The only things getting me through these foreboding Pre-Inauguration-of-Caligula days are family, friends, those amazing photos of the universe’s nebulas & stories of people in LA helping each other. ❤️

Looking at these amazing photos of nebulas you realize we are just a little speck that makes up the universe. We will always have challenges and worries but we are never alone.

I have to admit that I was tickled by your reference to Caligula. I got to thinking, Caligula meant little boots. I wonder what the word would have been for little gloves 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is the truth for the entire world. All of us have to stick together and support each other whether we are in the US or Mexico or Canada or Greenland or Great Britain or Panama in fact the whole world. Trump is bringing a reign of bullshit, garbage, threats and lawlessness to the entire world.
Caligula was seriously UNPOPULAR. Plots against his life soon became commonplace. He was murdered by his closest advisors, including members of his Praetorian Guard. (MAGA) To prevent reprisals, they also killed his wife and daughter.
But in the back of your mind...the kids that were at home during covid that learned to read late are going into middle school. Middle School teacher in Cary. NC just sat down in a bar next to my dad last night and proudly said she was conservative republican. Couldn't justify voting for Trump.
Yes, times are dark, and unfortunately, Anita Bryant was alive as of the beginning of last December. But thankfully, that situation has been rectified.
Also, Rush Limbaugh is still absent from the realm of the living. And Henry Kissinger has ceased to be.
Please post any information you have about GOP reps showing up in public, town halls, press events, etc. Like the Tea Party did, we need to loudy confront them with their horrific plans so that everyone can see.
The rattlesnakes are hibernating this time of year, but soon the rattle-cams for this project in Colorado and California will be busy again. Fascinating!
Fire crews are bivouacked at the Rose Bowl where a pop-up help distribution center and food trucks have created an organic support system. The best of people.
Bit of a problem comparing Trump to a mad Roman Emperor like Caligula. After all, natural cause of death for Roman Emperors include murder by the Praetorian Guards. The Secret Service are not so blatantly corrupt like the Praetorians.
That was a piss poor attack on so many levels. Not using the lithium in the CyberWankPanzer for a more aggressive fire, and choosing fireworks and lpg gas when there are more efficient impromptu explosives?
And, for me, knowing I’m not watching a second of it, in fact not acknowledging it at all, it’s TCFs (the conflicted felon) ceremonial farce. He is NOT my president!
Dreading the thought of Emperor Full-Of-Shiticus taking his throne. Concerned that 22 months might be enough time for his Project 2025 fascists to dismantle democracy.
If they can't, hoping we have the sense to flip Congress on 11/3/2026 to end this. If we don't, America is toast.
It's helping me that my 20 yo daughter (who I am still worried for, because I've watched The Handmaid's Tale) has made it clear she wants to fight for her country.
You shouldn't have to. And it is bad living under it day after day down here (already). My husband is eligible for Canadian citizenship. Sometimes I think it would be good if he got it.
There’s a difference between Caligula and Trump. Several historians think Caligula’s depravities have been exaggerated by his enemies. Trump’s crimes and his malevolence have been underreported.
Might not be of any use to you, but I just pulled two beautiful whole wheat loaves out of the oven - the payoff of the time for double rise, punch down, kneading and an hour at 350
The house smells great
And it tastes very good - even a bit cakey.
Just being able to comment and feel appreciated and understood makes our community a necessity more and more each day! We can’t accept defeat as a death sentence! We need to reach each other’s deepest hurt and be there to listen! And be listened to. That’s what “good neighbors” do! 💪🏻💙🫡
Trump stole the election… he didn’t need your vote and musk said technology was easy to hack and Johnson said he and trump have a secret… in plain sight and no one challenged it
Any evidence beyond them saying things? They both truly are hyped up idiots, don't give them that much credit, they are full of evil, but smart? We spot all their bs all the time man.
There are citizens of the World's nations that will never understand what happened to the USA. A country that we used to idolize... Not anymore nor never ever...
In these dark pre-Inauguration days, finding hope in kindness, connection, and the beauty of the universe feels like a quiet rebellion. ❤️ #HopeInHumanity #WePersist
Very much the same way your videos got me through deconstruction from a very toxic lifestyle/mindset. Leaving one's foundational indoctrination carries a lot of challenges, and your truth bombs wrapped in laughter brought some fun to the process. Sending you so much love and appreciation.🌺💛
Ditto here! That's why this community is crucially important right now. If we are to survive the hellish onslaught of absurdity coming our way, we need friends, like-minded folks, wisdom, patience, and perseverance!!!
Totally understand. When those disastrous results came in, I immediately made the decision to leave Texas (they voted for Dumpus AND Ted Cruz)
Now - temporarily in Arizona - I know NO ONE (except Spouse) and I go out of my way to avoid people.
One day at a time…until I can figure something else out
Oh gosh. I haven’t watched cable news since the election. Texas voted in Cruz, really?? The guy who fled the state in the midst of power outage. The D candidate was heads above C. I bet it was his skin tone.
I'm single, disabled, broke, unable to move, living with MAGA family. Which is literally abusive hell at this point. I'm starting to hope he starts a nuclear war so at least I die fast.
I wish. I basically get forced out of my home for because they can't accept that I don't want to argue with them about it. When I say I don't want to talk about it anymore and shut myself in my room, I get screamed at until I break. I have to find a new place but I'm struggling to find a better job.
You are an easy target for them because they know you’re “trapped” (FOR NOW) Maybe invest in noise-cancelling headphones? I would not do well in this situation because I spend most of my energy trying not to slap people
OMG- 😱 my husband always refers to this time period as Caligula - I haven’t heard anyone else do that, but touché! Unfortunate truth! And I agree with your sentiment 100%!
Get this, a realtor surprised my 19 year old daughter when 2 tow trucks showed up to pull her out of a ditch (blizzard) and one said "well I've already been paid" cause she witnessed the accident and it wasn't my kids fault. There are more good people in the world than bad people.

These endless threats by republicans, are acts of terrorism.

Better run kids...
It's also showing up Trump and the Republicans for the petty, childish, bullying, malicious narcissists they are.
Also, Rush Limbaugh is still absent from the realm of the living. And Henry Kissinger has ceased to be.
So, there's that.

(FYI, the Colorado rookery is far more active than the California one.)
However there maybe no elections with these fascists.
We need to have a place to vent without being attacked.

I can't believe WE have to think like this because of 🇺🇲s shit storm.
But please for your sake, take this seriously. You guys deserve better.
IDK how this all works.
I only looked at Australian citizenship once, after my ex & I split.
Glad I stayed. Happily married to #2 ❤️❤️

Smiling am I
I started baking my bread in '73
I do it for health - both physical and mental
Plus - NOBODY bakes bread as good as me
[nobody commercial]
And I get WIDE variety (last week I did a mozzarella loaf)
Pre-Caligula days!
Perhaps you would care to adopt that. I'm sure that he wouldn't mind.
I read it and all hope was crushed.
It's terrifying.
