My brain is pinging all over the place between stress about current affairs and planning for vacation. I’m so excited about this cruise and hoping to get some good recharge time at the same time as I’m furious at the current administration and terrified of what Trump & Co will do next.

I hear you. I’ve been enjoying treats every damn day because who knows what shit Trump is gonna drop on us tomorrow.

YES, I agree.

When I hear people talk about a β€œsketchy” area, I ask them to clarify what makes it sketchy.

I get SO ANNOYED with the β€œcorrections” my iPhone camera makes. You aren’t alone here!!

Exactly, why would they want us to help them?? All I see this shit doing is turning them against us.

Someone needs to trick Joe Rogan into having Isaac Chotiner on his show.

🚨 BREAKING 🚨

The Florida Senate just PASSED the β€œAnti-Diversity in Local Government” bill (HB 1001 / SB 1134).

The bill is still up for a vote in the House.

Call the Speaker of the House and tell him to oppose HB 1001/SB 1134:

and pressure-washed and scoured with salt and lemon juice and vinegar and boiling water, but cleansed.

Now it’s time to soothe those raw wounds with the richest and loveliest elements of self-care.

friends, my friends I’ve kept from past jobs…

But the most important thing is that I can choose myself.

So after digging up and sorting through this shit, I went to my most amazing massage therapist, and we worked through physical knots and tensions, and now I feel cleansed. Like, sand-blasted+

Therapy today was devastating and illuminating and so hard but so, so good.

My parents didn’t choose me. But I can choose me, and I do choose me. I can surround myself with others who do choose me - and I’ve made a damn good job of doing that. My darling dear A, my best friend, my knitting+

I love how Republicans have to pour a bunch more money into the Senate race again because neither John Cornyn nor Ken Paxton got enough votes.

Love me a GOP catfight runoff.

Exactly! Is it a friendly shouted exchange β€œhey you left your phone in my car!” Or trash-talking another driver β€œslow down you maniac!!” or something worse?? Gotta be an observant neighbor!

I binged it a couple of weekends ago. Highly recommend doing so - make a couch or bed nest and just watch the entertainment feed.

Nothing like hearing a honking car horn and then someone yelling in my very quiet neighborhood 😬 immediately paused my audiobook, put down my crochet, and stepped out to be a nosy neighbor.

Nothing’s going on, thankfully.
