Just…fuck it.

Oranges spoil, and return to the ground. One day.

#ResistanceRoots

Today in history, 1960: Harper Lee publishes her first novel, To Kill a Mockingbird. Noted for its treatment of a child’s awakening to racism in the South, the book won the 1961 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. It was an immediate success, eventually selling more than 40 million copies.

Reading this original post and the comments that followed brought me a lot of joy. Thank you.🙏

Twenty Lessons, read by John Lithgow Key selections from On Tyranny, for viewing and sharing

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.

We have to wait “more than” three years, not “almost”. These past 2.5 months should show how crucial it is to be accurate about time.

You just can’t make this sh*t up.

Still makes me sick, and will continue to.

His interference is criminal. We just don’t have a precedent for *how* criminal it is.

That is exactly true.

The DT plan is to start off by exhausting and overwhelming us.

I’ll admit, I’ve felt the deep anger and depression that makes me want to retreat.

For a minute…

It’s time to shake that off, find the most accurate news sources, and get to work.

These bullies will not win. Make their defeat sooner.

This energy.

Getting ready for the big game. Go sport!

She’s a performer. And one who hasn’t seen action in a very long time. I kinda get it if she felt the need for a reboot…but her choice of venue is going to haunt her for awhile.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

People have started to do it. With reckless abandon. It’s the “Elon salute”, and defended as a joke. 😱

Thank you, Mr. Takei! Sorting through the chaos and propaganda is crucial. Especially with the media monopolies in place. We’re going to have to dig deep for truth and solutions, and keep digging…

Do it.

It feels insurmountable right now. But I’m waking up more rested each day, believing in the love I have around me.

Heads up for all Instagram users: VP, Flotus, POTUS, and White House have all been transferred to the new administration. Which means I have been following them when I had absolutely no interest in doing so.

I have unfollowed, like many others. Folks have claimed they were added back. Be vigilant.

This needs to be EVERYWHERE - LOUD AND CLEAR!! #ChuckandJim #ThePoor

Festivity gnomes!

You know what will make many of us happy right now?

Cats. Just pictures of cats.

Cat love 🥰😍🥹

Vocalizing and participating is a good way to start, so thank you for that! Also recognizing that, while there are decent, hardworking people out there who happen to be wealthy, there’s plenty of that “I got mine, too bad for you” mentality. Especially now.

Remain humble, and help where you can.

How have billionaires put in the infinite more work than the average person who can barely make ends meet? Tell me how $25mil and $25k happen in this same country.

So YES, my dear, billionaires who *understand that and remain billionaires, and have no intention of changing that, are bad.

I can’t not with this one. Sleep well, be warm and safe, everyone!

Love, Mellie

I never tweeted. I don’t think it’s my thing.

But I’m here. Please tell me we have something to look forward to.

Rum ham says hello.

After many years of battle.
