I was shocked today when my primary care provider said something that seemed to be in support of Trump. Stating money we sent to other countries would be reinvested into our own people. I pointed out that less than 1% of the federal budget went to foreign nations. To a well established doctor.

No, you are "krasota" 😝😂😂

Republicans have done this repeatedly and failed every time. They create Frankensteins and then act shocked when the monster hates them. Inevitably, their efforts collapse and our thermostatic politics further weakens them. It's not about how hard you hit. How hard can you get hit and keep going?

Mr. Musk's experience of reality is a radical departure from the average human experience, even though it remains based on evolutionary drives. He wants the US as a personal bauble, filled with people who laugh at his jokes as programmed by the computer chip he wants to put into your brain.

So...Elon Musk. Ammiright? Can we get him to carry a beeper?

It's only been a month since he was sworn in... Art by @dennisgoris.bsky.social

I think we may have to start talking about US 2.0 This not only has to be fought, it has to be prevented from ever happening again. That will involve uncomfortable power sharing for all parties concerned. History is inexorable. I have no idea what that world looks like, but I have hopes.

One day there will be a cold and a broken "Hallelujah"

One month in, Trump has the lowest approval of any President at this point of his career. It is a clear outlier. His approval rating stands generally at 47%. He won 48.5%It is literally already dropping at a statistically meaningful effect size. We must've been high. Hey, I been there too.

Meanwhile, I have an emotional support hot chocolate or tequila cocktail nearly every day. 🤦🏼‍♀️

This one seems like it might be targeting my job, which has nothing to do with trans issues or critical race theory. I just teach kids to read. Guess I'll see if I still have a job on Monday.

One of the only people willing to say our President is insane is one of the last people who should have to. #Ukraine

In this article, I try to think beyond professionalism. I also diagnose Trump with psychopathy and cognitive decline. As well, I assert the professionals in the intelligence community should neutralize Elon Musk. This is the way.

Welcome to the greatest civilizational collapse in 3000 years.

Embarrassingly, I grew up thinking my dad and JFK were drinking buddies, maybe chased some skirt together. It may be more embarrassing that that is actually possible, though deeply unlikely. Regardless, as far as I was concerned, as a confabulationist child, JFK was like an uncle to me. An example.

I was too busy today to find time to cry. Had to work with the kids, who have no idea what's happening. Not too busy to cry now. At least for a minute. Then I have things to do.

So I hope folks are okay. Largely, I have not been. This is absolutely terrifying and I've been on the verge of functional freeze. Nonetheless, I log on and get to work tutoring kids who need me. I do the work for my PhD and TEFL. I feed myself and try to sleep. We do what we can when we can do it.

Wonderfully archetypal video I have no apologies for sharing. It made me feel better. youtu.be/Qt87bLX7m_o?...

Not yet sure if the vibe change means I can promote the idea of guys wearing color yet....

The last few weeks have been absolutely terrifying. This is not the worst case scenario. In the worst case scenario they would be doing all this legally, and quite likely more slowly. They aren't. Take some hope from that. In the grand scheme, this is a historical hiccup. We will prevail.

Please, allow me the opportunity to be hyperbolic. These assholes couldn't find their own ass with both hands and a flashlight. I actually thought this was gonna be hard. This clown car of psychopathic narcissists doesn't stand a chance. They've gone full retard. We will prevail.

Hi guys.....(awkward grimace)......so, how ya doin'? I admit it, had a ton of shit going on, none of which went particularly well. Only so much bandwidth. So coming back, all I can say is..... HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!! "And as I try to make my way to the ordinary world, I will learn to survive."
