Why won’t he just die?

My son sent this to me for confirmation. They misspelled “harvested unsuspecting individuals’ intellectual discussions for profit.” #tvtropes #buffistas

Slightly diminish a band. Food Fighters

There’s hope in’t yet.

My cat crawled on me this morning. I gently moved her so I could get up and shower. She was still sleeping in my spot when I left at 9:30 am. I got home at 7:30 pm. House was dark, no Kit Kat. Went up to change and she was still in the same spot! 10 hours? Is it possible? #catsogbluesky #cats

3 good things today: 1. My day job in a library 2. Working to form a local nonprofit to support LGBTQ+ people 3. Being the on-call volunteer for a nonprofit that provides financial assistance for abortions. #3goodthings Hat tip to @leemeugebauer.bsky.social

In November I went to a concert in Minneapolis at Target Center. There were other events downtown—traffic was heavy. It was freezing. The parking garages were packed. But Somalians were working in the cold. Giving directions, taking payment. IN FREEZING CONDITIONS. Fuck ICE #Minneapolis

No justice, no peace. Shut down the government. Impeach Noem. Impeach Hesgeth. Impeach Trump. Nothing else matters until that is done.

I hate it here.

The January 6 coup was successful. Not immediately. But eventually. 5 years later, its leader sits in the White House and his evil minions are destroying the federal government from the inside. #january6

I am so proud of myself. I didn’t immediately crawl into bed when I got home from work. I did a few Important Tasks. Then I fought against the cold and darkness to start a real dinner. I feel like progress has been made. #mentalhealth #survivingwinter

I’ll admit I don’t know a lot about foreign policy, but shouldn’t other countries start banding together to put economic sanctions, or start throwing up trade barriers? How about declaring the US a hostile nation?

I’m going to be snacking and watching a National Geographic series on bog bodies. #bogwitch

Since the laws no longer have meaning, I am wearing my wool leggings inside out and eating Cheetos and Diet Coke for breakfast. What are you gonna do about it? #chaos #norules

Every headline.

The American Republic is dead. Every sovereign nation in the Western hemisphere better start making defensive plans, immediately. Nations need to enact trade sanctions, and start making treaties amongst themselves for mutual defense to fend off American aggression.

Palate cleanser. My son filmed a fox in our backyard last night. Probably only possible due to the brightness of the moon. #wisconsin #winter #backyardwildlife

These photos have zero exterior lighting. Midnight, January 4th. #fullmoon #wisconsin #winter

Is it 1990? No blood for oil, motherfuckers. #Imperialism #warcrimes #Venezuela

Good morning, I guess.

Jesus Motherfucking Christ. Can we just fucking not? The fuck?

Trump DOJ’s Prosecution of a Wisconsin Judge Is a Travesty washingtonmonthly.co... #wipolitics

These things are AMAZING! #mutualaid #libraries

There’s really only one thing I want out of 2026. *stares meaningfully* #2026

Survived 2025. Bring it, 2026.

Anyone else find it hilarious that all of a sudden, the GOP is calling health insurance companies the bad guys? And drug companies? It’s almost as if those giant campaign contributions never happened. *stares in Captain Renault*

Visiting Santa Monica with a director/cinematographer and got a private tour of the airport. My kids got to sit in David Ellison’s helicopter. We ran into David Mamet—when we said we from Wisconsin, he asked us about muskie fishing.

Buffy fans will see it. #TheGentlemen #BuffytheVampireSlayer

I need to recommend The Dead of Winter: Beware the Krampus and Other Wicked Christmas Creatures by Sarah Clegg. It’s delightfully a weird and creepy Christmas book. #booksky #Christmasbooks #nonfiction #witches

ICE are not legitimate federal agents. They are not law enforcement. They have no authority to commit crimes, violate rights, assault and kidnap Americans. Zero. They're criminals with badges and guns.

Academics and technologists are sounding the alarm about a growing crisis in scholarship as we know it: AI-generated citations of nonexistent papers that have infested real journals. Despite being fake, the sources are widely assumed to be authentic the more they appear in published literature.

Bank of America first started offering credit cards to women in 1974

On 12/10 I ordered a pair of winter boots from Zappos (I realize Bezos bought them.) They have been 30 miles away from my house since Monday. The weather has not been that harsh, except for tonight. It took 3 days to get to Wisconsin. How is it taking 5 days to go 30 miles?

My Insta feed is suddenly all Heated Rivalry.

I don’t think I can be relieved by the obvious incompetency of the administration to fully secure autocratic rule and the increasing erratic and incoherent shouting of a seriously ill psychopath. How do we keep functioning? #survive2025

Save it for the Festivus Pole, Old Man.

A Lord of the Rings cover band called Elevensies.

Happy 250th birthday, Jane Austen. Celebrate by reading these great biography graphic novels! #booksky #graphicnovels #janeausten

Kit Kat subtly demands pets.

As you wish. #PrincessBride

I cannot wait until he dies.

It’s getting really difficult to find any light at all in this darkness. #survive2025

What a fucking awful year it has been. Jesus. #survive2025

Terrorism.

A good guy without a gun but with strength and bravery. The guns are the problem. We need a world with more men like him and fewer guns.

Good day to not leave the fucking house.

Healthcare not wealthcare.

What is the legal reasoning for the United States to seize the assets of a sovereign nation in international waters? JFC #piracy
