KM Kemi @kemikm.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I was literally just telling someone how much I want to believe there will be Democrats willing to actually fight instead of acquiesce “for the good of the country”. Feckless, all! We can “go high” by holding the executive branch wholly accountable! 001
KM Kemi @kemikm.bsky.social · 23/09/2026One day a week (sometimes more) I take my 89 year old, mildly demented mother on errands, appointments, and wherever else she desires to go. She has high needs and squeezes into her tiny purse inside which things disappear. 000
KM Kemi @kemikm.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Deleting apps and emails is my new favorite pastime. I will gladly pay more if it means I don’t have to have my purchases tracked or suffer through endless surveys. 000
KM Kemi @kemikm.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Every day I’m hit with horrifying news from somewhere in the world, but data centers in space remains the worst: a) Musk has a hand in it— money buys him access, not knowledge. b) Satellite pinball trapping us on the planet seems possible and can only lead to… c) …global lord of the flies. 010
KM Kemi @kemikm.bsky.social · 19/08/2026America is and always has been an oppressive oligarchy. The real myth is very few are on the side of the many. 020
KM Kemi @kemikm.bsky.social · 05/08/2026For those about to have their last child head off to college in a few weeks, may you get to sing a love song to each other for a few weeks before they leave. What a gift my summer theatre show has been. Time with my kid on and off the stage! Priceless! Healing! 000
KM Kemi @kemikm.bsky.social · 18/07/2026We are not obligated to mourn our oppressors. ~multiple sources said in multiple ways I might add, it’s also good for the soul to celebrate one’s freedom from oppression when it comes. And then do better. 000
KM Kemi @kemikm.bsky.social · 16/07/2026The convicted rapist el presidente is a lunatic. My evidence? His social media posts and complete inability to form a coherent sentence paired with some truly unhinged “foreign policy”. But I really blame those propping him up and using his celebrity to better themselves, country be damned. 010
KM Kemi @kemikm.bsky.social · 14/07/2026And it is absolutely official: Donald J. Trump is an adjudicated sexual assaulter. Full stop. It’s in the history books now. This is his legacy. This is the legacy of the GOP. 000
KM Kemi @kemikm.bsky.social · 14/07/2026The next time a politician or pundit blames Biden I need at least one person in the room to come at them hard: You blame Biden!?! How the hell do you justify such an asinine thought?!? You either have no self-respect, you sycophantic buffoon, or you are utterly underqualified for this job! Get out! 1286
KM Kemi @kemikm.bsky.social · 09/07/2026We really must stop elevating men’s achievements as the default. Women have always been incredible. History books and generational misogyny just haven’t bothered to report it. Go, Kelsey Pfendler!! 111
KM Kemi @kemikm.bsky.social · 03/07/2026I can write about the hypocrisy of the Republicans for days and days, but sometimes the direct approach is best. 010
KM Kemi @kemikm.bsky.social · 30/06/2026Just came from the Modern Art and Politics in Germany 1910–1945: Masterworks from the Neue Nationalgalerie, Berlin exhibit. My route happened to take me by the Alex Pretti and Renee Good memorials. We are not mad enough!! new.artsmia.org/exhibition/m...new.artsmia.org 020
KM Kemi @kemikm.bsky.social · 24/06/2026All I’m asking for is a government that guarantees everyone sufficient housing, food, education, healthcare, freedom of and from religion, body autonomy, and protection from those who infringe on those guarantees. I suppose, under this current regime, that makes me an insurgent. 000
KM Kemi @kemikm.bsky.social · 18/06/2026All eyes on Chicago, where hope still lives. Let this be the beginning of what comes next! 000
KM Kemi @kemikm.bsky.social · 16/06/2026I am not a fan of fascism. You might say I oppose fascism and fascists. You might go so far as to say I am anti-fascist. You might shorten it to antifa and say I support many ideologies of many autonomous anti-fascist groups. I may own a t-shirt with an anti-fascist message. Have I broken any laws? 012
KM Kemi @kemikm.bsky.social · 15/06/2026I stopped posting every thought I have, every event I attend, every vacation I go on and it turns out I still enjoyed all those things. (I reserve the right to post any of those things at any time I want, I’m just celebrating the lack of needing a social media tether.) 000
KM Kemi @kemikm.bsky.social · 05/06/2026There are only two actors I have accepted as Dr. Frank-N-Furter: Tim Curry and Anthony Head. The world is a little less today than it was yesterday. youtu.be/sDWZbBZNM6wyoutu.beSweet Transvestite - Rocky Horror Tribute Show 2006 - Starring Anthony HeadYouTube video by Merlin stars 010
KM Kemi @kemikm.bsky.social · 03/06/2026I don’t care if he wants to be the most tacky, gilded man there ever was, he just can’t do it with my tax dollars in his employer provided housing. 000
KM Kemi @kemikm.bsky.social · 25/05/2026For a few moments we pretended all was right with the world. A glorious day enjoying the sun, blue sky bird song, and peace. May we have more of this in the future. 010
KM Kemi @kemikm.bsky.social · 18/05/2026It’s been 18 days since my last spiral of consternation and I think Fuck ‘em All pretty much sums up my feelings. Clearly the US government is dead and no one — NOT ONE — so called elected leader will risk a damn thing to stop the grift (which is a word that hardly suffices). 000
