a heart with the words " ranch dressing my beloved " written on it Alt: a red puffy heart that opens to reveal a bottle of Hidden Valley Ranch and the words "ranch dressing my beloved“

Where’s the icing??

Happy Earth Day! 🌎

Oh but they do. They stand for:

Freedom for corporations from bothersome regulations that protect people

Freedom for rich folks to hide money in off shore accounts

Freedom for the Epstein class to do what they do best🤬

Freedom for the rest of us to be ground into dust by the machinery of greed

Disturbing, but not surprising. Saw the video of someone presenting him with a Tesla wrapped in the bloody pic of him and he was wearing an overly long red tie, too.

Creepy, creepy, creepy.

WTF?!

Why would they stick the shortest Secret Service person in *front* of him? Why did they even let him stand all the way up instead of ducking and covering to the car?

On the other hand, I don’t believe for a nanosecond that the Coward in Chief would knowingly let someone aim a live weapon at him.

This is Fitz and June. Fitz just got here and thinks this place is pretty great. June was here first and thinks it's time to return Fitz. 13/10 for both (TT: muester)

So teeny! 😍

April Fool’s is over now, hooman. Send it back! 😠

TIL…

Beautiful 🩵

Munchkin, a short-haired gray kitty almost a year old now, has made himself comfortable in the crook of my elbow with his face resting against the gray sleeve of my shirt while I’m watching tv this evening. He’s extra snuggly right now bc it’s a little chilly here. Thats me behind him with the glasses and white hair.

Goodnight Bluesky, from Munchkin and me 🩵

So half the military will be down with flu at a critical moment? Great plan. 🤦‍♀️

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a more literal video depiction of the term “gobble-snarf!” 😆

EU’s top court finds Hungary’s anti-LGBTQ+ law in breach of key values ECJ says law passed in 2021 is discriminatory and ‘contrary to the identity of the union’, in early test for new PM

“The EU’s highest court has found Hungary’s anti-LGBTQ+ law to be discriminatory, stigmatising and in breach of basic democratic values…”

This is a crucial decision. The court rejected the political claim that LGBTQ+ representation is “propaganda.” We must keep fighting politics that dehumanise us.

BS. He knew. He sent texts after the 2020 election about how he hated Trump and would be glad when he was gone. He didn’t campaign for Trump. He campaigned for White Supremacy/Nationalism, and he knew Project 2025 was all about accomplishing those goals.

😭

Rip his name off any building or installation he has pasted it onto. Replace the face of his presidential portrait and all other depictions of him with an orange. Make uttering his name taboo and officially rechristen him with one of his many monikers. Feel free to suggest some. Cheetolini?

Anybody else sick of seeing his posts refer to him in the third person and in all caps with quotation marks?

“TRUMP”

It’s weird. I hope we take a note from the ancient Egyptians and literally erase his name from history forever when this is over. Raze any monuments he builds to himself. 🧵

Maybe he will stand too near an open window on the top floor of some hotel and a freak tornado will pull him out of it.

Maybe because it’s evocative of this?

Help Our Pollinators

Maybe they should cut the CEO’s job and let Claude run the company.

He’ll die before he resigns.

Sunset showing many different colors across the sky and clouds

It's Day 19 of getting past negativity by posting some things that bring me joy. ☀️

I absolutely love light, and the sun, and the amazing things it does. The way the sun paints the sky with colors during sunset is so beautiful and magical, I am obsessed every time! 🌅

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations:

Alphabet: 8.01%
AT&T: 4.6%
Meta: 3.57%
General Motors: 3.09%
Amazon: 1.37%
Exxon Mobil: 1.31%
Disney: -1.57%
CVS Health: -3.88%

Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5%

This is what a rigged system looks like.

I think most people would prefer this. #Science

Today I learned from AI that fish have people tongues. Yay. I’ll probably have nightmares for a week 😆
