Nothing better than getting going on the day, and then having everything suddenly explode into rainbow vision and having to last minute call into work and lay in bed for a who knows how long amount of time. Ughhhh. Migraines and auras are the worstttt.

The orange one is extremely comfy right now 🧡😂🥰

Been sick with something for a couple days. Lots of really random symptoms. Just had a bout of vertigo with the walls spinning, so laying down. At least I have this guy on nursing duty!

You know what? I don’t like if the email about Trump giving “Bubba” a BJ makes more people react with disgust to the felon’s crimes than all the blatant pedophilia and child rape. I just don’t. It gives homophobia and the idea that child rape is “less gross than the gays.”

Across the country, voters support many of Zohran Mamdani's ideas, including: -Increasing taxes on the rich -Universal childcare -Freezing rent -Raising the minimum wage Everything Democrats do must focus on enacting popular policies that help working people. That is the path forward.

As someone who has been struggling with infertility for a few years now and is actively working on treating it…ew. Ew. Ew ew ew ew. This is magnitudes worse than the term “Covid babies.”

Winter is coming. The little one now spends her nights cuddled up to me under the covers 🥰 Sometimes she’ll sleep under the covers and just have her wee little face sticking out, it’s so cute.

Well. Going through some things. And it’s not fun. Like. *Really* not fun. Ugh. 🥲🫠

BREAKING: PROP 50 HAS PASSED IN CALIFORNIA

This is the president of the United States taking a break from gold-and-marble interior renovations to say he’ll defy a court order to feed hungry Americans. Nero would be proud.

Republicans are trying to kill the Affordable Care Act. (And if you die as well, so be it, they don’t give a damn!)

“A Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever.” -John Adams People should sit with this. Because the warning wasn’t about kings in 1776. It is about us, and what happens when we decide one man is above the law.

Obama: "The weird videos of a US president with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet & dumping poop on American citizens - that's not even worth booing about. Because all of that is a distraction from the fact that your situation, your life has not gotten better. They do it so you won't notice"

WHY ARE PEOPLE SHOOTING FIREWORKS HALLOWEEN FIREWORKS ARE NOT A THING

Every church should be doing this, and if your church isn’t, you’re at the wrong church.

Tolkien, who was vehemently opposed to fascism, Nazism and apartheid, would be appalled that his words were being twisted to endorse them.

California – this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50. California’s Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, we’re going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections. Make a plan to vote yes on Prop 50.

Really trying hard to remember the story of the sea stars on the beach in these times. "It made a difference to that one." This. ❤️ How can we combat so much evil? How can our food bank donations possibly feed so many? Etc? Hush those thoughts. Go make a difference to at least one person.

Get offline for a day. Create something. I'm serious. You cannot endure our current reality in ANY timeline if you are constantly scraping your raw nerves across the jagged edges of the evil that people do. You need tangible, embodied reminders that we endure through hope and love, not despair.

Obvious to say this, but the actual function of the smear job isn't to make us ask about his aunt, it's to show us the words "hijab" and "9/11" in a headline with his photo.

Donate to your local food banks if you can. Think about foods you’d wanna eat after a long day - think about things a child could heat up without using the oven - and if you have the means maybe some special snacks Everyone deserves to eat. Everyone. No ifs. No buts. Everyone.

The baby was trying his hardest to convince me to simply crawl back into bed for more cuddles this morning rather than go to work. Unfortunately, somebody needs to bring money home to buy more cat food…which he begrudgingly understands.

In case you missed it, I recently posted the children’s book version of this meeting on my Patreon. Read it for free at the link below.

Calling me out in a big way today with this 🫠

I’m so sick of the economic issues are more important than social issues people. 44% of the US is non-white, 30% are white women. We’re all included in “DEI,” a group they’re trying to kick out of the job market. It’s hilarious that anyone thinks they can have an economy without us.

In addition to money donations to food banks & food aid for people, please also consider donating money or food & litter to pet food pantries. Many people who rely on SNAP to feed themselves will now need to redirect $ to buy groceries that they would have spent on pet food before.

No situation is so dark that there is not a ray of light ❣️ Norman Vincent Peale

California, don't forget to vote on Prop 50. Turnout is expected to be low, and we can't afford to unilaterally disarm while rightwingers pack congress.

Right now? Russ Vought failing to ‘dismantle the bureaucracy’ He’s raging because he wasn’t able to just fire everyone like he we wanted to during the shutdown, and I like it when fascists are mad.

In Les Miserables, Jean Valjean steals a loaf of bread to save his sister’s starving son He serves 19 years in jail & emerges the hero The villain? The cop who’s determined to pit him back in jail For the crime of not wanting someone to starve Telling this story for absolutely no reason at all.

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!" Social Security - "That's socialism!" Debt free education - "That's socialism!" Universal childcare - "That's socialism!" Billions for Argentina, ICE, refurbishing Trump's Qatar jet, and tax cuts for the rich... "That's just how it is."

Women are being erased at the Pentagon. Women are being erased from history. And now a woman has been erased from the desecrated White House.

I remember what it meant to finally leave the hospital—the relief mixed with uncertainty about what comes next. I’m so grateful Sophia has reached this milestone and I’m praying for her and her family as they continue their recovery journey. Sending so much love your way, Sophia ♥️

“Although I spent many of my formative years living in the White House, I always knew it wasn’t my house. It was my home, absolutely, but not my house. The White House belongs to the American people, and that’s why we call it the People’s House.” www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Keep going. Live. Even if it’s just for spite—live. We need each of us.

The Washington portrait saved by Dolly Madison hung in the East Wing, where's it?

I can’t believe we have to seriously deal with this freaking evil woman again. Like. Seriously?!

JUST IN: The ENTIRE East Wing of the White House has officially been DEMOLISHED, per AP.

This kind of BS is why life on a grand scale right now feels exactly like my personal experience trying to survive whilst held hostage in domestic violence. We escaped, but, holy crickey the RESEMBLANCE.