KM Kemi @kemikm.bsky.social · 30/04/2026They can’t police my thoughts. (This will probably not age well) 000
KM Kemi @kemikm.bsky.social · 28/04/2026My current nemesis! She’s not the least bit afraid of me and clearly believes I’ve laid out this buffet for her. She doesn’t even mind the gourmet hot sauce and peppermint oil. I shall call her Charlie. 000
KM Kemi @kemikm.bsky.social · 26/04/2026“One must think like a hero to behave like a merely decent human being.” May Sarton Journal of a Solitude, 1973 000
KM Kemi @kemikm.bsky.social · 25/04/2026I oppose the death penalty. Making it “quick and painless”is, I suppose, the least a civilization can do. Anything else is state sanctioned cruelty. 000
KM Kemi @kemikm.bsky.social · 24/04/2026I remember the jokes made back in the day about the geeks taking over the world. I never once thought the geeks would be the bad guys. I was so wrong. 000
KM Kemi @kemikm.bsky.social · 09/04/2026Sleeping with his eyes half open. We get it, dear Lumi. We get it far too well. 020
KM Kemi @kemikm.bsky.social · 07/04/2026Valentina has discovered my brave little injured goldfinch. 010
KM Kemi @kemikm.bsky.social · 07/04/2026All representatives contacted this morning. The dangerous and escalatory rhetoric from this administration must not be ignored as trolling or the proverbial and pathetic 4D chess excuse. There are no longer any guide rails. His irresponsible intimidation undermines public trust. Steps must be taken! 000
KM Kemi @kemikm.bsky.social · 06/04/2026So the Hegseth message is god is good and only cares about USA so the rest of the world better look out because the US is coming for them. Just look for the resurrected pilot and nuclear cross. Yep. That’s on brand…and absolutely terrifying theocratic bullshit. (I may have paraphrased ;)) 010
KM Kemi @kemikm.bsky.social · 04/04/2026For the last few days this lovely little Goldfinch has been coming to our window feeder. She’s injured or perhaps born without an eye, yet she finds her way back here everyday. We will add new and better foods to the feeder and help her out for as long as she continues to come. 000
KM Kemi @kemikm.bsky.social · 01/04/2026Switching from the ice to the heat phase of my recovery just in time for an April Winter Weather Warning. Clinging to small joys. 000
KM Kemi @kemikm.bsky.social · 30/03/2026I fell a week ago. Cracked open my head (stitches!), badly sprained my wrist, and banged up my knee. Managed by sheer will to survive tech week and opening weekend. This morning’s thought as I ice my knee and immobilize my wrist: I’m too old for this. I need a week to recover. I have two days. 000
KM Kemi @kemikm.bsky.social · 28/03/2026I’m at the theatre today playing an evil Queen, but I’m with the No King’s movement in spirit! 010
KM Kemi @kemikm.bsky.social · 19/03/2026$200 Billion. Sure. Why not. This is exactly what MAGA voted for. The neo-GOP party of fiscal responsibility and no new wars is playing 4-D chess, right? <rolling eyes so hard my head hurts> 000
KM Kemi @kemikm.bsky.social · 17/03/2026It appears the US role in the world is to do the bidding of others. The US is the de facto henchman of the Middle East. The bluster from the US administration is performance art. 000
KM Kemi @kemikm.bsky.social · 03/03/2026I’m back from my Caribbean break from the world. I see now I should have stayed at the beach and put all those gold coins back in the cave. 000
KM Kemi @kemikm.bsky.social · 21/02/2026My view does not suck. Self care, baby. Coming back stronger. 000
KM Kemi @kemikm.bsky.social · 19/02/2026I don’t watch sports very often, but I might care more if it had a more Norwegian spirit. 000
KM Kemi @kemikm.bsky.social · 19/02/2026Heading out on a retreat with limited contact. Usually that’s rejuvenating. This time I’m not entirely sure what kind of world I will return to. The possibility of a complete and increasingly violent constitutional crisis at home and the beginnings of a world war in the Middle East is real. 000
KM Kemi @kemikm.bsky.social · 17/02/2026I spend a great deal of time explaining to my 88 year old mother what is and isn’t true on the internet. She’s easily misled and prone to panic and paranoia. We’ve reached the point where I’m telling her to assume nothing is true. This technologically advanced world is working out great. 000
Reposted by KM KemiMrs. Betty Bowers @mrsbettybowers.bsky.social · 15/02/2026So the United States will only use empty warehouses to house people it wants to terrorize, not people it wants to shelter from the cold. We really are not a very good-natured country. 634138454065
Reposted by KM KemiSarah J. Jackson @sjjphd.bsky.social · 15/02/2026Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources. 6474120113894
KM Kemi @kemikm.bsky.social · 13/02/2026Warehouses for detainees? Hmmm. That’s a perfect way to concentrate people in a small space, like a camp of sorts. The prisoners can stay there until some sort of solution to the problem can be found. Why does this sound familiar? 000
KM Kemi @kemikm.bsky.social · 13/02/2026It’s curious how business leaders and politicians from outside the US who are in the Epstein files are resigning without a fight. They know what’s in the files and clearly they don’t see a way out. Meanwhile, the arrogant cowards in the US are betting on the coverup. Morals and ethics be damned. 000
KM Kemi @kemikm.bsky.social · 13/02/2026I gladly and with and open heart give grace to those recovering from addiction. I just don’t think they should be the United States Secretary of Health and Human Services whose anecdotes of his lowest moments are not the relatable flex he thinks they are. 000
