I feel like crying. Hang in there Ukraine 🇺🇦

This pupper is nine years old today! ❤️

Don’t worry - the cost of a dozen eggs is up 700% since last year.

The price of gas is going back up.

And Trump’s tariffs on steel and aluminum will drive inflation upwards while making cars and homes much more expensive.

But hey, at least the plastic straws we never lost are “back” right?!?

These were the books I read in January. I do not recommend the first. The other two are parts of series and were great. Onyx Storm was phenomenal.

I’m doing a new song every day challenge for 2025. The songs may relate to the day somehow, may be a favorite, or may just have randomly popped into my head. Here’s January..

Just got home and opened apps to catch up on the events of the day and was immediately hit with all the BS that Trump had to say about yesterday’s plane crash.. and nope. Just nope. I need a night off. I do not have the bandwidth for this tonight. It’s only been like ten days, you guys 😭😭

My nephew turns four this week, and we celebrated today. It was a nice afternoon with family to find some joy in what has been a very long, cold, and discouraging January.

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic.

The woman who was forced to listen daily to Adolf Hitler’s lunatic rants on the radio for seven years in the 1930s: “When I hear Trump speak, I hear Hitler again. When I see his rallies, it’s like what I saw in Nazi Germany”. — Ruth Nussbaum, Holocaust survivor

And now, Elon ..

My beige flag is that I lack the confidence to think I am doing well at my job even after receiving a great evaluation, but I truly believe my chubby, out of shape self would kick everyone’s ass in an apocalyptic scenario.

The inverted flag isn’t disrespect — it’s a distress signal from naval traditions, used to show grave danger to life or property.

With a lawless man set to take power after attempting to overthrow the government, America is in extreme danger.

That’s why I’m posting it today.

I love this so much!

At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions.

This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

For those of you, like me, who have not deleted Facebook at this time, just a head’s up - my wife and I both just discovered we were suddenly following JD Vance even though neither of us had ever done so. You may want to check your likes and follows.

Donald Trump plans to pardon the terrorists who violently attacked our Capitol.

Joe Biden pardoned the police officers they attacked and the lawmakers who investigated the attack.

Any questions.

“They fascinate the fools, then they muzzle the intelligent by emotional excitement on the one hand and terrorism on the other.”

The beginnings of a fascist movement.

In 2020, Trump tried to ban TikTok.

He cited one of his reasons was "retaliation for the China virus".

He tried to force a sale to American Oligarchs. He was overruled by a federal judge.

In 2021, Biden revoked Trump's EO banning TikTok.

It's so fitting that Donald Trump's inauguration will be held in the Capitol Rotunda, the very place four years ago where his pack of lawless loons ransacked, looted, and smeared their excrement. What an apt metaphor for what the incoming administration plans to do to America.

A tweet from the user 'mr trapple' states: 'before you clap remember these people also think all LGBTQ+ people are pedophiles. understand the actual goal here'. Below this, a tweet from Daily Mail Online reads: 'Pedophiles could be executed under new bills proposed by MAGA firebrand Anna Paulina Luna'. Below is a photo of Anna Paulina Luna standing at a podium.

Plus such a law could destroy the GOP forever.

Let’s be real. The only reason Trump is moving his inauguration indoors is so he can claim he would have had the biggest crowds were it not for the weather.

And his hair, probs.

And really, why should she?

The temperature at noon on Monday will be 22 degrees which is the same temperature it was in 1961 when Kennedy was inaugurated.

The ceremony was held outside.

Epic shade from Tim Walz on Donald Trump moving his inauguration indoors because he can't handle the cold.

When I get home from work, I sit at my kitchen table with a cup of coffee and scroll TikTok. It’s a comforting routine that helps me switch gears from “school me” to “home me”. I hope today isn’t the last day I get to do this, and I’m really sad-mad if it is.

Can someone explain why TikTok is a bigger national security concern than a social media platform run by a South African technofeudal oligarch actively interfering in our elections and sabotaging our national interests here and abroad?

It’s so hard for me to go to sleep early. It doesn’t matter how tired I am, I always find myself up later than I probably should be considering the time I need to set my alarm for. There’s just something about the peace of night.

Man. If I answered that many interview questions with “I’m not familiar with that,” I would not get the job.

President Biden is using his farewell address to warn us about the dangers of the oligarchy threatening our country as we speak.

We must heed his warning.
We have to stand up and fight.
Our very existence depends upon it.

I’m not even remotely worried about a trans woman being in my bathroom, but I’m fucking sick with worry about a serial sexual abuser being in my White House.
