After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

In case anyone was wondering how it’s going over on American Girl doll Instagram

Rest in Peace Alex Jeffrey Pretti🙏🏾 The VA ICU Nurses send him off right 💔

There are, apparently, some people who find that Hudson Williams is not a good actor because Shane was so awkward in Heated Rivalry. Which just goes to show that they don't realized how much he actually nailed that character. Because Shane is awkward AF.

There are so many gay hockey romances out there that I genuinely forget that I've read some of these books/series. That has never happened with Rachel Reid. I've read her books twice already and will start the series again for a 3rd time soon.

“The gentleman I was standing next to was focused on helping people who were coming into Nicollet Avenue understand that they needed to take it slow and helping them get through. The ICE agents approached us, told us to back up, back up.

Another person killed in Minneapolis. For you 2nd Amendment folks, they were trying to disarm him and he resisted, and he was killed. They don't give a shit about the Constitution. They will come for your weapons.

I was born in Minneapolis and lived there until I was about 23. I plan to move back in about 10 years to live out my retirement years there. I have a whole community there that I love, and I could not be more proud of all those participating in the protests today. I love you & stay safe!

If you can and are so moved. Thinking about my Twin Cities friends and their community today ❤️

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

I know there are a lot of people shocked and in pain about what happened in MN today. And, I grieve for the woman who died (in fact, I was worried it was going to be someone I knew) and her people. And, for all us white people, this is what black/brown people have been facing forever.

If you see this, repost with your model of positive masculinity.

Watching the guys on the Empty Netters podcast review Heated Rivalry is both hysterical and eye opening.

i’ve ended up with one extra @yearofbelonging.bsky.social izzy hands calendar, so I’m doing a little giveaway raffle!! just comment and repost :) US only pls unless you can pay shipping u_u

I wonder how we can get Nathan Foad into the next season of Heated Rivalry. Or Con? Although, I don't know that Crave has the budget for Con.

HEATED RIVALRY OMG!

I really appreciate everyone's love yesterday and today. I am, as usual, feeling better this morning. I had a good brunch. And I am doing a Whatnot auction this evening. It gives me something to do and I could seriously use the money, as well. If you celebrate, Merry Christmas.

For most of my life, my parents hosted Christmas at their house. We had the big dinner on Christmas Eve and exchanged gifts afterward. On Christmas day, dad made waffles and sausages, then we opened "Santa gifts" and our stockings. Tonight and tomorrow, I have no one. I, officially, hate this.

Thank you all for your support. I keep thinking he is going to jump up on my lap.

I'm feeling super anxious tonight. I don't know why. No, scratch that, I think I know part of it. We talked about vicarious trauma in the group supervision I lead for unlicensed clinicians. We also talked about the Social Worker who was stabbed to death in SF by one of his clients.

Repost, we're still down $40 before we can even start buying things, any help and shares are always appreciated <3

Great reporting and a knockout final line: “Not long after, as the sun was going down, an SUV with tinted windows and an out-of-state license plate was seen barreling down a nearby street. It was followed closely by three cars, with drivers laying on their horns and whistling.”

I'm annoyed. It is the last day of my week off, and I have been achy and exhausted all week. I am going to eat lunch and go take a nap. Just annoyed.

As I am getting up there in years, I took the step of signing up for one of those critical illness insurances that also gives you a payment for taking a preventative test. I hadn't yet gotten around to my pap this year, so I went online and found I could make a claim for the chest Xray I had done

As I ate my Friendsgiving dinner, I gave gratitude to the Native peoples who once lived on this land in CA. Their history is sad and I sometimes think this town is somewhat cursed because of it. The band who lived here committed mass suicide because they did not wish to submit to living in the

Today, I had a non-traditional, to me Thanksgiving dinner. I made a tri-tip roast (already marinated so I didn't have to fuss with it), collard greens (boiled with smoked turkey leg), and macaroni and cheese. I had to put the greens on pretty early, but it all was only about 45 minutes work.

This week off is going way too fast.

My guts have been finicky all day. I got some yogurt to hopefully help that out, but I'm going to just go to bed first tonight. I got my shopping done for the next week or so and I'm exhausted tonight. Sleep well.

"You'll be visited by three spirits." The three spirits:

I've been seeing a few posts about the outrage that rape has been used by Israeli soldiers during the Palestinian genocide. I, too, am outraged by rape, and I also cannot find myself outraged by those acts alone. The cruelty is the point. It is why the whole must be taken into account.

Freddie has been gone for 34 years today. Just a reminder of how good he was. www.dailymotion.com/video/x2ppvsy

First working day off my week off. Typical that my ADHD brain wants to do EVERYTHING at once. My body is still tired and my stamina isn't great. I have to plan things out in a measured way. So, today is for one load of laundry. Prepping my Whatnot sales to mail. Making dinner. That's it.

Today was the last of the antibiotics. I am hoping the fatigue goes away soon. That has been less than fun.

The DOE can fuck all the way off. Shortage of social workers/therapists, teachers, nurses, physical therapists? Let's just do what we can to make students for these degree programs not eligible for "professional degree" loan programs.

During the drive to the station, prosecutors say she made statements to officers about immigration enforcement, including, “Why are you doing this to your people?” and “What are you going to tell your children about what you do?” fucking hero!

I'm really hoping I wake up feeling able to work tomorrow because rest can be kind of boring. And I have all week next week to be bored on vacation. P.S. I won't be bored but it would also be nice to feel up to doing something during the time I'm off. How are all of you?

2 antibiotics make Kari a sleepy baby.

I'm glad I insisted on more after the chest Xray of my lung infection showed nebulous "scarring." I had a CT on Monday night and it just came back, pointing to continued probable infection. So another round of antibiotics. And it caught something else.

My roommate tells me that the earthquake that had its epicenter 2.5 miles from my house sounded like a huge crack. I just hope it wasn't my house and it was the earth 'cause I can't afford to fix that. It was only a 3.6 and lasted for just a moment. Nothing has fallen down.

I need to understand what Vico means to my brain. I have now had 2 dreams about them in the past 2 weeks. This one this morning was literally as I was oversleeping. I went to the smallest Comicon ever and they were there as the only OFMD crew.

Of course, the most valuable tintype I've ever owned, and I won't sell it because PUPPY!

The flavor of Stephen Colbert that I love the most is the Tolkien Nerd! And I am not the only one. Watch him charm the socks off of Robert Plant by reciting a verse of Tolkien to him. "Fancy a drink, after?" youtu.be/VWFa-a5baDY?...

I did all the adulting today: Talked about coping with vicarious trauma with my supervision group. Made myself get out of bed and actually work today when I didn't want to. Made myself go to my CT scan appointment. Put medicated ointment in my kitty's eye

No kids on Halloween, but that just means more goodies for me. Jackson got some meds for his eye. I have been spending a lot of money. I am reading a Motorcycle Club Gay Romance series. Be well, my friends.

Except to post my selling nonsense and the bad news of my day, I feel like I've hardly been around. This week is the week of Halloween/Samhain. I'm planning to do some sort of working to reconnect with the ancestors. Maybe they will bring better news than we currently have. I also need to get

Another Whatnot show today, selling CDVs, Cabinet Cards, & Tintypes starting at $2. If you like that sort of thing, come by and check it out 1 - 3 pm PDT. www.whatnot.com/live/5323b04...
