Doing my best to survive living in Idaho. The United States is a white supremacist state, and it always has been, and late-stage capitalism enables white supremacy #BlackLivesMatter #FreePalestine 🇵🇸 Unless you actually know me, no DMs. I will block you

I threw up a little in my mouth just thinking about it

Finished In The Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado. It’s an interesting and unique memoir in that it is presented as a series of interrelated essays with the common theme of abusive relationships. I listened to the audio book, which was narrated by the author, so that was a treat. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 📚💙

Book cover with a house. There is a dark cloudy sky and dead grass. There is a hole in the house and a woman’s face with layers wrapped around her in green blue and red. On the porch, there is person’s silhouette.

IN THE DREAM HOUSE
a memoir

"A page turner of psychological suspense.... A literary treasure,"

Mimi update - it appears she has chosen her human, and it’s me. Kind of a bummer since I got her for my hubby, but this is life with chihuahuas. She is still skittish about loud noises, but she is settling down and settling in. She loves pets and people foods.

Really bad idea to have a bunch of religious extremists who believe in magical thinking - "God will heal you" - with their own guaranteed lifetime healthcare plans making health accessibility decisions for 340 million people.

"If they could snap their fingers and eliminate the ACA marketplaces altogether, they would. And they haven’t arrived at a consensus on what the insurance system would look like in their preferred world, beyond a bunch of vacuous bromides about 'choice' and 'patient-centered care.'"

They wouldn’t be accusing Democrats of mortgage fraud if they weren’t also guilty of it. They aren’t creative enough to make shit up out of whole cloth

Jesus, this is horrifying. Just another day for this sick and evil regime

This is appalling 🤬

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify family.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

I don’t get it. I mean, I could be making $150,000 a year to work their service desk, and I’m a firm no on that. And we’re drowning from layoffs and company setbacks and my rent being increased 35%, and I’m still a Fuck That Shit.

I am happy that more people see that the police state is a BIPARTISAN project.

Yep, I remember having that cringy belief after Trump got elected the first time. The learning curve has since been steep, so I guess I have to thank that monster for decolonizing my mind.
