And we’re off! #Inktober

an extraordinary person with an extraordinary legacy who nevertheless didn’t take herself too seriously when Gary Larson published this cartoon, she was in Africa and her institute was horribly offended and drafted a complaint the whole thing was defused when she returned - she found it funny

In other news, tourism numbers take a dive again. Seems the United Stares is determined to make itself a pariah state. Well done.

Was prescribed gaba for hot flashes. Didn't do shit. Took forever to convince my then physician for a low dose estrogen patch which stopped the hot flashes & my murderous rage almost immediately.

My son came home with a BlueJays Fund Jar that he made in tech class. He said everytime I drop an F bomb about an ump I have to put money it. We're going to soooooo many games next year. Lol

I've always struggled w/ financial stuff. Paying the minimum or getting behind on payments & a divorce that destroyed my rating. Since being diagnosed w/ADHD, the therapy & meds have made a huge difference. I know it's only a number but I busted my ass to get it. WOO HOO! Debt free.

Talking about firemen falling off latter's & going splat. Yeah, his brain is fucking pudding.

She's such a fucking weirdo.

Hoo boy. This is just all around bizarre.

oh yeah just settle into watching this on a loop

I worked for years in assisted living & if a client was talking like Trump is at this presser, I would walk them back to their room & have them checked for a urinary tract infection.

I find it interesting that law enforcement is not quick to set a narrative for the mormon church shooting. Why aren't they rushing to release evidence or motive? Weird. Wonder why. Hmmm.

I'm just so happy right now. Go Jays!

Aaarrrrggghhh!!!!

I love you Kirk!

Cleaning while I watch the BlueJays game because it distracts me from my anxiety.

Don't leave for Mexico for 8 days but I'm already packed. Frustrated to find the personal item bag I bought last year is too big. I have a ridiculous amount of backpacks now. One of them has to work. Our return flight is a different airline & they have a different size requirement. Ugh.

You know what helps in these depressing times? A really good joint & some well written books on what is & how to take personal action to fight fascism. May I recommend Woody Nelson's Rainbow Driver strain. Lovely. Off to read How Fascism Works by Jason Stanley.

*chortle* Stay til the end.

Please, if you have the privilege of not being an obvious and immediate target for state violence... Call them fascists, loudly, ESPECIALLY right now. Call yourself an antifascist, loudly, ESPECIALLY right now. We all need to be Spartacus on this one.

Some dickhead in our row at the BlueJays game was yelling lets go Brandon. Like WTF? He was shamed by everyone near him.

War ravaged Portland

Driving to Toronto for a BlueJays game & taking the opportunity to make everyone listen to Timothy Snyder's On Tyranny.

Hoffman. Oof.

Cuomo could never.

Hoffman. Oof.

cool. finally got in to see the endodontist. didn't even look in my mouth. $600. had an xray & was literally there 15 minutes. Told me they couldn't see anything on the xray and said they would need to go in with special microscopes, quoted me $4K. nope, just pull the fucker.

Why is it ok to throw a guy out for pointing? I'm being serious. Is it etiquette? I've seen players do much worse & coast. It seems thin skinned for an ump to get all pissy about it.

Let it flow. Its cathartic.

Either the school board's bus app is useless or it took 45 minutes for the bus to travel 400 meters.

Sorry. I don't understand Scherzer.

Of all the injuries this regime has already inflicted upon me, this is by far the worst

*googles mental exhaustion symptoms* Yep.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

This is easily one of the biggest long-term tragedies of the Trump administration. The politicization of federal agencies and the steady erosion of institutional trust won't all just magically be fixed with the next election cycle.

it would be nice to be able to trust a god damn thing the FBI says about anything right now, just saying

No one who's against ICE would write anti-ice. FUCK ICE, yes but this is getting more sus. Anti-Ice sounds like some button shirted conservative bureaucrat. And why are they talking about the ICE patrol like they were the victims. It was detainees who were shot. The news isn't covering the reality.

The only info they provide at the presser on the ICE detainee shootings is a message on bullet casings? Why release that & only that?Sounds sus. I feel like I'm going crazy but this feels like accelerationism.

Day 3 of "Neighbourhood Watch" drama. Not much happening today since the legitimate Neighbourhood Watch group have called them out & the local police have been informed by the legitimate group that the chucklefucks were planning on roaming the neighbourhood, armed with bear mace.

Waiting for the regime to claim epidurals cause autism because they love to see women suffer. I feel there is some hard right religious extremism involved in all this.

I do really appreciate that every Chotiner interview is a sporting event for the Very Online moderates, libs, communists - we can all come together to point and laugh and go “well at least I’m not that poor fucker”

Man, Chotiner. What can I say? Nothing. I say nothing. If I was ever asked anything by Chotiner I would go into hiding.

Not sure how many Americans are familiar with This Hour Has 22 Minutes but this skit is feels pretty universal right now. 😭😅

Ok.🙄

new Big Apple Archbishop Daniel Flores here. seems like a significant upgrade:

BBC fact checking Trump, stating & I'm paraphrasing, Trump lies.

What's weird about his schtick is that he's constantly saying insane, provocative, explosive things, but the net effect quickly becomes white noise. He's so extreme that he just gets boring. It's kind of wild, it's like he violates some basic law of emotional physics.

wait the rapture took only my clothes
