lol this was a different time.

basically you should only follow me at this point if you want to see multiple posts daily about how tyranny is bad actually and the very occasional cat pic. That's it. That's all I got.
☺️ Thank you for all the follows!!

Your annual reminder that the most revealing difference between Irish and Scottish Gaelic is definitely in the words for December: Mí na Nollag (Month of Christmas) in Ireland, and An Dubhlachd (the Blackness) in Scotland. So once again may I wish you all a lovely Blackness.

I wanted better for him and for the team. It’s obviously not working, though. Gannon being likable in interviews and composed on the sidelines doesn’t win games; effective coaching does that.

He is not the coach for this team. 😢
Please fire Gannon.

A nice way to cap off watching your main team lose ANOTHER game to sit at 3-9 for the season is to watch one of your other teams finally win something, anything, at the very last second to sit at 3-9 for the season 🫠

Welp, that’s 3-9 for the Arizona Cardinals this season. JFC. It’s basically December and THREE wins.

The injury roster, the ridiculous penalties, two wildly different QB styles for the offensive line to navigate, the Etsy witch curse on the Glendale field, it’s all been so, so, sooo bad. #nfl

Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

This is possibly the most unhinged thing I’ve heard of in modern times from any major world power.

That’s saying a LOT. The fact that it comes as a social media post is just added embarrassment on top of about six different and distinct layers of outrage. Hello? Congress??? Anybody????? #SOS

Thanksgiving Friday with my son and his love. They did most of the cooking yesterday and had their first Thanksgiving in their own place just the two of them, and had me over to watch football and host our lil family dinner tonight. They did such a great job on the food! 🍗🥦🥔

Very proud mama. 🥰

ICE isn’t targeting “illegal immigrants.” They’re targeting trust itself. When you punish people for following the rules, the goal is to break faith in the system so power can operate without accountability. That’s how democracies die—quietly, bureaucratically.

When a politician says: we’ll deregulate health insurance and send you a “freedom account” check, ask: freedom to buy what? If insurers don’t offer real policies or can cherry-pick only healthy people, that money is a coupon for a store that’s not open.

Today on Native American Heritage Day, we honor indigenous cultures whose influence and contributions are evident in communities across the country. Arizona is a special place, and the 22 tribes that call our state home are a big reason for it.

Dad’s been gone 15 years this summer but I’m still learning new things about his life. For example, TIL it’s 95% likely he met Buzz Aldrin!

And now I have an autographed copy of Buzz’s book to geek out over & pass down to my son. (Plus Buzz’s business card, which is also pretty geek-out-worthy.)

TRUMP: If you look at Somalia, they are taking over Minnesota.

REPORTER: What do the Somalians have to do with this Afghan guy who shot the National Guard members?

TRUMP: Ah, nothing. But Somalians have caused a lot of trouble. They're ripping us off.

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

Okay… I prefer the discover feed bc it’s a lot of folks I follow, but also a bunch I don’t, which is normally good. EXCEPT.

I’ve never had this issue on any other site, but there’s too many freaks here and the lack of algorithm means ignoring and blocking doesn’t teach bluesky not to show me them 😭

One thing I wish would make a comeback is stationary phones. I don’t like that people have the capacity to speak with me on the same thing I listen to podcasts on. That should be its own thing that has its own dedicated room in the house and I should have to wear a suit to use it.
