Repeating for the umpteenth time: I'm not voting for Newsom. No one I respect will vote for Newsom. If Democrats push for him as the candidate, they will manage to lose the easiest election ever. And they can only blame themselves, because they have been warned with ample time.

Got fully sucked into the Heated Rivalry universe. Read 4 of the books this week, and watched the series, twice.

My grandpa always wore a bolo tie, so I made him a white one to match his burial outfit.

"Isn't it better to have your heart broken than to have it wither up? Before it could be broken it must have felt something splendid. That would be worth the pain."

Is it bad that I keep rooting for everyone but the US athletes in most of the Olympic events? There's a few exceptions, Alysa Liu was fun to watch.

I hear a lot of people saying that ai makes art accessible.. well I personally think that's bullshit- so I made this to drive my point home. #regalsart #illustration #fuckai #digitalart

Grandpa passed about an hour ago. I'm so glad the end went quickly. He's at peace.

It's jarring to see how much money is going to ICE instead of education, healthcare, public transportation, international aid, green energy infrastructure, and the arts, but I guess that's the point.

You ever get so fed-up with everyone's bullshit that you just retreat forever into the sea?

Yo WTF.

Watching someone you love transition from life to death is indescribable. But I feel at peace. This has been a special experience. It'll be soon. I am sad. I will miss him very much. But it's been a very calm process and makes me feel less afraid. I worry for my grandma. 65 years together.

Finally finished "All My Rage" by Sabaa Tahir. It's a sad book, but I liked it. The mix of the past vs the present, the struggles of both parents and kids, frustrating how they're often treated and the choices they make to survive. Still a beautiful story somehow.

Overheard the TSA agent who was handling the trays at security tell another agent, a female agent, about a woman that had just walked through smelling of gasoline "typical woman, can't even pump her own gas without screwing it up." And I just...

You mean to tell me that the company I thought was definitely going to turn out to be MAGA is not?! Dr. Bronners, with the weird religious themed writing all over their products and seemingly a huge conspiracy theorist, is speaking out specifically against Trump? Damn.

He's not going to make it through the week. I'll be there tomorrow. I hope I can say goodbye.

In California:

Just some cute little chrome hearts this month. Went basic for once.

I was worried my grandpa wasn't going to make it to April, now I'm worried he won't make it until the end of the month. I'm glad I'm leaving Sunday to go see him. We did a video call today and he's not great.

I don't understand the reason for starting yet another storyline in the last 10 pages, despite the other storylines going nowhere.

Husband and I watched "Honey, Don't" last night and I don't know what was going on. I liked the vibe at least.

I have to finish, even though the end is messy. Like there's a lot of missing context here.

I'm about 30 pages into a new book and I have a suspicion that it's at least partially written by AI. 👀 There's a few lines that have just made me side eye them a little bit.

This week is 3 months long.

USAID fraud - no arrests Medicare fraud - no arrests Social security fraud - no arrests Election fraud - no arrests If MAGA didn’t have the collective IQ of a moldy peanut butter sandwich, they’d realize they were being scammed by now.

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

Sometimes I meet other ADHD people and wonder why they're so much more normal. I feel like a feral rat most days.

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

Watched my uncle's memorial over zoom today, and had several strange moments where I kept looking for him, like he would be attending just a normal family gathering. It was still a nice service. His lifelong friend who lives overseas performed a song on his guitar for him.

This x100000. There's a reason I give up on getting meds, have a bad time for a few years, finally go back to get meds, do great for a while, then say fuck it again.

Jd Vance has been unusually quiet on his Nazi account lately. Maybe he's realizing he is involved with a bunch of pedos. Or maybe he has a mystery illness that'll shut him up forever.

I have heard about DHS literally every day for over a year

It is. Like extra tangy tzatziki. This may become a hyper fixation food.

Would it be weird if I just sat here eating the tartar sauce I made today on crackers? It's really good.

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

Some of those kids died due to lack of medical treatment and cruelty.

I just found out a friend of mine passed away this morning. I don't know why there's so much bad shit all at once right now. It's really overwhelming.

Hehehehe.

It has begun.

❤️

After reading the newly released Epstein Files Is anyone else feeling like ripping the dicks off powerful men, putting them in a meat grinder & feeding them to cats today or is that just me?

We might get up to 7 inches of snow tonight. Even more than last year! Gonna have to go play on the beach again in the snow.

BRING BACK THE PLAGUES OF EGYPT! But only for those people. The rest of us deserve respite.

I paid my 2025 self employment taxes. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Nooooooooooooooo. people.com/catherine-oh...

And it's cancelled. 🫠

Georgia Fort, an independent journalist and vice president of the Minnesota NABJ chapter, was also arrested by federal agents this morning I was sent this video of agents at her door:
