NEW: Some personal advice (not legal advice) on how to respond to the five bullets email. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/how-to-res...

This article from before the 3 year anniversary of the start of the invasion on President Zelenskyy is worth revisiting since the staged Oval Office assault. open.substack.com/pub/viktorkr...

Today I had the privilege to stay home, didn’t shop online, instacarted our groceries yesterday since I’m still 🤧, made grilled ham&cheese sammiches for dinner, watched a DVD of True Lies for entertainment instead of streaming anything, and 🤢 at the POTUS 🇺🇦 news. We’ll see if the boycott helps.

In this house we #StandWithUkraine Pin from @dissentpins.bsky.social for after the economic blackout

Y’all need to read this whole thread re: the economic boycott for today, and the future ones planned. “It costs you nothing to spend nothing.” And it could be the start of something.

Last night I watched Runaway Jury in memory of Gene Hackman. It’s on a platform we already subscribe to and didn’t have ads, and is a great movie about doing an end run around jury consultants and the gun industry in the 90’s, and Mr. Hackman was excellent as the villain as always. Well worth it.

She said it best. They don’t want to defend women at all.

This is the Princess doing a perfect impersonation of me still being sick. I took myself back to the health center for another eval and different meds. I think my cold is finally gone, but an underlying sinus infection has taken firm hold and is laying me low. So, yeah. Zzzzzz

Appropriate tee for today. Woke up this morning still feeling very crummy with my “just a cold.” (Thanks to the overworked nurse who didn’t read my chart so just asked me to explain CVID for being dismissive of my immuno def.) Maybe a nap might help. I’ll be missing the birthday party next door. 😷

Things my brain has been stuck on in happy ways. “And I see your true colors shining through…”🎶 @npr.org Help people heal. www.npr.org/2026/01/01/1...

Alas no Ymir for us. The winds of the storm last weekend seem to have stirred up a cough/cold & a 2ndary ear infection in me that has been lingering. I responsibly went to the health center on Tues to get tested, Cov-FluAB-Strep all neg, but couldn’t get an antibiotic Rx w/ their internet out.

Just a reminder that there are many things we can do from submitting comments to the passport applications gender categories and FAFSA forms to public comments at school boards and elected officials. We need to stand up for our trans and non-binary family, friends, and neighbors. Links in comments.

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

Went for a walk with Willow in the new snow today. It’s pretty if cold. Thankfully light and not mushy.
