This was my pinned post in the other place. It really sums me up nicely.

Drawing of a woman sitting in a beanbag chair while reading a book and drinking tea. It portrays the idea of Joy of Missing Out or feeling content with staying in and disconnecting.

“May you always see a blue sky overhead, my young friend; and then, even when the time comes, as it has come for me now, when the woods are black, when night is fast falling, you will be able to console yourself, as I do, by looking up at the sky.” - Marcel Proust

Not really the opportune time to say this, but i'm fine with undocumented people getting Obamacare subsidies.

If Congress starts up again how will we know? It’s never in session anyway….

Can you cover Trump’s health with the same enthusiasm you had for every Biden misstep? Maybe you could even write another book using today’s meeting with the generals as its centerpiece.

As an American, I thought I couldn’t be any more ashamed after watching the buffoon at the United Nations. But then there was the Ryder Cup…. I am SO glad Team Europe won. America is such a disgrace….

I know we’ve all said it many times but it’s mind blowing that his approval rating could be that high…are we all living on the same planet?

Biden did a lot of good things but he screwed us in the end. He should have done one term as he promised and we should have held a primary to pick our candidate. I voted for Harris but would she have won the primary? I just hope the Dems get their shit together this time.

Human beings should never be called illegals. How do you not know that?

Either one will do…

This brought tears to my eyes. All is not lost I guess.

Me too, this is just beyond anything I could have imagined. Have they ever listened to the words that came out of his mouth?

What in the actual f***! I don’t know what being a Democrat even means anymore. The hate spewed by the late Charlie Kirk hardly deserves this tribute.

I'd boycott ABC, but I don't know how to not watch them any harder than I already wasn't.

Did I just read that 95 Democrats voted for the Charlie Kirk resolution in the House? Can that even be true! If it is I don’t know what being a Democrat means anymore.

". . . “Anyway, Thoreau was in jail because he wouldn't pay a tax to support the Mexican War. He didn't believe in the war. And Emerson came to jail to see him. 'Henry,' he said, 'why are you here?' And Thoreau said, 'Ralph, why *aren't* you here?’”. . .”

If you want to make Disney know that firing Kimmel at the behest of Trump isn't acceptable, this seems like good advice.

Post from @bradys.bsky.social

I have been a social media manager for 10 years. If you are upset with a company I BEG you to write a physical letter and put it in a mailbox. 10000 social media comments are a meaningless annoyance that executives brush off. A single letter can send a company into a panic.

The address to target is:

Disney-ABC Home Entertainment and Television Distribution
500 S. Buena Vista St.
Burbank, CA 91521-3515

Come on America, get your shit together and rise up against this buffoon and his fascist policies. Are you really going to be told what to think and how to act?
