me flirting

Thinking about 9 years ago when I was a token artist at WEF Davos and I went around attending high level panels on things I didn’t know about. I particularly remember the one where an academic laid out how AI would eat jobs and UBI would be necessary to avoid civil unrest.

This with bells on

Wishing a great weekend to everyone except for the Mad King in the White House and his Flunkies.

Remembering Leonard Cohen, who left us #OTD 2016.

Did you know that you can burn soup?

Did you know that the GOP Congress has worked less than 20 days since July? Yet we’re still paying their full salary.

Every new exciting development in cancer vaccine research depresses me anew. Not because my wife didn’t survive long enough to benefit from it, but because the administration is dismantling the systems of caring for each other as a society (which includes boomed research)

How nice to wake up to some good news. It’s a bluetiful day 💙

Happy Full Beaver Moon! 🦫🌝

It’s been a while since I hopescrolled

[Exit Clown.]

"We found ourselves rallying around a common theme: 'Perhaps we really are Canadian in the best way.' Friendly. Apologetic. Slightly baffled. And above all, subtly smug: “Look at us, staying respectful while watching those American political fireworks explode all over the world?”

Smell the onions #nocontextskeet

Vote vote vote!

I don’t want to say I’m crossing my fingers for Mamdani, because I crossed my fingers for the Jays and look what happened

If an additional $15,000 in health insurance premiums (my increase for 2026) were framed as a $15,000 tax increase, I think there would be a revolution

WTF Montreal

The goal of trolls who lie, attack and shitpost is to obfuscate the truth and bully you into silence. Keep sharing. Keep caring.

Hapmeow Halloween

The autotypos are hilarious right now with my iphone changing correct words to incorrect ones. Just now it changed “studio” to “airship”. You can find me in my airship today.

Huge thank you to the comedians, musicians, artists and writers who are just as mad and bewildered as the rest of us but are still doing their best to make life worth living for everyone.

“Steal This Story, Please!” follows journalist Amy Goodman as she takes on soldiers, politicians and corporate media in a fearless pursuit of the truth. It’s won audience choice for best doc at all 4 festivals it’s gone to so far. Next up is St Louis & then DOC NYC. Orig score by me 😊. Go see it!

If you’re looking for all of your tea cups and mugs, they are in my studio, again. Sorry about this.

Two vampires that are not Dracula

I also posted this photo of my ACA premiums for next year on Threads. I had to spend an hour yesterday deleting and blocking comments from MAGA trolls saying I am a liar, a libtard, a freeloader, a single mom lowlife, should get a real job, etc etc.

Felt cute. Might delete later

Just opened the letter stating the premiums for our high deductible bronze plan in 2026. Hahahahahahahaha

It is not a coincidence that Trump razed the part of the White House where so much history has been made by and for women.

This week’s news has me thinking about the subterranean ruins of Nero’s Golden House, the Domus Aurea, that we visited this past March.

Every day is #caturday

Democrats should just start rolling out ad after ad of Reagan voiceovers.

“Comet 3I/ATLAS Losing At Least Two Kangaroos' Worth Of Dust Every Second” I estimate that’s approximately half a giraffe?

wait did ronald reagan just say go blue jays

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Artists, writers, dancers, game developers, etc… making your thing while listening to my thing makes me so, so very much incredibly big happy ❤️

I would be a rubbish president but not as rubbish as the dumpster fire full of rubbish in the White House right now

I think this part of the White House is gone now? The East Entrance in 2016. Giant Bo is definitely gone.

Is destruction of government property a felony? Asking for 340 million of my American friends.

Never saw this coming but years of little league parenting have turned me into a casual baseball fan. We saw the Jays vs Dodgers in Toronto last year and I noted how a chunk of Jays fans cheered wildly for Ohtani’s home runs, as did we. It would be so satisfying right now for Canada to win.

Oh my gawd burnt caramel hazelnuts from Recchiuti Chocolates in San Francisco holy sweet jeezeus

9 years ago, just weeks before the Nov 2016 election

I deleted the photo of the letter from the grandfathered pre-ACA plan that denied treatment for my late husbands cancer that I posted on Twitter so a news crew came to our house and I started blogging and Obama invited me to speak with him…because I didn’t think we needed that shit any more

Gathering with my neighbors and friends to march downtown brought so much warm fuzzy community feeling. Also, wearing a unicorn costume makes dancing hilarious and means lots of high fives with littles. Burlington VT #NoKings, 10 out of 10 stars

Resistance is not futile

If Shohei Ohtani can hit three home runs while pitching six shutout innings, you can spend a couple of hours marching for democracy.

No, I will not be rating the toilet brush I just purchased or my shopping experience
