Higher Ed professional, linguistics nerd, misanthrope, wannabe writer, borderline Luddite. Random hobbies: reading, knitting, baking, flirting with nihilism, film photography (See: Luddite). I despise summer. Childfree. Owned by Zelda and Mrs.Parker.
I just want to live in a country where the leader can’t enrich themselves with our tax dollars, the government does what the people want, and the wealthy have to follow the laws.
You know, like a democracy.
Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted child sex trafficker, gets gardening time, sports, therapy dogs, and spa products in prison.
Migrant children in custody are sleeping on concrete floors without enough food or clean water.
Our priorities are so fucked.
“In Washington’s graceful departure, after serving two terms in office, he laid the foundation for the tradition of the peaceful transfer of power—what became the most American of acts by leaders who valued democracy and loved their country more than power itself.” open.substack.com/pub/america/...
"Some have been puzzled by the fact that MAGA, a movement of white nationalism, is so quick to demonize white women
But there is no paradox here. White nationalism depends on a certain type of white woman: someone who is “loyal” to the white race and compliant with patriarchy."

This 250th anniversary year we can prove we are stronger than a malignant narcissist & virulent racist and his depraved enablers willing to destroy our democracy to participate in power’s orbit.
This is our chance to stem this hateful
fascist agenda & pursue justice & decency.
Let’s get it done!
Two Martini cocktails, one with three olives, one with a lemon twist.
Happy New Year!
2025 can piss off.
A holiday wreath surrounding a picture of Ricardo Montalban in the "Wrath of Khan", thus creating the Wreath of Khan.
My holiday decorations are up!
Picture of my "I voted" sticker on my sweater.
Why yes, I did vote today, thank you.

Mrs Parker usually waits until I am in bed and then she scratches to get in. This time, she just never moved when I made the bed, so I tucked her in 🤣

Zelda had a hard day and needed a tuna cocktail after work.

Cat? What cat?

If you are seeing this, drop an old pic you still love.
Seven-hour pinhole exposure, Ondu 35mm, expired Kodak Gold, developed in Caffenol.
That is the stuff of nightmares 😨
Book open on my lap with a cat's tail lying across it, blocking parts of both pages.
Miss Zelda, do you mind??

One white cat, one tabby cat, both sitting exactly the same way on a bed, looking up at the camera, waiting for treats.

Also me, 2025.
Cats for tax.
1971, never saw the movie, and heartily reject the name. Also, whatever.

More coffee please.
So that's what Big Balls did with the terabytes of data he stole from the National Labor Relations Board a few weeks ago.
It’s so weird that more people aren’t just losing their shit about how bad Trump is getting. He’s more deranged every day and we still see pundits writing about his “strategy.”
There’s no strategy. There’s no plan. The president is not sane.
The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.
When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice.
The result? Demagoguery and corruption.
I am 6-foot-1 and 190ish pounds. Trump is significantly more obese than me. This is Orwellian bullshit that signals a pure, uncut contempt of all citizens and media. No one believes this bilge. He's a very fat, increasingly senile, elderly man and likely a stroke victim.
There's a reason ICE agents wear masks in the street. From Kristi Noem's war-crime propaganda to the airport officers harassing innocent tourists, the MAGA deportation regime is not just immoral but increasingly criminal

Standing up to a bully is the only way to stop him.
Why does the bully currently control all branches of government?
They let him. Let that sink in.
Gov. Mills is fighting the bully.
Together, we can be like Gov. Mills.

Forget about the legal case.
A man was wrongly deported and placed in a notorious prison with leaders of a gang out to get him.
Anyone with an ounce of basic human decency would fix the mistake and return that man to the United States
Rubio on X: Last night, another 10 criminals from the MS-13 and Tren de Aragua Foreign Terrorist Organizations arrived in El Salvador. The alliance between @POTUS and President @nayibbukele has become an example for security and prosperity in our hemisphere.
Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process.
This is not lawful.
