Smartphone, Their Rules: How App Stores Enable Corporate-Government Censorship | ACLU Big Tech Oligopoly helps the Trump Administration crack down on free speech

After pressure from the Justice Department, Apple pulled apps from its App Store that encourage reporting ICE activity. Google followed suit by pulling similar apps from its Play Store.

The government shouldn't be choosing what apps we can download, and neither should tech companies.

It has taken this country almost 250 years to be $37 trillion in debt! One man alone responsible for 1/3 of 250 years worth of debt! At the same time making the majority of the country poorer, and him and his family raking in billions!

My goal is not to spend more than $5/book. So the $1.50 price tag at the library sales works perfectly for me!

I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.

Now, remind me again that non-Americans should mind their own business.

Close. Most of these are from library book sales. I support my local libraries with buying at their sales and borrowing audiobooks.

Genius!!!

I think I went a little overboard with books I want to immediately read 😅

I hate when it works 😅

The First Amendment protects our right to express ourselves, whether the Trump administration likes it or not.

Anyone would think we’re talking about 1000s of children being prevented from going through puberty forever with the use of puberty blockers.

Puberty blockers were prescribed to 113 people in 2023.

Come on now. Let doctors and other medical professionals do their damned job.

Now I want to get a Hold Me Closer Tony Danza tattoo!

You can also use rice paper!

I'm watching Fushigi Yugi (dubbed) on Crunchyroll and the closed captions from Roku are HYSTERICAL!

Last night I took an edible but forgot I had brownies in the oven! Don't worry! They came out perfect!

I'm watching "Splash" right now. You should be jealous!

Watching the Tylenol Murders on Netflix. Sometimes I wonder how we survived the 80s. 😂
