Recently drove to San Francisco. California driving a treat. Return to Oregon and the angry, aggressive, idiotic drivers around us is astounding. (Once lived in San Diego for 7 years. Better drivers there too.) Oregon, your hatred of California drivers is misplaced. You’ve got to shape up.

Have a MAGA cousin who married an amazing woman from Columbia. I hope she’s safe. Irony can be a terrible thing to play with.

Not following Tomasky @mjtoma.bsky.social & @newrepublic.com ? You probably should be.

Good morning! After poking the day with my stick, I run a little way off to see if it’ll chase me or not. I prefer non reactive days. Soft, smiling, lazy ones are ideal. May your day spare you of trouble!

My life in a nutshell. My biggest wish? That I’d have a better view of the scenery.

Good morning! Another week is coming & another chance to be a better person than the week before. (I say this because I’m always under major construction. As long as I refrain from demolition, I count it as good.) 😊 😊 😃

Two sweet missionary ladies showed up at my door. I smiled and nodded politely. When they spoke of the end times I wasn’t going to argue. It looks like they might be on to something.

The power button on our ancient remote stopped working. We have to get up to turn the TV on & off. Lest you think this a trite story, look for the deeper meaning. It’s hidden like the tv power button is.

Well said, Harrison.

When citizens are not educated about how government works… When they are disconnected from fact… When too many fail to participate to maintain the foundations of a democracy… We end up in the current “Dis-United States.”

Wishing that he is haunted by the spirits of the brave men who died for their country. Patel is a sorry excuse of a man. He’s a sorry excuse for a human being. His country means nothing to him except as his entertainment. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

Good morning! May any squirrels you encounter today be of the fun and amusing kind. Not the kind that confuse you with “squirrelyness.” We have way too many of those.

Women are mere incubators for their spawn. Once born children are consumables. They don’t want to provide any care. They don’t care about carrying capacity of the earth. They are despicable. They are destroyers. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Good night! May your night be calm.

China has the second largest economy in the world. If they play their cards right Trump will serve the US to them on a platter. China knows. georank.org/economy/chin...

They're so many crazy things that make no sense going on that my brain just can't hold it together.

In an age dependent on computers, any enemy country that didn't tamper with it's opponent's computer systems would be missing one of the best avenues of attack. I'd whisper this but I'm no genius and I'm sure they've figured this out for themselves. www.cnn.com/2026/05/15/p...

May your weekend be peaceful. Happy Friday!

Good night. May it be a restful one.

Can’t tell you how many times I say things and people think I’m serious. I want to say “Are you literal much?” Then, I think about it and wonder if I missed the point. Weird is my favorite pair of cozy pajamas. I don’t know why.

Good Morning! Let’s face, it the baggage of all the days before is there waiting for you. You don’t have to pick all of it up. Reduce baggage or at the least choose bags with wheels. They’re easier to move.

Trading the noise of the world for the melody of the trees this morning. Here’s to finding your own pocket of peace today. Have a beautiful, serene morning, my friends. #Jaye’sMorningLight

We need to dismantle the grip the wealthy have on government. If we don’t we can expect to continue to be fodder for wealth to snack on.

Intensive treatment for the drag of life long pessimism is to scroll Bluesky and look for morning greetings and positive posts. When first noticed, I was irritated by what felt like a disconnect with reality until I realized that to remove the doom didn’t hide it but made it more livable.

Good morning! When I smile at people, most smile back. Always a treat for the good ole endorphins.

Not exactly a unicorn fan but I am a fan of poking holes. May your day be “holy” or at least full of holes you can see through.

There’s enough bizarre, insane factual information about these lunatics that no one has to make any up. Distortion of a common reality is their strategy. It should never be ours.

Over the years, I’ve seen a lot of things go sideways. I’ve seen justice aborted. I’ve witnessed heartless cons. I’ve seen the good suffer at the expense of the unscrupulous. Any faith I had once that a flawed system worked more than not is gone. And hope? It’s very hard to find.

If there was any doubt that consumerism has gone down a filthy porcelain bowl, Temu confirms how easy it is to get people to buy junk. Some MAGA I know think it’s fantastic. Not made in the USA you dummies. Where’s your warped patriotism now?. www.cheapism.com/reasons-to-a...

Good morning! Failure is the staging ground of success. We can’t escape it. It contains more valuable lessons than success. Fail forward, today!

This will end. It may take a while. Some of us might not live to see it. The world they’ve created isn’t sustainable. It will collapse. They will fall. With their cruelty, they write their own epitaph on tombs that people will dance on.

In a world gone mad, the kind and simple things matter more than ever. Take care.

Lots of people like to tell Democratic leaders what we should be doing. I’m not that optimistic. Here’s what I think we can do to win the election that will decide how much the next one will matter. ONLY WE ARE COMING TO SAVE US www.thefarce.org/only-we-are-...

Happy Monday! Don’t take any crap from anyone this week. Respond nicely but firmly while wearing an imaginary crown unless you have a real one. Wear that and most people will leave you alone.

Hate & anger no matter how justified will eat you alive. Stop. Breathe. Find something or someone to love. It makes coping easier.

Sometimes the only thing you can do is keep your light on. Someone out there needs to see it and be guided safely home. Good night.

Maybe one of the Democrats’s errors in strategy is appealing to logic and reason. If that worked we wouldn’t suffer under a rabid Republican Party.

Good Morning and Happy Mother’s Day! Read Heather Cox Richardson’s post on the origin of Mothers’ Day. The Civil War exacted a huge human toll. Influential women’s participation was seen as necessary to help create a saner society. We’ve yet to be equal.

Let’s get real. They are not going to change. They will continue to destroy everything in their path. Beware of false hope and outrage. They fall short. The times demand engagement with the brutal harshness of ugly reality. Actions not just words.

My words are either too big or too small. I typically hear crickets flow out of the ears of people who stand before my true unbridled self. I feel alone. I find more kindred spirits on Bluesky and very few crickets Home at last!
