Look back on the year and count the victories. Hold hands with someone you love and recharge. Anything can be rebuilt. Can we fix it? Yes we can. Together.

I lost track of posting on Bsky due to overstimulation. But getting back to it this coming year. Hold on folks, the 4th turning is upon us, yes, but every joyful breath, every unsolicited eye contact smile is a victory. (Too short form for me here.)

Best thrift store purchase this year: Weiner dog icecube maker. I suggest putting something in a place in your life that you access daily that makes you smile, giggle, or laugh. Weiner dog ice trays for the win.

Bribes. They’re known as bribes.

Compare these two quotes. Who do you think sounds wiser? “You’re raising the volume of your voice but not the logic in your argument.” ~Zelensky "Canada is not a real country." Elon Musk

So. The same day the VP and his sidekick tried to embarrass a visiting President of a nation at war with Russia, insulting his clothes and somehow a Russian news agency was in the oval office? Is this the same same oval office that has been keeping the AP out? Is anything considered treason anymore?

Always 🇺🇦

This is who reporter Glenn is

Pathetic. Shameful. Cowardly. Disgusting. Trump and JD Vance showed the world they will enthusiastically reward the aggression of dictators and don't think freedom is worth fighting for. They are setting fire to Reagan's "City Upon A Hill."

Call your rep. Demand a town hall. If they’re GOP and won’t give one, invite a Dem to your district in their place. Congressional switchboard: (202) 224-3121

I wish dem reps would send me more info than just how to send them "$5 today."

Harris beat Trump 54% to 43% among voters ages 18-24. Harris beat Trump 53% to 45% among voters ages 25-29. Harris beat Trump 51% to 45% among voters ages 30-39. Trump to Fox: “I won youth by 36 points.” www.cnn.com/2025/01/22/p...

Do not believe the Vance suggestion that Zelinsky is not grateful for US support. Why would any leader meet with these guys again. I am incredibly ashamed at the way he was treated.

Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦 ✊

The final 10 minutes of the meeting devolved into a shouting match rarely seen in front of cameras and reporters in the Oval Office.

This is the way.

How dare the "leaders" of the USA treat the President of another country the way they did today. What the serious and angrily stated F*** with the way these guys spoke to the leader of a country we made a deal with so they would give up their nuclear warheads. I am deeply ashamed of us today.

Living through corrupt kakistocracy

Gutting Alzheimer's research. First reported more than a week ago -- and as yet, this has not been undone. Republicans appear to have not said a word about it. abcnews.go.com/Politics/tru... See also... newrepublic.com/article/1917... See also... www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

I'm not on Facebook today as part of the buying blackout. How about you?

I'm Mar🐫 & I approve this message. 👍 #EcomomicBlackout (image by @donkoclock.bsky.social) 🙏

In an Idaho town hall a woman shouted "is this a town hall or a lecture" and two men walked over and grabbed her, and when she said, "who are you? Show me your badge. Where is your badge?" and then loudly shouted, "Who are these men?" People didn't stand up to defend her rights? Shame on them.

Today, I hope you reach out to our Federal reps and say, "Do not approve this budget." Explain your position (why would we cut taxes on the 1% when they already don't pay their taxes due to loopholes? Why would you put Medicaid in the mix for possible cuts?) Whatever your reason is, deluge today!

Some people voted for trump. Some people voted for Kamala. Some people voted 3rd party. But I guarantee you that NOBODY voted for a fucking billionaire to be raiding our Social Security. What the fuck is THIS bullshit?

I realize resigning used to feel like a statement of power...but now it's just the opposite. Please, if you work for the government, try to stay if you can. We need you there.

Guess who got published! Page 7!

Last night the incoming "president" announced his own Cryptocurrency while attending a ball attended by the wealthiest people in the world. Seriously, wtf.

Ya'll who are complaining that Michelle Obama isn't attending 45's next coup...uhm...inauguration, ya'll know 45 didn't attend Biden's, right?

On the way to DC for the People's March. Icey. Snowing. Still going. We the people, in order to form a more perfect union are gonna meet up in the flippin' cold again and wave some signs, again, then log off Jan 20. Hope you will be marching too. Jan. 18. DC, or somewhere else near you.

Trying to get this into my check it regime, but I never much like Twitter...I'm more long form.

Spirit Talker was my handle on Twitter, but someone had already taken it here...so I asked for inspiration from source.
