Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis diverted more than $35 MILLION in taxpayer dollars to defeat two ballot initiatives last year. I’ve got the @miamiherald.com‘s blockbuster reporting on how DeSantis cheated needy Floridians and children from their already-earmarked funds. youtu.be/EM0uTojxLCM?...

That's awesome. I've seen plenty of crabs wearing anemones, but not too many deep sea snails that do it. @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 888 #argentiniandeepseeps #MarineLife #CONICET

Reminder that years ago it was found out that the FBI straight up made up a whole bunch of fake forensic sciences, plural. People have gone to jail and been executed due to literally pseudoscience. Hair forensics, for instance, is totally nonsense. They admitted it. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Thank you SO much for reading!!! And don’t worry: The sequel is in the works 😆

Talking myself through this online like Ulgra... LOOKS like GELFLING... SMELLS like GELFLING... MUST BE GELFLING! Don't mind the crazy lady, she's just realigning herself with the Universe.

OK. If I do the exercise first, I'll probably be more inclined to do more stuff that will help my brain. So, that's a plan. Now to work up the motivation. Perhaps bribery...

I really hate being angry. I am not that kind of person & when I get fired up, I get all shaky & I can't come down from anger-crack high for a long time. I hate it. But I am also a Scorpio. Currently in a pickle where my mental health is on one base and a giant interstellar Scorpion is on another.

At 51 (that's a lie, I'm 26) I delete 4 out of 5 posts I start writing. I feel like I should be paid, or at least thanked, for this service. This one squeaked by.

Things I know will help that I don't currently want to do: Work in the garden Exercise/Dance Wash the dishes That is all.

Christmas is over and my depression cycle kicked in. LIFE stuff made that worse. Now I'm in mental shittyville and I've got to find my way out. It might be a blend of figure it out and let it ride. Sometimes you just have to allow yourself to be a poot. Until the poot passes. This is science.

Reminder that if you still have FSA funds to spend this year, you can spend them at FSA store: fsastore.com - you can purchase menstrual products for example to donate to your local pantries and homeless shelters. I have $130 left and that's what I did yesterday.

I got a whetstone knife sharpening kit that I had wanted for Christmas. Been spending time making all the kitchen knives instruments of doom. I like it.

It's Caturday Night. Beorn shows us the way.

I know I am a writer because I have been writing for 20 minutes with both socks on but only one shoe.

There is a short story I've been meaning to finish, but it requires more research in the Japanese Imperial family. This is the first weekend I'm actually kind of free to do my own thing in a long time. Going to put in the work so I can get to the fun monster part.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, Fam! I love you. We shall overcome. Would post pics but staying in the moment. Shout out to the nerds and geeks getting good presents today. See you later, tater!

Very proud of me. Decided to chill and not do the apple caramels and shaped sugar cookies. Just xmas eve dinner now. Had shark coochy on Lazy Susan tonight and washed dishes. I must learn to relax and recover. Wishing you magic! Nite!

Loving my family with food. Eggnog challah French toast with bacon and berries.

8yo just asked me if "ASS" stands for "Ass Shit Shit"

One of the more important stock-taking moments to watch a bootlegged news program censored in your country.

Last night's Solstice dinner was brownstew chicken, rice and peas, and avocado.

G'nite, from Beorn, as this lovely Caturday draws to a close.

My Christmas Spritz cookies.

Tater tot casserole.

PB & Nutella cookies with sea salt.

The only V-neck apron I have is also a Christmas one. Fa-la-la...

How to talk with ice:

ICE whistles work.

Almost on vacation and really excited about using the cookie gun again. I reloaded my sprinkle stash.

I finally had the MRIs. Not crazy, whiny or weak. Bulging discs in ur neck, mangled rotator cuff junk & more will make one hurt. Sucks to have booboos but a big relief not to have it be all in my head. Rotten when you don't trust your brain. But now we know. And knowing is half the battle. GI Joe.

"Why is everyone SO OBSESSED with the Epstein Files," whined the guy who is in the Epstein Files. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I miss you, Gary Gnu. And when no gnews was good gnews.

LMAO McGovern is on fire right now 🔥🔥🔥

Shutting all the mental tabs for 20 minutes and planting some more carrots.

Indiana Jones movies are also comforting. There's archeology and booty traps (That's what I said! Booty traps!) And Harrison Ford's voice. And nazis getting their faces melted. Nazis falling in a crevasse. Nazis getting eaten alive by big ants...

I love Godzilla very much. When I feel sad or upset, I watch Godzilla rip something apart and I feel better.

It's Eggs Nite.

Good morning.

Someone figured out the cookie gun.

Made a bunch of cinnamon swirl loaves for the neighbors. We're keeping this one.

Going live for a read aloud from Pink Zombie Rose: Major Arcana Vol I - Just a Brother - but first we’ll answer reader / listener questions and talk about perfection fatigue. Why people are increasingly looking to indy media - even when it’s messy. Especially then!

Why would anyone want to travel here or even travel within America?

Living Doll was live on read aloud tonight and that’s been posted if you wanna hear it. 💕

The little 7 Bells Garden paid me today. I needed it.

GLASHEEN: Antifa is our primary concern right now. That's the most immediate violent threat we're facing BENNIE THOMPSON: Where is antifa headquartered? GLASHEEN: ... ... ... we are building out the infrastructure right now THOMPSON: What does that mean?

Ramirez to Noem: "You lied on the record and you lied to members of this committee. You violated court orders by not turning around deportation flights bound for El Salvador where we know that hundreds of people under your leadership reported they were raped, beaten, and nearly died."

And they rolled pell mell, roly poly, down the hill.

Ok so there is a ghost. My kitchen timer is ticking and I didn't twist it. Jaimie, you in danger, girl.
