Love to see this! Thank you!!!
I saw this post, then saw the videos, and I had to double check this was referencing the same presser. Voice weak? He sounds exactly like he always does. I don’t get making shit up like this. There’s plenty to be concerned about without bs takes on his demeanor when video is so readily available.
What room is that?
Like conservatism is genetic?
Can’t you just turn that feature off? Or is that not a thing on some models. It is on ours.
This was my exact, instant thought!
they should invent articles you cannot share without reading first
Childhood dream achieved! Went to Cyndi Lauper’s Farewell Tour tonight, and it was so much fun. I love her, love that she hasn’t changed!
I am America. On one side, descended from colonists. On the other, 1st gen immigrants. I’m a Mom, a volunteer, and a military spouse, from the melting pot of the DMV, where we were taught to respect the courage to throw your hat in the ring and try for the American dream. @hcrichardson.bsky.social
I believe they consider this a bonus. Depraved, the lot of ‘em.
I love that you share everyone’s responses. My feed fills with book covers and it makes me happy. I’m listening to The Enchanted Greenhouse and reading a hard copy of The Ragpicker King.
I wish I could say I was shocked. But I’m not a liar.
I moved here last summer, and did my first airport drop off 10 days later in a thunderstorm. I was terrified by my inability to see the lanes coming through Tacoma. Next time I told my husband to drive himself and pay to park. Nuh uh. Not doing that again.
View from my spot on the sofa tonight. Twin black tailed deer fawns. Mama went by shortly before and set off the motion light so I was on the lookout for the babies. They must be so hungry. They eat at all hours it seems!
Of all the people I’ve known that have been shot or lost someone to gun violence, not a single one happened in DC, even though I grew up 5 minutes outside of the city and went to school there. I do know someone who was shot in Shreveport though!
People who want to protect "The Sanctity of Marriage" are always people who voted for a man who raped his first wife, deserted his family of three young children to run off with one of his mistresses, deserted her and their child for another mistress, and then cheated on her with a porn actress. 🤔
They said no other Presidents were business men? Were the Bushes not business men? And Carter too?
How does this tie in with Paramount getting a major contract with UFC right after bribing Trump?
What a twatwaffle.
D.C. is not crime-ridden. D.C. is not a war zone. D.C. is not in danger. The only threat to D.C. is the Trump regime’s authoritarian takeover.
STATEHOOD FOR D.C.
From their markers to God’s ears. 🙏

Running With Scissors by Augusten Burroughs in hard copy format. And Lies and Weddings by Kevin Kwan in audio format. Running with Scissors is a mess - why was this book so damn popular? Ugh.
My first year teaching was in a trailer classroom. The amount of money I spent trying to make it warm and welcoming despite the holes in the walls, the broken windows, and the shortage of both books and desks was so stupid. That year was a complete disaster. The writing was literally on the wall.
The real difference is the “husband with a high paying job” funded classroom.
Welp
Picking just 4 pics from a gorgeous day at Salt Creek Recreation center feels impossible. I love day trips in the PNW!
Stephen Colbert is going SCORCHED EARTH right now. To RFK Jr: “Fuck you, you roid-addled nepo carnie! Fuck you, you roadkill-munching Luddite human slim jim!”
Until we pass a nationwide ban on gerrymandering (which we need), Democrats should gerrymander every state to the fullest extent. 52-0 in CA, 17-0 in IL, and so on. No more unilateral disarmament. Time to get serious about fighting back.
Let’s get something straight first about the Fed.
His shit eating grin when he thinks he’s painted himself as a protected class, and really done something there. I swear, every rich white elder male has that same gotcha grin. It’s so gross.
We’re watching KHNL and the dude just said, “Steph, I’m sorry to interrupt, but if you look at the screen you can see the water rushing back in EVER SO SLIGHTLY.” This is why I hate newscasts. You can’t rush in ever so slightly!!!! Why do I let myself get sucked in by this crap?
A couple weekends ago, encountered this black tailed buck on Hurricane Ridge. Look at that velvet and fluff! 😍 (This format cuts off the snow capped mountain tops, darn!)
It really pisses me off that they think they should be treated a certain way because of how red their county is. So, denying aid would be ok if they were blue? It’s very hard to be empathetic to their situation with that attitude.
Conway: Trump said something that the people who work for him now should remember. He said the people who worked for Obama—they’re not protected by the immunity decision. All you people working Trump, you better watch it because you don’t have immunity.
do I have this right? innocent immigrants are being sent to rot in a slave-labor gulag in El Salvador, because fuck you, that's why, while a convicted child sex trafficker with ties to Dear Leader is being considered for a pardon because she's been "treated so unfairly"? WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK
Who is he taking care of at Lafayette Square? That sounded ominous.
Between Musk & the Trump administration, Media Matters has been squeezed to the brink. In settlement discussions, lawyers for X demanded the organization hand over all its cash and shut down — all because MM reported ads appeared on X next to antisemitic content. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/25/u...
We had one in our neighborhood recently, sitting on a first floor roof, looking in to the 2nd story open bedroom window. That gave me pause!
