Senator Chris Murphy asked us to post this statement to your public walls if you can do so without risking your jobs or safety.

The list of words banned by Trump's government is growing and includes: autism aviation fuel Black Covid-19 diesel elderly electric vehicle female females green H5N1/bird flu mental health opioids peanut allergies political trauma vaccines woman women pen.org/banned-words...

So my husband and I own a small company in PA. Our suppliers have factories around the world. Today we got a call from a supplier, breaking the news to us that our last container of inventory from the China factory now has a balance due from the tariffs. $24,000 additional, tacked on to ONE order.

Donald Trump has made himself—and by extension, us—the laughing stock of the world.

Just got home from a trip to Bermuda. I’m sad to admit how “light” I felt being in another country, surrounded by friendly people who were happy to see Americans, and how I felt a bit sad coming back into NY, knowing the atmosphere here in the US was still dark & politically divided.

A bright spot in the midst of all the negativity this week: the geese are heading north (to Canada, where many of us wish we could go right now, coincidentally), and spring is definitely in the air in NEPA!!

This sign makes me smile every time I pass it, even if it’s a little bittersweet right now…

FYI

DEI explained

Serious question here… why should anyone pay federal taxes if the new “government” is dismantling all of the departments and programs that our tax dollars fund? I sure as hell am not donating my hard-earned money to the criminals’ personal slush fund.

Celebrating Black History Month....

Happy Black History Month, and yeah, we're still doing that.

Is someone checking on the FAA staff that WERE on duty when the crash happened? I hope they aren’t feeling guilt for what happened when it was not their fault that their crew was down-sized beyond what was reasonable for the conditions. That job has to be immensely stressful, even on a normal day!

Yes, this!

Always the cleanup crew. 🤦🏻‍♂️

The Felon & Elon: May they be miserable for the rest of their lives

True 😂😂

Bwahaha!These assholes on my way to work have this giant Trump/Vance billboard on their property that they’ve STILL not taken down. Today I was delighted to see someone had added white spray paint over it… and then I laughed hysterically when I got closer and could read what they’d painted: MUSK!!!

Well would you look at that.

Our Griffin with all the toys his Grandma brought him and his brothers for Christmas. Of course the smart German stole them from the labs after they fell asleep! Lol!

Finally catching up here, and just followed back about 1K of you lovely people!

In these times of uncertainty and angst, friends and family become even more important to our peace and sanity. I’m super grateful for mine, as well as all of you and everything you offer of yourselves each day.

Because he’s my special boy

Hello and happy holidays from Smoky, who came from the Smoky Mtns of TN, but is now residing with us here in the Pocono Mtns of PA!

Who Agrees ✋️?? @candybones.bsky.social @mateopotato.bsky.social @kanelawless420.bsky.social @cockmagic.bsky.social @thisdudeabides.bsky.social @thedudeabides.shop @alycat637.bsky.social @southernwitch.bsky.social @birdie56.bsky.social @nugent578.bsky.social @ghostbear077.bsky.social @hv4.bsky.social

Our Christmas tree ❤️ It may not rival the ones you see in magazines, but nearly every ornament has a special place in my heart. Gifts from my students over 24 years of teaching 6th grade, gifts from my Aunt Pat who passed away in 2023, souvenirs from vacations we’ve taken,…so many memories!

The number of people murderered in public mass shootings in 2024 to date has declined from last year by 89%. Not a typo. More here: washingtonmonthly.com/2024/12/12/2...

Hey Republicans: We’re not going to be intimidated, we’re going to fight for our rights! You can count on it. FAFO. Sincerely, American Patriots

Polish PM Tusk & Macron mocking Trump’s ridiculous attempt to act tough while arm wrestling Macron during their handshake.

Ohhhh myyyy Gaawwwd! Stupid people make me crazy! Just now at the grocery store checkout I overheard the tail end of a conversation…older lady saying emphatically to cashier, “ Donald Trump better come through for us, girl! I’m just a poor old white lady and can’t afford this!” 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Good morning from Larry (who’s always got to be all up in my business) 😁🐶

Maybe it’s just me, but corrupt billionaires shouldn’t dictate how much social security should be cut from people’s livelihoods.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate all of the white, straight, middle class men on here who are standing up for the rights and safety of ALL the other groups in this country right now, even though their own foreseeable future is likely pretty secure, relatively speaking?

Those big companies won’t even miss you if you buy elsewhere. You are just a number to them. To a small business, though, you mean the world. Please support small businesses this holiday season, and all year long. www.forzasports.com

If anyone would be so kind as to leave our small business a Google Review, it would be much appreciated! We sell on lots of marketplaces but are trying to build up our own website so we aren’t subject to marketplace fees & rules. Here’s a link if you have a Google account: g.page/r/CU2NiwLE1X...

This is Oliver. He has really bad allergies, so he spends most days wearing a donut to avoid scratching/licking/chewing. We switch up his donut wardrobe to keep it interesting. Today’s addition is definitely my favorite! Yeehaw!

So Elonia doesn’t want us to call his deflated platform “Twitter” anymore, huh? How about Qwitter instead?

Anyone else getting antsy about SCOTUS yet, and what another 4 yrs of dipshit will mean if Sonia Sotomayor doesn’t retire before President Biden leaves office? Is there any talk of movement here, or are we going to end up with 3 more awful choices shoved down our throats?

Please send some good vibes to our boy, Larry. He’s been at the emergency vet all day with some sort of stomach/pylorus blockage. Ultrasound up next. He’s such a sweet boy. I just want him to feel better. ❤️
