Baking chocolate chip banana bread, cleaning the kitchen with Mrs Meyers gingerbread scented cleaning spray, and listening to holiday music on my Alexa Echo Show! It’s festive in my kitchen!

Is it just me, or are the holidays both the loneliest and most joyful times simultaneously? How does that work?

If you're wondering why Prime Minister Justin Trudeau flew to Florida to meet with Donald Trump, it's because Canada doesn't allow convicted felons into the country.

Husband just got home from work (gotta keep those planes flying!) & I made a ham in the crock pot with brown sugar and pineapple, dressing with cranberries, sweet potato casserole, a corn soufflé, and a pumpkin pie! It’s just us, but we’re going to eat and watch the original Miracle on 34th Street!

I was reading a story — “The Reckoning” — by Edith Wharton where she uses the phrase “the mentally unemployed” and I’m going to use that to describe MAGA devotees from now on.

I’m thinking of taking my writing in a new direction and by new direction, I mean a totally different genre (not to skip out on my poems or nonfiction essays and reviews). Any guesses?

A bathroom is a bathroom. There are stalls with locks. Sinks. Mirrors for lipstick touch ups. Hand dryers. The end. Quit policing what’s under someone’s skirt and lock the door and do your business. We should be more worried that people are washing their hands.

Amanda Auchter @alauchter.bsky.social · 20/11/2024

I have three people in my larger orbit that are trans and let me tell you — I’d rather be in a stall next to them than a MAGA any day of the week.

I stand with @sarahemcbride.bsky.social. Bathrooms are to do your business and, if you’re a woman or woman-identifying, touch up your lipstick and powder your nose. Nancy Mace — and people like her — needs to get over herself.
