And Corduroy too. So nice to get lost in music and not think about β¦ everything else for a little while.
Decided to get Peacock for a month just so I can watch this SNL concert. I just want to replay Eddie Vedder singing Tom Petty for the rest of the month. π
I havenβt watched yet, but this was turned into an animated special on Apple too. :)

Happy Superb Owl Sunday - here is a sleepy Long-eared Owl that visited Central Park recentlyπ¦π
Iβm happy to be in MD where my reps are fighting the good fight, but are R reps getting the same volume of calls? Seriously though, did every last one of them get paid off? If thereβs a price where anyone would turn to corruption, a certain person can afford to pay it.
I remember joining Twitter years ago, wasting so much time playing fun games like #RemoveALetterFromABook and answering βF Mice and Men!β And now Iβm here, equally obsessed, but not having any fun at all.
Itβs time for some John Lewis energy.
Itβs a weird time to be a parent. I gave advice to my kid for a class, sent her to school, and now catching up on the collapse of our society. Like, maybe donβt even go to school if the future is less college, more Hunger Games. Faking optimism while hoping our elected leaders werenβt ALL paid off.
Babies and little kids at the library make up for the less enjoyable encounters. Two weeks ago, a patron was screaming at me and ruined my day. But today, a 2 year old yelled βboooooks!β while running towards the childrenβs area. I didnβt even tell him to use walking feet. He needed to get there.
It would be nice to see mainstream media acknowledge that every alarmist in their ranks about Trump and his henchmen has been correct, and every single "Let's all calm down" guy--a posture of blasΓ© detachment that is consistently over-rewarded in legacy media--has called it wrong from day one.
If theyβre going to double down on shitty efforts, weβre done until they come to their senses. It was convenient and fun to get what we needed and usually some fun little extra thing, but honestly, I wasted money on unnecessary things every trip. Thanks for making it easy to quit you, Target.
Yup. It makes me sad. This was always a fun little outing with my kid. She knows we are reigning things in for multiple reasons, but this one cements it. (Have your book checked out from the library now!)
That is adorable!
I can def stop buying unnecessary things at stores like Target (but will continue to support minority owned businessesβ products there.) but where am I supposed to buy necessary home improvement products if Loweβs does this and Home Depot is out? Local contractors lean right too.
Remember that fascists want you to feel hopeless and helpless. We are neither. Continue to be a pain in their fucking ass, even if that just means refusing to go away.
Watching now and itβs been cathartic to sing along.
Suddenly getting an influx of randos without any posts to indicate what kind of person they are, following me.
Just for the record, I am both uninteresting and uninterested. Go away.
after today it will be more important than ever to create, share, and promote the truth. one way is to check out breakingnewsusa.com where ive put together an aggregator of independent news sources that is constantly updated. please check it out, share, forward, etc
Oof, I bet. Iβm parked at the in-laws to pick them up and Iβm debating telling him they would have made the 2pc if I stayed home and finished watching. π Iβll choose silence again.
Iβm glad I chose to watch that Bal/Buff game alone at home instead of with husband and his family. Like, yeah that was a bummer, but my nervous system would not have been able to handle to yelling at the television. Anyway, go Commanders I guess?
My TikTok experience is officially over. I deleted because Iβm sure the βsaviorβ of the platform isnβt doing this for the fun of it all.
One thing I loved about Twitter was the ability to mute words. Bluesky made it better. I can choose a length of time to mute words. For the next seven days, my feed will not show me anything with a certain personβs name. A few may slip by if he is only named with colorful language, but thatβs okay.
every so often I feel compelled to point out that interlibrary loan is a goddamn miracle. If you have a library card and can wait a little while, you can have in your hands just about any book you want.* just because thereβs going to be another library out there that says βSure, weβll send it.β π
Dog experiencing snow joy.
I am here for news and hopefully factual information, but I also need this to be a spot for joy or I wonβt ever open this app. Any leads on joyful accounts to follow?
I saw Wicked alone because my kid saw it with a friend and my husband would not have been the best companion for this one. People were dressed cute like they were on dates. I wore sweats and had my hair in a bun. Giving zero effs might look like depression, but itβs the happiest Iβve been all week.
Wicked was excellent. I enjoyed the play but this was greatness. Cynthia Erivo: best Elphaba ever. So excited for part two.
Lee: When Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was up for confirmation or when VP Harris was added to the ticket, they called them DEI hires. They want you to believe that Harvard graduate with over 20 years of experience is not qualified but Fox personality is qualified to run the DOD
Let me say something that is controversial because our brains are broken:
Vaccines are a miracle and amazing
