Perfect example for Men Writing Women! 😂

I have stopped and started so many things already today you'd think it was a Monday... #squirrel!

I've hidden this part of my writing for a while because I was trying to keep my politics and my book life separate but that hasn't worked. So, here's my bite-sized take on the 4A.

Wavey background of soft pinks down to lavender then blue with white text that reads: Apparently it's a call your cingressmembers and cut your own bangs kind of Tuesday...

What exactly are those people clapping for? I want someone in that crowd to explain it.

Well, just cried through more calls to my reps in congress. Trying to figure out why, with everything going on, it would even be suggested that ICE agents should go to the Olympics in Italy as "security."

White text on a black background reads: "We must learn that passively to accept an unjust system is to cooperate with that system, and thereby to become a participant in its evil." - Martin Luther King Jr.

Beautiful words from my dear friend, Linda.

Blackbird

I just really started drinking hot tea last year and I can say a Lady Grey with some cream is still my favorite.

Headline from the New York Times above a photo of Trump and others in a meeting reads: "Two Hours, Scores of Questions, 23,000 Words: Our Interview With President Trump." Small print reads: Four New York Times reporters pressed Mr. Trump about a range of topics in a nearly two-hour interview. Here is a transcript of their conversation.

Leading with the word count and ending with "Here's a transcript of their conversation" tells me how much substance exists in those 23,000 words.

4 reporters with a sitting president for 2 hrs and not a single comment or topic they wanted to highlight? I'll get right to reading this masterpiece.

Social media post by Brian Tyler Cohen, quoting @socialistMMA. The quote in white and orange text on a black background reads: Right wingers: "Nicolas Maduro is a tyrant who murders his own people" Also right wingers: "Federal law enforcement has the right to kill any American who disobey orders"

I don't know how to make any of this make sense anymore.

I think my post was misunderstood. I was talking about their version of how things go. They think everyone should go along with everything being a capital offense. I couldn't agree more with you that they should all get fucked.

Yeah, that's not how the real world works. This regime is under the impression that everything is an automatic capital offense.

Say her name.

Photo of bronze plaque with a statement about the officers who defended the Capitol over a raised image of the Capitol.

In honor of the officers who defended the Capitol 5 years ago today from an attack instigated by our current ruler, here's a photo of the plaque Republicans in congress still refuse to hang to commemorate their bravery and sacrifice.

Madrona tree mixed in with several pine trees and heavy clouds and fog covering the view of the Olympic Mountains in the background.

Feeling stormy...
