I hate that I get tired out of nowhere. I was doing so well earlier. But I did accomplish a good deal, just not all that I'd wanted to. Remember to give yourself credit for the things you DO accomplish!

How does one have pride when sick? This is the eternal tug of war. Self-hatred is not the answer but it is what I gravitate towards. I do not judge other people for being sick. How to give myself that same grace?

I have many dreams of being homeless. I try to find places to sleep in the corners of other people's rooms, behind cars, beneath bushes, anywhere I can try to curl up. On cold days like this I am conscious every second of how lucky I am to have a warm place to sleep.

Whether fake or real, the new Alex Pretti video changes nothing. Unless you think ICE has a right to execute people over a grudge? I think there are people who honestly think so.

I was wondering why he wasn't mentioning her! As the winner of the election she should naturally be the pick to be in charge. Anyone wondering why Trump has our mistrust need look no further. He is a child.
Alt National Park Service Facebook post:
The level of pettiness here is almost unbelievable. According to sources close to The White House who spoke to WaPo, Donald Trump reportedly soured on supporting Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado after she accepted a Nobel Peace Prize instead of insisting it be awarded to him. Insiders described that decision as an unforgivable "sin" in Trump's eyes.

The US is now responsible for the governance of Venezuela. Toppling the regime of a smaller country is always the easy part. The hard part is what comes after. Neo-cons always expect a pro-US nirvana. It rarely works out. But I suppose the oil companies can seize some assets.

The best way to celebrate a birthday, to me, is going out to dinner. No decorations, no singing, no presents (I know, I'm a spoil sport), just a wonderful meal that everyone gets to enjoy. It's like one's birthday is an excuse for *everyone* to get the gift of yummy noms. Mmmm! 🥰

WTF? ICE is arguing in court that US CITIZENS can be detained, handcuffed, and biometrically screened unless they can prove citizenship on the spot. And that a REAL ID isn't enough. This isn't border security.

Why can't food make me feel better? Similar to how other people might ask why isn't this alcohol making me feel better or why isn't this drug making me feel better? Because the key is to SIT with the bad feelings, not escape them. But oh Lord I don't want to. *sad sigh*

Trump keeps escalating his dangerous rhetoric, and it's fueling a surge in death threats against anyone he labels an "enemy." His Truth Social posts aren't subtle, they're prompting MAGA supporters to bombard people with threatening calls, emails, and online messages. Even members of his own party are now publicly urging him to stop because they're increasingly worried about their own safety.

Trump on Jamal Khashoggi: You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman...Whether you like him or don't, things happen. But he[MBS] knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest

PoliticsGirl on X.com:

"Things happen"???
Jamel Khashoggi was murdered, chopped into pieces, put into suitcases, and flown out of the country. US intelligence confirmed MBS's involvement. But we shouldn't
"embarrass our guest"???

The same man who famously said “grab ‘em by the p*ssy” called a female reporter a “piggy”. No other journalists stood up for her. No one spoke out We need people speaking out We need someone, preferably a man, to say “no Mr Trump, you do NOT speak to our colleague that way” We need backbone

I keep thinking about the Raymond Williams line: "To be truly radical is to make hope possible rather than despair convincing". Hope is not easy. Despair seems obvious. But every howl of despair manifests as further malignance. Compliance with fascism is despair metastasising.

When having a political discussion, Maga Republicans inevitably resort to two things: personal attacks ("you only have 61 Facebook friends, what a loser!") or deflection ("I don't care about anything you said, let's talk about this instead"). They never engage on the merits of the arguments. Never.
