Did YOU vote for the orange man? Are you finally realizing he (and the entire GOP) fooled you into thinking they were serious, competent professionals who would 'fix' this nation? Don't know what to do with your dismay/anger/humiliation now that you're seeing how they lied? www.leavingmaga.org

It's not Red-vs-Blue. We distill down to Cooperators-vs-Competitors. Cooperators want to do the most good, for the most people; Competitors face life as if they alone matter. It's the party of US-vs-the party of ME. One empowers & protects the community; the other cares only about self. Which R U?

Women: Would the man you are with ever VOTE for a (qualified) woman candidate? If not, why are you with him? His reluctance (or refusal) to vote for a such a woman means he will NEVER see YOU as his equal. And that means he sees you as his subservient. Is THAT what you choose for yourself?? WHY??

Well, THIS sounds like a fun dose of reality (for the READER, *not* the protagonist!)! Some might call this karma... @plotlesspodcast.bsky.social

Someone today told me Trump was a Russian asset. I informed them that, "ET left town; that means Trump is now just a Russian ass."

Rate limit exceeded?

Ummm...I don't think that's what I said...? You can decide for yourself whether or not I maligned magicians and/or firemen, OR 'lectured' The PlotLasses about gossiping. I was told there also *might* be a song clip at the end? Anyway, we had a good time recording this; I hope you enjoy listening!

If you see this, i implore you to post a picture from whatever device you're using without explanation

Last night's audience raucously sang along to anti-this-administration songs: www.youtube.com/live/CcH--m3... (Video cued to start of my set) Next Up: The PlotLasses from @plotlesspodcast.bsky.social will interview me about songwriting. (I KNEW you'd be impressed!) Watch for that link next week!

So...I'm going to be a guest on @plotlesspodcast.bsky.social this week! Our hosts are two women with a novel passion, bringing us along on their journey. I'll talk about songwriting while *trying* to be relevant to their audience of prose and poetry writers. Gulp! I'll post the link once it's live.

If Brian Kilmeade wants Strait of Hormuz shippers to "show some guts and go through that Strait, and do it"*, perhaps HE should be on one of those ships first? Once again, those in no danger expect OTHERS to be brave for *their* benefit. Fuck off, Brian Kilmeade! *quoted by Heather Cox-Richardson

All Communities, beware of: - Developers trying to buy land or push through projects without proof of intended use (fascists are trying to sneak in data centers & concentration camps) - Groups trying to abolish property taxes (Ask, "Where will $ for public services--schools, 911, etc.--come from?)

#MusicChallenge youtu.be/AWNKHnVxZDI?... "I'll Be Blue with You"

Sing along, Kids!

Thank goodness we didn't elect one of those women! Can you IMAGINE the shape this world would be in if one of THEM had been President at this moment in history? < /sarcasm > I grieve the evil and the stupidity that 'humanity' has become...

THIS is why only Fox News has been playing on military TVs the last few years; this administration needs soldiers who won't question illegal orders. They've been steadily indoctrinated so long by this State TV network, they're ready to die for lies spread by the baby-fucking mobsters in our gov't.

I love this! #USDemocracy

Y'all, The Bulwark skews right in its coverage...and even THEY'RE sharing this scathing testimony about how ICE training ENCOURAGES lawlessness from its employees... ICE is a criminal organization and must be abolished.

Want to follow me? But: +No ORIGINAL posts of your own? +No replies to others' posts (or 'bot-sounding' replies)? +Sales/crypto/other business account? +Sus or no bio? +Thirst-trap photos (M *or* F)? You'll likely get blocked. Nice try.

Going forward: Per the Flock camera network abusing Ring doorbells, please remember--Big Tech will continue to push voice activation options, electronic homes, 'smart TVs', etc. at us. But just because we *can* have such things...*should* we...??? Don't bring the police state into your home!

Really well done! (Great content...but also watch the captions!)

🤣 Pam Bondi as a waitress. 🤣 👇👍

Yet another 'NOT-a-Democrat'... Tell me again who has been running an international sex ring? Which political party evidences the MAJORITY of convictions for SA and related crimes? Yep. It's almost always 'NOT-a-Democrat'...

