That Democrats see mass-murdering fascists dismantling the country as nothing more than "colleagues they dislike" is why we've been in a non-stop plummet. Incredible this is still debatable, by people who ostensibly oppose fascism, ten years into this?!?

No statement from Mitch McConnell on the sudden passing of his senate colleague? So much for decorum

I need a sociologist or anthropologist (armchair variety is fine if I can't get the credential kind) to explain why we have this custom of not speaking poorly of the dead. Why on earth not. It asks us to lie to protect people who were bad.

Many, many years ago I worked for a certain legal news website to which Lindsey Graham subscribed. Anyway i hardcoded it to always spell his name wrong in the top corner, no matter how many times he tried to manually correct it.

So many good memes this week.

Weekly phone call with Mom, a normie Democrats who felt bad rejoicing about a death. I helped her understand that it’s fine actually. More than fine! A person in power can no longer cause harm. That’s worth celebrating.

Indeed. We are not forcing upon Graham the memory of him being a villain, a coward, and a malignant presence in the country; that was the legacy he chose again and again. He earned our contempt, as has everyone else on his path.

What’s that? Oh, you must be new here. Yes, the class runs every morning, even on the weekends. And it’s mandatory. Hurry up, Lindsey, you don’t want to be late.

Great work, team. I slept 4.5 hours. I’m back and ready to make more jokes.

It’s like when your food is taking a long time to come out so your server brings some free bread to apologize for the wait.

vaxed?

the jokes are tapering. It's okay to go to bed now. Our friends with healthy sleep cycles will pick up the mantle in the morning.

big week for the Graham Reaper

*pinches bridge of nose, eyes closed, takes a deep breath* so do we have ANY idea how many living US Senators there are right now?

It is Christmas in July

lindsey graham won't see your jokes and memes because he got diarrhea and is in hell now, but someone writing an op-ed titled "the left's problem with manners" might. So make them really funny.

Lindsey, I know you’re lonely down there. Summon him to you.

this is why it's important to trade phone numbers with your closest Bluesky friends.

Guess I will have myself a little late night snack

I am posting through it (complimentary)

Y'all we are getting a practice run. What you feel right now. The people you tell. this is all preparation for the big day.

this is the most joy I have felt about a death since Henry Kissinger

they’ve been passing the video from the Ring around the Senate

so glad I stayed up late we were primed for Mitch and now this unlooked-for gift

BYE LINDSEY

So the tamale lady -- she is this magical person who show up to bars. She totes a big, insulated bag containing warm tamales, four to a pack, for ten dollars. If she has a schedule, I do not know it. You just hope fate will smile upon you. It's my third time and third location seeing her.

hire me! I'm nice!

I’m at a Drinkin’ Spelling Bee with @beffgus.bsky.social and my Lyra friend Maddie. I got knocked out in round two with door jamb (I forgot the B), but that’s okay. The tamale lady was here.

I made peanut soup. I hope it goes without saying that I used 3x the peanut butter the recipe called for. A quarter cup? Do not insult me.

You're going to get left behind if you don't use Al." Leave me then. Leave me with my critical thinking skills, my ability to read and write long- form, and books without needing Al summaries.

Let’s make peanut soup.

This heat is no joke. I'm indoors, AC on, shades down, and I am lethargic. This morning I walked Revvie for 15 minutes and chased that with 10 minutes of moderate cardio and a cold shower. And have accomplished nothing since but a 90-minute nap.

hey when we find out mitch mcconnell is dead, there are going to be people who say respectful things. there are going to be people who point to all of our shared humanity. there are going to be people who call for decorum and not speaking ill of the dead. block every last one

Drinking Mishelob Light

I wanna live among people who would never even consider using a leafblower. Where trees rule and the grass grows where it grows and the land is not scaped within an inch of its life.

Chair dance class! Not everyone wishes to see my butt, and that is okay. Do not watch this if you do not wish to see my butt. P.s. all those bruises are from Lyra 🤷‍♀️

If he were living, I would try him yet.⁠— Lend me an arm.

Looking for something fun tonight? Join me at Fly Freak Studio in Saint Paul at 7:30 for the Steppers class. It's an hour of line dancing. It's sliding scale--you choose any amount between $6 and $30. If you're out of shape, that's okay! this is fun, gentle movement.

I am currently wearing a shirt and pants from Costco because I stopped caring about life.

I have now been to a Costco 😵‍💫 My friend (please recall, I have IRL friends now) Gina offered to be my buddy for my first trip. I couldn't have done it without her. That place is huge and scary and crowded. plus it's sunny and 91 American degrees out there. Bad sensory conditions all around.

he needs to save it to his photos. On both my laptop and my phone, I save the most important images for ready access. for example

Weekly gratitude practice. What’s everyone grateful for? Revvie turns 12 next week. He’s slowing down but is still in terrific health. I am never not thinking about his mortality…but I am doing so with gratitude, not fear (mostly). Each day with my best guy is a gift.

No dates, no prospects, but the fashion must go on. I never ever ever wore revealing clothing when I was younger. Now I have muscles up show off. And I am 45. Middle age gives you do-not-give-a-fuck confidence.

🚨 St. Paul is planning to clear three homeless encampments starting August 5th at Pig's Eye Park. An estimated 150 to 160 people will be displaced with no guarantee of shelter. Our unhoused neighbors need us to show up right now. www.instagram.com/rising.water...

His fleece was white as snow…but within him raged a torment—an obsession—he could not know peace and neither could she.

did this song at karaoke and can confirm this is what it felt like

“Aside from the occasional movement, petition or memorial walk, we are often carrying environmental losses quietly and alone.”
