I updated my Threadless shop that I made all of $13 on in the past two years. I make these goofy things just to keep from doomscrolling I guess and there are a few new / updated graphics sidecarwithjencoleslaw.threadless.com I updated the No Kings graphic for the March 28 march, too.

Oh also my other socials timeline has been losing its shit because you need ID and a social security card to register to be a (paid) NYC snow shoveler and how come you don't need that to vote God damn it!!!11! I am so fucking sick of willfully stupid people.

Snow ❄️ day tomorrow!

I really didn't care who wins because some of my favorite players are Canadian so I'd be happy if they won. I just like how competitive the games are. But, I really hate the literally wrapping of selves in the flag, especially in this economy. I'll be glad when NHL starts back up again for Hockey.

Why are they all so hapless? Walking in with a rifle and a gas can? Come on.

I NEED A XANAX THE SIZE OF A CHEESECAKE

THIS HOCKEY GAME IS GIVING ME PALPITATIONS.

#Dogsky Request: Could you please vote for this UK-based dog rescue group that I support? It's Double Votes Weekend; they'll get a financial grant if they finish within the Top 10, and they need every boost they can get! 🙏 mygivingcircle.org/second-chanc...

Mike Johnson is a fucking bootlicker. That he thinks he is a good Christian who will go to heaven is laughable.

How is it allowed that both teams are wearing blue, red and white on the ice? This is bonkers.

LOOK WHO IT IS, YOU GUYS! It's SISTER HELEN!!!!

This is Ladybug 🐞 (RIP) who pawed at my boob, dislodging a deep tumor, allowing my cancer to be found relatively early in December 2020. I finish treatment (dog willingly) in May. She came to all my urgent care appointments and waited in the car.

this might be the thing that finally kicks me off Facebook-having to actually have facebook up and running in order to use messenger on the computer. The way the algo pushes shit that I absolutely do not want to see is criminal.

Just a heads up. If my house blows up or I am somehow missing in action- Blame Blueberry. He has been a MENACE the last few days. A MENACE

That Antonia Hylton and Rev Al Sharpton's conversation about Rev Jesse Jackson on @allinwithchris.bsky.social was really really great.

The Pentagon just failed its 8th consecutive audit and still got approved for a $1 TRILLION budget without blinking so I'm gonna need every corrupt hypocritical politician complaining about made up food stamp fraud and forcing drug tests and work requirements on poor people to shut up forever. Thx.

I am watching the Virginia Senate and man, the minority party sure likes to lick those jackboots. I mean, we're used to them debating in bad faith which is of course, happening. We need more Points of Order in this body to set records straight.

I need to tell you that Pop Tarts now come in a high protein flavor that also seems to have less total sugar (not by much.) I haven't tried them yet although we did get strawberry frosted, and blueberry frosted to try. Brown sugar was also an option (which I did not get) Will report back.

Oh man, Senator Adam Ebbin's goodbye speech on the senate floor is really the most lovely. He is leaving the senate to take a position in the Spanberger administration and we'll miss him in the legislature! Good luck with your new gig, @adamebbin.bsky.social

A poem about Presidents Day for @runinthesnow.bsky.social from Murder Kitten

Omg it is not a mystery what is behind the rise in mental illness in young people. I swear to god if I see another Is it social media? Is it covid? Climate change? I mean sure, but babe, it’s late-stage capitalism

BTW I wanted to let everyone know that now that Valentines Day is over it is now Brach's Jelly Bean Season. I have taken a shine to the "Tiny" ones in case anyone was wondering.

We got one donation for a Presidents Day poem from Murder Kitten and this is for you, Kate!

Right after I posed that Murder Kitten would write Presidents Day poems, we got a donation via venmo but I don't know who it is from (no Bluesky handle) so let me know so I can tag you!

If you missed this and are disappointed, Murder Kitten (and maybe someone else) will write Presidents' Day Poems* until end of Day on Monday, for a donation to A Little Extra alittleextrafund.org *they will be rude

Is it irony, coincidence or sinister that this ring flood light looks just like a uterus?

Excuse me a sec. Moving to Maine just so I can vote against this reckless feckless cunt.

A Poem From The Smartest Cat in the House--Clown Shoes, on the Occasion of Valentines Day, for his favorite friend @pghkate.bsky.social

Happy Valentines Day- Last Call for donation poems!

Clarification: Majority Leader Scott Surovell said on the floor of the Virginia Senate that a new gaming bill specifies a Fairfax County venue “has to be part of a convention center." The new bill language does not mention a convention center.

A Valentines Love Poem of all the fun things they'd do if she visited, from all the pets at Coleslaw House for @samanthakm.bsky.social

A Valentines Dinner Love Poem about Dinner for @genabarn.bsky.social from Waffles

A Fuzzy Yellow Love Poem for @drdogma.bsky.social From Rufus Russo Rojas-Tennis Ball is Life

A Love Poem from Blueberry to @kcbrownie.bsky.social

This Fairfax Co Casino boondoggle is going to make me lose my freaking mind. No one wants it, except two senators, and a bunch of rural Rs who know they will benefit because of the revenue sharing. BTW the site for it is a watershed we monitor, and it is a beautiful, restored spot full of wildlife.

PS, there's no minimum donation for a poem. I am not sure how much joy it brings me to do these silly poems (so many of you met me because of my @weratedogs.com adjacent poetry on Twitter so many years ago) The world is a hard and sad and woeful place-but I love you all so much.

We are almost halfway to our Little Extra Love Letters goal of $1000! but a few folks who donated didn't request a poem so please do so (if you want!!) in this thread so I don't lose track!! @samanthakm.bsky.social @genabarn.bsky.social alittleextrafund.org

A Valentine Poem of Things That Scare Me, for @mackaracka.bsky.social from Waffles

A love letter to @jeneye127.bsky.social from Waffles, Anxious Beagle

Rufus got a request for a poem from everyone's favorite bestie, with a very specific theme. See if you can guess it. Delicate sensibilities need not read.

OMG YOU GUYS!!!!! I just saw a bill get reported out of committee that would make Menopause a protected accomodation at workplaces with 5 or more employees. Thank you @kathykltran.bsky.social I know you don't post over here much, but maybe someone can tell her I love her.

Well, let me tell you, the Wegman's was very disorienting today. I don't know if it was me, or if they moved a bunch of stuff around, or if it was all the Valentines stuff, but I really wanted to get out of there ASAP. So dog yogurt, sumo citrus, banana, human yogurt, eggs, meringue powder, cards.

I went to the grocery store today and I did not get anything that wasn't on my list and that wasn't necessary. Please clap.

Ok @kazurcher.bsky.social Sister Helen wrote you a Valentine Love Poem!

I gotta go to the office today but man, there's some great knitwear at the winter olympics. Easily one of the best things about winter games.

Before I fall asleep I just wanted to let you know that I am more than happy to take over from Gallup and continue to rate the presidents' approval rating. I'll make a logo after Valentine's Day.

If I go radio silent it is because I fell asleep. I haven't been sleeping well with Ben away and last night there was a skunk outside and I even DREAMT of skunks it was so strong. So I'll get back on track with Valentine Love Poems tomorrow midday when I get home from the office & then I'm all yours

OK, Here you go! A Valentine Love Poem from Rufus!

So today was an really frustrating, barely productive day. So to counter it, I'm going to try to raise some money ($1000) and spirits! If you make a donation to A Little Extra between now and Valentines Day, you can pick the pet who will write you a love poem. alittleextrafund.org

Remember when there was a move by the administration to stop testing for COVID so there would be fewer positive COVID tests? Yeah, just like that.