There are many things that I want to do, but can’t for some reason.

Back in the 1980s, Dr. James Dobson (Focus on the Family) served on a government commission to study pornography. He would often mention he read and saw 'horrible' things while on that assignment. Knowing what we do now, I wonder how many of those Commission folks are in the Epstein files...?

A book club/publishing scams thread re websites that LOOK good but include nonexistent AI 'books' and 'authors'. In the end, all want your $. Be *very* careful when others reach out about liking your book and wanting it for their 'book club', or offering contacts, etc. @plotlesspodcast.bsky.social

For those upset about the Super Bowl halftime show: Libera todos los archivos de Epstein—sin censurar!!

Ok, you can stop texting me, I saw the Ring ad. Troubling things about it 🧵: -The long awaited (much warned about) intro of “AI” recognition. It starts w/ searching for a “brown dog” but means the tech is there for lisence plate reading, face recognition, searching for suspects by description, etc

Does anyone else love the irony that the halftime show has now eclipsed the importance of the game itself?

This is where LOCAL politics are important: If our communities are deciding whether or not to provide land for data centers, or warehouses for ICE detentions, this calm speech is a reminder that when we let Nazis get a foothold in our communities, bad things happen to good people... Block them all!

Is anyone surprised? I challenge you: Every time you see a sexual crime reported (locally or nationally), look up the accused's voter registration. By my own estimate, 75-90% of the time the offender is GOP. Go ahead--'do your own research'; you'll see...

Did someone add me to a starter pack? I can't find evidence of that, but over the last three days, I've gotten @100 new followers...and I don't know why. (I'd *like* to think my music is driving people here...although the rational part of my brain says that's not likely...😆)

This is a beautifully-written, nay, poetic address to Southern men who have lost their way, delivered by one of their own. I agree with @ 90% of what he has to say...and that 90% is important enough to share. Please give him a listen...especially if you're a 'Southern Man'...

For those of you in danger of getting pepper-sprayed by tiny-dicked, anger-unmanaged, law-authority-impersonating cosplayers, this ophthalmologist recommends baby shampoo/water mix to clean out that oil-based irritant dispensed by oily, base irritraitors.

You see, the thing about [current distraction topic] is, WHERE ARE THE GD, UNREDACTED EPSTEIN FILES???? #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

Nailed it

This cat! He's been crying in the back room for the last 3 nights. I FINALLY figured out what he wants: There's a shelf I installed for him beneath the window. He likes to lie there, enjoying the afternoon sunbeam. He cries at night...BECAUSE THE SUN IS GONE AND I WON'T FIX IT FOR HIM!!! 🤣

Events that led us where we are today--the murder of American citizens by poorly-trained, violence-loving, government-sanctioned killers--are why I wrote this song: youtu.be/g368zkuqruM?... We WERE working toward an ideal--but this regime has pissed on every good intent of The American Dream.

Who called it a loan shark and not a Borrowcuda

FWIW, this American says, "NO!" to our government's violation of international, rules-based order. How 'bout YOU? #NO

May we get the #NewYear each of us deserves... #Justice

After reading about some of the nonsense being spewed by celebrity MAGATs, I must roll my eyes and say: It's time to stop giving EVERYONE a microphone. ( - says the woman using her social media as a microphone...)

How I'm saying, "Goodbye" to 2025:

Hey, @plotlesspodcast.bsky.social ...

During Bluesky's technical issues over the last two days, I'd been hoping SOMEONE would create an account for "R. Count Graphemes" whose bio would exclaim, "I am not a function!" But, alas, no one did. Le sigh.

Describe your cat's personality with one photo #catsofbluesky

Have you felt like your house was on fire and as you scrambled to tell everyone and urge them to fight the fire or get to safety, they kept watching TV, almost intentionally oblivious of the imminent death around them? Yeah...

This was Disney's response to fascism in the past. Today? Talk about turning your back on an otherwise honorable heritage...! youtu.be/L90smU0SOcQ?...
