HAM and good riddance and can we throw out turkey, too? Little two-fer deal?

We are here. We made it. My sisters and I at desert hot springs 🥹

Well today was a day to be online. Heading to the desert tomorrow to bleach my brain.

you have the dancing plague bleeding feet, won’t see middle age dancing plague reasons for it are still opaque oh yeah

I almost posted something about what I plan to be doing 24 hours from now…but I really really don’t want to curse it. I need this weekend to happen

Sorry guys universe is splitting open starting today

Well. Finished the body of a sweater. Waiting on a contrasting color yarn to start the sleeves…ngl though I’m pretty tempted to just sew together the body and pick up stitches for sleeves and just knit top to bottom instead of the nightmare of seaming the pattern wants me to do

The one laugh react is one of my Orthodox friends 😆

Someone is jealous of my attention

Never forget that just a week ago, Ross Douthat and the NYTimes were asking if women ruined the workplace.

Currently intermission at a local high school production of A Christmas Carol with my son. Both of us swear during the scene where young Ebenezer’s fiancé dumps him, the music they played was a slowed down instrumental version of George Michael’s “Last Christmas.”

Bought tickets to see Gaby Moreno in LA this December because I will never pass up an opportunity to see her live, ever. She’s amazing.

Shoutout to the lone guy standing on the corner of Kersting Court in Sierra Madre in the middle of a flash flood warning with an anti-trump sign.

Yeah, I think this is an important point to keep in mind with the right wingers who are all in on Epstein - they’re in because they think it’s proof that Jewish pedophiles run the world, and you absolutely do not gotta hand it to them for that

Here’s a kitten in a box that’s too small for him if anyone needs it.

BREAKING: In AAUP et al v. Trump (wall-to-wall union lawsuit challenging the administration’s unlawful use of TItle VI to reshape the University of California system), the faculty and staff of the UC system WON!!! We were granted our preliminary injunction! @aaup.org

Double rainbow in the San Gabriel Valley this afternoon.

So I’m listening to the Catechism in a Year, and this is just, like…what’s in there. Dignity of the human being, thou shalt not steal, stewardship of God’s creation, etc etc. Does everyone follow this all the time? lol no. But it’s in there

I’ve made a terrible discovery on my kitten’s neck. 😭

Was real on the fence this morning about going to the gym, but this is what I saw when I finished. Also like 2 dudes next to me with their cameras out

Someone on fb posted aurora pics from Altadena. Well…the mountains above Altadena

I heard they were visible this far south but 1) LA light pollution 2) clouds 3) I have to work tomorrow so no driving But I didn’t touch the saturation on this picture from the apartment…is that a little pink there behind the clouds, just above the mountains?

‼️‼️‼️

I hear the aurora is visible just outside of Denver?

Oh. Ok. Well if the republicans said no, then I guess there isn’t any recourse besides just giving up. Maybe they’ll let democrats talk about what they wish for later if they behave well enough. As a lil treat.

Good on them

About to sound extremely Southern Californian right now but I’m so stoked it’s almond nog season

Isn’t…isn’t the subsidy giving the money directly to the people? To buy…a policy..?

Took the train downtown to see my brother who came into town. I’m never driving to LA again that was superb.

That last line

Thei wante us talkinge alone on our phones to a demon thei created, and not goinge places and being wyth each othir yn art and joy and communitye. Thei want cinemas to shut downe, and Broadway to go darke. Thei want wryteres to stop makinge a living. Thei want to sell us hell and have us pay for it.

So today I had a lesson about mistakes, how we learn from them, and students were supposed to use some assignment where they had made a mistake and, well…learn from it. Well. My students claimed they didn’t have anything with them that had any mistakes. 🤨

There are more of us than there are of them.

“Taken together, the results amount to a resounding rejection of the notion that Democrats must soften—or stay silent—on LGBTQ+ rights to win.”

Hey so um I know we’re all about NYC and Mamdani’s amazing speech… …but I just need to know if McClintock is going to lose his house seat in the prop 50 shakeup.

Please, every time you hear excited and frankly earned praise for Newsom's gutsy move in creating Prop 50 out of whole cloth, PLEASE: Remember this ⬇️

If we learn nothing else tonight, please PLEASE let's learn that the American people were NOT won over by an absolute firehose of the most vile dehumanization of trans people. Please @democrats.org, for the love of God and all that's holy, let's FINALLY start refusing to throw ANYone under ANY bus.

I’ve already seen the takes that tomorrow the regime will double down on voter suppression, gerrymandering, intimidation, etc. You know. The same tactics that got people this worked up. But more. I think we’ve got more in us, too. It’ll only hurt them if we can remember this.

Is there no limit to the good news today variety.com/2025/film/ne...

LMAO

Ok it’s 8:01 what’s up with prop 50

BREAKING: Colorado voters approved a ballot measure that would raise state income taxes on higher-earning households to fund free meals for all public school students. Follow AP for live updates.

this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028

Soviet republic of New York takes first key step towards total communism by publicly owning Andrew Cuomo

17 minutes. Also literally everyone I talked to at work today voted. There was a line to drop off my ballot at 6:30 this evening. I’m curious to see the turnout numbers.

Above all what I hope people take from this is you’re not alone in what you think or feel about the current state of things. Corporate news and tech bros who own social media can print whatever spin they want but you’re not alone. There are so many others just as fed up, just as fired up as you.

Thor says if you’re in California you still have 55 minutes to turn your ballot in.

I want to be the person who gets up at 5 and goes to the gym before work, but instead I’m the person who wakes up at 5 and scrolls until it doesn’t seem worth it to get all the way over to the gym because there won’t really be enough time to accomplish what I want so maybe I’ll just go after work

NOOOOOOOOOO
