I'm just worried about my application for Social Security. I applied before this chaos but haven't been able to check status since. It's supposedly time sensitive, and the portal has been down for weeks.

Russians seem to have a real problem with windows. You'd think they'd make them safer.
Thanks for the laughs. I love Canadians and Canada. Sorry, your lower neighbors are going through some difficult times. I know some of us would love to rent a room for the next 4 there.
Normalize pronouncing DOGE as DOUCHE.
Does โGolden Ageโ refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10โ15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americansโ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?
This was a needed gift, thank you. @markhamillofficial.bsky.social

Another recipe today. I love onions, but no one around here will eat them. So, I have to find ways to make small recipes for myself. These looked good. I learned to cook by reading Southern Living. www.southernliving.com/onion-pattie...
Go, have fun. You'll never know until you go. They can be good times shared amongst those who love the skill and art.
Talking with an old colleague of mine and said, "You can make anything with craft paper, scissors, and glue." We both laughed because you can. We also looked at each other in silence and then laughed again. Those are the trinity of schools.
Senator Chuck Schumer sums it up
We are sad, too. We are watching the dissolution of our government and sanity. It's really hard to watch.
Tariffs on pharmaceuticals are coming. Because health care here isnโt expensive enough. Someone needs to start a daily body count for this administration. * Air traffic casualties * Withdrawal of medical treatments * Stop order on medical research * Tariffs on pharmaceuticals * Foreign aid
The administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration resigned on January 20 after repeated demands from Elon Musk that he quit, leaving the agency without a Senate-confirmed leader during a major crisis in the wake of the D.C. plane crash. https://newrepublic.com/post/190942/faa-no-leader-dc-pโฆ
They are like a guy I know who lies about everything even when the truth is better.

He needs to be vocal and in their face. We're going to need to be louder and stronger.
from today's post โ go read the whole thing. link is here: bit.ly/4h7i06Z
I was going to say it's a flashing red emergency light. Danger is upon us.
Omg ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ thanks for the laughs.
I've applied and submitted info. Now I'm just waiting on the response back.
Yes, but I have to sign up for Medicare through my state retirement system. I don't want to lose that. So I have to have all my ducks in a row before my birthday. Hope they make allowances for this mayhem.
We should know this by now. Everything is someone else's fault.
Pt. 2 has problems we need to air out. We need to be strong and united. It's time to take off the gloves and fight this regime head-on. We are no longer in the old ways. If that means the old guard needs to step down, then so be it. I can not remain quiet. I will call out problems. Don't silence me.
I have been debating myself since last night after being put on a moderation list because I dared speak out. Boomers had a bad habit of hiding their family problems. It doesn't work. If we can't discuss our problems in the open, we're doomed to failure. Our family, meaning the democrats, has...
That's insane. Well, guys, we are back in the 60s again. It's time to put your marching shoes on and fight.
You're welcome. ๐๐ฆ
This was an interesting read. If you like science and math you'd probably enjoy this article. glassalmanac.com/a-linguistic...

I used to save them in college to use as glasses. Now, they hold craft items.
open.substack.com/pub/messageb... This lightened my anxiety a bit.
I was a teacher. I forbid the use of glitter on projects, didn't work. It still made its way into things. It gets everywhere and into everything. Even after showering, I'd still have glitter somewhere firmly adhering to my skin. Lol We called it a disease because it was easy to get but hard to cure.
Update: I tried to access my account on the Social Security website today. Guess what? It was closed, and I was unable to see my information. Yay. Looks like the orange turd is getting in the way of seniors accessing something we paid into our whole lives.
Thank you for this post. The current US view has me in its sights, so I don't need to add to it. Being a gay retiree isn't all disco balls and glitter.
That's really sad. I hate when politicians flip. It's a betrayal to their constituents, the very people who expect you to carry their voices to DC.
Can Fetterman be removed and a real Democrat elected to his seat?
Why just him? Report trump's immediate family. They were all born on US soil from mothers who didn't have citizenship.
The so-called leaders need to step aside and let AOC and Rep. Crockett, our strong leaders, take over.
It will impact a large number of repubs. Well, they voted for that shitbag. FAFO ๐
Do they not understand that tarrifs are a tax that Americans pay?
He's looking for a larger source of his white powder and is afraid the tarrifs will cut into his supply.
I went through their posts, lol. Would love to meet the person that writes them. They gave me a good laugh.
I used to play an online game called Second Life, where I was a steam punk rabbit. I designed his outfit with actual moving cogs and a top hat that emitted smoke puffs. His intro when meeting you had the Ting Tings in the background. It was fun, but it just got to be too much, so I let it go.
Sometimes, you just have to get up and walk out the door.
They say: Italy (๐ท @cleporati ) ๐
He's a sadistic fuck. Where are the Epstein files?
HUGE BREAKING NEWS: Pete Buttigieg is seriously considering running for Senate in Michigan after Gretchen Whitmer says she wouldnโt run for the open seat. Smash that RT if you agree Secretary Buttigieg would make a FANTASTIC Senator!! ๐๐

