Just an old, cranky, curious woman who wanders and ponders and occasionally does it with a fly rod or a camera in hand.

FLASHBACK: “I say this to my Republican colleagues who are defending the indefensible: There will come a day when Trump is gone, but your dishonor will remain.”
While Newsome has hilariously cornered the market on this brand of mockery, I think other Democrats should try some of their own. Like maybe every time the press asks what they think of something Trump said or did, they should respond - "oh, you mean the predator in Chief? Epstein's friend?"
Late last night I mapped crime rates for cities in OH, SC and WV to show how often they exceeded the rate in DC — where those states’ governors are sending National Guard troops to “combat crime.” www.pbump.net/o/more-peopl...
Goose-stepping Nazis.
I have been a NPR listener for years and while I mourn the loss of public funding, I am loving NPR with the gloves off - and am tripling my donations this year.
This women is fire. I need a bracelet with the initials WWLJD.
New York will go to war for that woman. At least this New Yorker will.
I have always said if "the market" was so good for the rest of us, none of us would have access to it. As it is, we just provide the money for those who are rigging the system.
Oh what a waste of an opportunity.
It does alarm me, but right now, it is all just alarms going off.
Well that will kill AI - and maybe that's a good thing.
The meritocracy at work.
OMG - I would so love to see one of those creatures. That alone would make the trip for me.
The Amazon has always pulled me - I have no idea why. It just always has, starting with my first "book report". It seems there are so many mysteries and so much to discover in that vast watershed. Officially jealous:)
But would it have been your last cast?
What an adventure! And what's that on your face?
President Ocasio-Cortez.
Our country is a joke.
We knew this right? Certainly Hillary did. www.zmescience.com/science/news...
It's straight up theft of our stuff! Light of day thievery. We have been investing in this rare and wonderful resource for decades and they stole it from us. It is one of the legacies the working class would leave future generations. I think we take it back. I don't know how, but I know we must.
Well done sistah - 40 years this October. I still pinch myself that I got a chance at this life I couldn't have dreamed of 40 years ago.
Orange Monday. Acrylic on canvas. 🍊
I sent an email to them indicating their willingness to bend to this regime ended all of our support.
The removal of Trump's two impeachments from your archives proves the organization has become nothing more than a political tool, not a trustworthy source of information. So very sad and so very shameful."
Sent this to them today. "Our family has been a gift subscriber to the Smithsonian for several years and we have donated in the past. All that ends with your willingness to bend to the will of the current regime.
This is going to be legally challenged right?
And the perpetually apologetic left will point to this dialogue as mocking elitism instead of a logical defense of one's own expertise and well-informed opinion.
Neither. The only group I see mocking others is the far right, Christians and Trumpers. As a member of the LGBTQ community, I am pretty fucking familiar with mockery. Do some individuals on the left mock? sure - but as a group, that isn't our schtick - it's the utter opposite in fact.
And their looks and intelligence at every turn. He mocks brown people and immigrants, as does his followers. So, tell me again who is mocking who exactly? And those you are accusing of mockery, do you know for a fact they are liberals? I suspect there was a time you would have included Elon.
Well I simply don't - not as a group. I see them challenge faulty logic and prejudice. I see them share an opinion and I see them argue for all the things that would help anyone who is experiencing hardship. I see the opposite coming from conservatives and Christians - and our POTUS. He mocks women
Not just fair, but good. Good for all of us. If my neighbors can't afford to feed their children, my own life is diminished. If we can't care for the sick, my own health is in jeopardy. If others don't get the education they deserve, the strength of our nation is compromised.
Scotland’s signs are delivering. Y’all understood the assignment. 😂
The man predicted the future and he told you exactly how it was going to happen, too
And you took a page directly from their book when you piled on trans folks. Be better.
Who is mocking people for not being able to read? I went to college, got a master's degree, worked around a bunch of wicked smart folks, have friends from all walks of life, but the only people I have ever heard mock other's misfortunes were conservatives, Christians and Republicans.
You all have lost your gottam minds.

WATCH — @anakasparian.bsky.social unleashes on Shabbos Kestenbaum: “No, I’m gonna let you filibuster, b*tch… I can’t stand it. It’s unbearable.”
Thanks Deb:)
And now we know what dogs dream of - hot dogs, flies, hot dogs that look like John Prine, other dogs, chickens doing pull ups, good and bad, and just John Prine. Of course. youtu.be/B5VbUmIcXug?...
Thanks Dave - and Happy Bastille Day to you!
Yes, mostly because it is my birthday and it is also the day heads rolled and well yes, I also intend to eat cake and make a wish for our own Bastille Day.

