I am really surprised how much I love my public health class! I still aim to be a PCP (PA), & I feel like it's going to be really helpful whether I end up in an urban or rural gig. Just to understand stuff if nothing else.

I'm constantly trying to find a recreational/sporty type hobby for bff(I'll do whatever) & I finally got interest in cross country skiiing! I'm an excellent downhill skier, meh snowboarder, we'll see how I do at this kind. At least I'll be less afraid of mountain lions than back home.

Recall that Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered not long ago by a fake cop who showed up at their door looking like this guy

My babushka'd baby.

every epstein file drop underscores how elite power operates through shared socio-economic networks, regardless of people's ideological differences, populist posturing, or public feuds

I love my public health class so much I'm going to talk to the professor when it's over about how I can somehow stay involved as a PCP. I'm cool being peripheral.

I am unreasonably excited to wear my new Jeopardy socks tomorrow.

Her "ah yes, zee scritchies zey are so good" stance.

I know I'm pretty heavily lesbian coded. But you know who NEVER makes that mistake? Actual lesbians. Clever girls.

I wrote a really decent paper for public health today, I'm very pleased with myself. Don't worry I'm still filled with rage.

Naturally today is the day my radiator started leaking antifreeze. 🤦‍♀️

Psychopathic fucking JACKALS. I cannot say what this makes me feel.

Turns out my hair is just long enough to Dutch braid! I LOVE IT, even with this janky ass braid. I think I need a barber shop tho bc these lines are not lines.

Again, being old in school sometimes really pays off. I'm writing a paper on the health inequities of my choice (women & pain) & I can write the whole thing off the cuff, I just need to find cites that support me. It's a rough draft tho!

I was playing some old music do cookie baking (I dance a lot), Ice Cube's It Was a Good Day. She said "is that Will Smith (I think that might be the only "rapper" she knows. I laughed really loudly & then apologized.

My gosh. Alex Pretti was notifying neighbors that Trump and Vance's agents were chasing a family. A mob of agents then tackled him and broke his rib. He thought he was going to die. Then the very next week, he came back out to support his neighbors. And a mob of agents killed him.

I'm now addicted to good press ons (with glue). It takes like 10 minutes to affix them & it feels like a shortcut to looking kinda out together. Plus these ones match my dog!

Second snow day (aka the day I found out I can't get out of the garage), cookies must be made.

How freaky are my voice recognition skills (bc I'm face blind)? I woke up at 4 am, put a Seinfeld on for background & boom, Joel Hornick (Seinfeld '89) & Ben Cafferty (VEEP, 2020) are one & the same. Even for me 30 years difference & having heard each thing only once, this was a good one.

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

Good riddance to the fascist homunculus.

The regime obviously thought they'd be able to take out a few dozen scary-queer-weirdo Antifa types in black masks and then successfully cow the rest of the Coastal Elite Liberal class into terrified silence: they were not expecting "totally fearless mass nonviolent resistance by entire cities."

WOOOT! In person classes canceled tomorrow! Apparently they haven't done this in like 15 years so yay!

Bff is putting in a 3k chair left for her front porch. She's only going to be in the chair another month maybe so I asked why?! So much $ for a temp situation! She insists she has to have it for her ONE doc appt. I showed her ALL the van services that would do it but she's insistent. I don't get it.

Idk how to explain to bigots how awesome having diverse ethnicities, gender, class, etc in your neighborhood. I love the beautiful little town I live in but it's aggressively white, older & well off. I secretly call it Honky Heights. Ok not that secretly.

I'm taking a feminist theory class to fulfill one of my non STEM reqs. Man, being 50 is a huge advantage there. I wrote a pretty decent paper yesterday totally off the cuff bc I've been thinking about it for like 40 years! But I'm sure I'll still learn some stuff. Uni is the best.

This can’t be repeated enough. Not only won’t they investigate, they may never even tell us who did this. Think about the message that sends to the next ones. Nobody is safe.

oh commuters just found the motherlode of ice agents at a suburban hotel, including, potentially, bovino himself. a bunch of confirmed ICE and CBP cars from the bovino convoy there. spring hill suites in maple grove. people of the twin cities, do with this info what you will.

She's not usually pointed this way. She keeps cutting absolutely horrendous toots!

On NPR on Friday, there was a story of a 4-year-old--an American citizen--who hasn't left her house since early December, not even to play in the yard. And her 8-year-old brother recently stopped going to school, too. Their father is undocumented, and the family doesn't want to risk him being taken.

My beautiful town!

"We'll take it from here Alex" has broken me. He was a fucking helper.

This fucking evil homunculus.

FUCK YEAH!! I am NOT prepared for microbiology.

Classic abuser language "you're making me hurt you!"

Man I envy people who can really sing. I do it all the time bc it makes me happy but I am...not good. It may be amazing to open your mouth & have art come out.

My snow baby: indifferent to water but nuts about snow (And not to worry, I shoveled out a bit of grass for poor wee Mr. Butters)

I think this is a controversial opinion: I think someone who dies, say free climbing Taipei 101 is not tragic. It's sad for sure, a human has died, but it's pretty fucking predictable when you do unnecessary things that could easily kill you. It goes under my heading of "rich white ppl nonsense."

When I shoveled around noon, we had over a foot. Just took the recycling out & we already have another 3-4 inches. I miss New England snow dumps so much, this is nice.

Jesus I just saw very slowed down footage from the pink/red lady. It will haunt me forever, it's somehow so much worse to clearly see it even though I knew what happened.

5:15 am & it's been snowing hard for several hours. We already have a few inches. I think this storm may deliver!

It's snowing hard, now they're predicting we get 16-20". I hope that happens.

White people, this country is now coming for you. Just like we said.

It's been on my list for awhile, but this week I'm buying a pump action shotgun. I have a bff to protect.

If the government executing us in the streets isn’t your red line, then you’ve already decided to endorse it. There’s no gray area left. No ambiguity.

This is ok tho

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.
