Was on State Street in Madison, WI once and a guy wearing leather jacket, pants, boots, adorned with metal, and sporting several silver jewelry items like nose ring, earrings, and necklace asked me for spare change. I told him to go pawn himself.
Retired cabbie. Gramma. Owner of pocket puppies. I write. Fiercely liberal. Don't follow me unless you are going to interact with me. Also, don't follow me.

Actually, yes. Only it was vodka. And it just created more problems. Thirty years later, it's now Sunny D and ibuprofen.
I must have missed something...What? What did Bluesky do?

Than you fail to understand acting and actors.
THIS! This is why we're the good guys!

Anything with this asshole in it.
The cheering love shown to Platner at this rally is enough for me to feel a glimmer of hope.
Ohhh, nooo...I love this man. Immensely. He was Oneida, from the Canadian tribes. What a great, great man. What a terrific actor.
I planted a seed in a pot, and have spent the last 7 days waiting for it to sprout. Earlier this afternoon, I spotted the tiniest glimmer of pale green peeking out of a clump of dirt, and nearly sang out of happiness. After my nap, I walked into the kitchen and found the pot on the floor.
The only thing I'd buy for myself is an earthship home. The rest goes to food pantries, St. Jude's kids, building tiny houses for the homeless, veteran's orgs., paying off peoples' debts, buying cars for working folks, creating food gardens in poor neighborhoods, animal charities, and much more.
He wasn't part of my childhood, but yeah.
We had a couple Cosby comedy albums in the house when I was a kid. We watched "Dennis The Menace". We watched "I Spy" and "The Cosby Kids". I used to love Woody Allen movies. Then I got old, and discovered they were all monsters. It's very difficult now to look back on anything with fondness.
Bless the man. Bless him. Bless his family. I'm not someone who prays so much as I bitch at the Universe about stuff. Imma go bitch right now and ask why this good soul is stricken with this awful disease when all these evil shits are still upright and sucking good oxygen from the rest of us.
Brought tears to me. My late sister's late dog, Spirit, was this enormous black dog who loved every living creature on the planet, and always got excited over even the tiniest of creatures. His face would light up, and he'd sniff, dance, and look up you with this expression that said "This is COOL!"
This is the way
Patton is a terrific storyteller. youtu.be/Rh9Y1CXmBbg?...
Aye, lad... *sigh*
This isn't true.
standing up loudly against the lawlessness of the s.o.b. and his lackeys, and are getting attention for it, making them potential candidates in the eyes of a handful of media acolytes/political talking heads? War is coming, and here you are psychically predicting the political ambitions of a few.
"Clearly". Care to share the reasons why you think any or all of them are "clearly" interested? Anyone on their teams say something to that effect? Quotes from the people themselves? Written memos? Anything? Or, is it just that these people in particular are actively resisting the Orange Fascist,
Thank you. Your good opinion means more to me than gold.
Either start actually fighting for us, or get the fuck outta government. That means ordering arrests of these fascist assholes destroying the country. Goddamnit, do you actually think anyone gives a fuck about anything other than you grubby mfs actually DOING something to stop this???
On Tuesday, I'm going to do something exhausting: I'm going to call every goddamned Democratic senator and congresscritter and demand they get off their strongly-worded asses and get their concerned butts out the door and into the streets, and start actually fucking FIGHTING for us.

Absolutely, dear heart. I wrote this earlier this year about this very thing, although I missed the capitalistic part.

Ya know...I'm nearing 70. Eyesight: Meh. Physical: Not. General health: Fuck. I'm perfect for the next MAGA mouthpiece. Except for one thing:
Just watch out for things like this!! bsky.app/profile/jona...

