Hi. We’re not actually burning to the ground.

Where are the insurrectionists? Maybe I didn’t look closely enough or they were taking a break for a soy latte.

It’s horrifying in the South Park Blocks.

Enjoying a lazy Saturday in #WarRavagedPortland. At some point I’m going to have brave the outside world for a Write Around Portland fundraiser. I heard it’s absolutely beautiful out there. Pray for me.

He has no rizz. Remember his visit to the donut shop?
Meidas Touch tweeted at 10:36 AM on August 22, 2024: JD Vance had a very awkward visit to a donut shop in Georgia. Trust us, it’s worse than you even think.” The photo clipped from a video shows JD Vance standing at the glass counter talking to a worker who is blurred out because she said, “I don’t want to be on film.” His advance team was inept or they didn’t respect him. Maybe both.

I’ve been collecting some great memes and skeets. Here’s one:

Text: “Collared greens and seasoned chicken at the Vatican.” Text thread: 1) “And he’s from the South Side of Chicago, the baddest part of town;” 2) “Pope Leroy Brown the First would have been better, but Leo is close enough;” 3) “I’m now humming this;” 4) Your earwig for the day.” Link to YouTube video. Text thread: 1) Black People - All in favor of referring to the Pope as Pope Leroy? 2) I like Leroy, but I also like Pope Jamaal and Pope Reggie; 3) I thought we went with Leon.

@theferocity.bsky.social wanted to make sure you saw this.
Elie Mystal post,”Anyway, Pope’s grandfather is Haitian. We kind of got a Black Pope. “End Woke” is not going to be happy about this. :)”. @TheGlaistig reposting Elie Mystal writes, “Holy smokes - we got us a part Haitian + New Orleans Creole-descended POPE?! Black folks: Oh, that’s Pope Leon.” Pictured: a Black boy in the foreground holding up his right fist near his mouth. There’s a white boy standing next to him. They are both looking off to the side.

Cubs. And he’s from the South Side so not sure how that happened.
“According to someone who knows Pope Leo, he’s a Cubs fan and according to that person, Pope Leo is obviously used to suffering.”

Nah.
Pope Leo XIV as Cardinal Prevost clapping back at JD Vance on February 3, 2025 stating “JD Vance is wrong: Jesus doesn’t ask us to rank our love for others.” Includes a link to an article in the National Catholic Reporter. JD Vance is pictured being a total asswipe as usual.

Xander and Pikka napping and reminding me of the beauty and joys in my life.

Breathe.
Two cats napping on a bed. They are curled up with their heads touching. The darker younger cat is curled up into the older orange-ish cat. Pikka (the orange-ish cat) is a great big sister to Xander (the darker cat.)

#handsoffPDX poster that reads “Eat the Rich” in large red letters at the top of the sign and showing an orca/killer whale breaching the water with its mouth open and a word bubble that reads “yummy!” #handsoffPDX sign that reads, “There will be hell toupee.” There’s a flame by the word hell and a blond toupee at the bottom that looks like the hair of the felon occupying the White House. #handsoffPDX two protest signs that read, “Don’t Give Up” with four colorful flowers decorating it and “They will ask where you were.”

Sen. Rick Scott, this you?

It’s always projection with the GOP.
March 3, 2014 Politifact page that says the claim by the Florida Democratic Party that Rick Scott oversaw the largest Medicare fraud in nation’s history is mostly true.

I saw my first bee of the season in my garden.

And not random: I took a day trip to SF from Portland to see Amy Sherald’s exhibit at SF MOMA. Phenomenal. Exhibit closes March 9th. Go see it if you can.

@nature.org I wonder if this is what your donor base will look like after your gutless and shameful obeisance to an anti-science climate denier who will never support you. Have you not noticed that everything he touches dies?

Here are my top 5 accomplishments that I sent to [email protected]:
My top 5 accomplishments this week: 1. Once again this week I did not comply in advance. 2. I am still not a Nazi. It's not hard. You should try it. 3. I went to my weekly boxing class and did not chant "Fuck you, Donald Trump" and "Fuck you, Elon Musk" during the knock-out rounds. 4. For a few minutes during church I did not hate my enemies. 5. I spent time with close friends and found ways to be joyful. I wonder how much better the world would be if you treated people with kindness and respect and had actual friends instead of sycophants. Bless your (evil) hearts, Someone who believes that democracy is worth fighting for (she/her)

Here @pontifexes.bsky.social specifically claps back at JD Vance:
Text of section 6 of Pope Francis’ letter: 6. Christians know very well that it is only by affirming the infinite dignity of all that our own identity as persons and as communities reaches its maturity. Christian love is not a concentric expansion of interests that little by little extend to other persons and groups. In other words: the human person is not a mere individual, relatively expansive, with some philanthropic feelings! The human person is a subject with dignity who, through the constitutive relationship with all, especially with the poorest, can gradually mature in his identity and vocation. The true ordo amoris that must be promoted is that which we discover by meditating constantly on the parable of the “Good Samaritan” (cf. Lk 10:25-37), that is, by meditating on the love that builds a fraternity open to all, without exception. [3]