So sad, all around. I’m curious - not critical - if he was wearing a tracker, and entered a super populated area of the park, do the rangers not get notified to then warn people?
We were there the evening before, and I kept saying I hoped to see a cougar (from the car, on the road), and now I feel like a jerk.
I did not notice that with my 6am eyes! Thank you!
To be frank, gofundme should punt this campaign. We don’t support self proclaimed fascists in this country!
This is so sickly unbelievable. Asking for strangers to support his lack of emergency fund, lack of foresight, lack of common sense. The Catholic Church should excommunicate this asshat.
Right, I was supposed to have a crystal ball when I posted this. At the time, they were basically telling Trump to eff off, and I was supporting that, because I hoped public support would be enough to show companies that it was worth it to not bend the knee. Sadly it didn’t work.
This is lunacy!
First time up Hurricane Ridge today, after the Sequim Lavender festival. Spur of the moment afternoon drive, and what a success!
I’m shocked at these responses. I’m kind. I always acknowledge that they are not the person who caused my issue, but I do need their help. I’m appreciative. And 99% of the time I get nowhere. Acting like it’s OUR fault when giant corporations fuck us over is NOT IT. Ew.
Got damn
Let’s put this to bed.
Worth remembering this right now: the United States is living through a self-created, self-exacerbated emergency. We're furiously hacking away at our own prosperity and wellbeing. For no real reason at all.
This face. Ugh this filthy face. I still love it… but I swear…
What a tough spot to be in, and such a bleak view of disability in America. (I know Fishline helps North Kitsap with these kinds of needs. Does Helpline House do the same for Bainbridge?)
I’ve got a problem with anyone telling me my choice isn’t ok, regardless of what path I choose.
And fulfill his kink, even in the afterlife? No thank you.
*them
It’s not true. They used then but sued them and other meat companies last year for allegedly conspiring to increase prices.
Same. But did BIL believe me? Even with evidence from news sources he trusts? No.
Modern American culture expects/demands immediate results. Good governance, good construction, good science, those things take time, thinking, planning. Wrecking stuff is fast. You can show the results this week. This gives the Break Shit/Burn It All Down Party an advantage. It’s that simple.
This is wonderful! And now I want to make my own to rewatch in the winter months when I’m feeling gloomy!
@amsickofpollies.bsky.social - thanks for spotting this. I reformatted it and also have a four-up PDF if anyone wants it.
And a few more otter pics because squeeeeee so dang cute!
The world is tragic, but seeing critters in the wild makes me so happy. #otter #pnw #riverotter
The President—who uses antisemitic slurs—is building concentration camps and an enormous secret police force. Ya know, maybe this is just because I’m Jewish, but I wish the political opposition and the media made a bigger deal about it!
I think that’s why my snarky responses are so close to the surface. We are weary of harm coming from greed.
Having empathy and tamping down my darker responses doesn’t mean people are absolved from responsibility.
My instant reaction was heartbreak. Then I read Texas Emergency Services was blaming the NWS, and my pettiness wanted to be petty, but, I can’t. These girls… I just can’t imagine. No. That this could have been prevented is just even more heartbreaking. And I fear for what’s to come.
Like he understands what the bill says. Please.
This is not governance. This is not leadership. This is not democracy.
Keep reminding folks of this.
The minutiae of the medicaid? Good God how does he live with being so damn full of shit?
I want something in life to make me that happy, even if it gets me committed for acting like that. 😂

No LG or Samsung for me!!!
You’re kind to say so, but getting in that car sounds like a matter of life and death too!
Oh Mike. This is not the look. Don’t act like that 7k was some kind of charitable give when he had to give up so many hours of his valuable time to handling this. Time isn’t free and stress is costly!
I felt every word of this. As a stay at home mom with a stubborn streak, I spend a lot of time on what I now know to call sludge. It is dehumanizing, especially when it comes to my life saving med supplies. There are so many companies on my “never again” list that I worry I’ll run out of options!
This one hit me in the feels today
Reading The Secret Garden for the 1st time. I’m in a gardening mood. I swore I read it as a kid… but none of these first chapters about India are ringing a bell at all!
One more pic. Homegrown nasturtiums and merlot lettuce for dinner tonight! (With chickpea salad)
Another beautiful day in the PNW. Today we explored Vista Gardens in Bremerton. So gorgeous- the gardens and the view!
Thank you Senator Warren. I appreciate your efforts, as always.
They are sending roving bands of masked thugs with the stated goal of kidnapping 20 million brown people to transport them to any country they can pay to take them. All this has been cleared by The Stolen Court. This is not deportation. This is ethnic cleansing.
I’m sorry what now? Huh? WTF
Jesus woulda flipped those blizzards.
I got no flips last time, and a LID. Wtf is this world coming to.
It’s every parent’s nightmare, isn’t it? you check your child’s bulletproof backpack and find a picture book about gay penguins
We are not all equal under the law.
Deplorable
So a reporter is at fault for… reporting? That’s the narrative. Ok. Sure Authoritarian Jan.
Fox News broadcasting this message about skewing news… the irony… I can’t.
That’s my Senator!!!
I’m sorry, is he describing his own career before this appointment?
