If I open the door, is this overhang gonna drop on my head? Upstate NY mantra: we don't get hurricanes, we don't get earthquakes. Repeat until spring.

Tr.mp may say he’s given DOGE authority to make cuts throughout federal agencies, but this is meaningless blather for show because tr.mp does Not have the authority to make or authorize such cuts. Doing so is in clear violation of Articles I & II of the Constitution & of the 1974 Impoundment Act.

Let's get this circulated!! 😤

Getting sick of being cozy.

REPEAT AFTER ME: NOBODY VOTED FOR ELON MUSK PASS IT ON.

New monthly worry: SS deposit or not????

THIS IS WHAT WE WANT!! Stop them all. Freeze the Senate! Hawaii Senator Brian Schatz has announced he will put a blanket hold on all Trump diplomatic nominees. Go @brianschatz.bsky.social!

These are the clowns Congress refuses to stop.

They have names: Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran.

This is the winter of our discontent.

First full day of the Drump regime and we have a boil water advisory. The 2 must be connected!

How Oligarches fail, and how to speed it up youtu.be/UlbJtgYEM1U?...

Peltier has been in prison ever since the federal government accused him of murdering two FBI agents in a 1975 shoot-out on Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. www.huffpost.com/entry/joe-bi...

This is heartening to see! The resistance is beginning. I know we are tired. I know we are fearful. But we will make ourselves heard and reclaim this country from the grip of MAGA fascism. I’ve seen the inside of barbed wire prison camps in America. We came back from that and shall overcome this.

When folks wake up… Coming to a bar near you in about 6 months.

Some days I just want to sit on the couch with a blanket over my head.

Am I living the Waltons or the Jetsons? Making sourdough bread while setting up a robot vacuum. Still no flying cars though.

Reminder to self: we chose to live here!

Just bonked my mouth with a log bringing in wood for the stove. Even a dull life can be dangerous.

Our roof looks thatched!

Rewatching my Fred Astaire movies this winter to keep my blood pressure down.

Had to force the door open enough to slip through to shovel the door open!

MAGAs are majorly F-ed up.

Grappling with graupel. Ten inches and counting.

Winter storm warning for the next 4 days. No snow yet but winds are gusting up to 40mph; woodstove is still winning the comfort battle.

Kitty sleep is the best sleep.

Time to put a lifetime of recipe scribbles in one notebook instead of stuffed in poor Betty Crocker. Guess I found my winter project.

Is my lifestyle helping to save democracy and the planet or am I just very, very dull?

Day 10 of staying home (no working car) and the only thing I miss is going to the library. Note to self: buy more used books when the car is fixed.

Not fond of tea but willing to try Rooibos sent from my daughter.

My anxiety dream is moving day comes and nothing is packed. What does your anxious mind throw at you?

Stocked up our pantry last month. Good thing 'cause our one car is out of commission for 2 weeks, we're 8 miles from town, no public transport, no close friends or neighbors, and it's winter. Thank heavens for the internet and the fact that, even after 53 years together, we still like each other.

It also makes it harder for them to ban books.
