Canada, I will always love you. You married me and my husband back in 2007 when US state after state ignored or forbade us. Stay strong and prosper -- you're the sole adult in the room now.

WHERE ARE THE UNDERGROUND HACKER ELITES GOING AFTER DOGE? SAVE US!

To use language we know he understands: Donald, you have ruined America's brand.

I've always thought of dystopian films as actual documentaries of our impending future. Musk standing to receive gazillions of dollars from Trump's crazy-ass iron-dome fever dream is a plot line I *swear* I've seen before.

So much for "I'll be a dictator just on day one."

I don't get the whole Punxatawney Phil forecast. He has only predicted what will happen in six weeks when the vernal equinox marks the end of winter anyway. Duh.

As a high school Social Studies teacher in New York State, I have always maintained that the reason a Donald Trump could get elected in this country is the generational, ongoing failure of the way Social Studies, in particular history, is taught. Few states even require Global Studies to graduate.

My new post-election yard sign

The older I get, the less interesting life is for me. Just took a short nap at 3 and now it's time for bed. See you tomorrow if I'm still here, otherwise in the samsara mud-mix. Ciao, bitches.

I'm finding I never get any responses to my posts. Is this just going out into the ether? Should I content myself with just sounding off? Or--gulp--am I just *unloveable*? Anyway, going back to my mousehole....

Is there a running list in bsky for nicknames for Trump? Not the lameass ones he comes up with, but the ones we come up with for him.

Still waiting for Trumpelstiltzchen to rip himself in two lengthwise when somebody calls out his real name. Hopefully in an airport hangar. In front of a crowd "bigger than MLK's." That would be the best Fractured Fairytale ever.

Oh, child, THAT Mar-a-lago news conference! Dementia J Trump's swansong.... He's getting increasingly red in the face as he takes questions.

Fed up with all the Trump signs in my dinky little Catskills village. Just put up the new banner on the side of our house:

I love my husband who just turned to me and said, "Pretense is the best offense."

NBC News reports: “Elite Democrats,” Vance said, “got in a smoke-filled room and decided to throw Joe Biden overboard." "Smoke-filled room" hahahaha

Laffin' Kamala? Really, DJT? Let me try a couple of epithets of my own: Dementia J. Trump Doofus Jay Dump Doorknob Jiggly Frump DJ Tummy-up Diddy J. Thump Okay, admittedly not great. Would love To see what the BlueSky-writers come up with.

I don't understand why Biden thinks it's his choice to be the Dem candidate for prez. The party membership makes that decision, not the leadership. Do we really want the Dem party to be the "party of Biden" the way the Repubs made theirs the "party of Trump." Let the convention decide fgs.

DNC convention proposal: Day 1: Biden tribute, then he capitulates to the will of the convention Day 2: the new candidates (Corey, Gretchen, Kamala, et al.) all tout their ability to inspire us Day 3: the vote: it will be messy but so is real democracy Day 4: kumbayah moment You're welcome.

It's the human condition to make other groups of people feel like shit. It always has been that way and will likely remain so. My tribe against yours, and we're fighting over what? Get me the fuck out of samsara....

Seizure day! Seizure day! SEIZURE DAY! What do YOU want seized on seizure day?

Oh, Lordy. De Santis just compared elementary school teachers to Hamas. What's wrong with that man?

Why won't Trump join the Republican debates? Is he afraid he'll be challenged on his douchiness? Jesus, if he can dish it out, why can't he take it?
