Day 89 of PBAB. Bartered for these eggs instead of enriching a corporate farm, and got the dye kit from a neighbor who bought too many, and gave away a plant cutting in return. Local first!

Day 88 of PBAB. I did my spring gardening cleanup without shopping at Home Depot. My local hardware store carries mulch and I’m starting plants from seed this year. Don’t support businesses that supported this regime :D

Day 82 of PBAB: I have not shopped at Target since they decided to comply in advance. I’ve also cut out Home Depot. Amazon has gotten my money once (they drove a lot of people out of business and I’m still searching for some alternatives). Point is, if we have the choice, we can make the choice.

Day 79 of PBAB. Scout night. Tonight we talked disaster preparedness (jellybeans awarded for good answers and teamwork). I pointed out the importance of _federal_ warning systems so we could prepare, and the kids as usual led the way by deciding that helping one another was part of any good plan.

Day 78 of PBAB. I wrote my regular letters to my representatives asking them to take the energy from the rallies last weekend and _lead_ is. Tell us where to go and what letters to write. Don’t just want for that energy to find its own outlet. LEAD.

Day 77 of PBAB. Today I deliberately worked on not being snarky or ironic. Considering that is my primary means of communication, it took a LOT of effort. But I know that my net impact on the world today was a good one - and in 2025 “I didn’t make things worse for anyone” counts for something.

Day 75 of PBAB. I went to my local rally, and having been to local rallies before, I assumed it would be 20 people with posters standing at an intersection. Instead, it was 1000 people with posters lining all sides of the intersection and stretching for a half mile. We are not alone.

If we were conquered and under hostile occupation, what would the government do differently? Would an occupation government that wanted to crush the United States as a vibrant, prosperous country with influence around the world do anything differently?

Day 69 and 70 of PBAB. Yesterday was my media break. Today I think I managed to talk a child out of the dangers of libertarianism by asking if his rugged individual ass was going to refuse to ride in the tax funded ambulance on the tax funded road if he hit himself with the axe he didn’t make.

Day 68 of PBAB. I didn’t have time to do anything that could save the world today. I cleaned my house and hugged my family and friends and went to a little boy’s birthday party. It was a good day.

In other news, my vow to buy no #yarn in 2025 made it to…28 March. The Joanns situation means sales and I decided to try the Red Heart “all in one” flower square yarn. It works! If you go up three hook sizes and #crochet loosely.

Day 67 of PBAB. My go to apps right now are Finch and 5Calls. One’s for keeping my head together and my tasks done, and the other is for doing…more. I know everything feels impossible, but we are getting through it. That’s why I’m counting the days, to prove that to myself.

Day 65 of PBAB. Just a reminder to local people that this document from Maryland's AG outlines the rights of LGBTQ+ people in this state, and that you can and should ask any potential candidate for ANY elected office if they are committed to upholding the contents:

Day 64 of PBAB. I kept my shit together when I wanted to lose it, and met all of my obligations so my mental state didn’t impact other people. #celebrateeveryvictory

Days 62 and 63 of PBAB. I got the stuff to grow vegetables from seed, my own little victory garden…which will have to be on my deck because deer cannot yet climb the spiral staircase. The more we can fend for ourselves, the safer we are.

Day 61 of PBAB. Scouts. Blue and Gold. One of the many loathesome aspects of Project 2025 is the idea of co-opting Scouts and making it a Trump Youth org, because these assholes never had an original idea in their lives. The good news: this plan is doomed to fail. The kids are too smart for that.

Day 60 of PBAB. I went around complimenting people all day today. I know at the end of the day we all dress for ourselves and not for others, but I'm gonna go ahead and say that based on the reactions, people who did a little extra don't mind their efforts being appreciated.

Day 59 of PBAB. Volunteered as an interviewer at the high school for kids practicing for job. After awhile the counselors started sending me the neurodiverse kids, the special needs kids, the non binary and gender diverse kids…and honestly it was the finest compliment I’ve ever had.

Day 58 of PBAB. I donated a bunch of hardbacks in great condition to a book drop full of encyclopedias and cookbooks so there would be something worth having in there.

Day 56 of PBAB. I purged a bunch of unused craft supplies and put them into the hands of people I know are struggling with gestures broadly - neighbors supporting each other is the beginning of better things.

Day 55 of PBAB. Took my weekly media break, mostly. I just celebrated one year of my “antisocial” app, Minutia. It’s a collaborative art project grounding the participants in their actual lives. Do a search for it and see if it might be your thing…maybe we’ll be randomly matched someday!

Day 54 of PBAB. Have cleaned my house and picked up dog shit that wasn’t mine and played subversive music for my children. That’s all I got.

Day 53 of PBAB: I wrote to both of my Senators: "Schumer is a quisling and a collaborator. There's no fixing any of this without first getting Rs out of power. They own all three branches of the government right now, and the responsibility is theirs. I can tell you my future vote rests on this."

Day 52 of PBAB: I had to be on Facebook for work, but when I was done I just started playing Randy Rainbow clips. I want my algorithms to be queer as possible. 🌈🌈🌈 There is no art or music worth having without my LGBTQ+ friends.

Day 51 of PBAB. Led the scouts on a hike and asked them to pick up trash…and they left nothing man made. They picked up _gum_.They picked up dog crap that assholes left behind. We have to save the world for these kids to take over, you know? They’re nine, FFS, and they’re better than all of us.

Days 47 and 48: I did a service project with my scouts yesterday, emphasizing that the small things make a difference. Today I’m staying off the news sites and I’m planning portable meals so we can eat on the go without fast food. I feel gross enough without eating like a raccoon out of a dumpster.

Day 46 of PBAB: I did not have what it takes to fight today. I did mange to post the #IWD2025 graphic for my job, associating women’s rights with free stuff in a video game for a generation of young men; does that count? I hope it counts cuz that’s all I’ve got today.

Day 45 of PBAB: The kids are all right. I challenged my Scouts to “pass a bill” that said scouts should have a moderate snack. They worked out snack size, composition, trade rules, exceptions for medical conditions (braces and allergies), and what to do if someone got too much. Without my advice!

Day 44 of PBAB. Time for another scout den meeting where we will learn about the history of the ADA while discussing how a bill becomes a law. They will pass a bill on how much/which treats should be in their snack - and whether preferences and medical needs should be considered. Wish me luck ;)

Day 40 of PBAB: Got my black belt. The dojang where I study is a small immigrant-owned business, not a chain, and I’m not sure I’d have gotten this far without them…or my amazing classmates, or my teenager who’s been doing it with me :D 🥋

Day 39 of PBAB: I spent time helping people look for jobs. Part of the reason for mass firings is to put us in a mental space where we can't spare the energy to fight. If you are hiring writers or artists for anything, even just short gigs, let me know so I can connect you to the best people around.

Day 38 of PBAB: I donated to the Trevor Project today. I can’t afford another recurring donation but if you have a little extra, give.thetrevorproject.org/campaign/666... has a “matching” benefit right now so even your smallest gift can be multiplied. #supporttranskids #transrightsarehumanrights

Day 37 of PBAB: I practiced my viola, and I petted the little cat who winds herself around my ankles when I yell which stops me yelling, and dressed my Finch in an outfit to match my daughter’s, and walked in the forest. Tonight I’ll plan a scout meeting. Tomorrow I’ll pick the fight back up.
