Re: me learning Korean- Me: “…and I’ll be able to properly cuss out my stories.” Eldest: “hmmmm I don’t think so.” Me: *tiny gasp* “you doubt my skills?” Eldest: “Nope. But, I don’t think there’s a direct Korean translation for ‘this coiffed mullet wearing motherfucker…’” In my defense….

With ICE and border patrol goons spreading out across the country, I put together a resource guide for buying, printing, and distributing whistles, based on my own experience. Now is the time to whistle up, hope this helps. dansinker.com/posts/202…

TODAY’S NEW HUBBLE IMAGE OF THE LOST GALAXY 🌌

Rep. Jasmine Crockett has released receipts that reveal that ProPublica has reported that Kristi Noem secretly diverted hundreds of millions of dollars in Department of Homeland Security funds to a consulting firm affiliated with her own campaign.

Wanted everyone to see this 🤷‍♂️

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that. No phones, no staff, nothing. I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

I’ve long accepted the high probability of meeting my demise via trying to hug something I shouldn’t. Around 3:30am I was reminded of the 2nd highest- forgetting I “pinned” my hair up w/ knitting needles, chopsticks, paintbrushes, etc then falling asleep & accidentally stabbing myself w/ them. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Just watching a Kdrama and eating seaweed with my cat. We get pretty wild up in here on Friday nights. It is Friday, right?

Just going to sit here and sob. 🥹♥️

I just watched a show where a woman gave birth by herself in an empty office complex, then strangled one of the men after her with the umbilical cord complete with placenta still dangling from it. How are we still living in a Patriarchy?

Make it make sense

😂

Today is the 111th birthday of Viola Ford Fletcher, the oldest living survivor of the 1921 Tulsa race massacre

All about what they’re doing to NOAA, and it’s a great list to call Congress about. ☎️📱📞 A variety of letters from @resist.bot to sign send and share:

JK Rowling is the Elon Musk of literature.

"Like a magician declining to explain his tricks, Mr. Lynch refused to discuss the meaning of his films. “I like things that leave some room to dream,” he told the New York Times in 1995. “A lot of mysteries are sewn up at the end, and that kills the dream.” www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2...

And tonight I will be in my blanket fort marathoning all things Twin Peaks. 😞

Oh shit. 😞 I grew up with him as a local fixture. My fave memory- in HS I worked at an Ad Agency. We’d go across the street to the pub for lunches in the summer. He was building a house near. One day his wife backed her new car through the new garage door. The rant he spewed coming in was amazing.

Are we still boycotting Starbucks? Absolutely. Is one of my favorite things to order the most expensive free birthday drink from them annually so it’s not really crossing the boycott especially because I tip really well? Also absolutely. This year’s would have been $15. 😊

Happy holidays, everyone! www.sciencealert.com/nasa-just-re...

You guys remember TweetDeck? Bluesky has it, and it's free. Check out 🔗 deck.blue by @gildaswise.com for a multi-column interface. 2/10

I know that I’m privileged with the ability to buy local eggs from so many farmers near me for so cheap. The whole “cost of eggs” was lost on me. This morning I realized those basic, usually under a dollar for a dozen, eggs at the grocery store are now almost A DOLLAR MORE THAN A GALLON OF GAS. 😳

Me for the next six weeks anytime I’m asked to do something I don’t want to. #doctorwho

Love to ban trans women from capitol restrooms in order to “protect women and girls” while suppressing a report about the incoming attorney general paying for the statutory rape of a minor while in congress and showing women’s nudes on the House floor

It’s snowing!! ❄️💙❄️ My love of snow is Gilmorean.

You all should be reading Uncanny X-Men because well just because.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett: "There has been no oppression for the white man in this country ... it is white men on this side of the aisle telling us, people of color on this side of the aisle, that y'all are the ones being oppressed."

Very me

This, I beg of all of you. Please call your reps and your reps only. When you call reps who don't rep you: 1. It gives reps to disregard all calls on the subject, 2. It prevents actual constituents from calling in, for starters.

I do not take kindly to people even side-eyeing libraries & librarians. They need to be protected.

Interesting

Got one of the coolest tote bags at the Barras. 🖤

Happy Caturday from these nerds (aka Ron Swanson & Leslie Meowpe) 💖

Netflix needs to stop asking if I’m still watching and start asking if I moved the laundry to the dryer

On a scale from 1 to Go Sit Down, Natali - how unhinged would it be to transfer my shop from Squarespace to Shopify in the next day? I’ve neglected my site & need to change that. I’m trying to figure out if I spend time trying to redo what I have until the new year, or if I just launch anew now.

Today’s Natali brought to you by drinking Stōk peppermint mocha straight out of the bottle. ♥️☕️♥️

My employees are the laziest. But, also cute.

Ohio just passed a transgender bathroom ban, SB 104. Please, fellow Ohioans, call Governor DeWine at 614-466-3555 and ask him to veto the bill. I’m scared.

Love this!

Okay, downloading StoryGraph now. Given all the research I do for Bones and Bobbins, along with the weirdness that is me, my Good Reads has probably landed me on several lists. 😂😂

Looks like it’s time to switch

In my “why don’t they make a cauldron crock pot?” era.

Me at 10pm: “I’m actually sleepy…..zzzz” Me at 1am: *suddenly wide awake* “Now would be a good time to research all of the Dutch ovens out there so I can begin days long hunt for the best one only to actually not buy one because I don’t buy things for me.” Even Ron Swanson was side-eying my brain.

for some reason it really bugs me when people talk about not drinking the Kool-Aid IT WAS FLAVOR-AID CAN YOU PLEASE GET IT RIGHT ITS BEEN DECADES
