For Black History Month (The Feds can suck a dick): Read author-activist James Baldwin’s essay The Fire Next Time which gives voice to the Civil Rights Movement & still helps us understand race in America. Listen to The Baldwin 100 podcast on Spotify, brought to you by Penguin & the Baldwin Family.

Bluesky Buddies. I have been off the grid for the past couple of months. I was helping my sibs care for our elderly father until his death. He’s the guy who dragged me in a wagon to do lit drops. I hope to post a sort of tribute to Dad later this weekend.

pro tip: if you said nothing when Donald Trump pardoned donors, cronies, extended family members and war criminals, then sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up about Joe Biden pardoning his own son. just put a fucking sock in it

Good morning! Remember, you don't have to eat one chocolate a day from the Advent calendar. You can eat them all and then get another calendar. Stick with me for more great Holiday tips! 🎄

Morning Bluesky ☕️...*sigh* Maybe tomorrow. At least it's Friday.

The great and powerful Oz was actually a dimwit behind the curtain, but his flying monkeys still shredded the Scarecrow. Lord help Medicare, Medicaid, and the ACA.

Ok I’m late to the party but I swear the DNC and current Dem leadership would fuck up a wet dream.

The ability for the rich and corporations to spend endless amounts of money influencing our elections has brought us to where we are. We have to put an end to it.

Repost from @gratefuldeadpool.bsky.social If I’m gonna be in a cult, it’s the cult of rage right now. Grrrrr.
