Eileen Sullivan @eileensullivan.bsky.social · 24/03/2026I am 68, my husband is 72. I still work. He is retired but spends at least 40 hours per week volunteering in various capacities with unhoused people and working on affordable housing issues in our community. He is also a serious cyclist and pianist. I hate to think he's old. But I guess we both are. 050
Eileen Sullivan @eileensullivan.bsky.social · 22/02/2026My guess is republicans in congress were happy about the scotus decision on tariffs and now are secretly distressed about Trump's plan to impose them anyway. Is this correct? 000
Eileen Sullivan @eileensullivan.bsky.social · 18/02/2026I have noticed this. Ugh! I love the LRB. or used to.... 010
Eileen Sullivan @eileensullivan.bsky.social · 28/10/2025Because unlike much of the world, many workers in the US don't make a living wage. I work with people on SNAP. Those who are able, work, but can't afford housing, medical costs, etc on their salaries. Many many people living in poverty work multiple jobs. 030
Eileen Sullivan @eileensullivan.bsky.social · 12/09/2025My husband is spending his retirement as a caseworker for people after helping them secure housing, running a winter shelter, working on the affordable housing committee for our town, serving on boards & assisting non-profits- all volunteer! Ive said: enjoy life. This post helps me understand him. 000
Eileen Sullivan @eileensullivan.bsky.social · 10/08/2025My evangelical cousins ask me every year or so some variation of "Have you found Jesus?" When I say no, they explain what I am missing. This has been going on for decades. Recently I mused to a fellow atheist cousin - notice how we never do this to them? 000
Eileen Sullivan @eileensullivan.bsky.social · 22/06/2025It's not in the NYT, it's in the The Sunday Times, a British newspaper. 020
Eileen Sullivan @eileensullivan.bsky.social · 01/04/2025This perfectly describes some of my *liberal* women friends, all fellow boomers sad to say. I keep fighting this attitude but they are convinced that this is how democrats lost. I cannot get through. 060
Eileen Sullivan @eileensullivan.bsky.social · 17/02/2025Except lots of local stations are owned by right-wing Sinclair Broadcasting. Local news is vital but it's hard to escape right wing propaganda unfortunately. 040
Eileen Sullivan @eileensullivan.bsky.social · 08/02/2025Could not agree more and I've been married 40 years. My husband has always done more than me in the house, with the kids, is supportive, has a career in social work... But if I tell ppl to stop the 'jokes' it's like "chill we know it's *not all men* you bore." So I don't usually speak up. 160
Eileen Sullivan @eileensullivan.bsky.social · 07/02/2025I think Jesse was even madder about Andres Serrano's photo Immersion aka Piss Christ. 120
Eileen Sullivan @eileensullivan.bsky.social · 31/01/2025In most (all?) of Europe touching produce isn't permitted. I've seen Americans get scolded by vendors for picking up produce to inspect. 120
Eileen Sullivan @eileensullivan.bsky.social · 11/01/2025Almost every book and movie has an old person who can't text or use technology. 030
Eileen Sullivan @eileensullivan.bsky.social · 04/01/2025It is always sad to leave a beloved place but you are heading home during a freezing cold week here on the Cape/Islands so at least your timing is good! 010
Eileen Sullivan @eileensullivan.bsky.social · 27/12/2024My resolution is to spend time in the early morning doing a Calm meditation and then drinking tea instead of doomscrolling and drinking red bull. But I'm on bluesky right now so maybe I'll start 1/1. 060
Eileen Sullivan @eileensullivan.bsky.social · 19/12/2024He needs Elon's money and Elon needs the access to power so I predict they will stay besties. 010
Eileen Sullivan @eileensullivan.bsky.social · 11/12/2024We spend a lot of time in Brooklyn, it can look dreary from a distance but it's wonderful once you're actually there! By the way you will drive by my house in Falmouth on your way to the ferry! 020
Eileen Sullivan @eileensullivan.bsky.social · 19/11/2024Why so many plane stories?? I thought it was my algorithm. So weird 120
Eileen Sullivan @eileensullivan.bsky.social · 17/11/2024It seems like you think you have more information than the International Court of Justice? Do you dismiss their investigation and conclusions? And things have only gotten worse since then. 030
Eileen Sullivan @eileensullivan.bsky.social · 15/11/2024"controversial views?" Try "dangerous views" 031
Eileen Sullivan @eileensullivan.bsky.social · 15/11/2024Yep I think it's part of his basis for each choice. Also it's likely that there is a craven logic behind each one. It's so horrifying to try and figure out what that logic might be. Tulsi is the scariest for foreign policy, RFK the most dangerous for the public health, Matt is the grossest.... 100
Eileen Sullivan @eileensullivan.bsky.social · 15/11/2024Each of the appointments make sense to his deranged mind. 100
Eileen Sullivan @eileensullivan.bsky.social · 15/11/2024Every appointment seems like it can't be real. We feel a fresh waive of despair and shock with every one. 100
Eileen Sullivan @eileensullivan.bsky.social · 14/11/2024Why doesn't he write a piece explaining that presidents don't set grocery prices? Anyway glad to find you here! 110
Eileen Sullivan @eileensullivan.bsky.social · 12/11/2024They won't know. When they feel economic pain fox (or whoever) will tell them how to blame democrats. 000
Eileen Sullivan @eileensullivan.bsky.social · 11/11/2024You should add Mollie Katzen - she's great! 000
Eileen Sullivan @eileensullivan.bsky.social · 11/11/2024He was! And I have friends getting mad at me for saying it. 010
Eileen Sullivan @eileensullivan.bsky.social · 10/11/2024I live on the Cape too and how to get to Logan is always a big decision. I usually wind up just taking the bus. But first I have to agonize and consider every alternative. 010
Eileen Sullivan @eileensullivan.bsky.social · 10/11/2024They are resistance grifters- people who made lots of money being performatively anti-trump in an over-the-top way. Like "It's Mueller time!" Not sure Tom fits here though 150
Eileen Sullivan @eileensullivan.bsky.social · 09/11/2024The inexplicable part, to me, is that Walter purports to care about free speech more than anything, but then ignores Trump threatening to round up journalists and take licenses away. Such an obvious double standard. 000
Eileen Sullivan @eileensullivan.bsky.social · 09/11/2024I got off twitter 2 days ago but in the days leading up to the election he was posting about the squirrel constantly. I am fascinated/repelled by him and his insane political views, because I previously thought he was smart. And Amanda seems along for the ride. So disappointing. 100
Eileen Sullivan @eileensullivan.bsky.social · 07/11/2024Hard to let go of cool follows! And tough to detox. 030
Eileen Sullivan @eileensullivan.bsky.social · 07/11/2024I just deactivated twitter. I can no longer stomach Elon even for my formerly beloved twitter. It's very sad for me but I am happy to see you here! Thanks for all you do. 2140
