Threads is really annoying me today. My account was suspended and I had to prove I’m not a bot? UGH. Now I have to wait 24 hrs to see if I “exist”.
Danegeld for sure!
F*ck RFK Jr, that lying, dangerous, incompetent joke. 1 of my kids is AuDHD & high functioning but struggles w/ social cues. He graduated HS w/ honors & is currently in uni. He is an award winning, published poet. He is perfect how he is rather than how, RFK Jr claims, a family “destroyer”.
🚨House Republicans just passed a bill that would disenfranchise 70 million married American women.
Under the SAVE Act, women who took their spouse’s last name and don't have an updated passport or birth certificate would be turned away at the polls.
Gen X thoughts: I wonder if all of the right wing fanatics who fetishize the 1984 movie Red Dawn realize that they’re now on the side of the dudes who parachuted into the schoolyard and slaughtered the community instead of, ya know, Patrick Swayze and the Wolverines 🤷♀️
The past few days reminds me of Michael Moore’s 1995 absurdist comedy Canadian Bacon.
Do something to stop it, then!!!!

The shock and awe tactic is working. I am overwhelmed by the sheer amount of sh*t and horror coming from the White House.
Disgusting
The West Coast stays united! 💪🏻
Today, honor a King, not a Felon. #mlkday2025
Sometimes a Nazi salute is just a Nazi salute. Given that a longtime Nazi did it, no need to overthink that. For fuck’s sake.
ICYMI:
Trump this morning proposing that TikTok becomes a state-sponsored social media app to pump out propaganda.
Oh, and if TikTok is spying on us, does that mean the US government will be spying on us, too?
Did your child lose their book collection in the Los Angeles fires? Are you a teacher at a school that lost its library or your classroom library? Whether you need one book or a whole library, we can replace your books. 📚
Everyone else, please boost this post so we can connect with those in need. 🙏
Funny how prose is LYRICAL in every genre but romance, and then it becomes PURPLE PROSE.
I love some good purple prose, especially when used intentionally, both as a reader and as a writer.
Canada is sending resources to help fight the California fires.
So is Mexico.
So are other states.
Over 800 convicted felons are out there fighting the fires.
Not the Chief Convicted Felon elect of America.
He's too busy politicizing this disaster.
So pleased to see my current state supporting my home state. West Coast love and solidarity!
This jerk. 😑
For SoCal friends,
Here is a list of resources for shelter, animal boarding, free items, and distribution hubs. These places can also use donations (e.g., food, water, masks, and blankets). Please consider donating if you can.

I just got word that a cousin lost her home. It’s so heartbreaking.
I’m just beside myself watching the coverage of these fires. It’s utterly heartbreaking.
I’m up in Oregon now, where summer is literally fire season and smoky for months. But these SoCal fires are something else entirely.
So upsetting!
The very best of Austen!

::Sigh:: Once more for the people in the back. If audiobooks don’t count as reading, then braille isn’t reading either. Stop gatekeeping literacy.
Terrifying. First time I ever got an earthquake warning alert on my phone, too. Now, CA & OR have a tsunami warning!
Thanks. It’s been a rough week.
