Happy National Library Week! 💙📚

So long dad. I can never repay you for the things you taught me and for sharing your love of music. Rest easy….

Ossoff: "You were talking earlier about Jared Kushner. The guy leading our diplomacy in the Middle East is bringing in billions from Middle Eastern princes and sheiks and going around the region asking for billions more while he conducts nuclear diplomacy on behalf of the country. It's obscene."

This pic came up in my memories today, As a closeted teen I never could have imagined the life I live now. 28 years with my husband and still going strong. ❤️❤️❤️

Impeachment, not the 25th. He is unfit for office, but his problems now are because he has surrounded himself with enablers and thinks he has no restrictions or consequences.

Having a grilled cheese sandwich. The sun just came out. Listening to jazz on the AirPods. And BOOM, now I have tears in my eyes for no discernible reason. I miss my dad. It's been two months. This is what everyone talks about: grief being a glitter bomb that just goes off, huh.

If you’re in Virginia, for the sake of everything that matters to the rest of the civilized world, please get out today and vote yes on the constitutional amendment

Perhaps the #GOP finally figured out that #SAVE would shut far more of its #women #voters out of #voting than #Democratic women. Statistically #Dem women are less likely to be married and far less likely to change their surname when they marry. Back to the drawing board on how to shut women up.

Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.

BREAKING: 86% of all people support the release of the Epstein files, per WaPo poll.

Prince passed away 10 years ago today. RIP, your music lives on.

I pronounce the argument that Americans need guns to protect us from a tyrannical government officially dead. Kaput. We're living under a tyrannical government and the only people suffering from gun violence are innocent children and civilians. No one's using them against this government.

I went to the library to get a book on conspiracies but they didn't have any. Coincidence? I don't think so!

We aim to #BanALLBans on activities that are not proven to harm others with an amendment to the U.S. #Constitution. Building on the 21st amendment which banned our government from banning alcohol, we can knock down #book bans, #abortion bans, #marriage bans, #healthcare bans everywhere all at once.

The DOJ is now 5 month in breach of releasing the Epstein files. Holding these criminals accountable should be the Nuremberg of our time.

The Brits appear ready to shame the US news media into covering this, distracted as they are by gazing at their own navels ...

The true patriots.

Domestic violence is a prevalent and many times preventable problem in our society! However, it’s like women’s health and equality in the workplace, until we stop allowing law enforcement, politics and the medical profession to be male dominated these tragedies will continue to happen!

This doggo was adopted at the age of 18, after 17 years of living in a shelter, to at least experience the warmth and love of a family. And now, he just turned 21! Happy birthday, baby! ♥️ Original post

You might remember that terrible time when my friend had a car accident on Feb 18 (that killed his partner). He was flown by chopper to the RAH and spent 9 days in a coma. Didn't think he would survive. But he did! And he will be released from hospital tomorrow. Doctors are bloody miracle workers!

Happy 89th Birthday George Takei! George Takei, born on April 20, 1937, in Los Angeles, California, is an actor, activist, and social media phenomenon who has lived one of the most remarkable lives in American entertainment. As a child, Takei and his family were forcibly relocated to Japanese...

Folks if I sell 40+ million books and am still reading and internalizing bad reviews instead of living my best life, please stage an intervention.

Is this why we went to WAR??? #Iran #Epstein #EpsteinFiles

It's Day 19 of getting past negativity by posting some things that bring me joy. ☀️ I absolutely love light, and the sun, and the amazing things it does. The way the sun paints the sky with colors during sunset is so beautiful and magical, I am obsessed every time! 🌅

A reminder:

Every time I read an academic who has interesting things to say on issues of morality, and whom I might quote, I have to search them to see if they've been forced to resign because of harassment, sexual misconduct, or similar. That's twice now.

It's official: The House has sworn in Democratic Rep. Analilia Mejia.

The corruption is just stunning. www.thedailybeast.com/chief-justic...

Oh, Dad is pissed. And I get that anger. Traitor Trump is the biggest threat to democracy and world peace that we've ever seen in America.

Met this man on OKCupid in 2011, spent the next six months visiting each other in our respective countries and then on April 20, 2012--I drove 31 hours straight to pick him up so we could start our life together. Today is our 14th anniversary. 🥰

Today I turn 89. I’ve seen this country at its best and its worst, and I know how much community matters. For my birthday, I’m asking you to stand with PFLAG and support the work that’s helped so many in the LGBTQ+ community, including me. give.pflag.org/page/95493/d...

Rich women have always had and always will have access to safe abortions. #Abortion #bans are for poor #women only. We aim to #BanAllBans on activities not proven to harm others. Bans are the tools of #billionaires who pay politicians to pass culture war bans that divide us in order to rob us.

LOL! This woman is a genius! In the parody of democracy that Germany has become, you get arrested if you say "From the River to the Sea." So this pro-Palestine protester asks if it is ok to say "From the River to the Beach" 😂😂😂😂 This is a scene straight out of Kafka...

to be genuine for a moment, working for the onion in this era has been one of the greatest experiences of my life so far. good things will continue to come

Trump is the most hated person in the world since Hitler.

PSA: For those of you who need to vote via absentee ballot I suggest dropping it off at the nearest county clerk rather than trust the postal service this year.. I heard there's shenanigans going on with that..

A leaf fluttered in through the window this morning, as if supported by the rays of the sun, a bird settled on the fire escape, joy in the task of coffee, joy accompanied me as I walked. - Anaïs Nin