I am feeling a turning tide. I do believe this regime is on the verge of feeling it too.
THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS!!!!! ✊
One of the fallouts of the Emergency Management Act was the poisoning of Flint. Most of the people responsible for poisoning thousands of Michiganders walked free.
Michigan did this with the emergency management act. The voters overturned the then Republican Governor's ability to literally take over city and school governance. The gerrymandered legislature overturned the will of the people and made it referendum proof.
What choice are they giving us?
Agreed! We were just talking about you yesterday up here in the North Country. We all agreed you are the best damn AG in the US. We feel blessed that you call this state home and chose to dedicate yourself to public service.
I think it is amazingly hard to pull apart gender from social expression, social hierarchy, oppression and cultural constructs. I am not always clear that gender as a pure form of identity exists.
Breaking down the wild week that MAGA has had.
Spot on Michael. If they do just those two simple things, they will start winning elections - certainly the ones they should win - and possibly some long shots.
I am going to fill my cart and then forget to check out. If enough of us do that, it would be a very good thing.
We are honoring #AmazonCrimeDay by supporting a movement to boycott it. Amazon’s profits are built on worker injuries, union busting, and surveillance—and we’re done rewarding their exploitation. We are #BetterThanAmazon. Let’s stand up to the monopoly and its billionaire founder by stepping away.
The more I see him with his puffy face and blood shot eyes, the more hopeful I am.
Even if they did commit crimes, the treatment they are receiving is itself criminal.

She apparently didn't get the memo that those able-bodied people are already working. Nitwit.
One simple search and he would have discovered that there are a myriad of methodological issues with the studies he references. Masks work, but like condoms, they need to be used correctly and consistently.
it is political. Always has been. That being said, the profession does its best to follow the science - but is often thwarted by the politics, the funding, or simply the natural shortcomings of science - namely we don't know what we don't yet know. In regards to Covid, the author was just sloppy.
This author does not understand public health. First public health is part of the uniformed services division. Its mission is to help protect the health of Americans as prioritized and funded by the legislative branch and implemented within the executive branch. In other words,
It is just naked corruption.
Interesting. Americans could have just voted for the woman who was telling them this would be her focus.
James Baldwin's words still ring true.
Would love to play poker with that schmuck. He has a tell - whenever his mouth is moving.
Spent a little time in Brockville Ontario yesterday after the Elbows Up rally. Driving from northern New York to Brockville is like driving from a third world colony to a first world democracy. We need to open our damn eyes. We are little more than chattel for the filthy rich.
Socialism improves and saves lives. Capitalism - not so much.
No the reason is because Americans voted for a racist corrupt sexist pig. That simple. We are the voters, not the party. We royally effed up.
First time home buyer assistance. She also had concrete plans to help lower health care costs and expand health care coverage. She was the dream candidate - apparently you prefer a nightmare.
Apparently you weren't listening Eleanor. She was the first candidate to ever talk about supporting in home care in a real way. She spoke about lowering taxes for the middle and lower class and increasing taxes on the super wealthy. She has plans to expand child care support, student debt relief and
I imagine how different things would be if you were in the oval office - and it breaks my heart.
I am quite surprised a gunned up America hasn't responded to this in a predictable manner. I mean there are driveways around me I wouldn't even consider turning around in. If I was masked, I could bank on being shot.
The vampire has been about many things in many cultures, anxieties about infection/blood, sex, death, and the power of women’s bodies (the yakshi in Kerala, for eg), but in modern societies there is truly no more vampiric an entity than the billionaire seeking power, longevity and even more wealth
Around here, we throw thick chunks of overcooked meat to the chickens. They'd make quick work of that boy.
This is the one boycott I think is doable, potentially effective and imperative.

What I support or don't support is also free speech - how is it you don't get that?
Done
I hate that fucking shit.
No Democrats voted for it.
They deserve to lose more than power. Viva la Revolution!
Many of the apathetic masses voted for exactly this. They are both apathetic and cruel.
I need a hat that reads: Hillary was right about everything!

Luckily I live in an area with strong barter traditions. On the other hand, we are last in the commercial food truck stop. Living in interesting times is an understatement. The one thing I know for sure, America as we thought we knew her is dead. What rises from the ashes is on us.
You just described the people who vote for him. He is them. They are him. Hillary was right about everything.
I don't know, families already stretched, decreased SNAP and a full summer of having to cover all the food needs of their families and it will be tough. Our grocery bill was about 15% higher than normal last week. Just two old ladies to feed here - not young growing bodies.
They need to stop showing up and we need to start making sure they don't have to.
I have already seen food inflation, especially on fresh foods. Luckily we have a CSA and chickens, but I think this is going to be a very tough summer for a lot of families.
One wonders what secret powers the females in Tacoma had to ward off psychopathy.
Thanks for sharing. Now he was an American treasure.
May the rest of their days on earth be drenched with the dread of knowing what awaits them in hell.
Do you hear the people sing?
"betters" should be rewarded for allowing us any crumbs at all.
This will happen before the actual cuts go into place, as Medicare will also be hit due to administrative rules. It is likely we could see elders lose all health care due to reductions in benefits coupled with barriers to care. This was a vile bill passed by Republicans who have long felt that our
One rural hospital in Nebraska made the decision today to close their doors saying they could not weather the impending Medicaid cuts. We will lose hospitals and health care providers in the north country and we already know how hard it is to even get an appointment here.
