Woke up from a nap with this in my head:

This thread explains a lot.

DO NOT TAKE THE BAIT on Saturday

The belly laughs are worth so much these days. The fact that the humor & the frogs are breaking through and spreading says that the tide might be turning.

On vacation, finished this silly thingie today.

Part of why I chose Portland

Thank you @sarahkendzior.bsky.social. Your clarity and creativity have helped me keep from spiraling into abject despair.

We're thr Frogs

Got out to the #Portland Pajamas & Pastries Protest with a friend this morning. It was damp, but the peeps were lovely.

#StLouis Does anyone know of a recipe for St Louis Style Cheesecake?

It's my birthday. Went out for brunch with @aravine.bsky.social & ordered my hometown fave foods: Imo's Pizza & Fitz's soda. I'm making Pasta House Salad & attempting St. Louis style cheesecake. (Possibly similar to Baltimore Smearcase, both cities were heavily settled by German immigrants.)

@knittingcultlady.bsky.social I want to start the Knit In mirror event in #pdx.

I've had similar thoughts.

I love my chosen hometown.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece. It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out. 1/2

I have so many words for ICE Barbie. I'd debate her, but ... something... something... battle of wits... unarmed opponent... you know the drill. #PDXisNOTaWarzone

Just getting this idea going. We are stronger as WE rather than ME. Bring yourself, bring your talents, bring your ideas. We are stronger together. #SWPDX

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat. For the crime of … complaining about government policy. Core 1A speech. With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

New meme:

Great videos.

Love this. Superbly done. Please send this far and wide. @donwinslow.bsky.social

Good interview

A frog just defeated ICE. Somewhere Pepe is crying.

Pretty much 😍

I took a nap and woke from really bad dreams, and a thought, "Living under fascism coats your soul like black lung that gets coughed up in your dreams."

Attn Black people, stop scrolling. This is not a drill: Chicago

The song and video: powerful truth. #PDXisNOTaWarzone

Homeland security is making shit up about Portland. This local news report is pretty good. #PDXisNOTaWarzone

Super anxious about where things are going. Took a first step to connecting with local folks to get a framework of a mutual aid group together. #pdx

This made me cry.

Heads up #PDX! You can bet there are others wanting/planning to do the same thing.

Eloquence personified. "... What we refuse to face will someday speak our names out loud..."

World According to Briggs....

FDT is feeling his mortality: aware his days are numbered. He fears death more than the Epstein files, but they also remind him. His sudden desire to go to heaven echoes this, but his lifelong grift is intertwined. He's trying to buy off Death itself, even if it means sacrificing us all.

Battlefront Portland SitRep day 2: slept in and crafted.

FDT is sending troops to Portland. Delusional. I picked more tomatoes. #pdx

Enjoy this beauty fest from @funnyordie.bsky.social. Watch and listen. #WomensRightsAreHumanRights

I finished the cloth liner for my card deck

Apparently the rapture is set to occur on Thursday. Remembering a shirt from the 80s: "When the Rapture comes can I have your car?" Believers are gonna be real disappointed on Friday & in real mental pain. Also thought of an Illuminati card:

My Sunday with Miss Mayhem #catsofbluesky & #crochet. I'm using the ❤️ Granny Square yarn, works pretty good. I'm making afghans for my grandsons for 🎅 🎁. Today is politics break day. But this documentary ~ the Nazis arrogantly believing that the Enigma was unbreakable... So many echoes for today.

I was gifted a deck of meditation cards last week, they needed a box. So I made one.

My latest Substack, revamped from 2020, but edied and updated.
