My sister and I are leaving for Europe next week. Our group chat is very chatty so my sister said I have to be "the social one". I said, "I live in a basement apartment, am an introvert, and read too many books. So yeah, I don't think that's gonna work out".

Streisand Effect. Congrats, Robert Kraft and pro genocide supporters. You've just made Macklemore and his speech mentioning "Free Palestine" into a global issue, galvanizing the majority.

It's September. It's Spooky Season in Salem. So this begs the question: do I want to contend with the crowds? Absolutely not. But is it a beautiful day and Salem is amazing? Yes. So I guess I'm heading to Salem this afternoon...

I changed the voice on my MapQuest, so now instead of an intimidating British upper crust voice, I have a lovely, soothing voice that sounds remarkably like Allison Janney.

Do NOT use that link. Myself and many others will be sharing the true and proper links for voting info up until the elections in November. President @barackobama.bsky.social is a great follow for solid voting information, also.

Went out for some bloodwork and vaccinations this morning. Now it's going to be a relaxing, mellow Saturday full of reading, working on my packing list for next month's Europe trip, and just hanging out. It's going to be a lovely day...

So, like a good progressive, I deleted Apple Maps and Google Maps and downloaded MapQuest. Now I have a cute little rainbow-maned unicorn barking out directions in a very staid, proper, upper-crust British accent. I'll be honest, it's somewhat intimidating!

In the spirit of renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America (which is stupid by any measure), I propose that we rename the Oval Office to the Oval Outhouse. Who's with me?

So what must we do? First, every one of us must check our voter registration now, not the night before the election and certainly not after discovering at the polling place that our address is wrong or our registration has been marked inactive.

I saw a post about Alina Habba. The post said she is the front runner for KaroLYIN' Leavitt's job. There is no depth to which that woman won't sink.

I can barely stop laughing. Husband just told me there’s a running discussion on threads, “I talked to Mitch today.” But this is priceless. I love Sixth Sense.

Our area had so much fun while the Tartan Army was on the North Shore! It seems they're not getting the same reception in Miami, unfortunately. Lighten up, Miami! The Tartan Army is great!!

The Danvers Costco on a Sunday is not for the faint of heart. I don't know if I need a drink, a therapist, a nap or all three.

My NP told me to take magnesium supplements to help with my insomnia. I was skeptical since I've tried melatonin in the past and it did nothing. But I tried it, and wow. It really does help! I actually picked up the bottle this morning to thank it.

My thoughts are with my friends and former colleagues on Maui. The damage has been severe, but I know how strong they are. Sending love.

The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam. It would take away the rights of working people to make their voices heard at the ballot box. The Senate must reject this bill.

So Krusti Gnome is out. Markwayne Mullin is not an improvement. He's dumb as a bag of hair, and, judging from his little performance at the SOTU, when he tried to rip Rep. Green's sign out of his hands, he's a thug. The burning question: when will he go under the knife for his own Mar-a-Lago face?

I know it's probably immature of me, but that song by Chelsea Gods, "Kristi Noem is a Bird-Legged Ho" gives me joy every day. If I could make it my ring tone, I would.

Prince Andrew arrested over Epstein. South Korea sentenced former president Yoon Suk Yeol to life for imposing martial law. The powerful fall when law and order still have meaning. Only here in the U.S. are they wrapped in silence and called innocent. Justice is not gone. It's stolen. Demand it.

So the Brits have arrested the Andrew formerly known as Prince. Well done. When will the pedo in the Oval Office go down?
