Corny as Kansas in August. Flibbertigibbet. Manic pixie dream crone. Crafty. Old at heart. Trying to get by in the PNW with my dog Jazmine and my cat roommates Julip & ZsaZsa.
This a CAT checkpoint. Show me the most recent cat image on your phone.

This is the thing I think trolls, etc don't understand: Once I block you I literally never think about you again. Shit, five minutes after I block someone I don't remember who they are or why I blocked them. They simply and literally don't exist for me anymore. If this is a victory for you, fine.
Some of y’all must have a blocking kink. It’s weird — you’re intentionally rude, obstinate or worse — in my replies as it daring me to block you as it gains you something. I won’t remember two minutes from now.

I literally saw a post two weeks back in which a guy with two jobs was flagellating himself because he was short on rent, lamenting that had he donated plasma more, maybe his rent would be on time. This system is deeply fucked. Earth is a pleasure cruise for 1000 people and we're all just the staff.

I am so impressed with these people who will move heaven and earth to elect an inexperienced trust fund child with a Nazi tattoo, fuck children to keep Newsom from office and then wonder aloud why we have zero respect for them.
Now that lobster Nazi is back in the discourse, here is my reminder that if you show up demanding people to not only forgive but politically support someone who hasn’t repaired the damage they’ve done, you’re communicating that you are not safe to be around.

Tell you what I’m OVER: The patronizing framing of feature stories marveling at how moms are throwing down right now for their communities. Come on. They’re constantly doing this emotional labor, planning, and work. It is not a stretch to assume their *skills* can be put to use on a larger scale.

i think you can judge how free - or not - our political media is by the fact that elon musk literally did a sieg heil (twice) at a rally and it’s still seen as uncouth and overly partisan (in legacy media) to describe his politics as straightforwardly white supremacist.

I would proffer that part of the distinction is not techies versus non-techies, but staff that do much more hands-on work versus management.
VPs and directors think that it works, junior engineers and code maintainers want to have a word.

I am Graham Platner's age. I too was in the post 9/11 military. I also grew up in a small town in the Northeast US. I am also a college dropout with PTSD. And I am telling you: anyone from my demographic who had a Nazi tattoo for 15 years is either a Nazi or too dumb to be an effective US senator.

My main opinion on Graham Platner is if there was a 41 year old guy running in the Republican primary for the Maine Senate seat and it turned out that he had a Nazi tattoo for 15 years and then he claimed that he just didn't know it was a Nazi tattoo, none of you would ever stop screaming about it.

They lie about everything
The acting director of ICE told Congress, under oath, that local law enforcement in Colorado leaked raid plans, allowing gang members to escape.
After 9NEWS questioned ICE's claim and its timeline, ICE deleted the claim from its social media platforms.
