My daughter needed me, I was able to go be with her, I helped make her feel better ❤️AND I went to a candy store while I was there that carries real licorice 🙂
Weekly tradition time: ending the week with some shared joy.

Tell me something good.

What good thing happened in your life this week?

Caught a pretty sunset or lived to see the sun rise seven more times, both work. Just something good.

Total agreement. I have a pool in my yard-it’s a pain in the neck to maintain. Never have I heard of hydrogen peroxide to get rid of algae. The drama is fucking nonsense.
I really don’t have better words for it, I’m just so tired of how much bullshit this administration spews which is readily and immediately debunked, and yet Trump’s cult following just doesn’t care. MAGA is a diagnosis that belongs in the DSM-5, not in our politics.

Kimmel wasn’t fired for his remarks on Kirk—he was fired for using his platform to expose and critique our government. Enough! We especially need large corporations, with the money and influence they have, to fight back. sign.moveon.org/petitions/ki...
Keep Jimmy Kimmel on-air and NO caving to authoritarian censorship!
ABC and Disney must commit to standing up against government censorship. Neither critics, comedians, nor corporations should be scared into submission by MAGA.

Used to see them all the time after it rained in Galway (the NY Galway, that is)
We saw our first little red eft of the year today. If you see one please do not pick it up! Their skin is highly porous and the salt, oils, lotion, sunblock, bug spray, etc. from your hands can make them sick. Use a leaf to move them if they must be relocated for their safety. ❤️

My mother died 49 years ago, she was 39, I had just turned 17. I can only imagine what you go through.
Thanks so much Sarah! My mother is still here and we get along, but its such a drag finding a gift for a 76 year old woman

I did that weeks ago
Quick question: if you could tell your representatives right now to impeach Kristi Noem, would you do it?

Well, here’s your chance:
Tell Congress: Impeach DHS Secretary Kristi Noem

I majored in sociology-I don’t remember all the studies-but I do remember the studies where people behind the glass would shock the people on the other side who could not see them. I’ve always hated Halloween because of the masks, show your face, own it
Kevin M. Kruse on ICE and masks:
"While they might not technically act with immunity, ICE agents are certainly acting with impunity these days. And that comes less from them having the cover of law and more with them having a literal covering of face masks that give them anonymity."
As I noted here, ICE's masks have given them impunity to inflict harm without consequences, just like the Klan.

And just like the Klan, when they're unmasked by new laws, they'll be weakened across the board.

It was kind of annoying to have friends with 0s or 9s in their phone numbers.
Without revealing your actual age,what's something you remember that if you told a younger person they wouldn't understand?

These arrogant pricks don’t expect any type of retaliation, do they?

The fact that I even had to check this tells you everything you need to know about this country right now. It’s not real but it sure didn’t seem impossible

We are so much less-he got that part right
Trump: "I don't want to hear about the affordability, because right now we're much less. If you look at energy, we're getting close to $2 a gallon gasoline."

Better yet, don’t film/take photos at all
Quick reminder for Saturday: please do not post photos of others' faces online without their express permission.

AI facial recognition is a tool of this regime. Don't make anyone else a target unless they're prepared to take the risk and consent.
