Watching "The Kings of Tupelo" and y'all...if you've never lived in the Deep South, I can see why you'd wonder if it was a mockumentary. I wondered about that myself, for just a minute, until I remembered my younger brother was born in a house trailer, with a goat midwife in attendance.

My husband and I are both disabled but since I am in the middle of a flare he has cooked and done the dishes and taken care of our pets today while I have rested in bed. He is my hero for that but would be embarrassed to know I called him that in front of the entire internet.

Got our Tu BiShValentine's Day (ht: @theradr.bsky.social ) rings in today! My husband and I have no emotional attachment to wedding bands; we weren't permitted to exchange them in our cult wedding, so we switch them out every now and again. These are from Enso Rings.

For fuck’s sake, could we NOT with the cultural appropriation for one teensy moment? (Unfortunately I know these folks. I can’t tell if they are carrying weapons as they usually do, but I do know they are trying for some “mantle of Elijah” bs.)

I needed to jazz up an outfit and these should do quite nicely; the beads are almost the exact colour of the yarn I’m using for my sweater.

US farmers sold $2 billion of food to USAID. Not any more. - US farmers provided 41% of food delivered by USAID - $340M of purchases/shipments are now paused. Over 680,000 tonnes. - Food stranded in Houston - Aid stopped in transit. The world’s poor starving, food rotting & US farmers screwed.

Elon Musk's infiltration of Treasury payment systems means access to Social Security numbers, tax refunds and sensitive data. I am proud to join @housedemocrats.bsky.social in introducing the Taxpayer Data Protection Act to prevent unelected billionaires from gaining access to the treasury.

It’s just bleak that there’s a considerable amount of people who are like “thank goodness the worlds richest human being is stopping the tyranny of the consumer financial protection bureau and that guy who collects atmospheric data”

Implicit in Susan Collins "reasoning" re: her Vought vote (if you can even call it that) is the idea that presidents have a right to pick their own teams. But Collins voted against 85 Biden nominees, all of them highly credentialed. (Google them!) So that rationale doesn't hold water. #MEpolitics

Thing I Did Today: Contacted my bank and asked what they intend to do to protect me and every client of theirs against this massive data breach. Maybe if we pressure from that side of things, it will help? Banks don't want to be responsible for this data theft.
