Flower of the Day - Cosmos for #MagentaMonday #BloomScrolling

protest and speak out, but for lack of organization. There's so much to respond to and we're left scrambling and grasping for straws. It would be great if we had a hive mind and everyone came out at the same time in the same place to make it clear we're NOT OKAY WITH THIS.

@theweekendprime.bsky.social - make no mistake. We are NOT inured to what's going on. We are not "used to it." We are outraged. We went to protests TODAY. We have no leadership, no organization. The Indivisible protest we went to today was woefully underattended - not for lack of wanting to

I had one last zucchini on the vine, so - chocolate chip zucchini bread and zucchini pancakes for dinner. (all gluten free of course). #AvoidingTheNews

I am officially old. Doja Cat on #SNL. Fun to watch - couldn’t understand a word.

My pleasure!

lol - my stepmother was a gold digger for sure. Thankfully she died before he did.

You're doing the right thing for both of you.

I'm sorry too. I know exactly what you're talking about. It's hard. I can remember times when I was a kid and I didn't think my dad was a complete asshole and that helps. :)

Listened to #TheBestPeople podcast w/ Rosie O'Donnell this morning. Holy crap, if you think @nicollewallace.bsky.social is good on Deadline Whitehouse, you're going to be blown away by her podcast.
And, Nicolle, if you're listening, we have an album coming out that I think you might want to hear.

My dad was a plant manager at Cat. I benefitted from that, but in his last years, he was full MAGA and then the dementia took over, which was weirdly a relief.

Look. I've been waiting for something to "spell the end of MAGA" for 10 years.
It's going to take an asteroid.

Yep - In the 60s and 70s, you could raise a family with an entry level job at Cat or Deere. If you can even get an unskilled job there anymore, you certainly can't raise a family on your pay.

Definitely right.

Fantastic!

Word.

You bet - we'll try to make it! If you hear someone singing, it's probably us.

yeah, yeah, I know.
And Ohio State next weekend. Just let me enjoy this one.

OMG!!

Sounds about right.🤦‍♀️

If we haven’t learned from the last decade that about 30% of the country has a severe lack of critical thinking skills, then we’ve learned nothing.

I think we got it now. I L L !
