A villain era is not about harming others. It is about no longer harming yourself for their comfort.

Stop lighting yourself on fire to keep others warm.

started a doc on HULU. Randomly, Spanish subtitles popped up. Why does HULU all of a sudden think I even know half these words?

Learning a lot tho. “Uh-uh” in English (as in, “no”) is “Ah-ah” in Spanish.

Happy Monday, ALL!

Hope your weekend was filled with as much dancing and gathering and joy as Philly was this weekend, with Pride kickoff and the Roots picnic. It was LIT around here.

Now back to work! (And there was much rejoicing.)

Have a fun one!

Happy Monday, All!

This day is a day of observance in the US for soldiers who died in battle. It was started for Union military, which I wonder if those in the MAGA South know this.

Hope you have an observant week!

I hope legacy media covers the connection between last night's memecoin dinner and this morning's social media tariff threats. He's manipulating the stock market.

Happy Monday, ALL!

Went to #FanExpoPhilly w/ my cosplaying kid & friend. The amateur costuming community is amazing. I’m so inspired, I’m considering starting a dedicated account for cosplaying. It is such a great distraction & joy.

Here’s to a little fun & whimsy in your week. Have a great one!

Gotta say, I love the #Blackcommunity /culture. This is a generalization, I know, but the joy I see in their fandom is unmatched. My kid & his friend went to Fan Expo dressed as characters from a horror game called Mouthwashing. The best reactions came from the Black attendees. Such love & delight.

You know, the thing they said they weren't gonna do after all. Is happening. And is pretty much a HIPAA nightmare and a Nazi first step.

I’m renaming the movie Conclave to:

Here’s something I never thought I would do: contact the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s Forestry Dept.

I have a black walnut tree in my back yard that I don’t want anymore. I want to sell it, but I’m not sure that’s possible. Apparently there are foresters who can tell you these things.

As GenXers we have now entered the “make groaning noises when you stand up” phase. AARP is targeting us like sitting ducks but do they address this?

Whatever. But you know who’s a groaner? YOUR MOM.

Have a jaunty week, people!

BREAKING: SOS Marco Rubio, said that the government can expel legal residents from the country based on 'past, current, or expected beliefs, statements, or associations that are otherwise lawful.'"

Once again: the SOS said that he can expel legal residents from the country for "expected beliefs!”

UAW Supports Medicare for All 🧵

Every working-class person deserves decent health care. No one should have to choose between seeing a doctor and putting food on the table. But that’s exactly what our current health care system does.

I went roller skating this weekend. My kid called it a “side quest.” The exciting part is I didn’t break anything! I beat the final boss.

Hope you roll smoothly through your week! Have a good one.

Conclave is a stupid movie, the ending laughable. But: too bad the studio didn’t wait a few months for release because it’d be a big hit right now with a dead il popa.

Too bad, tho, he seemed like a good guy. Now they’ll choose a real fascist.

Have a democracy-loving week!
