Cream-colored text on a textured teal background that says, "Hello, friends! I’m a millennial navigating a challenging world with big dreams and a love for connecting with like-minded people. I have a lot of hobbies and I like to talk about them (hiking, art, botany, collecting, gaming, and books are just a few things I might mention). I value good character in friends and have no tolerance for racism, sexism, homophobia, or MAGA ideology. I’m excited to connect with other people who feel the same way. Thank you for following me!".

It actually doesn’t matter who’s in the Epstein Files. It doesn’t matter if the list is full of names we know or if it’s just random people.

SOMEONE’S in the files and so far, numerous people have gotten away with hideous crimes because Republicans are protecting them.

(He’s in the files though)

I’ve been significantly under the weather the last few days. 😩

My posts will be a bit sparse while I recover —but don’t worry. I haven’t gone anywhere!

I feel this. I haven’t specifically been watching Hallmark movies but I’ve been gravitating toward movies and TV shows that are more lighthearted lately . Sometimes you need to watch something with low stakes to offset how critical real life can be.

Thanks! Yeah, EA is definitely on my shit list too. I love Sims but I’m not giving them my money anymore.

Bonus perks for switching: Haptic controller, new optimized games, fewer annoying ads, lower subscription costs.

I’m pretty excited. 🙌

Here’s everything I traded in. 2 Xboxes, 2 controllers, 2 headsets, and a ton of games.

A peek into a cardboard box, which contains all of the items I traded in today to switch to PS5.

JAUNTYMOOSE @jauntymoose.bsky.social · 3d

It’s official. I TRADED MY XBOX FOR A PS5.

Doing this means I lose all of my Sims packs and ESO subscription benefits. 😭 Worth hundreds.

But it’s worth it. FUCK MICROSOFT. I even traded in my Hogwarts Legacy PS5 game. I bought it used but I don’t want to see it on my shelf anymore. Fuck her too.

They also want to know why state employees like the police and the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois have been blatantly assisting ICE instead of protecting state residents.

JAUNTYMOOSE @jauntymoose.bsky.social · 4d

Looking at the comments, it’s clear that a lot of people want to know why Pritzker doesn’t call up his own guard to assign them to other tasks or to defend Illinois.

JAUNTYMOOSE @jauntymoose.bsky.social · 4d

The regime intends to federalize 300 Illinois National Guard troops. Gov. Pritzker has indicated that he will do nothing.

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 4d

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

This is sound legal advice.

My suggestion: Don’t assume this will never happen to you. Watch this video on repeat until you have it memorized.

Absence of healthcare will undoubtedly spike homelessness, bankruptcy, severe illnesses, and death for large numbers of people.

It’s sad because most of my generation hasn’t really lived. Everything we do is centered around survival and some of us won’t even be able to do that.

JAUNTYMOOSE @jauntymoose.bsky.social · 5d

I don’t know anyone my age (30’s) who could afford a doubled premium. I think most people would cancel their coverage or go into serious debt trying to keep it.

This is deeply concerning because many people are already going into credit card debt just to afford groceries.

Recently, I’ve been added to multiple “AI profile pictures” blocklists.

I don’t know whether I should be flattered or insulted. 😂

My profile picture, banner, and images from my outdoor adventures are always real photographs, taken by me. I don’t even use filters or photoshop.

JAUNTYMOOSE @jauntymoose.bsky.social · 6d

Love it!

I am devastated to hear this news. The world lost a wonderful human today.

Of all the best and kindest humans to ever live, Jane Goodall is near the top of my list.

Rest in Peace, you beautiful soul.

On behalf of the earth, I thank you
