Showing up to march: A start to stopping this coup. Find more ways to act. #zentao

Just because I call someone Poopsicle” doesn’t mean that’s his real name. Same applies to international waters.

Heya, popping in briefly today to reshare an announcement. @writingtheother.com is offering an "Are You My Ally?" webinar in March. The webinar is available to attend live or to download as a recording. Can you please share or RT? writingtheother.com/are-you-my-a...

It’s a small irritation in this dumpster fire world, but my 11:10 flight now won’t leave until 3:10. My laptop is out of juice and my charger is in my checked bag. I have a notebook and pen, so I guess I’ll write a book…but still.

If you're not anxious, you're not paying attention. It's really that bad. #zentao

THIS!!! MORE. OF. THIS. www.mlive.com/news/grand-r...

Ordering the CDC to stop all public communications in the middle of a bird flu epidemic is definitely a choice. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/22/h...

Bravo. And Coughenour is a Reagan appointee, no less.

The little fire (well, 45 acres worth) has been stopped from progressing and the level 2 evacuation has been lifted. My daughter and I (and my aunt) had evacuated just in case, and are now heading back. Note to universe: Enough already with the interesting times.

Oh hell. Fire literally up the street from my aunt’s house where I’m staying. Prepped and ready to go, but…ain’t we got fun.

Late night thoughts: take time to consider what you can change for the better, and what is not under your control. It might seem like there is little you can do but doing seemingly small things over time can have a profound effect. You will feel better for doing something - really.

Oh, fun. The Hughes Fire now has evacuation zones on both sides of I-5. We are quite sensibly detouring toward the coast. Will take longer, but O Well.

Washington folk! If you see ICE agents or marked vehicles, please report it immediately to Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network at 1-844-724-3737. If you or someone you know needs legal assistance, call the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project at 1-800-445-5771 or visit www.nwirp.org.

Wow

So we’re driving on I-5 to La. Ahead of us in the sky is what looks like a jet trail that (at this point) seems weirdly static. We discuss what it might be, and I think “It looks like someone put their nail through the fabric of the universe.” 1/2

Oooh! I’m almost home with my sweetie, and I have a brand new dressing gown to wear for New Year’s Eve! The only thing that could make it better is having a snoring dog glaring when fireworks go off nearby.
