Republican math: Can afford: bombing and “running”Venezuela Can’t afford: universal healthcare, food stamps, and childcare.

“…Above all beware of honoring women artists, For the housewife will fill the house with lions…” - Ursula K. Le Guin.

Whew. Roll out that 25th.

Since people find being hopeful and optimistic so cringe these days, let me remind you once again that there isn’t a single liberation movement in the world that wasn’t built on hope and optimism.

Questioning is her job, you Understand. “Is there any Incriminating evidence in the Epstein files about you?” Triggered, he snaps: “Quiet Piggy.” Shakes his finger In her direction. Graceless. Guilty. Garish. Looking like a Goner in a grim drain spiral. Your days are numbered, sir. #quietpiggy

Priorities.

The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670 Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy? You’re doing their dirty work.

Dear Democratic Members of Congress: I am urging each of you to adopt a food pantry this week. Make it clear that Trump and the GOP are withholding $5 billion in a contingency fund that could fund SNAP benefits and feed Americans, so you're adopting a food pantry in your district.

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

#NoKings meets #Caturday Let’s show up, show kindness, and show our love for the dream of what our country can be. #WeThePeople

NOT-SO-FUN FACT: Instead of supporting domestic farmers, Trump is now DOUBLING the taxpayer-funded bailout for Argentina, bringing the total to a whopping $40 billion. That’s nearly TWICE the cost of extending the ACA tax credits for an entire year!

I walked and thought that I should show you this moment in Kyiv. And maybe you’ll pass it on to those who still think Ukraine is only a battlefield.

Greetings this fine #Caturday from @jeoffreythecat.bsky.social and his emotional support rug.

It’s a good day to: ✅ make something ✅ hug a loved one ✅ snuggle a pet ✅ get out in nature ✅ move your body ✅ create a nourishing meal ✅ love harder ✅ find a reason for gratitude ✅ be with others ✅ remember that joy & community are forms of resistance, too. 🕊️

To know love is to know grief.

First time having a #microfiction piece published. Kind of exciting! #writesky #newwriter 101words.org

4 yrs ago today, I witnessed a volcanic eruption for the first time, close enough to feel the intense warmth of the Earth's creation on my skin. It literally changed my life. I may spend the rest of my life seeking an experience as powerful as this and never find it, and that's okay.

BELONGING. #acrostic #poetry #poem #writesky #poetrysky #poemsky #newbie

THE PENTAGON BUDGET JUST HIT A TRILLION DOLLARS. Not a single pundit from either political party said “how are we going to pay for it?!” Don’t dare tell us we cannot ALL have healthcare, housing, and education.

okay apparently we're all having Cubist Boob Weather for the forseeable future
