That speech was simply appalling. Glad veterans in Congress are speaking out.

Remember this? hegseth's mom even called him out. She later tried to walk it back, saying he 'wasn't like that anymore' but riiiiiight... www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

We just watched the last episode of "Bon Appétit, Your Majesty" on Netflix. It was silly, sugary, predictable, etc. But it was also sweet, had great friendships, a love story (of course), sword-fighting ninjas, corrupt baddies, a mad scientist (my favorite!), and master chef-style cook-offs. Fun! 😄

I think the word Christians needs to be in quotations when it comes to Americans. It’s doing a whole lot of work.

Trump's kleptocratic Administration, populated by an unqualified sycophant like Pete Hegseth, serves as a strident “f*ck you” to the millions who lost years and futures and limbs trying to protect a Republic that is now teetering on the edge of the abyss. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/donald-tru...

He is not well.

The shrimp (pets, not food) we ordered for our aquariums are due to arrive today, and I'm ridiculously excited to get them. 😆 a picture of two Amano shrimp in my daughter's aquarium now. They are so fun to watch.

There is no “invasion from within” just like there is no “Tren de Aragua” invasion from Venezuela. You can’t make things up, then use them as an excuse for going to war or disappearing innocent people into foreign prisons.

The Epstein files have turned the entire GOP in Congress into a bunch of Gym Jordans. They know the truth about a pedophile but are actively covering it up.

This is my original Sophia, "Primal" (available). I was saddened to hear #JaneGoodall passed away today. What a beautiful person who believed in love and kindness to all, and displayed it with such inspiration. May the earth and all that is upon it thrive in love and kindness!

true

october mood seen on FB, didn't see them here.

Shout out to all who bought my books in September or read them with Kindle Unlimited.📚💙 I know that, emotionally, it's been rough with everything going on in the world to be creative or read or write or whatever, so I'm glad to see people are still escaping into books. Enjoy! And thanks😊❤️

mood - Happy October!!

ed Cruz coming out in support of Pedophiles is nothing new. The guy has been a registered Republican for years.

They didn’t have MedBeds in Starfleet until well after warp drive was discovered.

from Wednesday's post: the Secretary of Stupid, Piss-Drunk Pete Kegstand, basically ordered our military to commit more war crimes, and then Little Donny Fuckface got up and blithered incoherently, because of course he did. please read the whole thing — link is here: bit.ly/3KOoHiU

Glory!

Characterizing this as a "waste of time" completely misses the moment. This was the opposite of a waste of time: it was a blood-red defiant line in the sand to the entire U.S. military to decide which side of tyranny they will stand on. No matter how deranged yam tits sounded when delivering it.

Found on facebook. Unsure of original artist.

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

I'd be curious to know who much it cost the American taxpayers to flying generals in from all over the world so Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump would have a captive audience to witness their weird and dangerous witlessness live.

If you heard the leader of another nation threatening to unleash the military against his perceived political enemies, what would you call it?

Gallego: "The president is an idiot. He doesn't actually understand how the military works."

"America is under invasion from within. We're under invasion from within, no different than a foreign enemy, but more difficult in many ways, because they don't wear uniforms," Trump said. Nazi. "https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-preside-over-unusual-military-gathering-virginia-2025-09-30/"

"Someone who says I am against abortion but I am in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don't know if that's pro-life," the pontiff told journalists outside his residence in Castel Gandolfo. www.reuters.com/world/pope-l...

More guns than people… Is it freedom or a national death cult that keeps growing?

COLLINS: So you're telling me you're willing to vote no every time? BERNIE SANDERS: Damn right

yep

A reminder that the Senate is controlled by Republicans (as is the House, White House, and Supreme Court), so any shutdown was caused by Republicans, and Republicans only.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Shocker of all shockers...

You have to hand it to the generals. Unlike so many other people in this country, they know how to conduct themselves in public. They know they are supposed to be apolitical. So they greeted Trump's political speech with silence. And you could have heard a medal drop when Pete Hegseth finished.

"He is the literal embodiment of the American Dream the GOP has spent decades waving in our faces. So, what’s the problem? Let’s just say it’s a pigmentation issue, with a side order of MAGA cultism and a dash of homophobia thrown in." @johnpavlovitz.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/johnpavl...

Truth.

This little Beep is the best laundry assistant. 😊❤️

Seen on facebook, could not find @thecheezem here on Bluesky

Yet again, trump and his nazis are busted for violating the Constitution www.wbaltv.com/article/fede...

I grew up golfing with my dad. Somebody needed to drive the cart when the guys were drinking, why not a kid? 😄Anyway, it's relaxing to play, but, imo, very boring to watch, but did you see the Ryder Cup news? Holy shit! Talk about ugly Americans😬😮 nypost.com/2025/09/30/s...

It’s a fact. Data from three decades of political violence reveals that right-wing terror attacks outnumber attacks from the left. And it’s not even close!

This govt. shutdown is all about whether Republicans will get away with raising health care premiums by 75% for 20 million Americans & throwing 15 million people off their health care. We can’t allow that to happen. ☎️ 202-224-3121. NO to #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown

If Trump would just release the damn Epstein files he wouldn’t have to shut down the government to distract from them.

Okay, in a household of 4 adults (me, hubby, two grown kids) plus a couple of partners who live here at times, how many laundry baskets do I need in order to have more than one in the laundry room at any given time? 🤔
