It was a slow month for me. I haven't been able to find books this year that capture my attention. Except Dunk and Egg. I devoured those novellas.
Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a nearly blind refugee from Burma who Border Patrol agents dropped off at a doughnut shop Thursday and left to find his way home, 5 miles away, has been found dead.
His family was not notified of his release. Police are investigating.
I really need influencers to stop holding their little mics and just clip them on their shirt. They are called LAPEL MICS for a reason. And don't get me started on the overly fluffy windscreens. And yes, I know I sound old and cranky!

This was a delightful end to an incredible half-time show! I hope all the racists in my family stay mad.
I just listened to this interview for a second time. I'm floored by Gov. Tim Walz. I applaud him for his steady leadership. We could have had this man as our VP!! Love his absolute disdain for RoJo.

Yikes.
But I'm struggling with how to confront those who aren't online, who don't pay attention to the news & are convinced they aren't affected by what is happening. How do I make my MAGA parents, aunts, and cousins realize what they are supporting directly contradicts their deeply held Christian values.
I've managed to curate an algorithm on the social media sites I use to be mostly friends, family & creators who share my values & outrage at the current regime. I know living in an echo chamber is dangerous, but I would argue that seeing that side of th3 internet is also dangerous for my sanity.
And picking out the photos to release to media. Cause if it's left up to my husband, he's picking, totally choosing something where I look unhinged and feral.
I've been thinking lately about the GOP & their demonization of so-called DEI hires. I wonder if they realize that any man who is a nurse, teacher, or secretary is technically a DEI hire since back in the day, women were really only allowed those professional pathways. π€

I am still waiting on the deep thoughts and reflections text from my father in the wake of Renae Good's death. The one for Charlie Kirk came a day later. Wonder what's taking so long this time π€
Congress needs to stand-up and impeach this man before he drags us into a world war, which we will lose
My grandma's 14 year old cat Lily napping in the sunshine.
I'm so angry and I'm not afraid to express it! It's making my relatives uncomfortable. Which makes me even angrier. My outrage shouldn't be what makes people uncomfortable. The slide into fascim should make everyone uncomfortable.
DEVELOPING: The shooter or shooters fled north on Redwood Road, Salt Lake City Police Chief Brian Redd said.
All eight people were shot outside the church and all are adults.
There was no suspect in custody as of 10 p.m.
Hereβs some things that can be done by a party out of power
- file impeachment articles every day in the House
- withhold unanimous consent in the senate and filibuster every nominee
- be everywhere with comms saying this is lawless and impeachable
BREAKING: An American military operation in Venezuela killed 32 Cuban officers over the weekend, the Cuban government said in the first official acknowledgement of the deaths.
The New York Times has just confirmed that 40 civilians died in President Trump's invasion.
This is the aftermath in one area
Got so mad this morning I called my congresswoman and my senators and then did some protesting with the group that protests every Saturday by our local library. I really hope things get better from here. Fuck this regime.
RIP Dick Cheney, you would have finally found something to like about the Trump presidency (illegally overthrowing a government for oil)
Statement from @repmcgarvey.bsky.social: βAmerica must not start another reckless, unjustified war fought for the interests of oil companies.β
Statements from Colorado delegation coming in regarding military action and capture of Venezuelaβs president. Both Rep. Diana DeGette (D) and Rep. Jason Crow (D) start their comments with how bad Maduro is, then say Congress has been lied to. #copolitics
If Xi Jinping invaded Taiwan right now, and toppled the president there, on what grounds would the United States object? Or have any credibility to say anything?
The President has just sidestepped Congress, launched a strike on Venezuela, and deployed U.S. troops. This is an act of war. Any member of Congress who respects the Constitution should be outraged by this reckless escalation. (1/2)
2025 was certainly the year of the audiobook for me, which catapulted my reading to an all-time high of 57 books. A good mix of history, mystery, memoirs, and melancholic Irish American women. I've been using storygraph to track my progress, and I'm excited for some new reading challenges in 2026.
