Days 8-10 of #WomenReads on #BookSky are together because I 💙 this trilogy so much. I love historical fiction & she really did her homework here. I enjoyed the story and how much I learned from it. 📚

Cutting food and healthcare for every day people & keep giving more to ICE. A lot of people have been out protesting ICE & that's great. What can you do? Glad you asked. More to come in my next comment. 🧵 #FiscalYear2026HomelandSecurityAppropriationsBill

Day #7 of #WomenReads is another who used a pseudonym to be taken seriously. It’s widely considered 1 of the best books of all time. 📚💙 #BookSky

Day 6 of #WomenReads is one of those books you see recommended by book clubs, so you have certain ideas & write it off in your mind. But I 💙 how it's written, & it's based on memories & accounts from the Tennessee Children’s Home Society operated by Georgia Tann from the 1920s to 1950. 📚 #BookSky

Day 5 of the #WomenReads challenge is SE Hinton. If you haven't heard of Outsiders, where have you been? If you are Gen X, you may not have even noticed she was a woman. Joanne was hardly the first to come up with it. It's a book, it's a movie. Stay gold. 💙📚 #BookSky

Man, I am so behind on the #WomenReads challenge right now. I hadn't even realized what day I was on. Four days ago. But here's a holiday banger you might not know about for my day 4: 📚 💙I do recommend it as part of your holiday rotation.

abcnews.go.com/US/ice-relat... it’s hard to admonish people to stay safe when the feds are trying so hard to escalate and cover for each other. But stay safe out there folks.

Today is the anniversary. Trump caused it. He relished it. He pardoned or commuted the sentences of everyone involved. He even gave millions of dollars to the family of a traitor who died while breaking the law and calling for more deaths. Never forget.

For day 3 of the #WomenReads challenge, I'm going to offend a whole bunch of people again & suggest this one. I have spoken about systemic racism here a lot & have tried pointing out things like how much harder it is statistically for black businesses to get loans, etc. & people get offended. 🧵1

This makes me sad but I appreciate him putting the wellbeing of MN politics ahead of personal ambition. He’s a good man and we need more like him in politics.

Happy Meme Monday, all.

For day 2 of the #WomenReads challenge, I'm taking it way back. I was very young when I read this, but it may be where I got my love of goats & mountains. It's a feel-good children's classic, but if you haven't yet read it, it's not too late. Probably. 💙📚

I'll bite. Today's book is one I just finished. First book of the year. Katabasis by RF Kuang. It's not as bloated as I'd heard. I thought it was written in an interesting way and I enjoyed some of the asides in there. A solid rec if you're into fantasy fiction. 💙📚 #WomenReads #BookChallenge

www.indy100.com/politics/tru... I think this one is too easy given his state of mental and physical decline, but ngl, I am holding onto any shred of hope going into the new year, lol.

I read well over 30 books this year. Some were great and some were okay and there will always be some that are so completely unforgettable I have to read t/synopsis to jog my memory. Here are my big standout recommendations in no particular order: 🧵📚#booksky

Let’s be clear- she did worse than nothing by trying to cover it all up. She has her job because she was willing to make this go away for Shitler and she’s willing to use red flag laws against gun owners who don’t support him.

Haven't recommended an Etsy shop in a minute. I got this today, though: www.etsy.com/listing/4389...

Bill Clinton releasing a statement saying 'release the Epstein files, you cowards' was not on my bingo list.

Happy meme Monday

It’s Meme Monday again.

The racist tirade against Somali Americans in my state was basically a racist excuse to allow ICE to abuse black people in my state. So fat their track record with actual dangerous people hasn’t been good. It’s a violent distraction from whatever he was up to for Epstein.

www.thebulwark.com/p/special-el... if you’re in TN ir know people in TN, please be sure everyone knows what’s at stake.

Happy Meme Monday and happy ConOld lost in court day, everyone! Curious if they’ll try again or move on to other distractions.

This level of trying to distract means he just remembered who Bubba is. 😄 Still, it should be treated with the serious response it deserves. They reacted far worse against people for not being Kirk fans.

I think it's hilarious that Massie out of KY wants to release the Epstein files and 47 considers that voting against the Republican party. Maybe he'd like to elaborate? Explain it to me like I'm 8.

Happy Meme Monday kids

Every single person involved in protecting him should also stand trial.

Okay, so at the risk of being THAT person, I think people are prematurely celebrating Obergefell. It's still not safe from these far right nutjobs on a stacked SCOTUS. What they ruled against was someone bringing something way too silly and beneath the court's importance. Stay vigilant, folks.

Raise your hand if you’re shocked some democrats caved? Yeah, me neither.

Last year I had a day off after the elections because I knew ahead of time I’d need it. This year I wish I had taken a day off again. Mama wants to stay home and BOOM scroll. Let’s keep pushing and working. We’re not there, yet.

Prop 50 officially passed in California. Pennsylvania Democrats won the Supreme Court election. Virginia has elected a Democrat as their first woman governor. I’m choked up and haven’t felt this hopeful in a solid year. We the people are getting our message across. Dude’s gonna pop another vein.

For anyone who might need this - feel free to share it with others. FoodFinder (search by zip code to get a map of local food banks). foodfinder.us Contact 211 (call 211 or text, chat, or search online for food pantries, free food delivery, or food cost assistance). www.211.org/get-help/foo... 🧵

My sweatshirt from www.etsy.com/listing/4373... KyraGifstCo arrived today. I'm going to rock it everywhere this winter.

He wants people so angry they will violently protest so he can declare martial law and cancel elections rule by fiat the end hungry populace will get violent

Lest anyone forget, if they were worried about criminal gangs from across the border, they'd be in places like Tuscon and Houston. JS....

www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c... your reps in Congress need to hear from you. Now. This bill will give churches the right to openly be political. I know some do it anyway, but we need to stop this officially.

So proud of my home. We're definitely not alone, people.

apnews.com/article/pent... done, folks. Welcome to the resistance.

www.wikihow.com/Escape-if-So... just going to leave this here for no particular reason 😉

www.msn.com/en-us/news/p... Yet another "We tried to warn you," and yet another instance of MAGA cheering on some crazy bullshit.

He was more than just a client. He was a partner.

So this is a little long but important to me & many others. I’m always going to support products made by people over AI. To the point that if all you post is AI, I don’t follow. theoatmeal.com/comics/ai_art Also, I just like the Oatmeal usually.

www.themirror.com/news/us-news... Wow how coincidental. Probably nothing to do with Miller’s comment about judges being insurrectionists seeing as how maga actually loves insurrections. If you know something please say something.

Zip tying kids is a horrible way to distract from the Epstein files. ConOld wasn’t just top client - he was a partner.
