Yay, after 12 hours we have power (and maybe internet) restored. Fallen trees from fierce winds- thank you #Duke crews who worked through the night

Been quiet for a while, just having media overload… Happy holidays to all, whatever you celebrate, or not. Let’s make 2026 a great year

Saw one of my fave musicians for 7th time, and got my #ukulele signed! #JakeShimabukuro is amazing.

Happy late Thanksgiving to all. We just had dinner w some family, including a new cutie grandson. That’s yawning, not screaming.

Palate cleanser- a neighbor popped up to our fence to say ‘hi’. #Asheville #wildlife

Share their shame Bluesky⬇️

Remember those who caved. Primary them!

Yahoo! I feel a blue wave roaring in🌊

Just some #Asheville neighbors going out for dinner. #bears

This is amazing!!

Got my postcards for @postcards2win.bsky.social ready for mailing on Friday!

#Asheville also had a dancing #axolotl

Signs from #Asheville #NoKings

This #NoKings was huge, bigger than last one. Very rough estimate of 12K. Yay, #Asheville. If you know the city, marchers reached from Pack Square to Pritchard Park, and that wasn’t everyone. Lots stayed at the amphitheater or lined the streets.

🍊🐖administration is literally taking food out of mouths. #foodaidcuts

The waves rolling in on a beautiful weekend in the North Carolina coast #wrightsvillebeach

ICE GOONS in military gear are now jumping out of unmarked vans to disappear protesters in Portland, OR

From AVL Today: It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood because Reader’s Digest has named #Asheville as 2025’s Nicest Place in America. Many commended Asheville’s compassion in the face of crisis as Helene wrought devastation in the area.

“It’s yet another way this regime practices eugenics. By refusing disabled people the accommodations they need, they’re targeting them for elimination. People die in ICE custody every year, but we often don’t hear about them. Their stories go untold, their pleas unheard and the eugenics unopposed”

Words from Trump in 2013. The Internet remembers.

If They Can Target One of Us, They Can Target Any of Us: Here’s the Fix open.substack.com/pub/thejackh... Great idea! I believe it’ll come to be and I’ll donate. Spread the word, we’ll need this.

Sinclair has folded, @jimmykimmel back on their stations.

Aargh, possible NC hit by soon to be Hurricane Imelda. #Asheville is twitchy w #Helene anniversary this weekend.

"I steal the words from other the people in eight—no, nine—no, thirty—language. All equal good."

When does Tylenol sue the government?

And hardly a stir in MSM. #foodinsecurity

Priceless Colbert open, using a parody of Beaty and the Beast to broil 🍊🐖 youtu.be/HMGD1KCYFOw

#FCC head said quit part out loud 3 years ago.

Working on Kilmeade’s suggestion, I assume. F&ck MAGA

ABC has no spine. Nexstar wanted to save its deal and caved to FCC. #Extortion BTW nexstar accounts on Bluesky appear recently set up, not the company.

I’ll have nothing to do w ABC until #JimmyKimmel is back. They’re bending to a fascist pig.

Anyone else think #JDVance is trying to bolster MAGA credentials by hosting Kirk’s podcast because he figures 🍊🐖is leaving soon (I’m thinking health).

Release the #EpsteinFiles!! Put it on repeat

I don’t celebrate Kirk’s shooting. Neither of these, nor today’s school shooting, should have happened. It’s the effing #guns. But it’s sickens me that they’re lowering the flags for Kirk, and not for the others

Glad I got mine yesterday. These piles of garbage will kill more people

Inciting civil war is the🍊🐖’s new policy. JFC, attacking an American city! #whitehouse #Chicago #ICE

And a few other medical professionals I can think of

What a coincidence, with the #RFK hearing going on. Heard a #JimmyBuffett song I’d not heard before. Perfect line: “There’s No Dumbass Vaccine.” #vaccine

I couldn’t post the image, it was from a closed group. But it was the following text message exchange Person 1: I hope Joe Biden wears his Ray-Bans to 😡🐖s funeral. Person 2: and brings an ice cream cone.

Labor Day #protest in #Asheville NC. Sigh, is he dead yet?

#JoniErnst - the “we’re all going to die” so who cares if I cut Medicaid Senator- is not seeking re-election in 2026. Yay, one gone but not soon enough

Beautiful #Asheville #Sunset
