Posing with my latest crafty thing- a needle felted pendant. Already got several compliments on it this morning at work ๐ฅฐ

The Trump admin is making the Bush admin blush. Jesus fucking christ, man
Anyone else catch the former Army colonel/chief of staff to Colin Powell from the Bush administration, on Democracy Now the other day, admitting to war crimes by the Bush admin, but more importantly saying Trump is taking war crimes to an unprecedented level?
What the absolute fuck!!!?!

Watching one of my favourite squirrelโs babies crawl out of the nest today for the first time. They keep staying around the nest, play fighting as siblings do, working up the courage to come down the tree and be a full squirrel.

Itโs officially springtime. First morning on the deck/bug landing in my coffeeโฆ. for 2026. A bittersweet moment ๐คฃโค๏ธ
- our country makes life unlivable for a people in a lot of areas of our country, often making the military one of the only options
- many military personnel leave the military with a hatred of the war machine greater than civilians
- we need broader coalitions, not smaller ones
Michael Brookโs quote โbe ruthless with systems; be kind to peopleโ
Thereโs a contingent of the left that hates vets/military people. Such a stupid fucking outlook for a host of reasons. A lot of it just exists online, but still- just know that I think youโre a dumbass. Hate the military industrial complex = fucking absolutely. Hate vets = absolutely fucking not.
If you need some inspiration and motivation right now, this book is perfect โค๏ธ

You can pick this up on Jesse Mechanicโs instagram account (from the link in his bio). It was only $20 and arrived ridiculously fast.
Cover of โDonโt be a fucking marshmallowโ by Jesse Mechanic
Highly recommend this awesome book I just got. Itโs an illustrated guide to revolution (and also comes with a strikebox of matches that looks like the book cover!). Also signed by the author. Absolutely in love with this bookโค๏ธ
My previous ones would take nuts from my hand but it took a few months to earn their trust; this guy is still in โI donโt quite know about you, yet, ladyโ mode lol
Squirrels get the zoomies just like dogs do. One of my frequent backyard visitors just body slammed a piece of bark lmao๐ญ

Brian McGinnis: โno one wants to fight for Israel!!โ
Senator Sheehy: โdonโt worry Daddy Israel, Iโll try to beat the ass of any vet who disparages you and make that sweet, sweet AIPAC money worth it!โ
My DSA chapterโs numbers have soared these last several months. And Iโm no longer one of two โoldโ people. Thereโs several of us now. Itโs awesome.
I think previously it could definitely be effective. I think it still can be when weโre talking about local govt. But with the level of insanity we got going on right now, I feel like weโre more effective when weโre working with a group.
Heโs a wee bit too high pitched ๐ needs a tad bit more bass in the tone. But heโll get it, Iโm sure.
Haha love these lil dudesโค๏ธ
Random reminder: the words radicalized and propaganda (at least in my world) are not inherently bad. In fact, they can be very positive in many contexts. โบ๏ธ
Special random shout out to all the liberals out there who have been radicalized further to the left the last few months after seeing how worthless corporate dems are. I see you and welcome you with open and excited arms ๐ฅฐ
Me neither! Iโm just obsessively curious about everything, so Iโve been spying on everything he does โบ๏ธ
Wow!!! Such an incredible picture!!!!๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
Chipmunk tunnel at night, closed off from predators with mud
And this is the tunnel closed for sleepy time ๐คฃโค๏ธ
My chipmunkโs tunnel when heโs awake and actively bringing food back
So I found my chipmunkโs home (tunnel) and discovered that at the end of the day, he blocks it off. Basically shutting the door to keep anything out. I checked 3 evenings in a row, and each time, a bunch of mud balls were just under the entrance. Fascinating little guys.
This is the tunnel open..
Named after Bob Rossโ squirrel he used to have on his painting show๐ฅฐ
