In the real world I am a scientist who loves humanity, hates hatred, + strives for justice. In the 🦋 world I’m here to talk nonsense about everything from politics to Bravo and back again. Hoping to spread ✌🏼♥️😊🕊️🧘🏻‍♀️

On January 30th when the files were “released”, I had to sing happy birthday to my 13yo daughter knowing how the powerful view her. I hope the rage of every woman on this planet tears the entire system to shreds.

If I’m in trouble with anyone around me, even if I’m right, I panic and recoil. I recheck my actions and apologize (I’m a cancer leave me be). The entire world hates this woman and she’s 100% wrong/evil and she doesn’t even change course for a second.

I really need the zero tolerance folks who threw thousands of black CHILDREN in (ADULT) jail for possessing a dime bag of weed in the 2000s to bring that same zeal for “justice” to prosecute the people who raped and tortured children.

I hope the ramifications of this shake the core of our very being to dismantle the disgusting systems that allowed this to happen. I hope anybody with a finger involved in this feels consequences beyond reason.

I had to watch my daughter turn 13 yesterday with the knowledge of what the people who run the world think about 13-year-old girls. What are we even doing here? #epsteinfiles

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

Knowing very little about Rob Reiner and his wife, I imagine if their deaths brought about an unhinged and disrespectful tweet from our fearless leader, they lived a good life.

I love people who put antlers and Rudolph noses in their cars. I feel like I say this every year, but those people are special.

The way we should all be screaming with rage about the government shut down cannot be understated. The tax $ that we are so worried about feeding children with are the same tax dollars that are also used to pay these buffoons who cannot get it together at the expense of people’s livelihoods.

With regards to my earlier post, this is what I mean. We as New Yorkers are only going to allow our own craziness, we will not allow this mess.

betty deville @bettydeville.bsky.social · 22/10/2025
If you voted for our current mess because you were worried about grocery prices, are you at all concerned about your tax dollars knocking down the White House, kidnapping people off the streets, funding foreign atrocities, or potentially paying a felon’s legal fees?

It’s almost like destroying public education over the past 45 years and ending up with 60% of the population literate at a 6th grade level with low critical thinking skills was the plan.

I think it's time to admit that our entire planet is at active war with fascism. And that the war is existential, not just for minorities, for everyone.

Today I feel a heaviness that is not related to 9/11. Today feels like a turning pt, though I have felt it since the political assassination of Melissa Hortman & her husband. Despite teetering on the loss of civility for so long, we have finally fallen. The discourse on the internet is unbearable.

I would love it if it would become earth shatteringly embarrassing to have somebody find out that you’re a pedophile, rapist, or racist. Like world ending.

When did it become all or nothing? You can be a Republican (believing in the central principles of small gov, low taxes, etc.) and not want to destroy the world and human rights. Where are the normal Republicans? I was raised by some great ones who have since abandoned political affiliation.

A Trump themed bus (yes) parked in the center of my town. Taking up spots, being an eyesore, daring confrontation. I love political freedom and can respect republican views on governance, though con camps, pedophilia, idolatry, and hate are not part of this equation. Get out.

Driving over a major bridge in the northeast U.S. and saw a few white men with a large banner. I was scared as to what I was about to read bc of the amount of flags, but the banner read “remove the pedo in chief”. I’m here for this type of bait and switch and I’m sorry for stereotyping (not really).

On vaca, went to a crystal gift shop, owner was telling ppl about the lion’s gate portal and 5 retrogrades making dogs act nuts and bringing desires. 5 retrogrades sounds like too many, but I want to believe my life is dictated by planets being silly.

Not to be dramatic, but I’ll never take for granted being able to breathe through my nose again. Summer colds are gross and I feel like sinuses and the whole ENT system is a design flaw.

Can someone explain to me how it is status quo for senators and reps to vote with their own interests (financial and otherwise) rather than with the will of their constituencies? I wish people would spare us the bogus interest in protecting our constitution when they clearly have never read it.

A different way of practicing politics is possible - where we vigorously fight for what’s right while inviting people into our coalition, rather than pushing them away.

I feel like 37% is still too high - particularly as pedophilia is (allegedly) involved, and rape/SA is actually involved.

People can have differing politics. You can oppose immigration, have views on limited taxes, be tough on crime, support an Israeli state - you can believe all of these things, but you also MUST have empathy and realize that your political views are not an excuse for intolerable cruelty.

New goal: I would like to be someone’s ethics chief, and I would like the ability to slap when necessary. Side note- though I get why having one is necessary, I feel like anyone who needs a personal ethics chief for guidance on believing pedophilia is wrong, shouldn’t be in any sort of charge.
