For anyone who is getting this thrown up at them by MAGA-apologist family, here's a reminder. 🖤

18 years ago. My Favorite had come to MA for the first time and my friends were checking him out to make sure he was good enough for me. Weren't we sexy as hell? (And yes, we still are; but we *were* younger)

Very seriously: My friends and I used to joke that when they started the large hadron collider, we exploded and ended up in an alternate universe. It feels less like a joke now.

That part really is as disturbing as the event itself.

A message from My Favorite tonight. Most of the electrical grid in Chile is down. It's under investigation. The airport has minimal power on a generator. The hotel has none. A national curfew has been instated. No one is quite sure what's happening. He has all the fun. :(

I'm watching the show Masters of the Air, a miniseries about the air crew who performed the daylight bombing runs into Germany in WWII. I read a review that it's realistic but provided no context. That's the issue, right there. "It's WWII" is no longer context enough. Aannnd we have Nazis. 🤯😫

In order to support Costco's DEI initiative, My Favorite and I have gotten a membership. Gentles and ladyfolk, I give you the 10-lb box of aluminum foil. 🙉

Not a lot of these are available in the US but some are. Do what you can my people

Back before the election, I found (a linger version of) this. It's even more important now, especially #3.

When I asked how their life was going, my beloved nibling just answered, "Mostly good with some frustrating bits" and if that's not the best answer I have ever heard to that question, I don't know what is.

Had an AMAZING introduction to synchronized skating this week, thanks to @lekdays.bsky.social. But even more than that, we got to catch up with a dear friend. NGL, kinda grooving on this every year thing. 🖤

Mame @bostonpobble.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

@lovineleven.bsky.social, this is what I like about him; almost every item has multiple sources. He links them all and none of them are far to the left or right. It really is a place to get information and make our own decisions. And no, I'm not affiliated in any way. Just been reading since Day 4.

Mame @bostonpobble.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

I read @whatthefuckjusthappenedtoday.com for this very reason. Summaries of the important stuff without so much detail I can't function. This and headlines from AP and Reuters. I'm informed but not overwhelmed and despondent.

Politicians like to declare the people gave them a mandate because it sounds and looks good, like they have vast support for what they are doing, but it doesn't have a specific meaning or even any legitimate weight. Hope this helps.

Executive order list: What executive orders did President Trump sign and what to know

Trump's Day 1 orders could have dramatic implications for millions of people.

Mame @bostonpobble.bsky.social · 22/01/2025

Two comments because it's too long for one. The political definition of mandate has been tweaked over time to mean "overwhelming support by the voters." It has no official definition or description in this context.

It's Google forecast v NOAA forecast. Exact same search parameters. My money's on NOAA but let's see... 🥶🌨️❄️☃️

Thursday and Friday were all about airports (and my AMAZING new backpack, which is big enough to hold my stuff *and* my Bear). Friday, we got home, ordered pizza, and decided to take a nap about 3:00 pm. Next thing we knew, it was a little after 6:00 am Saturday morning. Yep, that's a 15 hour nap.

The blind obedience and devotion deserved her, obviously. And maybe some cheese 🤣

They burrow into your heart like the hunters they are and never let go, right???? Victoria and Albert are amazing names for a bonded pair and Bruno and Bertha are precious. Not interchangeable; perfect in each's own right. 🖤

This shouldn't be hard to understand...

It's just wrong to post pictures of Lionel without posting pictures of Daisy! Who knows if I'll ever have other dogs. I hope so. But if I don't, I had them. <3

I like WTF Just Happened Today. Objective and source-based. No editorializing; no opinions. I subscribed to the email in the early days of the first Trump administration and it has helped keep me sane this whole time. My second fav is Under the Desk News but there's a bit of a bias there.

It is exhausting and saddening. Give yourself the grace you need.

You don't need to change for anyone in the new year. Don't hide your fangs behind a thin smile. Don't hide your tentacles under a tattered cardigan. Show everyone your claws and dark determination. Make the world change for you.

I did nothing yesterday. Not because I was sick; not because I was in reentry. Just to do nothing. It was AWESOME. I even skipped housekeeping. Nothing. None of the things. My Favorite and I ordered room service. Today, I am energized and excited. Some days the most important thing is nothing.

I'm late to this for obvious reasons but you are the only other person I've ever met who even knows this series exists! This one is so beautiful.

My Lionel baby showed up in my photo memories today. 2008! Still miss my sweet babies

That moment when I see a book that's still on my computer being offered for preorder.

Mame @bostonpobble.bsky.social · 11/01/2025

My Favorite has been struggling with the need to stay sane and the need to stay informed. I've found my own balance around it, but haven't been able to find the words to help him. Until this morning. With thanks to @ginaluker.bsky.social: these next years are not our lesson. Be peaceful, friends. 🖤

If you know what you're looking at, you know those aren't clouds; that's smoke fire. We've been here two weeks and My Favorite hasn't flown yet. That may change before we head home next week.

Mame @bostonpobble.bsky.social · 10/01/2025

Baths and candles are a must. I'm a city girl, so a stroll through Center City followed by a coffee in a cafe is a weekly event (at least I try to make it a weekly event ha). And I keep a 5-minute stretching video up on my computer. When I start getting crazed, I'll stop and run through that.

When you realize the book you just finished copyediting is from hell. 😆

New snow on the mountain today when I went on walkabout. So strange to think we've been here long enough to be returning to the States next week. Chillan, Chile
