If you’ve never been to Black Rock Coffee Bar, idk what to tell you other than you need to go. 1000000/10. Easily the best coffee we’ve had while living on the West Coast

The universe sends you signals, but you have to be awake enough to see them.

My dog is an asshole. Whenever he farts, he gets up and runs out of the room. Jerk.

Undoing almost 4 decades of bullshit around weight, eating, & food is really hard. My brain & body were doing their best in an environment that didn’t support them, & now I finally have the right tools & environment to help me rewire all of that so I can finally live instead of feeling trapped

A little laugh for my PNW people 🤣

The mission has been to “find” waste, fraud, & abuse, signaling the use of arbitrary parameters of what they view waste, fraud, & abuse to be, not actual evidence or facts. If you haven’t figured it out yet, WE ARE THE WASTE, FRAUD, & ABUSE. So, I guess they found it

We’re partnering w/ a number of groups participating in an #economicblackout THIS Friday, 2/28. Do not spend, if possible. No Starbucks on your way to work. No drinks w/ the coworkers after work. No dining out. No Walmart run. No quick McDonald’s drive-thru hit. Hurt their wallets!

Homeownership is a joooooooke

I am getting tired of calling my Senators and watching Congress move at a snails pace while Musk speed runs this game, breaking every rule along the way. By the time Congress acts, Musk will have won and rewritten the entire code so they can no longer play.

Just watch this:

This is a Five Alarm Fire folks 🚨 🚨 🚨 🚨 🚨

Let's get this circulated!! 😤

The grief is hitting HARD this morning

Tahoma (Mt. Rainier), Mt. Saint Helens, Mt. Adams, Mt. Baker, and Glacier Peak. Which one do you have erupting first on your 2025 bingo card? I live here and I think it’s going to be Saint Helens. No better way to get people’s attention.

The loudest quiet

“Attorneys in the department’s Civil Rights Division were ordered not to file any new complaints, amicus briefs or other certain court papers “until further notice,” one of the memos said.” Yeah, this isn’t alarming at all 🚨 🚨 🚨

I went on a deep dive into “Cultural Christianity”, where people claim to be Christian because they see it as socially or culturally advantageous. Instead of using it as framework for growth and development, they use it as leverage and ultimately weaponize it. Flabbers are gasted this morning.

Uh…maybe I’m losing my mind, but how did people “natzee” that coming?

Trump outs Elon Musk for rigging the US election. Note, Elon does not have a pardon.

WTF IS THIS?!

Did Trump just say they RIGGED the election???????? Video from @ayedaynamarie of his speech tonight at the Rally @maddow.msnbc.com

The Inside Out movies are for adults as much as they are for kids.

I’m going to sign up for a month of Disney+ just to stream the Eras Tour at the same time as the inauguration. Money well spent since there’s nothing worse than losing views to a woman.

What we lived through in Kyiv in the early hours of the morning today. Sound on.

It was never just another app. It was Community. It was Knowledge and News. It was Nostalgia. It was Entertainment. It was Different. It was Connection. And yet we know that #booklovers will always find each other ❤️‍🩹🫶🏻 #booksky #tiktokban
