I don't know, weird anxiety-ridden old-ish lady who hates fascists but loves books, embroidery, tea, glitter, cats, turquoise, and chocolate.

I’m not as worried about the upcoming avian flu epidemic as I am about the upcoming aryan flu epidemic.

Just a reminder that there’s an app available for your TV called PBS RETRO where you can watch all sorts of wonderful old pbs shows like Mr. Rogers and Reading Rainbow, you know, in case you might need that sort of energy right now

Public library energy is the best energy. Like here is all the knowledge we could find, it's been meticulously organized and vetted and it will cost you nothing today, welcome to the absolute pinnacle of human civic evolution, feel free to pull up any bean bag chair you like

This week, I realized that I may even be overqualified to be a cabinet member.

I was going to eat 3 pieces of pizza but showed some self control and only had 2. I could have survived on just 1, but at this point what are we living for if not for pizza?

The people who voted for Trump so he would overturn Obamacare but didn't know that's the same as the ACA: All I can say is FFS. You get what you vote for, eejits.

Those are our main events. Right now our other volunteer opportunity, sorting book donations, is pretty full up. But we have our next sale in January. PM me your real name and I'll make sure you are on the list.

I love the Sainte-Chapelle even more than Notre Dame. It's indescribable.

Remember: fascism thrives on apathy.

The autocrats want you to tune out. They want to overwhelm you. They want you to give up.

Don’t give them want they want.

Stay in this fight. Remain vigilant. And let’s keep building.

Absolutely! I have a cousin who was fine with us arguing, but when I stopped arguing and just didn't respond, that was when the real vitriol came from. Him. People like that just want a platform to be hateful.

I gave up sugar in my tea during Covid. But I don't know if I could give up my cream.

I remember that one time I applied for a teaching position, and they wanted to do a background check? I said, β€œNah, my buddy can vouch for me. Besides, if there is something sketchy in my background, I won’t tell you about it anyway.” Admin: Cool, cool. πŸ€¦πŸ½β€β™€οΈ #cabinetappointments #facistregime

People, what the hell are you thinking? I lived through these times. Measles blinded classmates, mumps made many sterile, polo killed, maimed, and brutally put kids in iron lungs FOR LIFE! Contract German measles during the first 3 months of pregnancy and give birth to a child with no arms or worse.

Bluesky blowing up with new people is bittersweet because on the one hand, yay a new place to have fun! But on the other hand it’s like, wow there really is an awful lot of Nazis that drove us here.
