So couldn’t we all just dress up in hoodies and caps and masks and hang around courthouses and when we see someone being detained just like tell the other guys “no this one’s ours, yours is in the courtroom right now” then whisk them to safety? It might work once or twice before they caught on.

I strength train 3 times per week. I convince myself not to quit using various methods, one of which is telling myself “You are (whatever fraction) through this workout! You can do it!” Hi USA, you are nearly 1/8 of the way through this presidency. Keep pushing!! We can do it!! #NoKings

Do you think White House staff has had to adopt the “sleep when the baby sleeps” new parent routine to ensure trump has attention round the clock between naps?

We criticized MAGA for overlooking Trump’s abuse of women, now Dems have to be consistent in the NYC mayoral race. No Cuomo.

The point is not that we think Trump is a king, Dilbert-weed. It’s he keeps fucking trying and we have a responsibility to demonstrate that he will not have an easy time getting there. We won’t allow it. #NoKings

So tired of misinformation. Please check before you repost.

Suffolk County (Long Island) NY is not the red bastion they try and convince us it is. A large, peaceful, and galvanizing gathering today in Huntington. #NoKings

Normalize journalism being more than a page full of quoted tweets. Every article I click on from Reddit news subs is garbage. And a lot of them here tbh.

The most inspiring chapters in our nation's history came when Americans faced down some of our country's darkest demons. Those moments, like our own, were difficult to live through but also brought the chance to bring out the best in us, with enduring consequences.

Trying very hard not to murderize the lady in my chorus group chat who insists we sign our texts because “she’s on android” even though I’ve told her a hundred times to add us to her contacts. Maybe I’ll just do it for her. My gen x blood pressure can’t handle boomer incompetence today.

Looks like we’re all just one traumatic brain injury away from becoming Republican. I’m signing a DNR and leaving instructions for my medical POA.

June 14 No Kings Day.

This was an emotional roller coaster weekend. Between feeling proud of the LA protesters but sad that the burning cars are being used to label it a riot, the continuing attacks on universities and scientists, and the situation with the aid ship going to Gaza, I’m feeling emotional burnout.

Misspell one word and suddenly find yourself in the visible mending feed.

It’s like the dem leadership gets together and asks, “what’s the best move we could make at this point?” and then do the exact opposite of that

NO TERFS

Here I am 56 & trying to get back to the level of fit I had in my early 40s. I’m on week 10 and upped my strength training from 20 min to 30 min 3x/wk. It really feels like a big jump in exertion and I feel tired and draggy. Maybe for the first few weeks I’ll go down in weight to get acclimated?

What I think of when they shorten the spending bill to BBB

As a former fundamentalist Christian I can assure you that this mentality is rampant and destructive: rather than following Christ’s teaching to care for his creations, they toss aside any responsibility because they have the pie in the sky to look forward to. It’s unconscionable.

I know we have to conserve our energy and can’t advertise all the things we support 24/7, but as a mom to 2 lgbt adults I’m really grateful to those who don’t need to decorate their SM in rainbows on 6/1 because they’ve been doing the work the other 11 months of the year. ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💜🤎🖤🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

I’m a teeny bit embarrassed how much I’m enjoying this whole 🌮 thing. Matching energy with the name calling man-baby.

Why do the actors’ names sound like actual Hogwarts students?

The big, grizzled Long Island guy working on my boiler didn’t see me when he told the person on the phone he knows he’s in the minority but he thinks trumps an idiot. We had a nice conversation after he noticed me nearby & apologized, & I assured him he’s not as much in the minority as he thinks.

A bit more sock mending, this time for Elder Child who popped in for a quick visit. I made these socks SO long ago and I’m so happy to give them a life extension.

My Nosferatu review: Pretty visuals. An abundance of cheekbones.

Menders, what technique do you recommend for a hole in a hand knit sock that is relatively old and somewhat felted, and too large for my Speedweve loom? #Mending #MendingSocks #SockMending #VisibleMending

My husband’s favorite jeans are wearable again!! Details in alt text #Mending #VisibleMending #Sashiko #Patches

Addendum to my last sad little post: I left my desk and went to the kitchen and made cookie bars. Baking usually helps turn my attention outward to healthier ruminations. Like how the hell do I get the lumps out of this brown sugar (I microwaved it). #Baking #ExistentialDread

I remember a time when I could cry about one thing at a time. Now my brain just piles on every worry and stress and I end up paralyzed. Congrats Republicans this lib is crying more just like you wanted.

Nor’easter heading this way, tomato seedlings are chilly but protected!

For REASONS I have to have a Facebook account. As I get older it’s common to accept a friend request and then immediately have to snooze them because they are a habitual inane post sharer. BlueSky is so much tidier.
