Once again doped out of his mind, watching his reflection.

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

Bread squisher! 😡

Hello from the couch, where I've been sleeping the last week because even with pills Gus won't sleep if he can't see me.

🙃 USPS will deliver anywhere, anyhow, except for my street (or the entire town of Sinclair, WY, where I lived a year and had no home delivery). The post office I have a box at is only open 8:30-4:30 (closed an hour for lunch) M-F, so I have from 8-12 on Saturdays to pick up. Give me my mule route!

I will vote for the first candidate who tells me they're going to make the biggest government possible. Reacher-sized agencies. Braun Strowman-level social benefits. Government so big it starts belching out National Parks and free healthcare. Chungus State.

Fictional villains: my motivation involves a complex backstory around lost love and a deep yearning to be understood Real life villains: being cruel makes me feel like a big strong man

Calling my senator to complain about the ringback music I'm forced to sit through when I call my senator...

Home already, can't drink with the cone on. Real sloppy right now.

Request for Tony's Chocolonely.

And as his plane crashed down, he thought well 'least they fund ICE 🎶

Waiting for the vet.

Ex NFL player @chriswarcraft.bsky.social protesting the inclusion of a MAGA acronym in the Huntington Beach library plaque at last night’s council meeting. He was arrested and cited.

lmao

"[hot singer you liked in college] Brian Molko charged" oh no ew with what?? "with calling Meloni 'fascist'" haha oh yeah ok cool

Did the help chat button disappear for everyone from the IRS's Direct File website over the weekend? (And the phone help gives you a computer lady that doesn't answer questions, tells you useless stuff, and then hangs up.) Effed.

When I gathered the courage to tell my mother that I was her daughter, not her son, she simply said: "I have suspected so, ever since you were born." "Why?" "I was cursed when expecting you. A demon would take my firstborn son." "And?" "It came, looked at you and said 'Nah'." #CrossRepost

Gus hasn't slept past 4 once in the ~3 weeks he's been here, and the last few days it was more like 3, so last night for the first time we tried a whole cocktail of (vet prescribed) pills to let/make him sleep in. No dice. 😩

Beyond the obvious "you need to replace that", what does it mean that my microwave now can heat water to boiling but not melt chocolate chips? (Without a dish of water in it, it now has alarming flashes and hard-to-describe noises as well. Seems safe!)

Who TF are they polling?? www.semafor.com/article/02/1...

bring it here too!

God this is such a good video. I cannot believe we still have to put up with the absolute dumbest people spreading fossil fuel misinformation in media in 2025

I kinda just did this to prove I could, but: NERDS

My grandmother’s family was murdered in the chambers of Auschwitz. She survived and told me never let it get that far. Make them shoot you in public before they murder you in hiding. Stand up for others. Never cave in fear of the Nazis or the holocaust will happen again.

occasionally youtube gets it right youtu.be/ABS-mlep5rY?...

Guess who somehow detached half the top of their crate and wriggled out at 4am?

Got a request for Kinder Surprise.

It's Frakes o'clock, time for the blues. (Riker Mount position accurate twice a day at 4:32) #StarTrek

Contact form for non-constituents of Hakeem Jeffries, in case you want to suggest that leading dems to the center is a garbage plan: democraticleader.house.gov/contact

Heard from multiple neighbors yesterday that our street is supposed to get paved in 2025, opening up the possibility of USPS home delivery, catching us up to the mid-1800s! 💌📬

Some guy I went to high school with is sponsoring anti-trans bills at a state level, and it's weird to know what tone to strike in this email saying "hey I'm your constituent and this sucks"

Oh wow, Captcha, which is the worst thing ever, is even worse than you think.

ICE is Gaming Google Search U.S. Immigration is Gaming Google to Create a Mirage of Mass Deportations 13,000 archived ICE press releases timestamped to 24 January 2025. "Every article was updated on the 24th ... causing the Google SEO to...rank it higher." Brilliant work @darakerr.bsky.social!

This will surprise many Americans: According to a new study, gigantic SUVs are no safer for occupants than merely big SUVs. "For vehicles that weigh more than [~4,000 lbs, the fleet avg], there’s hardly any decrease in risk for occupants associated with additional poundage."

I'm now secretary of the town's Depot Village Advisory Committee. Community involvement woo?

At a meeting today with staffers for Senators Markey and Warren, the staffers made two concrete asks: 1. Please call or email and share your stories about how the current administration’s actions are hurting or will hurt you personally. The Senators can use these human stories to persuade those /1

Had to leave the house for a town meeting, which meant a gap in the crushing news-based dread to feel some road rage. Variety!

Called one of my state reps (NH has SO MANY) and we rambled a while, and I mentioned having lived in other states, working for local gov, and that it had made me more open to taxes than the average for NH, and she remains anti-tax, suggests that "if you have 'extra money', you can donate it". 🙃

NH considering making all high school students learn about abortion through videos including this one, that encourages you to "protect the pre-born." www.liveaction.org/1st-trimeste... Shout out to the Quakers whose detailed Statehouse Watch email has links to shout into the void/at legislators.
