Girl from the Burgh, made a career in steel. Retired now. Post food, pets & politics. Liberal, if that bothers you-tough. Also petty AF. And: #KHive, always. This is not a dating site. NOT a resister, no automatic follow-back but maybe a Block.
Watching the game just for the halftime show! 🏈

Just posted this on other sites. I had a great day! Got a pedicure, had a wonderful meal, & now chilling on my patio. Determined not to let the bastards wear me down. Probably means watching a movie; debating Austen or Pitch Perfect genre. In the meantime, enjoy the AZ sky.

Great thread!

Quiche in the oven! Simple country version: sausage, cheddar, green onion. Good for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Shell was in the freezer, eggs were from the 18 pack that was on sale at a better price than 12. Sausage was new but half the package is now in the freezer for another day.

Time to quit for a bit. Need to hit the grocery store. Hope the damage isn't too bad, can I keep it under $100 🤷‍♀️

I've been practicing tips from the #StayReady crew but need things like cat litter, foil, plastic wrap & fresh vegetables for salad.

Jay could use our help. Please consider what you can do.
UCLA recently fired me over Bluesky posts about Charlie Kirk. Because of this, I am forced to relocate from (expensive) Los Angeles.

Please consider helping me Rex, Francis, Brutus and Ms. Nero with relocation and living expenses. We have zero income right now.

Anytime I see images from the Oval Office I am gladdened that at least the idiot occupant hasn't found a way to gild all the statues (yet).

Great advice! I got a titer test & my numbers were all good.
If you're an adult, get a titer test to check your immunity to measles, fam. You might need a booster, and it's best to be safe.
Because I'm talking about measles. It is also A VERY VERY VERY CONTAGIOUS VIRUS. If someone is in a room and has measles and then leaves that room and you enter that room within TWO HOURS (depending on humidity) you can get measles.

And people are contagious for four days before the rash appears.

OK, so I wanted to actually watch Schitt$ Creek but it's only on Prime. Just saw an ad for "Melania" 🙅‍♀️

Okay, this was the silly fun I wanted/needed tonight. Want to make sure I got the assignment.

@miladyfirestorm.bsky.social = $50 to Mills.

@mialynneb.bsky.social = same or another candidate?
For those that don’t get snow and like to see it - we have sparkly snow because ice is mixed in and currently have 4 ft drifts.

Yes, listen. Republicans could stop this right now; if they wanted to.

As usual, @pierceah66.bsky.social brings us a lesson. Thank you!
I get that nobody wants to hear it but in a scenario where Dems flip the House, & barely flip or don’t flip the Senate, as Republicans have the presidency, ICE isn’t magically getting abolished. In 2028, even if Dems win a trifecta, you still need a part 2 because the INS hasn’t existed in years.

This 🧵 gives me life today. Thank you @pierceah66.bsky.social
*checks notes*

The majority of white men & women voters who chose this yet again as always since the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Everyone else who voted for it too.

Everyone who sat out

Everyone who voted against it but spent the whole time suppressing the vote

Access journalists normalizing it…
There’s is no shortage of people to blame for this particular moment in American history

Great 🧵, thank you @ariellaelm.com
This weekend was tough. Venezuela threw us all for a loop, which was by design. Trump chose the very end of the Congressional vacation, which also happened to be the deadline the DoJ had to tell Congress what was redacted from the Epstein files.
