The more I look up flights, the more unhinged my ideas for trips become. 🙃

Last month I was really in slump, so I brainstormed this kinda random list of places I’d like to travel soon. Putting this out into the world to manifest more trips this year 😅 1/2

Of the Chiefs of Staff, vice chiefs of staff, and judge advocates general of the three branches, Trump fired all the women and Black people.

I watched 5 Centimeters Per Second and never in my life have I wanted to be on a train in Tokyo so much as the moment I finished that movie

Yes, there have been a couple of scary plane crashes recently. No, there isnt a negative trend in airline safety. Please do not spread misinformation about flying amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/02/...

Let’s stop with the fear mongering about flying, please. I get that seeing pictures of a plane crash is scary, but that doesn’t mean it’s suddenly less safe to fly. Taking a commercial flight is the safest it’s ever been. Listen to people actually in the industry

Hope y’all are hanging in ok this Sat. Sending love out there to those who aren’t. <3

Just finished my blog about Inverness. Totally underrated city! From traditional music to whisky to biking along the River Ness. It’s a perfect place to start if you’re visiting the Scottish Highlands. Read it here #travel #scotland temporaryadventurer.com/best-things-...

This is corruption on a scale unseen before in American history. www.dropsitenews.com/p/elon-musk-...

A public State Department procurement document for fiscal year 2025 listed the purchase for $400 million. It comes as ethics experts raise conflict of interest questions about Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who is a top White House official.

i am going to put a finer point on this: executive orders are not laws. and they certainly are not royal decrees. they are interpretations of existing law for the purposes of enforcement. the fact that so many people are treating them as laws is actually driving me a bit insane.

Montepulciano is an amazing hill town in Tuscany where you can experience the best food, wine, and scenery that this corner of Italy is famous for. If you want all the details, head over to my blog! #italy #travel

An American flag built on the backs of Black people... Black music protesting white political terror in registers they never hear; reminiscent of ancestral spirituals embedded with instructions for runaways All this in New Orleans... What a moment

I think what impressed me the most about Kendrick Lamar’s halftime show was that he showed artists the blueprint for resistance in America. 1/2

Here's what the decision by America's favorite sports league tells us about "anticipatory obedience."

Am I the only one that has no interest in watching the Super Bowl this year? No hate if you’re cheering on your team, but for me its feeling like this spectacle of American capitalism that I don’t really want to see at the moment.

In preparation for today’s Super Bowl in New Orleans, state police forced over 100 homeless men and women onto buses under threat of arrest, dumping them in an unheated warehouse. Tents destroyed, belongings lost. Press are barred from the warehouse. The price tag for this cruelty? $17.5 million

Montepulciano is a magical hill town in Tuscany! It’s the home of an amazing wine called Vino Nobile de Montepulciano. Trust me, you won’t regret stopping here on your trip to Italy! 🇮🇹 🍷☀️🍝 #italy #travel

New on the blog: Montepulciano! Ok, I realize Tuscany is a total travel cliche, but it’s one of those places that lives up to the hype.💯 I think a lot of people just go to Florence and move on. 👎🏻Stay in a beautiful hill town with amazing wine instead 🍷 temporaryadventurer.com/montepulcian...

As our new president and his favorite broligarch move to dismantle US foreign aid in the name of making America “great again,” consider this:

Today’s small act of resistance was watching Cabaret (1972) at an independent movie theater. Wow that movie holds up and feels relevant right now. 🥲

It’s worth noting that the president of the United States today made more racist comments than we’ve seen any president make publicly in, what, a century? More publicly racist comments than many presidents who were, with history’s eye, virulently racist humans, but ones who at least knew their role.

they are really going to blame black people for every little thing that happens aren’t they

Me: I don’t need more games Also me: but Finspan looks so cool Me: we’re trying not to be over consuming this year Also me: but you can support your local game store Me: when do you have time to play games right now? Also me: buy the fish game

How is it still January?!

I gotta say it’s tough trying to write about traveling when the nightmarish grip of fascism tightens every day in the US.

I was having a bad brain day and getting nothing done, so I guess now I’m binge watching travel shows again.

cruelty. plain and simple. when folks are in need of shelter and support you don't make them change their fucking voter laws before you help. absolutely monstrous.

One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.

yeah you saw what you saw youtube.com/shorts/EGqyq...

The gesture was deliberate and the message clearly received by its intended audience. “The Proud Boys Ohio chapter posted to a clip of the Musk video to its Telegram channel with the text, ‘Hail Trump!’” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

A friendly reminder that you don’t have to tune in 24/7 to stay informed about the world. A lot of politics is just distracting talk with no real actions. Give yourself a break and save your energy for things that matter.

What the fuck are we doing here guys like I am emotionally exhausted

If you don’t care about the TikTok ban, you should. TikTok gave a platform to millions of creators and allowed them to build online communities in ways not possible on other platforms. We supported small businesses, we learned new hobbies 1/2

Maybe reposting old TikToks on Bluesky is the new TikTok.

I’m sad.
