Day 1: Tom Whalen's Dolls. Surreal prose poems about dolls, natch. Funny, sad, weird in the best possible way, sometimes disturbing, too. A good start.

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

For many, the holidays don’t feel like joy. It feels like pressure. Like shame. Like trying to stretch a dollar that just won’t stretch anymore.
Know this, you are not alone. You are not a failure. You are not less than. You matter.
Hold love close.

We are where we are because of all the Democratic Party leaders in my life like Clinton, Biden, Obama, Schumer, and Pelosi choosing to align more and more with the GOP, Zionism, and right-wing fascism over the democratic socialists in THEIR OWN PARTY who organize, fundraise, and vote for them.

Same. It's really not that hard.
My “side” is that children should be protected. Oh, my “politics”? They all should have access to food, housing, medical care, and education.

Fuck ICE! And every LEA associated with them. And Fuck the Trump Administration, (goes doubly for Stephen Miller, that Nazi fuck).
Officials eventually released her, and a lieutenant from the Sheriff’s Office called it a "silly" “human error.” Weird choice of words!

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Yass!!
Unlike you, I can read and that’s why I know what the constitution says.
Trump on Ilhan Omar: "I look at somebody who comes from Somalia...and she comes in and tells us how to run our country. 'The Constitution says this, the Constitution says that.' The whole thing is crazy."

Resign or get primaried. Either way you're done.
Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis
For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare
We will keep fighting
