Reagan (1980): Are you better off today than you were four years ago? Me (today): Are you better off today than you were four weeks ago?

Nothing feels safe anymore. He’s going after the post office, going after the National Parks, going after the NIH, going after education, going after services that help people, and so many other things I can’t list them all. Everyone’s either afraid of him or enabling him.

Yes

The US anthem got booed at the US/Canada 4 Nations hockey game yesterday, despite the crowd being told not to. Well deserved. I hope our international friends know that there are lots of us who aren't happy about this and didn't want this.

Spent 6.87 on a dozen eggs today. Weren’t prices supposed to go down? Pro tip to my single friends: go grocery shopping on Valentine’s Day at dinner time. There are no lines.

Happy Valentine’s Day 🩷🧡💛💚💜🤍

Happy Super Bowl day. I’m rooting for the Eagles. The Chiefs have too many in recent years and they also have several unlikable players (Butker, Mahomes and his family)

Just got home from volunteering with a resistance fair, where local progressive organizations set up tables in so they could talk to citizens about what they do and encourage them to get involved. We expected people from our area to show up, but people came from all over northern Ohio.

Freedom is like candy… once it’s gone… you are not getting it back…

In 2016 the NYT ran multiple front page stories page about the grave national security risk of Hillary Clinton's server. Today's front page, and nary a mention of the successful "plutocratic coup" (said by a sitting House member) or "constitutional crisis (said by a sitting Senator) unfolding

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

The Senators fans booing the US anthem is amazing

Spent 100 on groceries today. Weren’t grocery prices supposed to go down?

Shit is so unrelentingly dark. We have to stick together to get through this. We have to. 😞

Happy February. 1 month down, 47 to go.

Mr. President: Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, I have a better idea.   In Denmark, everyone is guaranteed health care, college education is free, parents receive 1-year of paid paternity leave & workers don’t make less than $22 an hour.  Let's steal those ideas.

Happy year of the snake 🐍

This is why I don’t want my teams to win titles until he’s gone

I’m so sick of the Chiefs

The Guardians had their season preview dinner tonight. I definitely missed fanfest this year but it was fun to chat with other fans, hear about last season and expectations for this season from the manager and players, and eat some delicious food.

Come on Bills

No brain bleed!

Concussion update: Saw a doctor today. Got a CT scan to check for brain bleed, though we think it’s unlikely. I’ll post when I get the results. Feeling a lot better than shortly after the fall, though I still have small headaches and sensitivity to light. Thanks to everyone who’s reached out!

Kinda funny that MAGA wants us to “get over” January 6th and “look forward not back”, when they still haven’t gotten over the Civil fucking War.

Concussion update: slept well last night. My work is closed this morning because of subzero weather. Yesterday, the light from my computer at work was giving me a headache and making my eyes sting. We’ll see what happens today.

Personal post: in Jan 2017 I was fired up and ready to fight. In Jan 2024, I feel like I can't take my eye off the ball for making basic ends meet for my family. Does anyone else feel like that this time around?

The gospel according to Saint Mariann

Concussions: 0/10. Do not recommend.

I’m disappointed OSU won because the winner has to go to the White House. Thank you Trump for making me not want my favorite teams to win championships for the next four years.

I’m so sick of the Chiefs and I don’t even watch football
