You have betrayed your constituents, the very ones you claim to be concerned about. You voted WITH the Republicans to do the very thing you are talking about in this post. Don't pretend to be compassionate. Traitor.

My husband and I can't afford health insurance now, these changes pushed by the Republicans will mean we'll never be able to afford it.

Do you ever stop and just truly marvel at the creative people of the world? Do you ever wonder at the people who hear entire symphonies in their head, see masterpieces in their mind’s eye, feel the movements of dances in their bodies? Sometimes it just stops me in my tracks and I feel total awe.

I think we all need this right now. I’m ded of teh kyoot!

Cook well in the afterlife , Anne Burrell, and give our love to Anthony Bourdain. You both left too soon.

I looked up from my computer screen and this is what I saw.

Eight hours of work, four hours of scrolling through job postings, five applications put in for open position, and one thanks-but-no-thanks email. Now I’m ready for a couple of hours of stitching and some stupid online games, then bed and sleep…just to do it all again tomorrow.

**looks out window ** Does anyone still have those plans for how to build an ark?

The face of a puppers who played at the doggo park today, and who managed to find the only mud puddle in the place so he could lie down in it!

I get mildly annoyed when I’m listening to a book series and they change narrators from one book to another. I just got used to one person’s voice and rhythm of reading, and now I have to adjust to a new one! #booksky #FirstWorldProblems

I don’t know why, but I tend to have a much more difficult time with focusing on rainy / grey days.

I have always thought it should be compulsory, and that it should be a national holiday so there was no excuse NOT to vote. Sure, there are some jobs that don’t get days off, but then businesses should be heavily fined for not giving their staff time to go vote.

Time to interview for a permanent position at the job I’m working as a contractor!

McKinney stands up for democracy!

I'm so proud of my city! I wanted to be there, but had to work. I'm glad so many people turned out!

I received my first paycheck yesterday. I am finally a productive member of society again!

Why do people keep worrying about opinion polls on the Republican Administration? He doesn't CARE. He doesn't have to make anyone else happy. He is either going to become dictator for life, or be unable to run for Prez again. Either way, being upside down in opinion polls is irrelevant to him.

If we don't see tons of video clips of him saying "I couldn't care less." in response to being asked about prices going up on cars due to tariffs in opposition tv ads, I'm going to be very, VERY miffed at the Dems.

As of today I have been employed for an entire week!

I have practically zero self control when it comes to Lindt's Lindor Truffles. I love the damned things and just shove 'em into my gob at an appalling rate. This is why I can't buy them very often! :)🍫

It was a pretty good first day at the new job. I got onboarded by IT, then took some courses, had lunch, spent the afternoon in training. Finished with a 'touching bases' meeting with my boss & the other new employee. Spent my last 1.5 hrs taking a SalesForce class on the company's learning portal.

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

This is horrifying. And this woman had all of the advantages and privilege that few of the other detainees have. I can't even imagine what it's like for the ones with no contacts, no resources, and no hope.

Hooray! Shiny new MacBook delivered! Of course, I don't have my login information yet, but hopefully I'll get that later today or first thing tomorrow morning. New job, HERE I COME! :)

Up at 7 a.m. today. New job start date is Thursday, & I'm trying to get used to getting up for work before the big day. Early morning still sucks. Ah well, gotta make sure we have money for dog and kitty food!

@theshadoknows.bsky.social and Steve got up in solidarity! Sweet of them, yeah?

I've been looking for recipes that are inexpensive. I keep running across recipes that require leftover rice and leftover mashed potatoes.

Who has leftover rice and mashed potatoes hanging around?

Seriously. Whenever I make anything with rice or potatoes, they're the first things gone! ;)

A picture of barbed wire with a blurred background. Text reads, "In my work with the defendants, I was searching for the nature of evil and now I think I have come close to defining it. A lack of empathy. It's the one characteristic that connects all the defendants, a genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow men. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy." Captain G. M. Gilbert, the Army psychologist, Nuremberg Trials.

Honestly? Who cares? Why spend time trying to figure these people out? We can all see what they're doing. We need to focus on stopping them. The whys and wherefores can come later as the historians are analyzing and picking things apart. Action is the task of the moment, not analysis.