Yeppers. I get that, friend. It was a point of contention for myself as well. Where people like you and I and many other see these assholes for what they are and react accordingly, Obama was way too conciliatory towards them.
Here's some math: Fuck off.
My spouse/partner confronted his hoarding by donating his dead car to Habitat For Humanity. I think he deserves applause.
Perhaps it's true that if enough people focus their energies on a single purpose, that the purpose will manifest.
I'm not going to defend him on this, although I have a slightly different perspective. I'll say that he was a decent prez, but not the fiery presence we need now. I mean, we need a fucking menacing giant with cunning and intelligence and some heat in the belly to stop this evil, shitty coup.
Once again, I find myself out of the loop. I've seen several posts hinting that he's dying, but not one news report hinting at it. Then again, media's a cunt, so perhaps the internet rumors are more true.
Roughly 10 yrs. ago, but he still makes sense. When Part 1 ends, Part 2 pops up. youtu.be/0rR9IaXH1M0?...
Nobody listened to Jim Jeffries, dammit.
Deeply touching. Lovely man. I'd have had a cuppa with him in a heartbeat. Losing oneself to find oneself. How appropriate for me, especially during this time of my life. What a wonderful idea this young man brought to fruition. I want to see more of this. Blessings, Jonathan. 🌺
Who fucking cares. The ride-share companies listed here destroyed my profession as a cab driver. I hope both companies go belly up and all their investors end up penniless.
I fucking hate that musical. I hate everything about it. I hate it almost as much as I hate "Carousel".
Oh, c'mon, brother D. You don't expect him to actually KNOW what's in the bible, do you?
I trust Gowdy about as much as I trust Trump at a modeling show.
Or, I shoot 1 thug, the rest realize someone actually is going to shoot back, and run like hell, shoot themselves in the foot, or other people like myself unload our weapons on the rest of them. Soldiers aren't doing the kidnapping, you fucking asshole. They're gravy seals-civilians with guns.
"Using FOX News to support your argument is like claiming you’re a marine biologist because you watch SpongeBob."
Here's another right people may not understand: If some masked motherfucker with no ID rolls up on you and tries to kidnap you, shoot the sonuvabitch. Self-defense. Stand your ground. Armed resistance. They're killing us and this nation.
Stupid cunt's taking her money and running. Even someone as stupid as her can see what's coming.
We watched "Mississippi Burning" again last night. It appears that fucking state hasn't changed in centuries.
the men in the family. I mean, cruel. There may be a genetic component to evil...I don't know and don't care. What does matter is this ugly, arrogant, idiotic sonuvabitch has been given the power to do exactly what you said, Jim. I'm old, feeble, and not worth a shit as a fighter, but I'm ready.
That family...Jeezuz. My mother, being an Irish immigrant, worshipped JFK and RFK. When I became intensely interested in American history, I discovered what absolute shits they both were personally and professionally. There's even a book out now about how badly the Kennedy women were treated by
A very difficult thing to absorb. Particularly when that dislike comes from a loved one.
They want to kill people off. Seriously. The less old, disabled, frail, poor people the more money for them.
I don't think it would be as good a flour as Gold Medal for things like pie crust or biscuits.
They really were a terrific band. I still think "Rosanna" is one of the greatest rock songs ever written.
My mom used Gold Medal, too. I use King Arthur's Flour because it's an employee-owned company and their flour is organic and healthy. For some reason, I can only buy Gold Medal at our local Kroger's in very small packages.
Then, let's be done with posting. Time for fighting. I'm an old woman, ailing and somewhat shaky. Yet, I am not afraid to die to save this nation, or the life of anyone being snatched by government thugs. Who's with me?
Tonight's movie menu: "Mississippi Burning" "Gladiator"

