Whoa 🤯

Trump isn’t the problem. He is the result of the problem: the racism, ignorance, and selfishness of many people in the United States.

New free cross stitch pattern in my Ko-Fi shop! See link in bio. Includes color and grayscale versions. (I liked how the orange "pops" in the grayscale!) Yes, the blood is orange. That's on purpose. You know why. Vive La Revolution! Stay strong, friends.

Feeling bloodthirsty? Me too. New free pattern incoming.

The number of progressives I encounter who either don't know or don't care there are active boycotts of multiple unethical companies astounds me constantly. We are going to lose this war based on people's apathy alone.

No money for pediatric cancer research but there's $1.7 billion for people who beat cops and smeared feces on the walls of the US Capitol.

Big day for criminals to get a windfall payout from taxpayer dollars so they can retire early and put their feet up after beating cops and smashing windows to storm the Capitol - orchestrated by Republicans. A transfer of money from hardworking law-abiding citizens to scum.

BREAKING: Minnesota has INDICTED ICE officer Christian Castro in the non-fatal shooting of Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis. 4 counts of assault & 1 count of lying. This is the SECOND ICE officer charged by the Hennepin County DA. No charges yet for the murders of Good and Pretti. www.pbs.org/newshour/nat...

The President of the United States is demented, perverted, incompetent, and a threat to democracy.

Strangely, the chains smokers living below me have been smoking outside less after I started regularly dumping buckets of water onto my deck so that it dripped through the boards and drenched their deck where they would routinely sit and smoke.

People smoking fills me with such immediate rage. Deciding to literally poison everyone around you without their consent is a kind of 🍇.

Watching shipping just keep going up like

My furbabies being adorable while I cross stitch. *makes unintelligible cuteness aggression noises*

Just the wish of every decent person right now. Pattern available in the shop. Link in bio.

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today. We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.

Am I designing a Halloween SAL?

I rarely feel as supported as when I lay down for a nap and my cats lay down for a nap with me like this is the best idea I've ever had.

Can we just go ahead and claim billionaires as dependants on our taxes?

Slow start to the new design 😆

I've been no contact with my immediate family since Feb 2025 because they're in the Trump cult. They've made zero attempt to reach out to me since. A few weeks ago my aunt (my mom's sister) - who is absolutely not a trumper - was talking to my mom on the phone and asked her if she...

Evac areas lifted. Fire has been contained. Imma go lay on the floor and let my heart rate come down a bit. It's only April.

Wildfire just west of town broke out late this afternoon. The mandatory evacuation zone is about 1.5 miles away. Voluntary zone is 0.5 miles away. I'm not in an evac zone yet but I got me and the cats ready just in case.

GOP - *gerrymanders* DEMS - hey stop that no fair GOP - *gerrymanders even more* DEMS - we mean it we’re gonna sue SCOTUS - *legalizes gerrymandering completely* DEMS - *start gerrymandering* GOP - HEY STOP THAT NO FAIR!!!! 😭

I never entirely knew what I wanted to be when I grew up. Turns out I wanted a regulated nervous system.
