Going to bed with a sense a hope for the first time in what feels like forever. America can be saved from corruption, authoritarianism, and fascism is we stick together. They're only gonna try and make things harder from here on out, so we've got to stay united.

Could you imagine if someone got so upset about tonight's election results that they had a stroke? A girl can dream.

Yeah, sex is great. But have you ever been a democrat on an election night where there was a blue wave? 🌊🚬🌊🚬🌊

Not a Virginian, but Spanberger walking out to Florence and the Machine autmatically makes me like her.

Last night I went on a tear on the 50501 subreddit about this as well. I should consume more French Revolution content.

Me following my roommate around the house giving him unasked for facts about Marie Antionette (poor girl really got a raw deal and I’ll fight anyone who says otherwise).

I’m so stoked for this. I just finished Hera by Jennifer Saint and I loved seeing you quoted between the different parts.

Cheney dying feels like a good omen for the NYC mayoral race today.

How was it both so stressful and incredibly boring at the same time? The Jags are something else.

I love the Jags but I’m also completely sick of their shit.

Currently reading Hera but Jennifer Saint and I knew I was in for a good time* when I saw a Nikita Gil quote between sections of the book.

*you can never truly have a good time reading a mythology retelling. Your heart will break but it’s so worth it.

Happy New Florence and the Machine Album day to all who celebrate.

Mrs. Benjamin Franklin Hawkeye Pierce @sparklespanx.bsky.social · 4d

I’m so thankful my old decrepit body woke me up at 5am this morning because there were literally only three tickets left for the Bristol show. I’m so excited!!!

Mike Wozniak @mikewozniak.bsky.social · 4d

Tour sale now very much in the chocks away phase (mostly - a few dates go on sale later but that's all made clear at the website in the bio). The show is irresistibly titled "The Bench" and it shall be a hoppin' and a skippin' and a jumpin' all around the UK and Ireland in 2026.

Mrs. Benjamin Franklin Hawkeye Pierce @sparklespanx.bsky.social · 5d

While I’m in Cardiff next year, Mike Wozniak is doing a show in Bristol. That’s only a 30 minute train ride. I am very very excited!

Mrs. Benjamin Franklin Hawkeye Pierce @sparklespanx.bsky.social · 7d

This! I don’t have kids but my best friend’s kids are my niece and nephew and I’m absolutely Aunt Kristina. Family is what you make it.

Linda Holmes @lindaholmes.bsky.social · 7d

There was a video where somebody asked a bunch of people what you call your mother’s best friend’s kids. It was very eye-opening to me that many of the people they asked immediately said “they’re my cousins,” which wouldn’t occur to me. People have different cultural customs. It’s not a controversy.

If the Hamilton soundtrack is being sung at loud volumes and violently off key, just know that means I am LOCKED. THE. FUCK. IN and getting shit done.

House sitting for a friend. I’ve packed enough weed to melt my mind and I’m going to completely detox from social media and the news for the next 48 hours*

*im gonna try really really hard anyway…

Mrs. Benjamin Franklin Hawkeye Pierce @sparklespanx.bsky.social · 12d

I’m not going to name the author because that doesn’t sit right with me. Just trust me when I saw it’s BAD bad. This is one book I’d be okay with burning, as much as it pains me to say it. #booksky

Somehow, the author uses the weirdest adjectives. I’m all for consulting a thesaurus when writing, but she uses the most grandiose option when it just doesn’t fit the rest of her writing style. It feels so shoe horned in. The book also keeps referencing some weird law but refuses to expound on it.

Im currently reading what might actually be the worst book I’ve ever read. It’s the second of a trilogy and I loved the first one, despite the FMC. In the 2nd book, she has zero redeeming qualities, no critical thinking skills, and zero chemistry with the love interest.

My roommate has been held in a chokehold by these videos for the last year and I’ve always wondered who else would be into them and I’m beginning to find that they’re way more popular than I realized 😂

Mrs. Benjamin Franklin Hawkeye Pierce @sparklespanx.bsky.social · 13d

I had a decently priced veggie sandwich from the deli in this severely overpriced grocery. All the normal veggies + sauerkraut with deli mustard and chipotle mayo on top of sourdough. I think I’ve found my next hyper fixation.
