The symbolism of old orange face taking a sledgehammer to the east wing just like he’s taking one to our democracy is surreal! #RoyalPOS

Just started reading! Can’t wait to see how it ends!!

It's PUB DAY! My labor of love is finally here! I know most self-pub'd authors sell less than 250 books - EVER - so I'm trying to be optimistically realistic and will only try to break that number by the end of November. 📚💙

Would be thrilled and honored if you checked out my work.

The novel The Grotesque sits on an old wooden floor, lit by a lone spotlight. Text reads: "No more living in the shadows. The Grotesque is here. The countdown to Halloween begins now." At the very bottom, it reads "Available in paperback or digital - discover it on Amazon.com"

Cheese or chocolate—if you had to live without one, which would it be? 🧀🍫 Dieting often feels like that kind of choice. But deprivation backfires. Balance keeps you sane, healthy, and hopeful. Health isn’t about punishment, it’s about living well. Which team are you on? #ILoveCarbs

Woman trying to decide which to give up, cheese or chocolate.

White supremacy isn’t new, it’s always been here. It’ no longer hiding. It’s in our politics, our courts, our daily lives.

Trump sneers “WOKE IS BROKE.” No. Being woke means empathy, conscience, and knowing right from wrong.

Authoritarianism isn’t coming. It’s already here. Silence = complicity.

Thank you Mayor Wu!!

Brain wants to do it all but body says nope! If you’re running on fumes, start small:
1) One “energy anchor” a day you actually enjoy.
2) Guard your time like gold.
3) End with “I did enough” instead of a to-do list in your head.
Which one will you try first?

Here are 5 that actually help:

Fatty fish 🐟

Leafy greens 🥬

Berries 🍓

Nuts & olive oil 🥜🫒

Turmeric, ginger & green tea ☕️

The tiniest changes really can add up to less pain and more energy.

Just found out I have arthritis in my knee, and honestly… it rattled me. I’ve always worked out, eaten well—so why does recovery feel slower and stiffness more constant?

That sent me down a rabbit hole on anti-inflammatory foods—and what I found has been eye-opening. 🧠✨

Brain fog isn’t failure. It’s a sign you’re running on fumes.
Try this:
—Ask “What do I need?” instead of “What’s wrong with me?”
—Finish one small thing
—Rest without guilt

What’s one thing your brain’s been asking for lately?

Yesterday I mourned the loss of:
- healthcare for 5% of Americans
- the thousands of immigrants who will be kidnapped off the streets
- SNAP benefits for innocent children
- Medicaid for millions
- a cleaner planet for my children
- this country's soul

Today I stand up & continue fighting. #fight

Joanne Oscar @joanneoscar.bsky.social · Jul 2

I challenge you all to contact at least 1 friend or family member in a red or swing state or at least those who have a GOP rep to call their reps. I just messaged my sister and brother in Pennsylvania.

Put who you contacted and where they live in the comments and let’s make an IMPACT!!

If you are feeling helpless against fascism, here is one easy thing you can do NOW!!

Joanne Oscar @joanneoscar.bsky.social · Jun 26

Running on fumes? Sore, foggy, wiped out?

You’re not broken — you’re burned out.

Start small: a walk, water, rest before collapse. You matter too.
What’s one thing your body’s asking for today? 💬

Looks like a really good f-ing us of tax payer money there. Glad they’re taking away my elderly father’s Medicare to pay for that.
