At this time I'd like to officially come out of the closet as a woo-woo kooky catlady. Please unfriend accordingly if such content will annoy you!

This has been unfolding slowly over the last few years, following a cancer diagnosis, treatment, and spiritual experiences I tried hard to ignore.

I'm still so mad about the East Wing I haven't been able to let it go all day lol

I'm surprised by how mad it's made me. Unsentimental me!

All of my grandparents are long dead. I regret never asking them directly what the birth of my parents was like. What raising them was like? How they found out I was born? I had no interest in anything like that until I became the same age I remember them being. Now there's no one to ask. Humbling.

VEHICLE: I'm strictly "VEE-ah-cull" and NEVER ever ever "Vee-hickel"... I do say "vee-HICK-you-lurr" tho, so no worries there.

I was briefly able to peek at the crowds, and it was truly inspiring. I didnt manage any pics, tho. I was busier than I thought I would be. Not at all the day I expected, but no complaints

Okay I am back from the valley of woe is me. Today is a new day. Today will be about standing on the principles we claim to have. Or perhaps a stronger metaphor is in order:

The Assignment is due, people! Show Your Work!

Today has tested every last one of my nerves. I'm too tired to simmer with rage and too tired to burst into tears.

I wasn't too tired to inhale an entire bag of donuts, tho. Don't worry, I threw up after. I wasn't even trying.

Tho I stayed in Portland only very briefly before I moved to Seattle, I can attest everything they are doing is 1000% on brand for how they roll. This Jones' Good Ass BBQ & Foot Massage style approach to antifascism is as iconic as it is correct. Just say'n.

We don't need to be talking about who will be the Democratic nominee in 2028. We need to be talking about who will lead the marches RIGHT NOW, who will be our voice RIGHT NOW.

Who is our Lech Wałęsa? Our Václav Havel? Our Nelson Mandela? Our Gandhi? Is there such a person in today's United States?

It really is wild that white folks invaded a land base already peopled with Indigenous residents, brought in people from Africa and enslaved them, and are now somehow surprised and appalled that these folks are here.

We dont actually have to be doing this. Not any of it. Every part of it is our collective agreement to put up with this and keep letting it go. We can make another decision. Moreover, we WILL. But don't make me wait too long, Harpo

Keeping my day job will require me getting way more hip to new tech and social media tools than I ever wanted or tried to be. I'm in mourning about it. Luckily, there is a long line of young folks waiting to help Boomerated Gen Xers get hip. HA! I GOT JOKES! DOUBLE SPACED PUNCTUATION AND JOKES!

“the constitution forbids race conscious remedies” would be news to the people who wrote the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments

Griem goes there, arguing in response to Justice Jackson that there can be no race-conscious remedy absent a finding of intentional discrimination.

The NHS is changing trans people back to birth sex on file, meaning we will not be treated appropriately for our bodies.

This is deadly, completely unacceptable, and the result of hateful far right ideology in our politics and healthcare.

Just got a call from a lovely but very nervous Dr, who advised I wouldn't be routinely screened for breast cancer because I'm not indicated as being "biologically female" on the central NHS database and my biology wouldn't indicate I'm at risk.

My records have been altered, which is upsetting.

How can I expect my plants to trust me and all my loving care when I eat salad right in front of them? And then complain about eating it to boot!? I got a lot of nerve...

Dreamt I was in my childhood home but there were no lights. Couldn't see anything but knew every corner. I went to find my mother in her room and discovered a strange couple sleeping there. Enraged, I ripped the covers off them. "GET OUT OF MY MAMA'S BED!" All in total darkness. Woke in a rage.

They’re freaking out!!!

Trump’s cabinet secretaries falsely claim Dems are keeping the government closed because of the “No Kings” mass protests, and Mike Johnson calls it the “hate America rally.”

The truth is: we love America, but we hate tyrants. That’s why we’re doing this.

See you Saturday.

Crying real tears today. I was lucky enough to meet this brave, beautiful lady once. She and Monica Roberts were two of the activist legends I most treasure having met in person.

(I met Bayard Rustin but I was a child and don't remember at all. I'm sad about that).
