Just a liberal Gen X feral hag, trying her best to be left alone with her tea, garden, and cats while the world burns. Bona fides: Obama followed me on the bird app 😏

Journalists, please remember that repeating obviously false statements is not balance or fairness. It is actively participating in deception.

one of the most horrifying things to accept about This Era is there is no functional federal law enforcement agency or prosecutors who will investigate anyone even slightly aligned with the administration. was there market manipulation? insider trading? could well be! we will literally never know!

Just so everybody understands, Booker has been speaking cogently about the issues the entire time and Strom Thurmond famously spent hours reading from the encyclopedia, because segregationists were and are dumbshits

This is a really important thread, especially if you’ve heard some news about temp restraining orders and a rehiring or two and think it’s hopeful. The situation is still DIRE, and not changing.

If you’re in the market for a wool cat cave, and you have an eccentric, smallish senior dog, please know that the cat cave WILL be flattened and repurposed as a dog bed. 😏

There's so much outright stupidity in the world right now that my brain has decided the logical outlet for my rage is "people who don't understand Severance". Even as a dyed in the wool tv snob I understand that this isn't fair but look the choice has already been made and I have no control over it

Giving access to SSNs, other data on government employees to non-employees like Musk is a violation of 5 USC 552a, and carries with it a penalty of $1000 per person whose data was accessed. We are building a case. Govt employees who want to participate should contact me directly

I’m clinging on the fact that gardening season will be here soon. This is last year’s accidental pairing of some rogue red zinnias with Salvia guaranitica. I ended up loving it, and so did the pollinators. 🌱#fridayflowers #gardening

My adult son faced the same situation with the same med (also with Walgreens, UHC, and Optum RX) last month. He and his doctor forced the issue, and he got his meds, thank goodness. I’m so angry and heartbroken for Cole and his parents.

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH** * Currently paused by Executive Order ** Grant reviews now all canceled www.kcur.org/news/2025-01...

Egg prices are soaring again. Here’s why and what to expect
Bird flu has killed millions of hens in recent weeks, shrinking the supply of eggs and hiking up prices at grocery stores.

I think way too much about the fact that Sade should have flipped Chicago and Key Largo (and north and south, obvs). Observe: “Coast to coast, LA to KEY LARGO, western male Across the SOUTH and NORTH to CHICAGO, love for sale” It’s been 41 years and I can’t let it go.

I can do #tinyflowertuesday. Verbena bonariensis is a pollinator magnet, and if you plant it once you’ll never be without it, since it’s a prolific reseeder (it’s invasive in warmer zones, so be careful). 🌱 #gardening

The number of tik tok users who are inadvertently making the case for the tik tok ban right now by parroting Chinese propaganda is astonishing. I enjoy tik tok, but at this point I’m afraid there are blazing neon signs telling us to get rid of all social media for our own collective good.

I've fallen into a "let's try weird food from TJ Maxx" tik tok hole, and every time I see one I get a pang of longing to be one of those people who can just eat anything without a second thought. No checking the ingredients to see if it will kill you or considering if it'll trigger sensory ick.

Instagram had the option to transfer all of my photos to Google Photo. I don't really use it, so I figured that was a good holding spot for now. Since Insta Stories are temporary, I assumed they wouldn't be included. Whoops, wrong. I now have 15+ years of memes to go through and delete. 😅