"big tech lost a trillion dollars" me:
Was working on these little guys earlier and thought they kind of looked like a band on an album cover. What do you think the name and genre of the band would be?
The Fluffies and Punk Rock or Pop. I hear echos of the TingTings in the background.
I refuse to let hateful people have a louder voice than mine.
Turning 65 in April and submitted my application for SS. Wonder how that's going with all of this unnecessary turmoil? It's raining shit all over the USA simply due to a childish moron. May he rest in Hell.
Roux is the lifeblood of Cajun cuisine. It transforms the ordinary into fabulous.
#resist Believe us now? More horrible things coming. Time is running out, please, even if you think we are crazy.... hedge your bets and prepare, just in case.
Fantastic! I wish I could vote for her.
I'd never let ICE take any of my kids. They'd have to put me in cuffs and take me first. Many of my colleagues would do the same.
It's pure fascism. We are now working outside of the norms of a democratic republic. How low can we go? It's only the beginning of week 2 of this regime.
I love that term. I've been using it for a while to describe the orange turd's actions.
I love how the orange turd gets others to do his dirty work. It's the new reality.
This has been forecasted as one of the major points in the beginning of global warming. It has begun... Republicans don't care and they don't like science or hard data. It's up to us to make them listen, if that's even possible. dailygalaxy.com/2025/01/eart...
Thom Tillis is a scumbag. He personally promised Pete Hegseth's sister-in-law that her sworn statement would sway his vote. He ended up being the deciding YES vote, anyway. Tillis up for re-election next year in North Carolina, and he needs to be defeated. #NCSen www.rawstory.com/trump-267100...
Just sayin.....
Dollars to donuts he makes an announcement that heโs come up with the brilliant idea to put them to work on farms and building homes. He will add โNo one ever thought of this before.โ
This only works if millions participate imo but Iโm inโฆ So for those asking โ what do we do โ Start with this maybe ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
I miss seeing those birds. They remind me of back home on the Texas Gulf Coast.
I thought maybe youโd like to see some green for a break from the winter colors. When youโve been editing winter shots itโs easy to forget exactly how green things get in summer. #timothykeeneyphotography #landscapephotography #photography #connecticutphotography #connecticut #waterfall
Your view and composition are always on point. I like to go through your posts to relax. Thanks again for your work. It makes a bad day better.
I haven't posted any cooking/recipe things lately. So here's something that looks great for chocolate lovers. bonnibakery.com/black-tie-mo...
Pup is so cute. That little tail says it all.
Hey there. I just followed you.
This is so true. They want you to feel defeated. You're easier to control when you have no happiness .
I have been wondering how he plans to dissolve same sex marriages? Aren't they legal contracts issued by states? We'll see when we get there. This whole demented regime fucking sucks. It feels like some getting even childish revenge.
I need a few around my house.
I'd rather have an immigrant or farm worker living next to me than any trump supporter.
The more I see you here, the more I learn how wonderful of a person you are. Keep up the great work!
Real life always comes first. My heart goes out to you in this difficult time. Take care of yourself, too. We'll be here collecting all the crazy stuff happening. See you when you get back.
Those are really beautiful. What kind of scent do they have?
Put musk under pressure. I don't think he could handle it and might even sing like a canary.
He's a happy baby now.
Aaaand now this begins. Hate to say we told you so, but we did. Now, where is he going to put these people?
