My mom is currently dying and we have met a lot of truly wonderful people who have made caregiving their life’s work. But I can say without hesitation that the SYSTEM is FUCKED.

I never did understand how they planned to grow the economy by forcing millions of people out of it.

I remember working so hard on my college applications and then waiting anxiously for months to learn if I was accepted. My son has been flooded with pre-acceptance letters from schools begging him to apply. Have times changed or is he just that much smarter than his mom?!

An arm with a blue and white striped cast is shown resting on a hospital bed. The patient also has a food tray on their lap.

Huge day today and I could not have gotten through it without my village. Although, certain members are partially responsible for the havoc! Thanks to the team at #shrinerschildrens in Spokane for taking great care of my boy.

Learned today that a close friend from college died in a car accident over the weekend. Feeling especially shitty because I owed that man an apology. #ruinthefriendship

Morning.

Priorities.

I don’t get it, unless it’s about the power dynamic. Oh, I get it.

Favorite line from a trick-or-treater this Halloween: “I said I liked Milk Duds the last time I was here tonight, remember?”

One Halloween I dressed up as the GOP's Healthcare plan.

I never made it out of the House.

President Reagan's Radio Address on Free and Fair Trade on April 25, 1987 YouTube video by Reagan Library

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

The great actress Diane Keaton has left us at the age of 79. Too soon to say good-bye to the woman who made us smile at the quirky Annie Hall, and who broke our hearts in Reds. Your charm and talent will be sorely missed.

The response to an action does not determine its legality.

The reason is capitalism and its constant barrage of advertising that says, “You’re not enough, but with this product, you could be!”

This is a badge from YouTube that says this user was among the first to watch Taylor Swift’s new music video for the Fate of Ophelia.

Are there meetings for this club? I’ll be there. #fateofophelia

“The Founders would never believe that it would ever come to pass that one state militia could be sent to another state for the purposes of political retribution”

THAT PART!

Thank you, Judge Perry.

I have a complicated relationship with the way ChatGPT constantly validates my brilliance. The pandering is creepy but it always comes with receipts. #llms #chatgpt #ai

Indicting your political enemies because they’re your enemies, not because they’ve committed crimes, is unAmerican.

The media needs to stop suggesting crazy things to Trump. He’s confused, struggling with dementia. Asking these questions and then continuing to push on his stumbling response is basically encouraging really bad policy in pursuit of a story.

Something that just does not sit well with me recently is most things

The best lesson for cis guys in TLOAS is that if you celebrate your partner as a whole damn person, she will tell the world your dick is huge. #taylorswift #wood

Yes! I also wonder why the fact that criminals will always try to access guns is a good reason to make it easy for them.

Yesterday I celebrated with my son as he received a substantial scholarship offer from the University of Portland…and then I read the news. Adding “military occupation” to his college pro/con list felt surreal.

What does “transgender for everybody” even mean?! At some point his supporters will see he’s crazy, right? Right?? 😬

Apple cider at our local farm stand is $15/gallon this year.

Ah yes, like during the civil rights era, when protestors viciously marched their bodies right into peacefully pummeling fists, gun points, and nooses. ☹️

OH, I get it now! I kept wondering why they support policies that make homelessness worse, when they are clearly disgusted by people struggling on the streets. What a tidy solution. ☹️

I am deeply worried about who this will be weaponized against and how they will be harmed.

Anyone else worried that he’s going to announce a reaping?
