“The 24 hour Economic Blackout as our first initial act, we turn it off. For one day we show them who really holds the power,” said the People’s Union Founder John “J” Schwarz, in a statement sent to the AFRO. “Corporations and banks only care about their bottom line.”

I am fighting my way through the afternoon with the office hazed by Divorced Man Cologne. But tonight is delicious soup, and the last of the blood orange olive oil cake, and a new season of Reacher! I need a dose of Lorge Man Punches Evil.

May he live to witness the worst of what his work has wrought, survive long enough to watch the last of his legacy defeated by the dawning day of a future he tried to kill, and hold neither power nor peace for a single moment of it.

This is an important point! Medicaid cuts in particular are DEEPLY unpopular, and there are a number of Republicans in swing districts or who fancy themselves moderate who are not excited to vote for this. This is a fight we can win.

What's that, client? Since your very limited availability (one day a week for a specific two hours) means we can't schedule you for a month, you want the boss to open the office on the weekend at a time of your choosing just for you? Let me see what she has to say about that.

True love is reading together in comfortable silence.

Day started out poorly as I scraped four inches of snow off my car to slog to work...but I have two new Edelweiss ARCS!

Got the treadmill to work this morning, and--annoyingly!--I feel better and have more energy after walking a brisk half-mile before breakfast.

Friends, may I point you at these #ebook bundles? We could use some sales just now. 🙂 And if you’re not interested, might I ask you to reskeet this so that others who might be interested can see? Thanks! ❤️ www.tumblr.com/dduane/77511... #ebooksky #booksky

so say we all

A blessing

You know it's Monday when you can't make the treadmill work (the remote has four buttons, ffs) and end up crying in the shower about it.

Reminder that while the “He Gets Us” ads pretend to be “inclusive”/care about everyone, up until 2024, the group that ran them (The Servant Foundation) donated over $60 million to an anti-abortion, anti-contraception, anti-LGBT rights conservative legal advocacy group (Alliance Defending Freedom).

Too true!

That “HE GETS US” ad is funded by an extreme right wing org. Using Johnny Cash’s cover of Depeche Mode’s “Personal Jesus” - a scathing critique of right-wing televangelists preying on the unwary - is a spectacular self-own.

Conan ripped his ancient broadsword from its scabbard and held the naked blade aloft. "Even if you feel there is naught else," the giant roared, his eyes blazing with the intensity of his emotion, "by Crom live for goddamn spite!"

Coworker is on her third day of enforced WFH because one child got sick and passed it on to the other, and while I feel her pain of trying to answer emails and do Zooms with Troll movies in the background and a bottle of aspirin just offscreen...

Niece (who is turning 11, HOW) likes "cute things", fantasy, and Pokemon per my brother. One plushie Eeevee in a flower crown and copies of @stephanieburgis.bsky.social's The Dragon with a Chocolate Heart and its sequel purchased! My work here is done.

Please, please, please, I would watch it on a loop for 24 hours.

‘Every reader exists to ensure for a certain book a modest immortality.’ (Manguel’s, The Library At Night) Shakespeare focused it somewhat the other way in Sonnet 18: So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

The USA has had two major plane crashes in the last 4 days. The USA had previously not suffered a major plane crash for 16 years. ‘DEI’ programs have existed for decades. So what was it that changed in the last 14 days or so to suddenly cause so many crashes?

I would like the Democrats to realize that they should run on a “make Musk and Trump personally and specifically suffer” platform

Welp, spouse had norovirus from Saturday night through yesterday afternoon, and it hit me like a runaway train on the way home from work yesterday, so good morning from the land of Gatorade and groaning.

So here’s my thought: I’m not asking anyone to trust these people. I’m not asking you to take them into your hearts. But. My personal plan is when someone tells me this, to tell them that they were lied to, and I’m sorry that happened, and they deserve a better leader.

We go now live to BREAKING CAT NEWS! www.gocomics.com/breaking-cat...

Good morning, I am absolutely VIBRATING with stress for several Reasons, most of which I can't talk about right now, please send good wishes, calming words, kitten pictures. aaaaAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAA *Tina Belcher panicked moan continues*

I'm living in an extended stay hotel, and most of my belongings are in storage. My storage unit's monthly payment is due in a few days, but I don't get paid again until next week. Any help would be amazing. #MutualAidRequest #TransCrowdFund cash.app/$Settiai paypal.me/poicelle venmo.com/u/Settiai

In small hopeful things, the Episcopal church I drive past on my way to work used to have a big truck with Trump signs parked in its lot almost every day. I haven't seen that truck in about a month, and from last Friday on the church has been flying the Pride flag along with its church flag.

Kurt Vonnegut pointed out that "we are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.” People who do the Nazi salute in public to "pretend to be Nazi to upset the libs", are in fact Nazis doing the Nazi salute. Lets stop giving them bullshit excuses.

Being terrified was starting to give way to being really angry.

Per my boss the attorney (who took a peek at the work inbox from home since today is a federal holiday and the office is closed), there are upwards of ten inquiries about initial consultations and representation. Mostly from women, about divorce. Tomorrow is going to be a DAY.
