My Saturday morning plans

Sunday reading with a cozy cup of tea 🫖

Coral Island for this cold Sunday

Optimist: the cup is half full Pessimist: the cup is half empty Historian: A controversy over "half full/half empty" led to the 'Tavern Keepers' Revolt' in Prague in 1773. As a result, the Imperial Stein was redefined as at least one dram of beer beyond a half-full beer stein.

Finished Playground by Richard Powers this morning while drinking tea and cuddled by two cats. What a book. What an experience. 10/10.

If Matt Gaetz DIDNT rape a minor, the GOP would have released the report. Just fyi

We should not be surprised that the Republican House majority’s first action is to focus back on attacking trans people. It’s cruel, shameful and does nothing to address lowering costs for families.

Best way to end a long day ❤️

Nancy Mace could show better moral values by defending a transgender person’s rights to use the bathroom than defending a sexual predator’s rights to be in government. Is the new Christianity pedophelia?

Leave it to Jon Stewart 💥 Mika Brzezinski: “Joe and I went to Mar-a-Lago to meet personally with President-elect Trump. And for those asking, why would we speak to the president-elect during such fraught times… I would ask back, why wouldn’t we?” Jon Stewart: “Because you said he was Hitler!”

Anyone who spends $60 on one of his Bibles while claiming they can’t afford milk and eggs needs a fucking reality check.

For as long as I live, I will never understand how anyone could have chosen Trump over this.

If anyone needs some comfort reading in these troubled and troubling times, I suggest A Psalm for the Wild-Built, and its companion A Prayer for the Crown Shy, both by Becky Chambers. They are quiet, hopeful gems - life affirming, questioning and kind. Your heart needs a balm, and these will do.

Isn’t she perfect!?

1.2 Millions Americans died because of his negligence, while he was sending our lifesaving supplies to Putin.

Trans rights are human rights.

If Matt Gaetz is so innocent, why is the Congressional ethics report buried? Why did he grovel for a pardon from Trump? Why did he fight tooth and nail to block the FBI? And why is Speaker Johnson protecting him? What are they hiding? The American people won’t be fooled—we deserve the truth NOW

Lunch break reading. Playground by Richard Powers

You voted for a criminal, a sexual predator, a deranged sociopath buffoon with no moral compass who repeatedly promised to get ‘revenge’ and target his political opponents. What did you think was going to happen?

Stardew Sunday ⭐️👩‍🌾🎣

Now is a good time to remind everyone that Matt Gaetz was the only 'no' vote in the entire Congress against legislation that targeted human trafficking

Alice got to play in the leaves!

Notice how the same folks who called Kamala Harris “unqualified” are excited about a Fox News host and Matt Gaetz landing jobs they’re wildly unfit for

Please support bookshops. Independent bookshops. They are so wonderful. Yes you pay a little more. But I think of it as paying for the experience. The experience of browsing. And that oh-so-important bookshop smell. 🖖 Fu** big corporations.

Fuck it, whales are fish. More soon.

Goodreads is owned by Amazon & there is an AMAZING alternative‼️ The StoryGraph is a black women-owned competitor to GoodReads with better UI in my opinion. When you sign up you can even transfer your data from Goodreads to StoryGraph!

Good morning from Daisy!

I can't respect any Christian who follows the least Christ-like person in the country.

🌟 Heavy pressure on the 1st post. I think I’m going to start out the right way and keep this as a reminder to protect my energy. Here are 5 affirmations to use in this stressful and tumultuous time. 🖤

My Alice and my Daisy

Sunday afternoon= farming sim time

Even though it wasn’t the result I wanted, I feel like my inner child healed this election. I hope that lost kid would be proud of how we voted. #exevangelical

I’m Emily, I love cats, pop music, books that make me feel like a badass, and cozy videos games. ❤️
