Another day, another violation of the Hatch Act.

A screenshot of an email I received from the Social Security Administration. It is a propaganda piece that expresses adoration for Donald Trump, and clearly violates the Hatch Act.

Checking in from Portland, Oregon, and I've gotta say, it's not on fire. This despite claims to the contrary by a certain political cult. Just had a rose croissant. It was freaking delicious. And not on fire.

Picture I took of a delicious croissant infused with rose oil and candied rosebud tidbits.

His name was Alex Pretti. It shouldn't be forgotten.

My son's student visa application for Canada was rejected. In other news, fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.

"known for having problems reflecting light." Oh, that explains why it's hard to see a basketball. Check out how dimly lit most of this sphere is. I can hardly make out the detail.

Liberated from any belief that this country is going to recover from the orange shit-gibbon any time soon. Liberated from a sense of financial security. Liberated from all respect for the stupid fucking morons who voted for this. They're all leopard fans.

Maybe putting tariffs on literally uninhabited islands is finally the moment that stock market traders recognize they've voted for an actual madman.

Hard to believe that yesterday morning, I was in the land of the free. You know the country I'm talking about. The one where opportunity abounds. The one where most people speak English. It's big, it's beautiful, and while I was there, I saw multiple bald eagles! Hell yeah!

Seen in a store in the Gastown neighborhood of Vancouver.

A red tee-shirt with a white maple leaf on it. Overlaying the maple leaf is the name "Canada." Below and to the right, a stylized stamp reads "NOT FOR SALE."

All gains in the last six months gone, and then some. Egg prices skyrocketing. Tourism dropping like a stone. American-made alcohols disappearing from store shelves in other countries. But we got to take away rights from trans people, so it was all worth it. Right? Right?

A graph showing the Dow Jones Industrial Average has lost all the gains it made over the last six months and is actually down 687.86 points from where it was six months ago.

Dow looking like it's trying to undo everything that has happened since the election. I feel ya, Dow.

Snow Day in Eugene! This photo is from the nearby school. I liked the look of the snow on the playground.

And here is an example. Note the signs: It strawmans what I said, and uses the strawman version to argue that the fact that I don't put up with this kind of shit means I'm "not progressive." It's designed specifically to elicit an angry response.

Ugh. All-day migraine. Shitty way to spend a holiday weekend. It's fading now, but migraines always leave me feeling like the day is just gone, absorbed by a headache. Here's a picture of a beautiful sky to represent exactly how I didn't feel today.

Sunbeams from a lovely sunrise shining dramatically through clouds.

Found on Nextdoor. The mind boggles. This, alongside sexism, is why Harris lost.

A conversation from Nextdoor in which someone who fundamentally misunderstands tariffs asks if it makes sense to wait for a large purchase until after tariffs go into effect, under the belief that they'll cause prices to drop.

Going through old photos, I found this gem from 2007. That baby is now almost 18 and he's graduating from high school this year.

Me and my oldest, circa 2007 when he was just a baby.
