The looks on your faces is priceless. The cost to the people of Kentucky to have this almost-corpse representing them is astronomical.

Dolly Parton inspired others through her legacy of freedom of expression, too. She was Dolly & she wore, looked & did EXACTLY what she wanted to, no matter what people thought or said, from age 17 to 77. She was an icon who took "life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness" to limitless heights.
Dolly Parton looking hot as hell at age 77 dressed as a Dallas cheerleader. She looks like she's wearing a crop top and short shorts only, but actually she also has a beige bodysuit underneath that with a bunch of rhinestones all over it. Her waist is skinny. Her legs are fit. Her hair was big and blonde. She looked as iconic as ever. This is from the Thanksgiving, 2023 halftime show in Dallas.

This POS was on a tour through the lobby of an Austin hotel I stayed at on 7/14. I recognized him bc of this thread. He made a non-funny joke about the rainbow ATX decor (see photo) the hotel had up for Pride. I made a derisive laugh at him & the 2 young people w/him looked duly embarrassed. Creep.

It's mind blowing how bad a person Lindsey Graham was.
Headline and subheadline screenshot: 

Sen. Lindsey Graham says Israel should do 'whatever' it has to while comparing the war in Gaza to Hiroshima and Nagasaki

The GOP senator compared Israel's military operations to the U.S. dropping atomic bombs on Japan in World War II, saying, "Israel, do whatever you have to do."

Not a GOP operation!!! Reckoning Action: Resist Misogyny in Power reckoningaction.org/about/
Who We Are

“The next generation of women is putting our stake in the ground. We are going to have to take up this fight."
— CHEYENNE HUNT
We are an organization of women and allies simultaneously changing the story Americans tell about women, contesting the laws being used to subjugate them, and supporting survivors – all while threatening the careers of the men and institutions responsible.Cheyenne Hunt is the Founder and Executive Director of Reckoning Action. She is an attorney, organizer, and advocate who has spent her career at the intersection of law, policy, and movement-building, moving between the courtroom, Capitol Hill, and the United Nations in service of justice and human rights. The daughter of a single mother and the descendant of Syrian refugees, Hunt was the first in her family to graduate from college, earning dual degrees in political science and public policy before going on to UC Irvine School of Law. On Capitol Hill, she became a law clerk for Senator Amy Klobuchar's office, working with the Senate Judiciary Committee.Since May 2025, Hunt has served as Executive Director of Gen-Z for Change, one of the country's leading progressive narrative change and advocacy organizations, mobilizing the largest generation of voters in American history through creator networks, coalition campaigns, and a sophisticated command of how political narratives are won and lost in the digital era.

In April 2026, she helped break one of the most consequential political misconduct stories in recent memory. Working from a group chat with two other women, she helped force a sitting seven-term congressman out of a gubernatorial frontrunner position and his congressional seat in eleven days, reigniting a national conversation about power, accountability, and the women who have been bearing the cost of both for far too long.

She founded Reckoning Action because that fight deserves a permanent home.

fricken goddess on earth 💜💜💜
Wunmi Mosaku at the Mexican premier of sinners. The red carpet stuff is in the background. This is a photo from head to knee of Ms Mosaku wearing a bright purple shimmering dress with slit up to mid thigh on her right leg, a slightly low v-neck showing a little bit of her very full cleavage, and gathered ruching in the center to compliment her gorgeous Venus silhouette. Her hairs is a thick braid as coronet around her head. Her make up is glamorous and matches in tone of her dress with dark raisin toned glossy lips and subtle shimmering purple shadow. Her dark brown skin is flawless and glowing. That's why I said she's a goddess.

It's apropos to see this chart—which someone pointed out polled all voters, not just Dem or left voters, so baked into the response are right wingers—on the day Rev Jesse Jackson passed, and so people are sharing these wise words from his '88 DNC speech. The juxtaposition speaks volumes.
I'm often asked, "Jesse, why do you take on these tough issues? They're not very political. We can't win that way."

