Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs. (“Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LOTR)

I've gone down the rabbit hole on You Tube dance videos, but then again we're living in hard times.

Dystopia is the AARP advising older Americans about how to live in a police state www.aarp.org/travel/trave...

Mass protests planned all over the country this Saturday. At least 500 events, organizers are hoping that millions will again turn out. You can find events near you via @indivisible.org @50501movement.bsky.social @teslatakedown.com

Sorry, but to be fair... you should know that @nwbrinson.bsky.social does makes good leftovers. 😀

As aunt to child w/autism + other conditions, an ability to do certain things is not my litmus test for support. I hate to think there is a fuzzy line along the spectrum, as well as the current need for anyone to rally + assert they have value, potential, and intelligence. 😞

How's it going? Oh, you know... just another day of riding the existential roller coaster... seeking equanimity via meditation + acceptance vs. "Well, I can't win the lottery if I *don't* play." 🤪

If you need some good news, earlier this evening the St. Louis Fire Department successfully rescued a dog that had fallen 100ft into one of the silos at Cementland

New hobby: watching swim videos because I want to go to pool but hair can't take pool everyday + no one mentions tariffs. 🤪

This is the May Day action that I mentioned earlier is being planned by a number of unions: maydaystrong.org

Quite literally whitewashing the purpose of the Underground Railroad www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

Hands Off protests appear large and widespread. Won't solve everything tomorrow, of course. But it shows people who object that they're far from alone, and shows more hesitant people that by speaking up they won't be sticking their necks out, they'll be joining a popular movement.

He has far more material to work with than Thurmond + wait, no bathroom?

There’s a strain of person who would much rather believe that Americans aren’t doing anything to fight back than that they ARE fighting back and it hasn’t fixed things. And look, I get it. It’s the same drive that says if you don’t bounce back from an illness, you must have done something wrong.

Keep your kids (furry + otherwise) close on walks! Near miss of getting running over by an Amazon truck in broad daylight on a residential street.

TGIF! Today I learned some hard lessons about tenure, indigenous sovereignty, dental bills, and falling off the wagon of staying off social media... catch you in a few, maybe.
