Today, I ruined a restaurant worker's"whole day" by saying "I'm so sorry, it seems like your machine is out of this syrup, so there is no flavor, could I please have a Dr. Pepper instead." To be honest, I feel incredibly powerful if I can do that, when I begin with an apology and end with please.

Seeing a MAGA hat in Mexican restaurant this week made me want to throw my salsa in his face. You get the seasoning you voted for, a$$h0le.

I am asking my representatives, @murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov @emilyrandallwa.bsky.social, please boycott the state of the union, and consider a government shutdown. You need to use every tool available to you. They've fucked around, it's time for the finding out. #boycottstateoftheunion

Book 16 - Gone Wolf by Amber McBride. This book was intense, unique, and timely. I recommend it if you are in a good place emotionally. Lots of potential triggers here, though. However, I am really happy with this square for this book. 📚💙 #booksky #bookblanket2025

And on Mondays, we dress like Miss Frizzle.

The same kind of people who supported separate drinking fountains are angry there is a "separate" Black national anthem.

While the felon in chief has been attempting to erase anyone that's not a cishetwhiteman, seeing the American flag made from dancers that look like the ones who really built our nation took my breath away. Hell yes, more please.

Liz Cheney to JD Vance: "You don’t get to rage-quit the Republic just because you are losing. That’s tyranny." 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This week, I resisted by: Focusing on my health and recovery. Providing testimony for a state lawsuit against harmful EO's. Distributing food for the weekend to low-income/ homeless students at work. Facing my dental fears and asking for help advocating when panic set in. #todayiresistedby

Book 15: Sorcery and Small Magics. This one was a good place for my mind to rest. It has been a long couple of weeks. The characters were well rounded, and I liked the world the author built. #booksky 💙📚 #bookblanket2025 #sorceryandsmallmagics

The story of the manna rotting when you hoard it is an anticapitalist allegory, in this essay I will…

Grateful to be raising my family here. Thank you, @nickbrownnow.bsky.social

Surely I can't be the only one whose usage of the phrase "get fucked" has increased exponentially in the last two weeks.

Democrats, if you are not speaking out like this, if you are not showing up with this energy, if you are not going after them like Kendrick Lamar went after Drake, do not ask me for money.

If I hadn't read the line "then let us be menaces" hadn't when I really needed it today, @rebeccayarros.bsky.social and I would be in a fight. Cliffhanger so steep I thought pages were missing. Anyway, book 14: Onyx Storm. 📚💙 #booksky #bookblanket2025

I have been having terrible dreams for weeks, but last night I had a dream that someone abandoned a male runner duck and we named him "Peep Buttegeig" and that was a really nice change.

5 ways to celebrate #BlackHistoryMonth (cause the fed govt doesn’t run your house) 1. Find out what Sojourner Truth REALLY said 2. Buy a Black horror, scifi or fantasy book 3. Listen to “Naima” by John Coltrane 4. Send the victims of the LA fires in Altadena a few coins 5. Get a library card

Insomnia thought: Stellan Skarsgård has achieved the same Disney Trifecta (Disney, Star Wars, Marvel) as Ming-na Wen. Are there others? Help me, #disneyadults ! It occurs to me that if this hand an EGOT-like nickname, it could be the DSM, which is not as funny as I currently think it is.

Book 13: Yellowface by RF Kyang.💙📚 Either the timing was wrong, or the book isn't for me. Reminded me of how I felt reading Gatsby. I understand the message, but right now, I don't need more awful people on my mind, even fictional ones. #bookblanket2025 #crochet #booksky #books

The finale of America is a bigger shitshow than the finale of game of thrones.

This part. Right here.

Today I resisted by: 💛sharing contacts and scripts for important issues in the state and country to make it less intimidating to contact leaders. 💛resting to recover from an emergency appendectomy. 💛using library services, because circulation numbers matter to funding. ##todayiresistedby

"Spite cannot sustain you for the long haul", counterpoint: my ancestors are Irish

If you live in Washington state, please take a moment to express opposition to this anti-trans youth bill. We can't let Washington become a state that inserts itself in medical decision-making, and gender affirming care saves lives. #protecttransyouth #transrightsarehumanrights

Does having a vestigial organ removed make me more evolved now? See you in hell, appendix.

Deleting social media apps and having capitalist-hellscape-induced insomnia is really good for crossing books off the TBR. Books 11 and 12. 💙📚 #booksky #bookblanket2025 #reading #crochet #bookblanket

Book no. 10: The Witches of El Paso. 3⭐️ It wasn't bad, I just couldn't get invested. 📚💙 #booksky #bookblanket2025 #crochet

I am very unhappy about seeing all these businesses cutting DEI practices. But I swear, I hear my savings account grow each time they do.

Today, I resisted by: Delivering 65 bags of food to students so they have food over the weekend when school meals are unavailable. Supporting a small business when buying a birthday present. Connecting to share our abundance of seeds for my son's school garden. #todayiresistedby

Here is where ICE is at in great Seattle area. Pass it on

Given the DEI reporting hotline, the LGBTQ+ letter coming from the VA, and the ICE raids and God only knows what else, it feels like a really important time to remember...

The latest book, and the latest book blanket square. 📚💙 (this yarn was the closest I could find to the cover color.) #crochet #bookblanket225 #reading #booksky

If I got my birthright citizenship revoked, and deported, would it be faster and cheaper than the usual process of getting passports, visas, etc? Kidding, but I would still like to know.

You think us Teachers will give up or students to ICE? We practice monthly hiding our children from bad guys. Try us.

Asperger's isn't really a diagnosis anymore. It was deleted from the DSM in 2013, and now it's all under autism spectrum disorder. The ugly side of this is because Hans Asperger was a Yahtzee collaborator, who sent kids who were disabled to be unalived. An Asperger's dx meant you got to live. 1

The last two nights, I've woken up to an anxiety attack somewhere between three and four. This presidency better not turn me into one of those insufferable people that brags about being productive because they wake up so early.

Trump’s anti-trans Executive Order is bad BUT it technically defines everyone as female. It states: “'Female' means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell." Since all fetuses "at conception" are female, Trump just defined EVERYONE as female.

Barron really showed up to the inauguration cosplaying Patrick Bateman from American Psycho... looking more the part than Christian Bale did. (He's 18 and he campaigned, he's no longer off limits)

Please be extra kind to the void today, there’s a lot of people out there screaming and the lines aren’t the void’s fault