Inspired to post a musical answer to everyone calling Trump an asshole and a traitor. youtu.be/-YAMbLHcS-8?...
There's more! My late dear friend Margot used to throw theme parties. 1 yr. it was "The Broken Hearts Party", held on Valentine's Day. Everyone brought something from a former lover to burn in a campfire, after incantations and curses and laughs. We played "Love Stinks" for the rituals!
J. Geils-Big part of my youthful soundtrack. This song in is one of the best. I once broke up w/ a guy I'd been dating because he was a lying, cheating asshole. Right after I broke up w/ him, I had to go to work. On the way in, I turned on the radio and this song came on. I laughed and laughed.
A 4-Chan message board is now in charge of America’s health and pandemic defense.
Yesterday morning, I dropped my kids at school for their first day of the year. And just hours later, parents in Minneapolis dropped their children for the last time. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...
S.O.B. says he thinks it might be a great idea to start a war just so he can cancel the 2028 elections. If any MAGAt had only one working brain cell, they'd understand that statement to mean he doesn't give a flying fuck about human life as long as he gets his way with everything.
That festering pile of shit doesn't know what love is.
No. We're of the filthy poor, so we use every shred of soap in the house before opening up a new bar.
We have to put up with endless, bloody school shootings because some Americans can’t have their freedom of firearms impinged, but you can’t get a Covid vaccine shot if you want one because RFK Jr. doesn’t care for them? Do I understand this correctly?
My liver and my brain are very grateful that I never felt the compulsion to attend a Burning Man event. Especially now, after finding out there's an Orgy Dome.
bsky.app/profile/cybr... Avoid this troll at all costs. Not a trans person. Not an ally.
google news, than fuck off. You're not defending your community, you're just being a lying sack of shit.
There are multiple news reports, you furious git. Telling the motherfucking truth isn't attacking anyone. I felt shitty the moment I read that this person could be trans b/c I knew MAGAts would attack the community, one of whom is my niece. Go fuck yourself, bitch. If you can't take two seconds to
And, it's not blatantly false. Please apologize or fuck off. Whatever's easiest for you.
And by the way, there are multiple news reports citing this person's identification as trans.
Read some more. Don't be such an asshole, if you can.
It fits that the main color of all the walls and decor is white.
As soon as I read that she was trans, I inwardly groaned b/c of exactly what you just said. Goddamn America.
"white male"
I would have preferred that she be a while male Trump supporter, since the violence and hatred seems to rest with people like that, but she wasn't. It's horrifying enough, but now MAGAts will point to her being trans as the reason for murdering children. Just don't contribute to lies, please.
Please don't post memes with false information. Not on Bsky. The shooter was a person who applied for and received permission to change his name to a female while young because he identified as female. So, she was a trans person, and no where have I seen indications that she was a Trump supporter.
I hear you, dear man. I hear you.
I dunno, dear. I just don't know... I hope you and Bill and fur pals are doing well. I'm ordering coffee to benefit Tails next month. Dog help us all...
So the sandwich guy ... beat the wrap
Exactly. That whole horrifying situation made me nauseous. Still does. Haven't given him a thought since, nor his movies. He can fucking choke for all I care.
Well, he can blithely walk straight into hell.
The silliest things can sometimes mean a door into utter joy.
Tell 'em, lad! Please, my Oz brothers and sisters---DON'T BE LIKE AMERICA! Be better!
ethnic group, race, religious background, party affiliation, and economic status. And, he does it not by pandering but by paying attention; not by bribery but by morality; not by intimidation but by courtesy, education, and kindness. I'm thinking of moving back to Illinois, and he's the reason.
home state since the Daley years, and JB is nothing like his predecessors. Nothing. He's honest. He's blunt. He's unafraid to assess, think, mull, and determine what's to be done in the best interests of everyone. I've never seen a political figure in Illinois who has united people from every
this big bear of a man, indebted to no one and staunchly progressive in his soul, comes into the fray and firmly takes the reins, not as a tyrant, but as a fiercely protective uncle would if his family were threatened. JB treats his state like his family. I've followed the political scene in my
My mother would be so proud of JB. Mom fought w/ Dan Walker's admin. many years ago when he was guv, and won her battle. It's where I get my orneriness. Illinois politics, in my lifetime, has been a tumultuous and clan-driven battle, marked by corruption and almost religious party loyalty. Then
I have this belief that all of our little pocket puppies (rats) who have gone over the Rainbow Bridge, will be there waiting for us when we cross over, and we will be swarmed by all our little furry love buddies. I know that's not everyone's idea of heaven, but it's ours. I love animals.
