Here’s a piece I wrote in February. So short I could screenshot it. If you’d like to check out other editions of my newsletter, follow the link. I am considering rekindling this effort. I’d also like to post the writings of others, should anyone wish to contribute?☯️⚖️✌️

Absolutely worth a mini celebration. 🍻

Having a good day is not only a choice, it's activism. They want us scared, but all I have to deal with is today, and the day may well end with a Guinness, so fuck Trump and his minions. ☯️⚖️✌️

Trump has done more to damage peace & human progress than any leader in recent history. He has demonized the vulnerable, dismissed science & medicine, destabilized global order, & is now actively dismantling the democracy that gave him power. His legacy is one of hate, division & decay.

I’m sure Trump is looking into having María Corina Machado indicted, even if he has to buy Venezuela with our healthcare funds.

The average American gets upset when they find out they’re losing their healthcare, and it’s all because he has it on good authority that Obama has a bigger schlong. ⚖️☯️✌️

Trump is not living in the future he imagined. Everybody was supposed to love him, and give him all of the accolades and awards normally reserved for the best of the best.. the poor little fucktard got his little dose of reality this morning. It’s raining MAGA tears over your Froot Loops.

Trump only really wanted to win the Nobel Peace Prize for one reason — and you guessed it: it’s Obama.

Trump loses out to Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado as his dream of surpassing Barack Obama’s achievements continues to elude him.

When he said that my brain did quadradiddles as I realized I once again had made the mistake of expecting more from people than their cognitive abilities could support. It crossed my mind to ask him if he really believed Trump had stopped seven wars, but I decided not to ask.

Yesterday, a local Drummer told me that he was excited that Trump was getting ready to stop the war in Israel. I told him he was an idiot and he should shut up and play his drums. The guy auditioned for my band about 3 years ago, we played one gig with him. Thankfully, he didn’t cut.

In the words of Adriene Belew. “Don’t hold your breath, because it’ll make you blue”. From the song with, 'My Baby's in Love with a Shoe Salesman,' it makes me feel like a sock full of holes. I’m guessing that the winner didn’t kill anyone lately. 🤔

I’m sure Trump will post a heartfelt and sincere congratulatory message to Maria Corina Machado for winning the Nobel Peace Prize, as any president with class and dignity would do.

It’s worth remembering that this is the only moment that requires our full attention. All future moments can only be guessed at. 90% of the things we worry about never happen, & 99% of the things that happen, don’t happen as we imagined them. The best way to remind myself, is to remind others. ☯️✌️

Much appreciated, and no problem. I can insert any needed psychobabble required to get through the day. I also consider you to be perfectly normal, although above average. ✌️

It would’ve been OK if they used two pieces of paper for that one. Reduction to the ridiculous, break it down to bite-size pieces, or eat it all in one bite. I might be delirious, and I’m not wearing my glasses.

Lately, I vacillate between caring about everything and nothing at all. On one hand, I would like humanity to have an awakening, allowing our short time here to feel worthwhile, and on the other hand, I’ll be OK with it if we get hit by an asteroid the size of the moon. ☯️🌚✌️

The universe is unimaginably vast, possibly infinite; it is beyond imagination. Humanity should try its hand at being humble. We are a conscious virus on a speck of dust. At the scale of all that there is, the problems of the world mean less than nothing, although “nothing” is also, unimaginable ☯️⚖️✌️

I don’t know what that something is, but I know I don’t like it.

If we say too much we overwhelm, say nothing, & nothing changes. The noise, the noise. If 10% of Scott’s will read it; 0.2% of Americans might. I like words, without them, I wouldn’t know what to say. A picture is worth 1000 words, so easily misunderstood. Without context it’s just a shoe on a curb.

RFK jr. often says there’s a study, or there are 2 studies on that, now he’s saying circumcision cause autism, and there’s a study. Get the fuck out of here. What about the studies that show vaccines work? Because there’s more than 2 on that. RFK Jr. is the dick that needs to be circumcised.

We’re watching an entire political party actively protect the single most infamous sex-trafficking operation of our time.

This isn’t just silence—it’s complicity at the highest level.

NEWS: New York Attorney General Letitia James has been indicted by a federal grand jury in a case brought by Trump’s former personal lawyer-turned-prosecutor, Lindsey Halligan, following Donald Trump’s demands.

I have no idea what that means. The current government is a fascist regime. I like to keep things simple.

vegan_front @ardentbreath.bsky.social · 21h

If you want your voice to matter, use it. I know there are accounts out there that are antifascist and read all kinds of posts, but then post pictures of kittens. I encourage you to post the kittens between some pro-democracy posts, but not instead of them.

They want it to become a trigger word for their base, like woke. It makes zero difference whether or not it's truth. If that’s the narrative they want, that’s the narrative they’ll push, & that’s why a lot more of us need to be setting it straight.
