Can we finally just award medals in the Oppression Olympics and move on? 🤔

It feels like the very clear subtext to much of this #DollyParton love is: BECAUSE SHE'S THE OPPOSITE OF DONALD TRUMP IN EVERY WAY! 😍

I'm on a cruise ship, and there is an extremely handsome man in a wheelchair on board, and I'm doing my partner to normalize his disability by ogling him.

I'm simultaneously reading the autobiographies of Eve Plumb (classic good girl goody two shoes) and Maureen McCormick (coked out druggie and sex fiend) and it's quite fascinating -- kind of a Brady Sliding Doors.

I NEVER fill out customer surveys because they don't want to know about the things I actually dislike (soul-grinding phone trees, convoluted cancellation policies, worthless AI chats). They just want a number they can use to terrorize their employees

I don't know where you live, but this is extremely common on the west coast -- I would say typical -- at least in urban areas. Overall 3.3% of U.S. teenagers (ages 13 to 17) identify as transgender. When combining both transgender and non-binary identities, research indicates that 5% to 8% do

This is a bad talking point. It's a stupid issue that's being demogogued, but 20% of my local school identifies as trans or non-binary.

You know, a President accusing a NYT reporter of committing treason just for asking a question is actually quite a big deal, and this bunch just standing there listening to it and doing nothing is not encouraging the public to think of journalism as a serious business or of words meaning anything.

In Rivendell, who changes the sheets and scrubs the toilets? Is it 3000-year-old elves, or is there some sort of caste system where working class hobbits or humans come in and do it for them? 🤔

The lake of DEATH! Dogs, birds, and other wildlife die within hours of contact with the water from Anderson Lake, 3 miles from where we're staying on the Olympic Peninsula. The lake has toxic algae blooms, including one in 2008 that set a world record for the highest concentration of anatoxin-a.

In other words, despite all the happy talk and propaganda there is no end in sight to this so Republicans have to pile on more debt in addition to increasing the national debt with the cost of the war, more military spending, a fortune for ICE, and a ballroom.

So we stopped. And I'm REALLY glad we did (in part because the chocolate is waaaaaaaaay better than anything you can get at Costco!).

Michael and I recently passed by our favorite local chocolate shop, Johnson's Chocolates, in Tacoma, Washington, and I thought, "I don't want to deal with parking, and we're going to Costco soon anyway." But then I thought: "No! That thinking is precisely the problem with America!"

If anything, I think it was the "elites" who hid Biden's true condition, that he was *clearly* not fit for four more years. Discouraging a serious primary was a concerted strategic choice, and a terrible one, and those involved should express remorse. Saying "Trump is unfit too!" is irrelevant.
