Gen-X. Hobbies include knitting, reading, cross-stitch, and raging against the machine. Pro-choice, pro-democracy, anti-MAGA.

The numbers are in. The new maps republicans just passed in Texas reduce Hispanic Texans to one-third of a white person and Black Texans to one-fifth of a white person.

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you:

Our funding depends on usage.

So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

Nothing says Peace Prize like deploying armed troops to the streets of your cities.

I donโ€™t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make whatโ€™s happening now look like childโ€™s play. And people are disappearing.

Yes, yes. I'm sure it's a distraction. But it's a *really* fun one.

Haha, thank you! I'm printing this out as my bookmark. Can't wait to start reading.

@theauthorguy.bsky.social The post office delivered my signed copy of Anima Rising in an opened envelope and the book is slightly damp. Can you brighten my mood with a witty reply?

If you don't feel like reading the book, or like me, haven't had a chance to read it yet, this is a much watch.

I have often said that it's hard to believe Christians votes for someone that embodies all 7 deadly sins.

You need to do more, senator. We don't need our representatives clutching pearls when there's a constitutional crisis occurring. If they can falsely imprison Abrego Garcia, they can do it to anyone.

I believe he passed that cognitive test as much as I believe that he's 225 pounds

This is terrifying. Every news station should be reporting this non-stop. The blood is on every republican's hands.

It's bad enough to look at him. Now, his background is just as trashy and horrible.

Never too old for LEGO! I just bought the Love set and was excited to get the free gift with purchase. Which is an Easter bunny. Definitely not age appropriate for me, but I'm still going to enjoy the build!

The rich are using the opportunity to buy stocks on the cheap. While the rest of us see our retirement accounts free fall.

Driving to pick up lunch: 1 trump supporter and about 50 people (and 1 dog!) protesting for good! When I came back in the same direction a few minutes later, the magat was gone! Go #Allentown! #dumptrump
