Bah ha ha ha ha. Unreal.

According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information.

Today would be a great day to ban ALL elected officials from trading stock, don't you think?

It starts with knowing the truth. Don’t allow yourselves to be gaslit into believing this is a real question.

Would your own doctor advise you to take a dose of iodine pills beforehand, to protect your own thyroid? I had thyroid cancer, so am a lil familiar with THAT particular treatment.

Icon!

I call that flavor-stacking. Well done 🔥🔥🔥

I guess that makes sense, I am just surprised (and cranky, cuz last week was rough). We aren’t closed for more than 1 week all year, and that’s just so we can do a deep clean and get big maintenance projects done.

What? How can they be closed for so long?

Existential scream that blows all my hair, finger- and toenails off. Teeth? Sure. Teeth too.

and yeah, I know #paxunplugged is the same weekend, but that one is not in the cards for us this year! Also, with the food pantry running at least at a 1/3 higher capacity, I am not into doing casual crowds, unless I am vending. 😘

It's been a fairly busy summer & fall, but my craft show schedule is starting to settle down for the rest of the year. Last show: Lunar Faire, which was spectacular. Next up: Geek Flea in Kearny, NJ, the weekend before Thanksgiving! Hope to see a lot of TTRPG folks therel 😍 #geekflea

And here is the email to volunteer: send inquiries to Carol at

Thanks!

Very busy times at the food pantry now! If anyone is in a position to make a donation (or volunteer if you are local to Washington NJ), we’d all be so grateful.

As someone who runs a food pantry, I 100% agree with you.

‘F--- them kids’: ICE agents drag children out of bed, ransack Chicago building YouTube video by MSNBC

According to eyewitnesses, armed ICE agents dragged kids out of their beds in the middle of the night, zip tied them and put them in rented vans while raiding an * entire apartment building* on the South Side of Chicago.

I cannot emphasize enough that this administration shouldn’t get 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘦 𝘷𝘰𝘵𝘦 from the Dems until they start obeying the law.

Not. One.

Optics matter: if you want people to turn out next election despite troops in the streets, then show them it matters.

Do your goddamn jobs and hold the line.

Priorities.

Donald Trump shut down the government because he doesn't want you to have healthcare.

But this isn’t just on him. Democrats MUST use their leverage to protect our rights, but it can’t end there.

Schumer and Jeffries can’t just go on TV or write letters, they need clear demands. We need action now.

🥺😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Partly because I would single-handedly be responsible for a rise in the accident/injury rates and I’ve chosen to stay off them. Watch out if I change my mind, world!

Oops, Hardwick St! Not Race St.

A lovely Faire denizen, wearing a fabulous outfit with leather and fake fur accessories. They are modeling a black fake fur shortie vest with a huge Misfits skull on the back.

Heading to Goblin Market today on Race St in Belvidere, NJ! My first time there, but I’m sure it won’t be my last. New pins, pendants, clothes, and creatures/minis!
Next week, off to Dexlite 2025 in Morristown!

One of my former cats liked to bring me dead or nearly-dead mice and drop them on my chest at night. I’ll still take that over vomit in the bed.

Holy shit I have been sleeping on this record! So good!!

Livestream possibility…..?

Ah!

Oh shit, I am so sorry. Many many good thoughts for your mom, your cat, and you (and everyone). ❤️

Yeah, today is a not fun market day. I’m too sick to vend this time, so enjoying not being out in the weather.

Three HOURS? dang

So it’s 6 days in June and we have a massive hate crime and MURDER against a Native actor

and the illegal arrest of the head of one of America’s biggest union

The Dem website has no response
