There was a time not that long ago when my job was an anxiety attack every day. I just had someone ask about something from those days and I think I dissociated before I started having a full blown anxiety attack. Did my JOB give me PTSD? (Only half joking. I had chest pain for a bit)

There's a joke in here somewhere about tactical pants, but I'm just too lazy to care. Now, what's the statute of limitations on misappropriation of funds? He flew under the justice radar, but I have a THING about the Interior Department, and he was a shitty secretary.

People who are on #Substack: Is it possible to have different sections? I have varied interests and might like to write about them.

So President Farquaad is literally going to sacrifice people into the maw of pointless war with ZERO plan aside from trying to survive another news cycle and silence anyone questioning a wartime president. Fuck that, Donnie. And Pete...get a better speechwriter.

While I agree that this is significant, I disagree that it's not dramatic. The prospect of being being grilled by Sheldon Whitehouse again is probably haunting his nightmares.

Okay. No more social media for me today. I'm off to write. Catch you guys when my stomach isn't in knots.

I hadn't thought of this. But it should be fine. The FBI has that counter terrorism task f...oh, wait.

@dakotabrimage.bsky.social it was good to meet you at Barnes & Nobles today!

Congratulations. You harassed a married staffer until she submitted to your perversions leading to her suicide and still kept your job because the Republican Party stands for nothing except the acquisition of power. Congrats, Tony. bsky.app/profile/atru...

I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party. We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness — or one rooted in cruelty and rage.

I was just discussing audio dramas with my writing group! I've always wanted to do one.

Hey #politicalsky, what's your favorite movie about politics in the US? For me it's a tossup between Dave and The American President.

This was what Trump was aiming for with his on the spot loyalty test. Stochastic terrorism during the State of the Union Address.

A Ford Pinto is safer than a Cyber Truck. For people of a certain age, it's definitely an IYKYK situation.

It's the little Tesla Boycott sign, for me. Y'all keep it up.

Tomorrow is stay at home date night. I got some interesting cheeses and a baguette from Aldi, and Husbeast found some raspberry basil preserves, olives, and a few fancy meats. If we add in a few chocolates and the grapes in the fridge, we'll have a nice charcuterie board.

The only State of the Union I recommend you listen to is by the Poet Laureate of the Resistance, Robert Arnold. The state of the Union is tired, as he says, but we can let it rest in arms raised in protest. youtu.be/6NacLIH5h48?...

No more posting. Just had to delete a reply because I forgot half the words in a sentence.

Whew, Mikey. Don't threaten me with a good time.

Tell me something good that's happening in your community/neighborhood. We need to zoom in on what's closest to our lives and make those things better.

Do I give a wet fart about the lies The dementia-ridden fascist spouts during a speech that could literally just be an email? No. What's more important are the things that are going unsaid. The dog that didn't bark, so to speak. Terror. Kidnapping. Murder. Economic & Intellectual Decimation.

The thing about data centers and their construction boom is that they encapsulate everything wrong with the capitalist system. Greed. Graft. The inability to MAKE things, so you steal them. And to hell with anyone who might stand in the way.

FFS, we are in the Upside Down. TMZ is doing real news?

This explains much about my personality.

Ladies & Gentlemen, my senator. I'm so done with this Foghorn Leghorn POS.

More on the French army officer's coat repair saga. Finally, my DMC Eco Vita color cards arrived. I think we're looking at 608, though the light makes it look like 607 in this light.

Went to the East Baton Rouge Parish Main Library for an event today. Met two authors, bought their books. 2 horror anthologies and 1 that looks like a murder mystery. Alt text for titles, etc.

Let's try this again 👋 Hi Bluesky - I'm Massachusetts' Attorney General. You might know me from suing President Trump nearly 50 times, beating Uber and Lyft in court, or being the first woman of color elected to statewide office in MA. I officially left X today - help me find my MA people?

I can't say I ever actually saw the word spelled out before, but it's phonetic, so I'll allow it. WRASSLIN', y'all.

Rmeinder to authors who have any ability to negotiate in contracts: make sure your audio contract precludes this.

He sounds like he's trying to convince himself.

Husbeast snores on purpose to "manifest" sleep. I simply cannot understand the human brain. It's a wild place.

Does anyone LIKE self-evaluations at work? They're a nightmare. Asking me to objectively evaluate my performance is just mean. I always think I suck and beat myself up over even the smallest mistakes, so thanks once more for the Annual Re-Traumatization Period.

Good to hear there's still sanity somewhere.

incredible how many buckaroos do not realize the universes constantly spilling off of them, all the time, every day. you are the most glorious, beautiful being across a thousand different worlds because every choice you make is a REALITY YOU JUST BUILT, and you can build them with love

Like, don't threaten me with a good time.

I knew what song they were parodying from the first note. SHORT FUSE, LONG JACKET. youtube.com/shorts/kUDCV...

Having just watched the Colbert-Talarico interview, I think I understand why the regime is so scared of him. He's a very religious person, who is willing and able to explain how Christian Nationalism is in no way Christian. He represents an offramp for Christians from the Religious Right.

This is what I have been saying. Is it really a negotiation if the mediator favors one side?

My department is hiring a Biological Anthropologist, spread the word!!! jobs.radford.edu/jobs/teachin...

Clearly, none of these schmoes has heard of Barbara Streisand.

My mom is slowly coming around to how shitty the regime and their enablers in Congress are. She sent me a text that shows she's looking at fact-checking sites (hallelujah), and she said Chip Roy is a fascist. Long story short, there's hope. Just grab onto it.

I think I would agree with maybe 2 things with Bill Kristol, but one thing he said recently just makes too much sense. On the subject of Marco Rubio's white nationalist agitprop speech in Munich, he said that Marco's parents came here for freedom, not to become more Anglo-Saxon.

So raccoons are a little scary. youtu.be/mRCTMys7xgk?...

There's a reason I would have gotten along very well with WTS.

Stop calling them underage women. They're children.

Starting to think that the reason Trump/Hegseth got so cheesed off about the "refuse illegal orders" video isn't because they were saying that to active duty service members. I think they're pissy because THE PUBLIC heard it. It blew a hole in the idea that the military has to follow all orders.

Researchers have found that 6 of 10 abortion restrictions — bans on Medicaid funding for abortion, mandated waiting periods, 2nd-trimester abortion bans, ACA marketplace insurance coverage bans, biased counseling laws, and ultrasound requirements — were linked to higher rates of maternal mortality.
