I have not personally experienced a hurricane season this bad since 2004, when we got hit with Francis and Jean back to back and didn't have power for weeks. Fun fact: Florida switched to those L-shaped light poles after this hurricane season bc of how many poles got knocked down.

Does anyone have any tips for dealing with perimenopause? I told Scott this is the last summer I can make it without AC. I basically have a migraine 60% of the time, I am definitely suffering from some form of dysautonomia, along with my diagnosed IIH. I wish for a society that cares about women.

I have rowed over 550 miles to get here, and it often felt like very slow progress.

In January, I used the money Scott's bigoted grandparents gave me for Christmas to buy a cheap and compact rowing machine. Rowing is the only exercise I enjoy. I had some setbacks including my knees giving out. But I just rowed 10 miles in 47:31, and I am really fucking proud of myself. I am 41

Today is my 2nd Wedding anniversary. There was a time I was certain I'd never get married, but here I am - with a man I met on Twitter. He built me a beautiful place to live and is truly the best husband I could have ever hoped for.

Honestly I'm angry at the people who were repeatedly warned that the murderers were going to do murders and needed to wait for the murders to happen before they got on board with doing anything about it. You're feckless and stupid, welcome to the side but shut the fuck up and stop trying to lead.

White Americans are learning once again that the *only* thing that has ever made you safe from fascism is being willing to sacrifice non-white people. That is your contract with white supremacy. "Give us someone else so it won't be you."

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

This is the lesson a lot of us were screaming about in 2016. I was begging the party to get it the fuck together because this is where it was always going to end up. When your opposition does no opposing, not even when things escalate, we get here.

Better use of that photo.
I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate.
The Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not... the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate,
who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."
Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will.

This means, they're using tear gas because you have no measurable chemical means to fight back. Being tear gassed is not a fun time at all, but it's generally just a bad day. A bad day that covers you in snot. Still ok after a shower.

Just a reminder that tear gas is banned during warfare by the Geneva convention. It was allowed by rule in 1993, to be used domestically as a form of riot control. They made this exception because the people cannot further escalate.

Except that’s never been her goal. That’s what she tells people. There have been decades now of reports and evidence that her main goals are racism, mockery and dominance The first thing she did to make the news “approachable” was firing everyone not white

It would be a mistake to see Trumpism as authoritarianism imposed on an unwilling nation, as opposed to authoritarianism implemented in a nation with a plurality that is already made up of authoritarian bootlickers who created the context for Trumpism to thrive.

It should be bigger news that masked agents were filmed hours ago removing potentially inculpatory evidence from the ICE shooter's house, clearly lacking evidence tags or chain of custody stickers. Before we have word on whether he underwent a toxicology screen at the hospital following the killing

Last year some people asked why Black people weren't showing up at protests. ICE shot this woman three times in the face and the president tweeted about how it was her fault and she deserved it. Rest in peace Renee Nicole Good.

Literally ten days before handing the keys over to Trump, the Biden/Harris administration offered a $25 million reward for anyone who kidnapped Maduro. So I don't want to hear NOT ONE GODDAMN FUCKIN WORD from liberals about how Kamala wouldn't have kidnapped Maduro.
Screenshot of a New York Times article from January 10th, 2025.  Headline reads "Biden raises bounty for Nicolas Maduro to $25 million"

My Christmas present finally arrived. Idk if I'll ever afford an original, but these two pieces feel like they were made to go together. These are both from artist, Anastasia Trusova.

I'm watching The summer I turned pretty and when Belly goes to Paris in S3 to get the fuck out after her life blew up, it brought back so many memories of moving to Madrid. I miss living in Spain (Vigo tho, not Madrid) so much.

I was thinking about asking for an electric wok for Christmas but now I'm definitely going to get some prints from my favorite living artist: Anastasia Trusova. Eventually, if we can ever afford it, I'd love an original piece. But prints will do, I'm sick of looking at my own art.

I miss Twitter. I miss a time when I could engage meaningfully in politics without substantial damage to my mental health. I know my husband misses it, since that's how we met and what brought us together. I honestly don't know how all of you are continuing to do it.

I've been complaining to Scott for years about we didn't have a place for me to sit and read outside. We've been working on this area for awhile. Scott built the gate with the trellis and I insisted on all of the lights (they're solar).

I learned how to make bagels. They even impressed my husband and his family which is a feat given they are New Jersey bagel people. Anyway, today was my 4th time making them. My father-in-law already loved me but I think now he likes me more than either of his own sons.

Luckily, Scott and I have been stocked up for months now in preparation (the world sucks and we're on an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean) so we have plenty of food to last us a while and share if necessary. And we just had our water delivery yesterday.
