Going to see TMBG tonight! Eating snacks in the car and listening to this 35-year-old song that is, unfortunately, more relevant than ever.

Hey, here’s some of what @thedemocraticparty.bsky.social did today 👋🏽

So many men, including many liberals, told women we were overreacting.

This was posted eight years ago. Eight years ago he said he was gonna. HE SAID HE WAS GONNA EIGHT YEARS AGO.

Me: I'm sorry, but I'm not sure why I should be too concerned about a measles outbreak. My family and friends are vaccinated. <cut to RFK's confirmation as Secretary of Health> Me: Oh. Get boosted while you can, everyone.

I have been trying to stay simultaneously informed and sane while keeping a hopeful gait and a loving spirit. I am struggling today, friends. Planning my daughter's D&D themed birthday party ... feeling like we all keep rolling a one. But at least there's still cake ... for now.

-The GOP only accepts the election results when they win. -The GOP only accepts court rulings if in their favor. -The GOP only protects speech they agree with. -The GOP is a cancer to our democratic Republic.

Yeah.

Did you hate the halftime show, or did you just miss the point? Certain people missing the point WAS the point. They hired Pulitzer Prize-winning artist Kendrick Lamar to entertain them with a song and dance and then were confounded and irritated that he gave them a lesson -- with a smile.

Consider that a performance might not "suck" or be "stupid" or "disappointing" or "the worst ever" just because you didn't like it or understand it. It wasn't for you. It's time for those of us in certain demographics to sit down and be humble about the fact that the world isn't centered around us.

We had a fun, emotional, empowering time at the Equality Florida Gala tonight. A lot of money raised, a lot of powerful camaraderie, a lot of love in the air. I feel energized and ready to fight for our rights. First up -- killing the proposed bill to outlaw the pride flag (yes, really). 🏳️‍🌈

More beautiful camellias as they bloom.

Valentine's Day is coming, and some people care about that, probably ... tell me your favorite "love song" that's actually not a love song.

I write articles about workplace safety and loss prevention for a living. I use a ton of US govt websites as references -- CDC, FDA, OSHA, Homeland Security, etc. Yesterday I went to www.ready.gov for research. Today, several pages were down or gone entirely; those remaining had this header.

The ice storm didn't kill all my camellia blooms! Some are brown and will shrivel and die, but others survived the storm and will blossom. A hopeful metaphor, a bit of light in the darkness of insanity.

And his supporters will be convinced he's a master negotiator.

Here's another dessert I ate when I went to EPCOT last weekend ... it's about balance in what you comsume, whether it be food or media.

I guess Marco Rubio gets to white-pass as long as he plays nice (i.e., is a useful tool). They've been broadcasting their racism for a long time ... some of y'all just haven't been listening.

Monty has a lot to say about things. #catsky #bengalcat

Trump just announced that his tariffs will cause “pain” for the American middle class but it’s okay because it will be “worth the price that must be paid.”

Having excellent pattern recognition skills can look like a superpower, but it can feel like a curse -- it spoils plots, ruins punchlines, and can make conversations predictable and tedious as they appear, fully formed in our brain, well in advance of when they land in front of us. 🧵/1

This majestic creature. #Catsky #bengalcat

Take a deep breath and a moment to look at this ridiculous fuzzy cinnamon bun kitty #bengalcat

Thankful for the end of ... how is it still January?!

🤌

It's OK to leave the real world for a minute and instead go to EPCOT and eat a cookie that looks like a beautiful Moroccan tile. "Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes ... including you." -- Anne Lamott

Researchers at the London School of Economics have found that 50 years of tax cuts for the wealthy have not trickled down to the middle class and only served to help the rich get richer. What does Trump have planned for his second term? Another giant tax cut for the wealthy.

The 20-something waitress at the steakhouse wished me a happy birthday and said, "50? You don't look a day over 25." "Oh, staaahp it," I said with a playfully dismissive wave of a hand. No, seriously. Stop it. Please stop "complimenting" people in this way. It's condescending and obviously untrue.

Feeling this today ... man, that midweek gig wiped me out!

www.reddit.com/r/LeopardsAt... They told you this before the election. They TOLD YOU denaturalization was the plan. They don't hate illegals. They hate non-whites.

We shouldn't have to hope the ethics report gets released, then hope the Senate reads it, then hope they take it into account during the confirmation process. We shouldn't have to hope they will stop a sex trafficker from becoming the chief law enforcement officer of the nation. But here we are.

It’s not a Russian spy ring. It’s a Justice Department graphic showing Venmo payments to girls by Gaetz and Greenberg.

Every day around noon my brain pulls a song containing the word "love" from the depths of my memory and replaces it with the word "lunch." Today it's DeBarge: "Alllll thiiiis luuuunch is waiting for youuuu, my dairy, my sugar ..." (today's lunch is yogurt and coffee with cream)

Introduce yourself with: One book: A Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood One movie: Harold and Maude One album: Ladies of the Canyon by Joni Mitchell One TV show: Sesame Street

My least favorite type of people are the ones you can't criticize, who need all the attention on themselves but completely melt down if you call them out on their nonsense, so you have to treat them like precious fragile porcelain, and you end up comforting them for mistreating you.

Well I wasn't, but I am now. #goodbyebot

If we fight We might lose If we lose We went down fighting If we don't fight We've already lost

A mass shooting is catagorized as such when 4+ fellow humans are injured/killed in one event. More information and articles related to these incidents are included in the link below: www.gunviolencearchive.org/reports/mass...

Sometimes you need to engage ... sometimes you need to unplug. This weekend watching moonrises and sunrises over the ocean has been rejuvenating. Back to fighting evil tomorrow.

My local paper, the Tallahassee Democrat, ran an article about me and my band Clever Girl!

Many commentators say that vigilante groups are never the answer. But they clearly don't know about the masked Ecuadorian trio named “Acción Ortográfica Quito,” who roam the streets at night with a singular purpose: to correct all the spelling and grammar mistakes they find in graffiti.

When QAnon said they wanted to bring pedophiles to justice, I didn't know this is what they meant.

We're going to take over this place the same way we took over Threads: with cats. First, reply with #Nocatunder1k and a picture of your cat, and most importantly, hit the REPOST button. Then follow each other (and me) back. The easiest way to do so is to follow everyone who reposts. Here's Fishy:

New glasses, new me! Oh the things I can see!

I'm a professional performer, you know. I wish I had fewer opportunities to hone this craft.

Today I really wish Hell was a real place where truly evil people go to be punished for all of eternity. But I will settle for a xanax.

Working hard to remember that my optimism and hope for the future was not a flaw.
