Strumpetlily Resists Fascists!

My mom used to say of such a person that they had a face like a fried boot. Very accurate here!

I have a bottle of France's finest waiting in the wings. I bought it for the election of President Harris (😭), but the impending event will do just fine.

This is a 5-alarm fire, people! Call your Senators and Reps! This is VERY BAD. 🤬🤬🤬

Wait, HBO/Max has ads now? Since when? It's been awhile since I watched it, but it's a premium channel. Hulu is a paid subscription service as well, what's happening?

Or Canada geese. 😁

This would only be scary if it's a phantom tollbooth... 👻

People criticized Nancy Reagan for the extravagant china set she bought for White House state dinners. It was pretty garish, but next to Trump's trashy,overdone, gold-plated design aesthetic, such as it is, that dishware was minimalist. His taste is a cross between Liberace and Saddam Hussein.

My grandfather went all over to find work as a young man, hopping trains and painting water towers. He met my grandmother while working as a traveling salesman. He often had to leave her and their child, my mom, for long stretches during the Depression. I have never known anyone who worked harder.

I miss her too, she was fearless despite the awful things that happened to her. I followed her on Twitter for many years. No reason at all to go back there anymore, the good ones are all gone or here on Bluesky.

I think so, she is over it. She knows how rigged the entire system is in favor of the big donors, and she found out that the media bows down to all of them.

I got very sick with Norovirus after a group dinner. It has a delayed onset of symptoms, so no one got sick for over 24 hours. When it did hit, the last thing I had eaten was salmon, which I couldn't eat again for several years, when the culprit was actually contaminated ice from the previous day.

It's always the ones you most expect.

What is Alpencore?

Yes he was, but he wasn't a mobbed-up career criminal like Trump, or a pedophile, as far as we know. There's dirty politicians, and then there's Trump, in a class by himself.

I blocked them all, and I block the new vibes that pop up. I am only donating directly from now on, and very selectively. It's a jungle out there, trying to figure out what's legit and what's a scam.

Joe's fatal flaw was thinking that there were still good Republicans. They served together in the Senate for decades, and he called many of them friends. He tried so hard to find common ground, not realizing that these former "friends" had become his enemies, and the enemies of America. It's tragic.

Agreed that their minds can't really be changed, but the MAGA mob needs a figurehead to coalesce around, and I don't see another one on the horizon. Vance has the charisma of a wet wipe, and the rest of the current GOP leadership, such as it is, are equally uninspiring.

That's because he lied during the campaign, daily, constantly, as he has every day of his miserable, miserly, pusillanimous, ridiculous life. How anyone at all ever believes a word he says will be forever a mystery to me.

That's my thought. She holds British and French citizenship and she knows a lot of the right (wrong) people. She could slip out and live on the money she has stashed overseas somewhere.

It's such an easy concept to grasp, let's keep doing it.

Dare I say that basking sharks are cute? 🥹

Yes, that is very true. White people will do literally anything to be able to look down on other groups, and they don't care who.

Oh gosh, everybody loved Flaco. 💔

He is very ill and it's being covered up. When he dies, there will be a huge void, and fracturing of the various GOP alliances will occur in the power vacuum. There is no one who can replace him for the rank-and-file MAGA, and some of them will snap out of it, primed by his Epstein crimes. We wait.

As a white person I agree with you, and I hate it. Normalcy bias is a thing, and as long as their lives aren't touched directly they will just keep whistling through the graveyard. It will eventually land on their doorsteps one way or another, but by then it will all be much worse for everyone.

I am VERY angry today because the spineless new-ish mayor of my city announced that they will now comply with the government's anti-DEI directives. I live in *Portland* Fucking* Oregon* and I am LIVID. If we can't stand our ground here in a Blue stronghold, who will? He will hear from me. 🤬🤬🤬

If it's made with Japanese milk bread, it's amazing. We have some places here that make these fruit sandos and they are quite addictive.

Is she going to "escape" somehow since it's minimum security, then flee the country incognito, away from US jurisdiction? Is that the deal they made? What country would take her in and also guarantee her safety? This is just looking worse and worse by the day.

Are we going to acknowledge the cute smile/chin situation? Because that is also irresistible. 🥰
