My unpopular opinion is that if your child is too young to walk around an amusement park your child is too young to remember going to an amusement park.

The wealthiest person I ever met was Anita Rodrick when I worked for the Body Shop. I had gone camping the weekend before and was hit with errant firewood and had a black eye. She asked if I had been gay bashed. I said no just a camping accident. That was the whole interaction.

To those who say “violence begets violence.” I say “when? Dying isn’t stopping any of these monsters .”

AI chat bots are just 1-900 call lines with no people or standards. Single robots in your neighborhood are standing by.

Just stepping into rings of mushrooms hoping the fae folk take me away.

My 80 year old dad rolled a golf cart leaving a beer fest. Went to the hospital with concussion. Has been in the hospital & phys. rehab for 3 weeks. Called him today. He said, “the catheter is out and I’m going to my cruise to Portugal. I asked “Mediterranean or across the Atlantic?” He hung up.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America... I don’t recommend watching it but in the first 10 minutes it establishes that Americans live in their cars because there is no more oil, the national debt is called due and the sitting administration is hung in office.

Hey, look, as one of the many people in this world allergic to animals: fuck you. Stop bringing your damn dog everywhere! If it barks when it's home alone, then it's your job to train it better and socialize it.

My boyfriend ordered a box, opened it, and left in on the floor for three days. I mentioned it this morning saying I don’t know what’s in it but when I moved it with my foot it was heavy so you might want to put whatever it is where you want it.

If congress refuses to do their job to remove him can they at least ban him from golfing until he can prove he is doing his job for the American people? (Lower prices, better jobs, no wars)

Dumbledore in “The Crimes According to Grindelwald”

8 milliom people protested across America with handmade signs because of high gas prices, high grocery prices and high unemployment. Also unchecked hubris of tearing down a third of the White House and putting his name on everything like a king. Republicans would rather lie that it was paid for.

The summer between junior high and school my mom sent me to an acting class. Several people knew eachother. I did not know anyone.

m.youtube.com/shorts/NgiO1... Kids. Always doing something.

Parents ask me (a librarian running a K-high school library) all the time if a book is appropriate for their kid and my answer is I don't know, what is your kid like? Every kid is at a different point in their developmental journey.

Tomorrow.

It’s not “love the sinner, hate the sin.” It is “support the oppresser hate the oppression”

Leading by example is often overlooked m.youtube.com/watch?v=U7s5...

This administration will send armed thugs into the streets to shoot protesters and immigrants but cannot be bothered to arrest alleged child molesters and rapists. Clearly not Christian behavior. One might think they are protecting each other because they are rapists of a feather.

As I watch my father struggle with dementia (similar to the dementia his father succumbed to) I see my future in 22 years. I wonder if it was the smoking which I chose not do or the genetics which I had no choice in. The depression is genetic but influenced by environment.

Great discussion of just that (and more) in this video from @techconnectify.bsky.social : bsky.app/profile/w1ts...

The national anthem is equivalent to singing happy birthday and any time it is performed outside of the 4th of July it is similar to a child just showing off.

As long as this administration is sending federal agents and troops into American cities to terrorize people I am not thanking any military personnel for their service. You want my thanks, fix this.

Update: I was not murder by I.C.E. today.

To be rude, the sitting president took out a full page ad to advocate for the death penalty of 5 people accused of assault. Where is that energy for ICE agents?

Republicans love the concept of “States rights” so the governor of Minnesota just needs to order law enforcement to remove ICE from the state. Republicans can not complain. It’s the right of the state to reject federal authority. That’s the song they were singing for healthcare.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

Thing is, if you take away the racism, homophobia, transphobia, jingoism, narcissism, mythomania, and the pedo thing…he’s still mind-blowingly stupid.

Every police department should begin arresting ICE agents as terrorists whenever they appear. If the police protect and serve their communities they should be arresting masked men with guns without hesitation.

Anything less than abolishing ICE is unacceptable. I don't want to hear people talk about training these motherfuckers or throwing more money at them. The entire institution needs to be permanently disbanded. Do not let politicians sell you on anything less.

Everyone should boycott the Olympics this year. Jesse Owens winning didn’t prove shit to Hitler and this fascist is unable to learn.

All ICE agents are domestic terrorists killing American citizens and the job of the American military is to stop then.

Philadelphia Sheriff Rochelle Bilal warns ICE: "No law enforcement professional wears a mask... Those that come into our communities wearing a mask to commit crime... You getting arrested". "Fake wannabe law enforcement... The criminal in the WH will not be able to keep you from going to jail".

You cannot vote your way out of government sponsored death squads.

When citizens are being shot in the street the elections will not be the solution people keep hyping. You cannot vote out your oppressors. That’s why we have a second amendment.

Sometimes he will beard nest but not every day as he did in the first two years. So much more independent in his middle age. (Sadly little parrots are 15 years ish, big parrots are 60 year friends. But so much louder)

Maple bar French toast. Get into day old delicious.

Heteronormative “straight” behavior doesn’t allow for joy. “Straight” enthusiasm is violence coded. Yells, punches, explosions. You understand.

Kroger is a billion dollar corporation asking the customers to purchase food for donation bins placed at the entrances. If Kroger wants to “end hunger” they can lower prices or donate food instead of throwing it away.

I wish someone would start a news network with no Trump news. It's very difficult to find out what is happening in the world without being bombarded with the buffoon's news.

Yeah it’s 4 hours. What else are you doing? m.youtube.com/watch?v=NyIg...

Every photo of ICE detaining someone is a bunch of dudes dressed for war violently taking down someone’s grandma or a restaurant worker. They cover their faces because they know how cowardly and disgusting they look.
