This on loop. Soothing

On this (yet still) overcast and drizzly day, this came across my attention And, friends, this is not satire. This is a real person out there: a Mormon drag queen that calls herself Lady Maga based out of Salt Lake City, UT I can't explain exactly why, but it's like a ray of ☀️ just entered my soul

No notes

T minus :15 and feeling a little extra spicy today

I have canvas ready for the rally @ 2 pm HST. Colored markers. There's so much & I've had so many messages... Considering just putting "I don't know what to say any more" It's overwhelming, really Maybe "Redacted: *Black Bar* Is A Rapist" on the other side with a $ background "No Holy Wars"?

YESSSSSSSSS

Are Orcas not swamping yachts anymore? How do we tell them we love them? Is there a secret cub or something we can donate to? Being back Orca yacht swamping. We need this

Dark blue lambo w/ultra-tinted windows at the Kahului DMV today and my thoughts are: -The top speed limit is 55 on, like, maybe a couple miles of highway. Where you goin'? lol -Way too many ultra-wealthy folk with burner $ -I will totally slow-walk you until you stall given half a chance -Tiny penis

I could dash this chick into the jungle or leave it to nature, but I don't have it in me. The 2 hen Moms have moved on with their 3. I tried to give them this one twice and then listened to it cheep pathetically for hrs until couldn't take it anymore. So now I bought starter feed, chick in hand 1/

Anchor baby mama that wore an "I don't really care, do you" fit, here on an "Einstein visa" (exceptional skill, in this case looking good naked) walks out with a robot to replace teachers w/ AI and hardly anyone in MSM bats an eye. Epitomy of the direction this country is going

Another of the greats 😔 RIL

Funny thing happened, I got temp checks from my primary account bank today. I do everything online now, but for a couple of things & the one I wrote last week was the last one, not realizing. I bought a box of 250 over 20 yrs ago & need a voided check to order more. I had to ask how. It's funny

Want to be perfectly clear that I am way less concerned about the local gas prices, not that that isn't a thing that concerns me, but that people are getting blown up. Oil fields are getting blown up (that's an environmental concern), and that our country is more "the bad guys" than ever. This Sucks

Sat March 28! 2 - 6 pm Queen Ka'ahumanu Center to Maui Mall (in front of Whole Foods) and back (Boycott Iran War Profiteer Jeff Bezos! Boycott Whole Foods!), sign wave for ~45 mins, then walk directly back to QKC, where we will gather for our fabulous lineup of speakers and musical performances.

The thing is that the people who put him where he is, propped him up, and set him loose are also at a disadvantage b/c have you *seen* this guy?! Make no mistake, though, the long game isn't a total loss ... And we really need to stop it. Yesterday

It's like Xmas but better I'm so happy 🥹 Let the cleanup begin

It's been. a week. Flooding. Bombing overseas...the whole nightmare everywhere, not including my own. And boy have those been something. My Momma's 79th Bday is tomorrow and she is spending it with my 15 yr old, soon to be 16, niece who is apparently a drop out *sigh* So much potential.

Hitting way too close to home.

Soon Bob has haunted this man in life and now in death. Because karma has no expiration date. Choke on the irony when the time comes, you soulless, ghoulish, narcissistic pedophile. With pleasure 🥂

hehe😳

What key should this be in. Asking for a friend

Everyone needs to turn out for March 28. Whether it's ICE, FEMA, child-trafficking, patriarchy, war, oil, environmental, rich white guys, trans rights, voting rights... Whatever the cause closest to your heart and all of them Show. Up. And call your reps. Tell them what you want. Demand better

Out of all the world's issues that are bothering us, and all the personal things that are weighing heavily on me... My landlord, who is 6 mos older than I, saying "Hey, kid" as he scurries by is way higher on the list than I have the emotional capacity for rn. I can't. Stop already. 3 yrs & counting

ayup

*sigh*😔 Flood watch through Sunday afternoon Evacuation warnings for parts of Kihei, Lahaina, and Iao

O'ahu has had a hell of a last 24 hrs and looks quite like Maui is going to get walloped again, too. Batten down the hatches

10/10 No notes *Should def read the thread, tho. It's worth the time lol

Somebody smarter than me can probably answer this b/c nukes are once again front and center Are we Putin's proxy, is Netanyahu's Israel our proxy, is the US all the proxies, or are we all just ok with the threat of a nuclear war.

