Nancy Anne is tired, but committing the sin of empathy

May we raise children
who love the unloved …

And when they're grown &
someone has to speak for those
who have no voice

may they draw upon that
wilder bond, those days of
tending tender things

and be the ones.

This is merely an interesting post about history. There is absolutely no strategic timing in this post.

Well that didn’t take long. If it weren’t such a nightmare, it would be comical.

Can’t wait to see how the Trumpers turn this plane crash into a DEI fail 🙄😑🙄😑

Mine as well.

When you ban books, you ban ideas. You stop people from being exposed to things that make the world bigger and more complex. You stop them from seeing things differently. And in that, you impose your limits rather than standing for a broader beautiful experience.”

That’s exactly what they want.

My body is screaming at me to rest. My mind is screaming to do essential tasks. If I don’t rest, I will crash. If I don’t do tasks, there are bad consequences. Chronic illness ftw 🤦🏻‍♀️ Guess I’ll just stare at my phone while being consumed by anxiety, thereby negating the rest.

Always have. I fucking hate it here.

That was a much needed break from reality. Thank you so much.

I’m so tired, numb, and brain fogged that I read WH to mean Waffle House

Right now I’m coping by trying not to think about it. And also, watching a documentary about Harry Houdini, my ultimate “hear me out”.

True. I remember when the whole “Al Gore invented the internet” controversy was going on and people mocking him for it, and now Trump literally says things that unhinged every single day 😑

An image of a coyote laying down and looking at us inquisitively. His large ears are sticking up into the caption above, but it is still partially readable as saying, “get your big ass ears out of the god damn caption.” He is indeed, very ears.

Boi, why you so ears?

A photo of a very chubby white cat who is sitting on its back legs and leaning on a railing as though it is a bar. The caption above reads “me at the bar waiting on my chicken tenders while everyone else grinds on each other”

I have always been this girl, yet it took me until I was in my thirties to figure out I might be ace. 😑

Right?!

It’s like: your tiddies are gorgeous, but where do you stand on immigration?

NICE

Palisades Branch Library goes up in flames Heartbreaking video captured the moments when the Palisades Branch Library went up in flames.

So sad for everyone who is having to deal with this. Love to you all.

The cover of Catalina by Karla Cornejo Villavicencio

I zoomed through this book in a few hours. Catalina’s earnestness in the beginning reminds me of myself at that age. This was a much more emotional read than I expected, and I highly recommend it. @karlarrriot.bsky.social

Divine wind indeed.

Looks like I seriously underestimated the number of books and Red Bulls I would need for this snow day.

Thank you dear Unicorn, it is a pleasure to be here!

and compassion in telling the stories of these victims. Thankfully, I have been spared such fate by my steadfast refusal to believe that anyone could possibly be attracted to me. That, combined with the $20 balance in my savings account, make it highly unlikely that I will become a victim of romance fraud. However, should I ever find myself in that position, I know what to watch for. All joking aside, this is a valuable and timely book. It is well-researched and written with humor when appropriate, and kindness throughout. Image Description: Cover of Keanu Reeves is Not in Love With You by Becky Holmes

After a delay caused by feeling absolutely shit, I finished this one today. Becky Holmes @deathtospinach.bsky.social, I have to admit I came into this with a judgmental view, thinking it could never happen to me. I was impressed and humbled by your empathy (cont. in photo alt text)
