Can someone please point me to (or invent) a way for me to never have to see the dumptruck’s face on my phone? I’d just love to never be subjected to it. Any ideas?

Can you imagine being the kind of absolute monster who wants to take things like musical theatre away from 10 year olds? Like seriously, who hurt you?

Raise your hand if you want the media to require RFK Jr to have a scientist and/or healthcare professional fact checking him whenever he goes on TV.

Faux Fur, Flimsy Data—HHS’s “Gender Dysphoria” dossier struts a catwalk of questionable conclusions, so I roast them in my blog.

Sometimes I am an amazing person who can accomplish anything I put my mind to! Sometimes, I need 2 people to accomplish a task, and sometimes I think I will never be amazing enough actually ask for the help of a 2nd person when I know that's what I need. I'll fail, badly, trying 2 be 2 myself.

Fun fact: if you are concerned about measles but don't want your judgy anti-vax friends to give you shit about it, you can just ignore them, vaccinate your whole family, and then not have to tell anyone about it because that's your private medical data 🙂

Message me for more health tips 😬

Reminder: it is illegal to follow illegal orders, " All five of the men are associated with the private security firm Lear Asset Management, which had its license revoked by the city after the town hall, the AP reported."

Names and charges of men who followed illegal orders.

Reminder: Claiming "I was just following orders" does not provide a defense in criminal court when the orders are illegal.

I admit it, the “every day is a fresh new hell to navigate” is wearing on me. How do you manage? Recharge? Not overwhelm?

RFK Wants to Send People to ‘Wellness Farms.’ The US Already Tried That. RFK said Americans “addicted” to opioids, antidepressants, and stimulants should be sent to “wellness farms."

I've spent a lot of time trying to understand how health and mental health have been dealt with in this country and have tried to make that shit better. I will spend a whole lot of time talking about it with anyone who cares to. This dude is all bad.

the complete collapse of conservatism as an ideological formation in the west feels like it should probably be more remarked on.

Don't be afraid to call things by what they are. MAGA is a terrorist organization, ICE is a secret police force conducting Ethnic Cleansing, Elon Musk is an oligarch, and Trump is a foreign backed coup d'état figurehead. This is not an administration, this is a regime, and your country is occupied.

When there is no peace, I create some. It wasn’t always this elaborate, but things have gotten complicated.

I'm finding it rather stress relieving to just sit down at the end of the day and send emails & leave voice mails telling our electeds exactly what I think of their cowardice in aligning with fascists. Yesterday Newsom got my end of day notes, today Schumer was the lucky recipient.

Yeah, I’ve been feeling annoyed at people who were shocked, but now I’m trying to just take a deep breath and welcome them to the good side.

If you’re feeling really sad these days, that’s valid. Angry? Valid. Feeling kinda cheerful (& maybe dissociated)? Also valid. Numb, confused, resentful, or curious? Valid.

Things are weird. It’s ok to feel weird.

My calendar for the day looks like a very poorly played round of Tetris.

USAID have pre-approved funds and products ordered. The cancelation of these funds and illegal termination of employees caused food to rot & stoppage of Rx. SOMEONE needs to track resultant DEATHS. Then file a complaint w/ ICC for Crimes against humanity against Rubio, Trump& Musk

He may get mad at me for this, but my husband would be fucking GREAT at that wizard thing.

The underside of an alocasia amazonica, all green and purple and yellow and kinda weird, but very cool.

I’m fascinated by the underside of leaves. This one’s an alocasia, for the folks who don’t obsess about plants like me.

If someone wanted to destroy the United States from within, would they do anything differently than what Trump is doing right now?

Dirt under fingernails, dirty hands, seed packets in the blurred background.

Took a couple of days off. Please enjoy my vacay manicure.

No lie, I’m a little bit nervous about being “in between” doctors at the same time that some of my anti-depressants are being trash-talked by the people who are supposed to make it possible for us to access them safely.

History buffs will know that every authoritarian leader eventually converges on some version of: "I *am* the state. I can not break the law, I am the law, the law is instantiated in me."

Our march to authoritarianism so far has been excruciatingly by-the-book. Hitting every beat. No surprises.

These are the vaccination rates of kindergartners by state. It takes 95% coverage of MMR vaccine to prevent measles outbreaks & most states are not achieving it. I fear that under the new administration rates will drop even further and we will start to see preventable illness, disability, and death

I’d like to give a big middle finger to anyone who voted, donated money, shared social media posts, or otherwise encouraged this utter farce. RFKjr puts us all in danger, but this is a fun data source for who will be most impacted if Medicaid is cut. It’s disgusting. www.kff.org/interactive/...

Sad day when McConnell is a voice of reason…

Oh, hi. Sorry. I am only able to feel my feels once every so often, late at night, and sometimes I forget to be quiet.

They are coming after the dept of ed. That means every single PTA better be living up to its mission to serve ALL children.

I bet if every “nice white lady” stopped what they were doing and demanded to talk to the manager, we could get this handled faster than the courts. Like, really just Karen the heck out of musty dumptruck and their minions.
