“Never feel sorry for raising dragon-slayers in a time when there are actual dragons.” ⚔️

Thou shalt not snatch people off the streets for their opinions.

In my early 20s, I worked in health and safety at an engine bearing manufacturing plant, helping the H&S manager meet OSHA requirements. The injuries that can happen without high standards are no joke.

Putting together a new playlist for these times and harkening back to when my people didn’t tolerate the power plays of billionaires #appalachia

“I play this tune for all immigrants that came to this country…whatever country they came from. I think ‘immigrant’ has become a bad word these days, and without the immigrant, this country would be nothing.” - Joanie Madden #stpatricksday #celtic #immigration

A fitting tune for this weekend! ☘️ 🎶 #stpatricksday #fight #nokings #resist #oligarchy #fdt

Postcard time! Address: Pennsylvania Avenue #TheIdesOfTrump #fdt #resist #nokings #madking #oligarchy

Preach!

Asheville!

“Hope is the consequence of action, rather than its cause.”

Just called my GA state rep to urge him to vote NO on SB74 which allows for the criminalization of librarians and opens the door for censorship. GA lawmakers should stop targeting libraries/intellectual freedom and work on something to actually improve the lives of Georgians. #localpolitics #resist

🤎 Local coffee shop Friday 🤍

Vive la France! 🇫🇷

Casting on my “Non-Cooperation Brick” this morning. 🧱 8647 (Pattern by Hannah Roderick) #fdt #resist #nokings #oligarchy #showmeyourknits

Will be buying with cash today as my middle child and I do our weekly, Friday, homeschool morning-out, at our local, independent coffee shop.

FACTS: Zelenskyy is a hero. Putin is a war criminal. Russia has killed civilians. Russia started the war by invading Ukraine. Russia has been losing the war the entire time. Russia has had >800,000 casualties in the war. Europe has helped Ukraine >2x as much as the US has.

Just canceled my Audible membership and will be using Libro.fm instead. I want to support local bookstores, not Amazon.

We’re the bad guy now. Shameful.

The math does not math.

In the park where all the guillotines were. Cathartic. #PlacedelaNation #TriomphedelaRépublique #oligarchy #resist #nokings

What I’ve been saying for years. “…The type of thing that *my* people *used* to write scathing country songs and march with coal miners over. And, now look at us…singing the boss man’s praises and marching straight towards the cliff’s edge with a smile on our face. It’s a damned shame!” #appalachia

Finding our trip to France particularly inspiring right now #LibertyLeadingthePeople #Louvre #oligarchy #guillotine #resist #revolución #nokings

Grounding info here “Few things are more damaging to a democratic society than avoiding political conversations.”

Independent journalism in the face of a mad king “Limiting our access to the Oval Office based on the content of AP’s speech not only severely impedes the public’s access to independent news, it plainly violates the First Amendment.” #1stamendment #associatedpress #APstyle #gulfofmexico

Thanks again, Wikipedia 🩶 “At Donald Trump’s inauguration, the CEOs of the companies who run the world’s six most popular websites sat alongside Trump’s family on the dais. There was no such representative for the next-most-popular site: Wikipedia.” #fundWikipedia
