A whirling dervish? A balsy phallus? A rubber ducky?

Yes. while I prefer not to be should-ed, I accept the recommendation. In addition to being a place to calm the nervous system, our local branch is hosting an emergency go bag training on Sunday.

Happy Beltane!!!

Senator Tina Smith & A @SenTinaSmith More bullsh!t. @realDonaldTrump, you can't shut down the Department of Education - and you know it. Fox News even knows it. So stop it. We know you're just trying to wear us out. But for the record, I am not overwhelmed. My zone isn't flooded. I will fight your illegal behavior until the cows come home, and I'm pretty sure the hundreds of thousands of people who've contacted my office since you started this nonsense are on the same page

Be like Tina.

Release that which no longer serves #totallunareclipse

Booo!

Thank you Joe for releasing Leonard Peltier out of prison.

I’ve been really pissed that he hasn’t done it already, but at least it’s happening. It’s the best birthday present I could have asked for, because that’s the day he will officially be released.

No. Maybe I don’t know where to look.

I am certainly not the expert, but think that everybody can see everything

I’m not the best to judge since I was never on Twitter. So far, not spending much time here. Probably good.

Tonight is the night Venus is hanging out with the Moon. Barely seen in this picture, possibly more later. 

Opinion | Jimmy Carter: I Fear for Our Democracy (Gift Article) Even established democracies can fall to military juntas and despots. We can’t let that happen here.

New York Times Editor’s note: “Jimmy Carter died on Dec. 29, 2024. Roughly a year before he entered hospice care, he wrote his final New York Times Opinion essay. In it, he looked back on the Capitol riot and explained why he was so worried about American democracy.”

Anyone who saw last night‘s smiling moon with the Venus dimple was definitely delighted. I’m curious what their relationship will be tonight. 

Orwellian “truth”

It’s super windy here in Portland and the ping-pong table fell over last night.
