I fear some of you are still not quite understanding that the purpose of DOGE is not actually to make the federal government more efficient, it's to privatize what they can make money off of and then dismantle the rest.

I feel like I should be embarrassed by the events in the White House today, but honestly I’m mostly heartbroken for the people of Ukraine.

Could not agree more. The Prez & VP are shameful, embarrassing Putin puppets & a disgrace to our country. 🤮 #SlavaUkraine 🇺🇦

Hulu is the worst streaming service for binge watching. Welcome to my Ted talk.

Hi, just a reminder that when you use Libro.fm for your audiobooks, you support independent bookshops vs. large corporations that drive them out of business. We also pay taxes. And so do indie bookshops.

My captain, my king

Whoever bagged my 13 bagels at Panera in Augusta Maine this morning did it exactly right and I’ve never seen that before. Sweet bagels with sweet. Savory with savory. Asiagos by themselves because we can’t taint their perfection with other bagel flavors. Chefs kiss.

You can be against trans kids playing sports and still recognize that using children and opening them up to abuse and ridicule to make your political arguments is bullying behavior that adult political leaders should not be engaging in.

Every time someone claims that they’re concerned about trans athletes “because boys have a natural advantage in sports” my brain screams BILLIE JEAN KING.

Amen to that.

I’ve come to learn many people don’t know this!

I listen to a lot of celebrity memoir audiobooks. The ones from actors who worked with the Sherman-Palladinos are the only ones I don't have to play at 1.5X speed lol

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

“Red, White and Blueland” is what you’d get if sometime around July 3rd you happened to ask a 4 year old to name their own imaginary country.

There's certainly a lot to do right now, but if you need rest and potato time, make sure to rest and be a potato. Make sure to eat, hydrate, and also make time for joy and offline activities. Do not burn yourself out faster than the world is already pushing you.

I’ve been around politics enough to know that every good politician has steady relationships. They have advisors, assistants, campaign managers that they go back to every election, and that work for them in some capacity while they are in office. Trump doesn’t.

“I think the strategy here is: ‘Well, we’re just going to do it and dare somebody to stop us, and by the time they stop us, we’ll have destroyed it.’” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I cannot emphasize enough that if they dismantle federal hazard agencies, warning systems, and emergency management disaster death tolls will increase. We can very easily lose the ground we have spent decades gaining.

A story in three parts: I had a very nice outfit on for work today. I ate breakfast. I have a different, very nice outfit on for work today.

Today I met this amazing older lady who is a hospital chaplain. She was on her way to a work potluck and she was bringing cans of Liquid Death Carbonated Water with her. She thought this was so hilarious she had to stop a stranger (me) just to share her plans. 😆

We’re punishing Canada and Mexico because our border patrols and our DEA can’t keep drugs from crossing our border?

Can someone explain to me what tariffs are supposed to do for immigration? Why is he starting a trade war exactly? And to what end?