Another Kona Low incoming. Not the muddy adventure prepared for initially. But honestly, having the head of MEMA consult best practices on data collection is kinda....a thing. Much pressure. It's almost like my input means something. And I can support the community, so that's amazingly cool

The way people w/ even a semblance of integrity are dropping like flies should be an indication for how full of 💩 this administration is. But, NO, the die-hards gonna die-hard b/c it's harder to admit they were wrong than salvage whatever Integrity they had. And that's really sad

Finally had to fill up again. I topped off the day b4 Irangate (yay, me!) not knowing what the next day would bring @ $3.99 9/10 card-lock. It's @ $4.96 9/10. 👀 That's in 18 days. All over the MAGA-verse:

omg I just got called in again to do emergency response work & ok this sucks that this is happening for sure, but I get to get muddy & feel like I am supporting in a tangible way as opposed to just disseminating needed information from behind a computer screen. brb checking my waders for spiders

Manatee live cam viewing season has mostly come to an end, but the bald eagles are nesting everywhere & there's one now for Midway Atoll Laysan Albatross, which is cool. So anyway checked on some of my fave hummingbirds & it was 95 degrees fahrenheit in Oceanside, CA today. Oof

fb is still good for some things. Just knowing this beauty exists... Sadly, the OP did not feel compelled to swoop it up..but some lucky finder out there may have just had an amazing day. I'm so happy for them whoever they are

I am very troubled and had an unrestful night. I'll tell you why. 1. This storm. Lots of destruction all over Hawai'i Nei. In the grand scheme of things, the pets and I are ok, we're hunkered in & still have power. May have just jinxed but whatever 2. This war 🧵

No joke, I have confirmed that my sweet Momma thinks this Iran thing is the beginning of the End Times - welcomes it, encourages it, is completely on board with everything about what's happening also thinks I may be going to Hell. But I got baptized @ 8 so ?... I wondered But 🥹 Damn. That's shitty

Confirm: The cult really does think that this is the beginning of Armageddon. In unrelated news I just got off the phone with my Mom

Not just resign, be prosecuted for dereliction of duty.

There's Blood in the Water

Bunch of HI people get tomorrow off, coming home from normal work roads were pretty barren. Except Baldwin Beach & Ho'okipa which are basically parking lots Careful if needing to go through there, came around a turn and someone had their blinker on stopped in the Hwy like waiting for a parking stall

It didn't have to be like this 😔

Hey LinkedIn, I don't know what game you're playing but I have never once had an account and I would sincerely appreciate it if I stopped getting emails telling me what LinkedIn people are saying. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Neighbor has been tinkering on a Harley for the last several weeks, been listening to curses, failed attempts, & some really choice language I may have written down for future use. I know everything sucks, but it just roared to life... that man let out a primal scream that got my adrenaline rushing

Y'know that part in Django where Calvin says "..what's the point of having a slave that speaks German if you can't trot them out..."? I feel very much like that's how this country has felt about its military & this admin has been itching for this. The cult is lapping it up. Cognitive Dissonance

Batten down the hatches, my HI friends, we're about to get pummelled. Kauai is taking it right now. The air feels like hurricane weather. It's too still. It's too heavy. It has portent etched in the dark sky

See. Here's the thing. It's not that it failed, it's that it was introduced It's not that a sitting Senator is saying all Muslims need to be gone publicly and his party won't condemn it, it's that that is what they think It's not "war" it's a "pre-emptive strike against imminent (47 yr) threat" 👀

@stevijoe.bsky.social people are concerned about you
