A big bushy green tree with a regal Great-Horned Owl at the top, feathers ruffling in a summer breeze. One of my neighborhood owls, right here in the City. Go outside where you are and find some magic, too.
Dropping something beautiful and magical for the top of my timeline until I can check in again. 🦉
2025 is so so so bad, and babies -- it's gonna be getting a lot worse these next couple few years. Save up whatever energy you can, and try this new rule:
If it doesn't give you more energy than it takes from you, cut it.
Planning to continue my social media diet, tightening the belt further by canceling podcasts that leave me feeling drained.
We have a long fkn haul ahead of us. If I'm barely able to function and we're just at the beginning of the road, my resourcing ~has to become impeccable~ for survival.
Hi beautiful people.
I haven't posted in 25 days.
Been on a social media diet.
Realized social media was an energy leak, and the little ship that is my body has been sinking.
Slowly repairing the leaks.
It's a slower process than I realized.
This mostly looks like Gaza and the West Bank??? Am I tripping?
Fuck I really needed the laugh this just gave me 🤣
Thanks friend. I haven’t been able to sleep, either. I don’t know what Rx (medical or otherwise) is gonna end up working but I gotta figure something out.
🥺💔
❤️🩹 Thanks, stranger-friend. Really appreciate this.
Today has made me feel like I need to vomit until I pass out.
I don’t have four years of this in me. I don’t know if I even have another month in me.
Just over four months of Trump. America in upheaval. The global economy overturned. The Middle East burning down.
Which one of them shot her family dog?
Netanyahu, Putin, Trump — same violent strategy for holding power in a chokehold until someone rips it from their bloody fingers.

New thread #3
A US defense official tells the WP this attack, which Israel says will continue over multiple days, will provoke a significant Iranian response that the Israelis will then ask the United States to help counter.
🚩 RED FLAG WARNING 🚩
Low humidity and breezy southwest winds will bring elevated fire weather conditions to portions of North East California this evening.
Stronger winds Friday may lead to 3–8 hours of #CriticalFireWeather. Fire ignition and rapid spread are likely.
Not difficult to imagine, whatever the method
Her face would look so much better smashed in with a bat. Just my aesthetic opinion.
Are we really fucking doing this.
Had nothing happened to Senator Padilla at all, what she was describing is a federal takeover of a major city by military force with no specified end-date, with no legal authority. Do not let the fascists talk their way out of that.
Consider it might not actually be funny that GOP members of Congress are leaving DC and skipping Trump’s sickening military parade. What if they know the Feds are mobilizing armed violence against the American people this weekend?
This is what ICE is for, after all.
The center is NOT holding.
Feds threatening to overthrow a democratically-elected government in a U.S. State is the end of American democracy.
If the Supreme Court doesn’t stop these fuckers from blowing up our government, the US is gone.
Krispi Gnome wants to “liberate” Los Angeles of our democratically-elected leaders.
What’s the word for this?
Here's another angle from Fox News reporter Bill Melugin of Sen. Alex Padilla getting roughed up by law enforcement after he tries to question Kristi Noem at her presser:
“I’m Senator Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary. Because the fact of the matter is, a half dozen... Hands off!”
Statement on Sen. Padilla’s Forcible Removal from DHS Press Conference in Los Angeles LOS ANGELES, CA — Today, the Office of U.S. Senator Alex Padilla (D-Calif.), Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Immigration Subcommittee, released the following statement after Padilla was forcibly removed from Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem’s press conference while performing Congressional oversight in Los Angeles: “Senator Padilla is currently in Los Angeles exercising his duty to perform Congressional oversight of the federal government’s operations in Los Angeles and across California. He was in the federal building to receive a briefing with General Guillot and was listening to Secretary Noem’s press conference. He tried to ask the Secretary a question, and was forcibly removed by federal agents, forced to the ground and handcuffed. He is not currently detained, and we are working to get additional information.”
From Sen. @padilla.senate.gov's office: Padilla “is currently in Los Angeles exercising his duty to perform Congressional oversight of the federal government’s operations … He tried to ask the Secretary a question, and was forcibly removed by federal agents, forced to the ground and handcuffed.”
And admit they were full of shit the whole time? lol nevaaarrrrr
Apparently they kind of can’t go back? The last part of that article was kinda like, lol, oops 🤷♀️
The delusion-dissolution pipeline is so exhausting.
Can we meet in material reality at some point soon and decide as a nation of millions to hold some power-obsessed goons to account?
Where indeed. “Elon wanted it”; wasn’t that what Trump said when journos asked him what the fuck?
If people are seeing what’s up it’s just because they don’t want to. Everything is right out here in the open.
Trump used them as culture war trophies then dropped them? What a shocking turn of events.
What we are in right now is levels on levels of exhausting. I haven’t recovered from the 2024 campaign and I don’t even do this for a living.
The fucking audacity! As if black Americans haven’t literally lead every battle for human rights in the country since we allegedly rejected monarchy
