I’m a single parent with one kid in college on small but significant (and much-needed) scholarships. And I own a home which is not yet paid off. So … a triple whammy. 🤬🤬🤬 indeed.

Trump is deporting the guy who mows your lawn but releasing the guy who bashed a police officer’s head in back to your community.

A new bill would further clamp down on abortions in Indiana by banning procedures using pills and requiring women to file an affidavit of rape to meet one of the state’s few exceptions.

Hmmm … who should I share this development with at the Thanksgiving dinner table? 🤣

For my Okie friends.

Sounds about right.

🚨NEW: Former GOP Senator and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel has come out in opposition to Trump’s nomination of Pete Hegseth to lead the Defense Department. REPOST to thank Hagel for standing up for our democracy!

Good morning - happy Friday. (The flowers say hi, too.)

Hey Bluesky friends, please help @freedomstriver.bsky.social feel the love here … he’s one of the best humans I know.

Man, I’m on the Struggle Bus - just too much *dramatically sweeps hands* “out there” for me today. Anyone else? Memes, photos, jokes, inspiration welcome - whatcha got?

@zombiegirl1972.bsky.social Hey - followed you from Threads - you left your link there for me (new name here)

Music break: My 24yo daughter recently introduced me to the sounds of Clairo. Went to Philly for my birthday to see her in concert. Such an amazing experience - color me a new fan! Happy to see she’s been nominated for a Grammy. pitchfork.com/news/2025-gr...

So this is showing up in Indiana. And my town.

💉💉💉

Not to brag but I don't need a panic room, I can panic anywhere.

This morning, a friend texted, “He slid into my DMs ...” and my immediate response was, “Why is it always sliding - why not sashaying or say, scooting?” Apparently, I was missing the point.

Well now …

@bevyresists.bsky.social I also love and adore every possible way to integrate f-bombs into my daily joy. 🥹👊🏼

What he said ⬇️ Ditto re: cool people, smart things. And also, so much wit on one little screen. You guys warm-heart me. 💙

“What happened to the [random object] that I literally just had in my hand?” All. Day. Long.

People keep saying “he’s unhinged,” and I’m like, HE RODE DOWN A GOLDEN ESCALATOR!

Many commentators say that vigilante groups are never the answer. But they clearly don't know about the masked Ecuadorian trio named “Acción Ortográfica Quito,” who roam the streets at night with a singular purpose: to correct all the spelling and grammar mistakes they find in graffiti.

Dearest documentary fans, I’m growing my list of 2023-2024 must-see releases (just watched Fanatical: Catfishing of Tegan & Sara/Hulu - craving closure). Please share your top recommendations and thanks. 💙 #documentary #list

Distraction is the name of the game these days. So I decided to paint and stencil my fireplace tiles this weekend. What could go wrong?

Today’s mental health tip (from My Little Bag of Sweary Affirmations):

Waking up every day since Trump got reelected feels like Christmas morning except instead of presents, a punch in the stomach.

All the Trump cabinet announcements are like “And I’ve named this parrot that only knows how to say racial slurs to be Secretary of the Interior”

So this was written by Indiana’s newly elected Lt. Gov. (also the man behind the Fishers, IN book ban, which received national attention) - notice the sentence about democracy. And this is where we are. #indiana #politics #fascism

thought of the dayyy🤔

To all the @bsky.app veterans - thank you for building this place.

Good morning! Happy Tuesday. Be kind, be decent, but don't take a drip of shit from anyone. Rise, shine, and have the day you need. XO

@speechie57.bsky.social Welcome to the Sky of Blue! 💙
