When I watch anything Star Wars I can always extrapolate something from it. The Jedi were never meant to be soldiers or a military body. During the Clone Wars they should have served the citizens of the Separatists and Republic alike. Bc they trusted and obeyed the Senate it destroyed the order.

For 4/20 my wife got high, sat in a chair petting a cat for an hour, then announced out loud to nobody in particular:

"I'm gonna make pasta beans. Don't ask what that is"

Then she got up and now the kitchen smells amazing.

Today is day 139 of the ICE occupation of MN.

If ICE hasn’t come to your city or town yet, let us tell you: NOW is the time to organize.

Build trusting relationships. Get folks into Signal groups now, based on trust and connections. It will make what comes next so, so much easier.

🤬 A brand new HP laptop that I used 4 times before the keyboard stopped working. I called cust. support. I was on the phone 4 over 5 hours holding my cellphone up & the camera rolling so they could view what was happening. Transferred over 20 times. Now the thing won’t boot up.

Oh and the Orville did what neither Star Trek nor Doctor Who has done and actually say "No, genocide is not the answer and even the strawman implacable horde of programmed killbots can be reasoned with."

Sometimes the only thing standing in the way of your goals… is you.

I just got a royalty notification from Amazon. Someone ordered a copy of my novelette. Thank you 🥹💙

Got our solar panels installed this AM. They came at 8:30am and we're gone by 1:30pm. 13 panels and 10kwh battery.

We can't export to the grid yet (the network operator has been flooded with new requests) but we charged our car with the sun this afternoon. Great feeling, strongly recommend.

Imagine a California where families and workers don't just survive, they flourish. That’s the roadmap. 

Better schools, housing that’s affordable, cleaner air, and a health care system that sees you as a human being first.

Let’s make it happen.

My Superman tale

My current vibe is: this situation will eventually get better, in the meantime I’ll weather the storm and accept when I need to rest (which is often)

I’m learning to be more patient/kind with myself during stressful times. And I’m so proud of myself for learning a lot even with a sad brain 🩷

I really can read a 400-500 page book in 24 hours. Which isn’t really 24 hours cuz I do sleep and do other things. So ima time myself next time. I’m curious about how long it takes me to finish a novel. I just started this one around 1:30pm and I’m halfway done.

This👇🏼. AOC is the only one stating it clearly and plainly. Do I have any faith that the American people will ever elect a woman president someday? No. I hope I’m proven wrong.

Meanwhile, ICE has not slowed down. They are just going about it quietly, which means the violence we saw before was performative, encouraged & unnecessary.

one of my cats has this wonderful talent where he meows and meows and meows and meows and literally doesn’t stop while I’m already overstimulated like I feel you, I wanna scream too, but damn, calm down lmao

Crazy that Iranian, propaganda, lego movies, are giving us more accurate information than American MSM 🫩

You may disagree, but if the heads of our military don’t trust Trump to be in the Situation Room because he’s erratic, unfit, or dangerous…HE SHOULD NOT BE PRESIDENT!

Debeaked egg laying hens 💔Tortured friends😢Mutilated animals😡Standard in many countries. Only because they have to live in unnatural unacceptable crowded and horrible places. Please stop supporting animal agriculture. We don’t need this. #EndAnimalExploitation #GoVegan #BeVegan #BeActive ✊

Has anybody ever actually gotten salmonella from eating raw cookie dough or are people just trying to stop me from living my life.

Just occurred to me that Star Trek: The Next Generation would not have survived past its first season in this business environment

Thanks to a respiratory infection which has aggravated my asthma, the cartilage in my rib cage is all inflamed. The usual treatment is anti-inflammatory drugs which I can't take due to my asthma. Therefore, I need to just tough it out. I shall be grumpy and in pain for the foreseeable future.

Listening to sad music when you’re already sad is definitely a form of therapy.
