I'm pretty sure you actually called us "motherfuckers."

You realize this means that you are literally just as cavalier as 47 is about sacrificing the middle and working classes on the altar of making a political point.

Billionaire is as Billionaire does.

Easy for a guy who isn't going to have to worry about food security.

Stop acting like you're a "good" billionaire.

Hopefully how to wrest back control of the government and return to any kind of normalcy

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

Any chance we could hurry that up? 😭 2032 is so far away

I think feeling discouraged is valid, but 1. It's their job to represent ALL of their constituents, so, make them. and 2. I know I must be an annoying thorn in the side of my idiot red-hat congressman, and irritating him brings me a lot of joy.

Why am I emotional at Kroger on a Monday evening?

Because my town has basically cleared the whole shelf of Ben & Jerry's ice cream (dairy and non).

How far into onyx storm are you? 😅

One of us, one of us

My primary care and pulmonologist both called in a Rx for me to get the RSV vaccine off label this week. Two weeks ago, they said they couldn't. I have a suspicion that the withdrawal from WHO and CDC communication ban so I can't use reported data to make decisions played a role.

Read On Tyranny by Timothy Snyder. The audiobook is 1-2 hours depending on your listening speed. The author also has a public YouTube channel reading it.

Lmao that's amazing. Love that for you. 😂

My husband and I were on the couch scrolling through the videos I pebbled to him. We were like that old couple climbing into bed in Titanic.

Update: 4 clarinets.

That's a great pattern. I used it with Mal Sock in Ursula, variegated and speckled, and didn't end up with any pooling. 🙌

Hitchhiker Beyond?

Also, it's deeply gratifying to hear someone refer to something as "toxic" who actually knows what it means.

I remember citing him in my undergraduate Comparative Planetology class debate about Pluto's classification before it got reclassified. His handle is amazing.

Yep. I saw this video on TikTok last night. 😅 I'm scrolling my ass off while I still can.

We have a keyboard, a recorder, an ocarina, a wood flute, 3 clarinets (the good one, the backup, and a friend's) and a bass clarinet.
