I think that the MAGAts can shut up about America owning Canada. Because Canada owns America. In hockey. Which is all that matters. Forgot where I was going with this, but Yay Canada.

Last night's dream: Traveling with @trixiemattel.bsky.social and @katya-zamo.bsky.social across the country to perform at various award shows. I started as a glorified roadie, ended up playing Alice in Wonderland (there was a wig involved - I'm brunette). Freud or Jung?

So. Lately I've been mildly obsessed with this song: Ah! It'll be fine, it'll be fine, it'll be fine Aristocrats to the lamp post! Ah! It'll be fine, it'll be fine, it'll be fine Aristocrats, We'll hang them! (Let's see if this will get me on a Watch List.) youtu.be/5hTMYk7orHw?...

Hi. Forty-eight-year-old woman of negligible melanin here. The message in last night's Super Bowl halftime was not for me. And I appreciated that. I still appreciated the message. Because it needed to be said. And it was done to a decent rhythm.

It's my birthday. I'd like a little justice, please. (And just in case somebody tries to Monkey Paw my old ass, include that gift receipt.)

If you told me in the 1990s that Donald Trump would be trying to destroy the nation and Flavor Flav would be attempting to fix it...

It's basic geography - you learned it in high school. It's right there on all the maps. It's been the Gulf of Mexico all this time, and you can't make me change my mind. Live with it. ...Did I do that right? I seem to be missing a vital asshole gene.

It was as cold here in BFE Oklahoma (and snowing some!) as it was in DC today. I hate the cold. I managed to run errands in it anyway. Just saying.

I know it'd be tasteless to make a joke about William Henry Harrison today, simply because WHH didn't do anything to deserve it... So consider this mention of him just getting it off my chest.

Everything is terrible, or at least it feels like it. As such, it's more important than ever to take some time for yourself. Remember to do something you enjoy, something that makes you smile, even if no one else understands why it gives you joy. You owe yourself your mental health.

Mom wanted "LOTS" of gravy for Thanksgiving dinner. Got a good-sized jar of the stuff. (The chicken recipe I'm using doesn't allow for good drippings for homemade.) She says we need more. ... Is my mother planning on drinking gravy on Thursday?

Honest goddamn question: How can you effectively look at the back of your head? I'm asking for me.

Heard a great dismissive phrase that I'mma use when I can: "Go with God and kiss my ass." Wishes you well and tells you to go to hell in one breath. Even better in Spanish: "Vaya con Dios y besame culo." I think the next 4 years will see a lot of use of this...

Wanna do something kind, which nowadays is a punk action? Donate to your local food bank, and make it a habit to do so once a month for the foreseeable future. More people will need food banks soon for various reasons. Do it for the kids it'll feed, because they'll remember and act accordingly.

I cherish every morning I wake up to good news. The Gods know how few and far between that will be soon. Thank you, @theonion.com, and dare I say Bless You.

I deactivated my account at The Bad Place. Feels... freeing. Like finding the social media account of that one Mean Girl that made school/work/life hard on you, and finding out she's in jail for helping her now-ex-husband fence video game systems. Or is it just me?

So... What's everybody's Comfort Reading List for after mid-January? I'm planning on diving head-first into my classic children/young adult literature shelf. Anne of Green Gables, Charlotte's Web, the Little House books where Ma doesn't hate Natives... I will take suggestions!

I just ordered some free Plan B. I'll have it tucked away in case anybody needs it. That's how we'll survive. Spite, kindness, and Chappell Roan songs.

Also, tonight's Coping Mechanism is foodie videos. Tonight I discovered Stephan Johnson. (Yes, this is me asking for suggestions.) At least the end of the commonwealth will be delicious.

I need profile/cover pictures for this. Real life, my cat, or Wonder Woman? Trying to make this place somewhat positive, but still strong AF. (If it helps, my cat is a calico with some stripes.)

My name is Lori (but you can call me Ducky), and I approve of this platform.
