This is pretty funny. I also think Kemp has the foresight not to be all in on MAGA in general.

Fun fact, Sergei Prokofiev died the same day. He had no music or flowers at his funeral because all flowers were sent to Stalin’s funeral and all music performances forbidden. Prokofiev had hated Stalin so it was a real bummer.

I’m alive, just preserving my sanity by staying away from most social media.

I lived in a town in the lead belt of MO. Lots of weird shit happened there. The EPA had also poured millions into a town that hated them to remove the lead that was killing them. It’s all too on the nose.

There would not be any kind of popular uprising if this happened!

Also not all rural areas farm, it should be noted. Those places are ESPECIALLY screwed!

I was saying this to Matt recently. Like he’s mad at science because a virus made him look bad.

I was talking about this last night. Does any rural person think Musk gives a crap about farms or understands farm subsidies?

Hardly new info, but BSky should know: Warsaw's water quality is monitored by eight clams with magnets attached to their shells. If contamination in the water causes the clams to close, the magnets trigger an alarm and shut off the city's water supply. Thank you, little guardian molluscs. 🧪🌏🚰

A clam with a spring attached to the shell. The spring has a magnet placed above a sensor.

So I’ve been making pottery for a few months now and I’m happy with how I’m improving. First mug Most recent

Two medium sized clay bodies, still wet, made with earthenware clay.

Find a pottery studio and do a class!

Same! I didn’t think they’d stay together till the inauguration truthfully. You can tell trump is slipping!

Yeah I’m flying next week and not super thrilled about it!

Like when Jesus calls Herod a little bitch? Hysterical.

Sometimes you can be a thorn in someone’s side or a very squeaky wheel too!

Will also say higher level music does this too. That kid gets the solo because they worked harder and/or have more talent. You’re literally seated according to skill level and you still have to work together.

My dad used to make me verbally spar with him and it wasn’t bully per se, but it was cornering someone and making them psychologically implode

Yeah idk why no one has been trying that. Like it’s super obvious what would happen. And when trump turns on him, he’ll turn on trump too.

This guy is so emblematic of how all that inner circle think. No one before them has ever thought these thoughts! They are the smartest people alive! They are unique and special!

Laura @lcpatt.bsky.social · 03/02/2025

Also that trump is very weak and will throw him under the bus to save himself immediately.

Laura @lcpatt.bsky.social · 03/02/2025

It’s important to remember he is very stupid

This seems like the most obvious solution. Wall to wall coverage.

Every time I remember Stephen Miller designed this rush of orders to burn me out specifically I get a new burst of energy from the spite alone. The very thought of my exhaustion giving him an ounce of joy makes me want to burst through walls

I’m just really glad to live in a town that is at least trying to respond to homelessness and care for my unhoused neighbors

I think it’s also “the leopards won’t eat MY face” theory. “Those people” who receive assistance are imagined as some other and RW media has been crafting that since the 80’s. There’s no connection that “them” is actually “you”

Well this is not prescriptive for all people and is where I personally am at. I’m also not sure there have been worse times for looming environmental collapse.

This is primarily why I am firm in not having children. I can’t do that to someone I love.

It’s been surreal to watch the people who taught me not to worship anything but Jesus totally abandon the most basic tenants of Christianity in favor of worshipping the crudest and most basic version of an authoritarian. Turns out the idol wasn’t grades or a boyfriend, it’s always power.

The church programs are funded by federal grants too.

A lot of R voters are *on* these programs

While I recognize they want to cause chaos and strife, they’re also very stupid and have not thought through any of these implications.

My BIL is a federal remote employee and his job has ALWAYS been remote and I haven’t heard if they’re sending him back, but a huge portion of the patent office is that way. They for sure don’t have offices for that.

Here’s a better response for next time: “hey that’s public information you can find with a quick search! Here’s a link to where you can find what district you’re in. Good luck and stay strong!”

Laura @lcpatt.bsky.social · 28/01/2025

It’s also a really bad move to scream at people trying to help. What if I had never tried to contact a politician before and didn’t know they had public numbers? Do you think you helped or hurt that situation? Take your rage out on the people who deserve it, not your allies.

Laura @lcpatt.bsky.social · 28/01/2025

You can just delete your original post instead of doubling down. It’s a very normal question to ask someone to clarify what “most” means. And budget numbers are definitely not as easy to find as you may think since they’re usually split into lots of categories with different labels.
