y'all. i use chatgpt a lot for studying. today's words of encouragement from the AI: “Let Handmaid’s Tale remind you that there are worse fates than this exam.” that's..... not very comforting.

The song No Woman No Cry often makes me cry. It's not that it has some sentimental meaning for me or anything. I think it's just my natural "fuck you, you can't tell me what to do" attitude.

Look, I know the weather's nice today. But there is no reason for this mosquito to be trying to attack me like it is.

Harry Enten is my celebrity crush. 💙

I only caught the last 30 seconds of that trump/ zelensky presser. That was enough for me to WTF all over the place. Not sure I want to go back and watch the rest... I'm sorry to the Ukranians. I just... what?

Arizona AG Kris Mayes, New Mexico AG Raul Torrez, and Oregon AG Dan Rayfield will begin holding Community Impact Hearings — a national series of townhalls "to hear from the public about the impact of federal firings and DOGE funding freezes across the country." The first will be in Phoenix March 5.

Trump: "I can tell you everything I've done for the last long period of time. More than a week." I highly doubt that.

If Republicans in Congress want to find federal employees who feel entitled and waste taxpayer money without providing value who barely show up to work, perhaps they should start in their own caucus.

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

The American Dream: now available for $5M! Trump’s Gold Card lets the ultra-rich buy U.S. citizenship, because why work for it when you can just pay? Merit is out, money is in. 🇺🇸💰 www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

This seems legit.

This is still my personal account, and I promise not to be all spammy with it. But, with Tom's recent diagnosis we are looking for ways to make up some of the lost income. If you have any interest in political tees or just want to be supportive, please follow the shop: @tee-sistance.bsky.social

My partner was recently diagnosed w/ a debilitating condition & I am starting a politically prorgressive tee biz to hopefully make up some of the lost income. Check it out- you can use this link for 10% off through the end of the month. Always free shipping! Thanks tee-sistance.com/discount/BLU...

Spineless, yellow-bellied, lily-livered, weak-kneed, pusillanimous chickenshits.

This is the most cowardly administration in history.

I am so glad that Tom is home from hospital. I love him & don't mind taking care of him AT ALL. But, a reminder to all caretakers (& everyone) to take time to take care of you. I'm digging out my arts & craft supplies. Creating a schedule to make sure I set aside some mental health time for ME.

Early morning conversations with AI....

Fucking hell. abcnews.go.com/Politics/fed...

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

On the phone with my oldest just now. Him: Do you think any of this will finally be enough to convince John Stewart to(pause) Me: Do a full week? Him, at same time: run for President. Me: Oh, that too. Him: A full week? Nah, I gotta bigger plans for this MF. C'mon.

RFK Jr has been confirmed as HHS Secretary. In other news, Republicans have no spines. Sounds like a pretty serious health issue.

Good morning! I'm up, but not sure I'm moving and ready yet. Hopefully the other half will be sent home today. Just waiting on insurance to approve the home health plan. Wishing good days for everyone, but I def feel like this cat looks right now 😂

The incels finally found someone to fuck and it’s America.

My 18 year old just walked in, watched this press conference for about a minute, shook his head and said "We need someone that's good with words." I miss Obama.

Putin didn't want to have peace with Biden. And tell you why? Idk. Maybe because Biden wouldn't bend over and take it like you do? Just going out on a limb....

It's the same picture.

I'm not knocking Fogel's release. It is a good thing. But, they've been so tight lipped on what they gave up to get him home. I guess now we know. www.nbcnews.com/news/world/h...

Well… today I have my first DOGE subcommittee hearing along with a Judiciary hearing, all while DC is snowed in! If I had normal coworkers & the country wasn’t going to hell lead by DOGE Douchebags, I’d say, “nothing to see here,” but something tells me, today is going to be pure insanity…

Day 1 he said. He was gonna fix it all on day 1. www.cnn.com/2025/02/12/b...

He apologized, butI would like it if Anderson Cooper told more people to not be a dick. Call them out every time.

My partner has been in hospital for 9 days dealing w/ an infection and recently disagnosed with a dibilitating condition. Just got word that bloodwork is clear, & he may be released soon. Feel free to send any good mojo our way. The kids really miss him (and so do I!) Need a bit of positivity.