If an issue is morally right, it will eventually be political. It may be political and never be right. Fanny Lou Hamer didn't have the most votes in Atlantic City, but her principles have outlasted the life of every delegate who voted to lock her out. Rosa Parks did not have the most votes, but she was morally right. Dr. King didn't have the most votes about the Vietnam War, but he was morally right. If we are principled first, our politics will fall in place. "Jesse, why do you take these big bold initiatives?" A poem by an unknown author went something like this: "We mastered the air, we conquered the sea, annihilated distance and prolonged life, but we're not wise enough to live on this earth without war and without hate."

All 6 New England states are Blue. Kraft sucks but so do the Allens. So do all billionaires. Why TF is the team from the most consistently Dem part of the country associated w/ MAGA just b/c the creepy owner is buds w/Dump? Is every Giants fan a pedo b/c of Tisch? Of course not! So annoying.

Meme that reads:

When ICE:
- Shoots civilians
- Disappears people
- Violates due process
- Terrorizes communities

And Congress keeps funding them and moving on...

That's not powerlessness. 

That's consent

Billionaires are creeps and such a class should not exist. This applies to the Krafts & the Allens. (If you gave your support for a team based on their owner's ethics, you could only root for Green Bay.) Given this, I say GO PATS!!!!!
NFL Owners Are Creepy Billionaires *headline*

Two columns, left has Pats logo and Robert Kraft with a red background and a list with checkmarks are bullet points. The list is:

That weird thing with the massage parlor in Florida
Big Trump donor and big Obama donor, WTH?
Lots of philanthropic donations and foundations (excellent tax shelters!)

Right has Seahawks logo and Jody Allen with a green background and a list on a navy background with checkmarks are bullet points. The list is:
That weird thing with making male bodyguards wear speedos
She & her brother contributed to Democratic and Republican corportist candidates & PACs, equally
Lots of philanthropic donations and foundations (excellent tax shelters!)

Bridget Eileen Madden (she/her) @notebookwitch.bsky.social · 02/02/2026
Bob Kraft buying handies in Jupiter is gross & weird. Jody Allen smuggling giraffe bones & ogling bodyguards who she forced to wear speedos is also gross and weird. If we hate a sports team based on their weirdo billionaire owners behavior, then we have to just hate all the sports teams...

Speaking of tainted planes... not excusing the Patriots plane issues (in fairness the players hate their plane!) but corporate ties on both teams suck because corporatism sucks and is a mainstay of multibillion dollar industries!

A reminder that the billionaire ownership associated with both teams suck! Paul Allen donated 100k to a PAC supporting Republicans in the 2018 midterms on his deathbed practically. Joan is more low key but the 1% wealthy are all of a piece. Therefore, GO PATRIOTS!

The depravity is initially shocking but then not at all so because ICE is just a bunch of amateur thugs hired to cause chaos for Stephen Miller's xenophobic psycho fever dreams.
Witness statement excerpt reading:

9. As I approached, I saw that the victim was lying on his side and was surrounded by several ICE agents. I was confused as to why the victim was on his side, because that is not a standard practice when a victim has been shot. Checking for a pulse and administering CPR is standard practice. [Then highlighted in yellow is the following text:] Instead of doing either of those things, the ICE agents appeared to be counting his bullet wounds.

One day last year after listening to that song I decided to jump on Canva and try to bring to life what a body like Arnold with a Denzel face would actually look like.
Arnold Schwarzenegger as Conan the Barbarian, shirtless with long hair and a sword is in the foreground. Super imposed over Arnold's face is Denzel Washington's head, and he is wearing a very skeptical look on his face. Over Denzel's head, though, is the leather headband crown of Conan the Barbarian with silver stud work. Arnzel Schwarzington looks to be on a sidewalk on Venice Beach. In the background, "standing" on the same sidewalk are the 3 women of Salt N Pepa as seen in a mid-90s magazine shoot. They are gorgeous and have on denim short with those plaid shirts and crop tops that were popular back then and making a retro comeback now. The image is so wrong and in my not humble opinion, hilarious. On the bottom right hand side, I added my website to the corner imprint, "NotebookWitch.com"

The late NPR correspondent and High Priestess, Margot Adler's comprehensive tome on modern paganism & witchcraft, "Drawing Down the Moon" 🌙 And I'd finish my oath by saying, "so help me Goddesses." 😁
Cover of book with black background. Title in all caps in white "Drawing Down the Moon" at top. The OO'd in moon have a smaller red moonphase symbol over them. In a more mystical font in red below the title is the subtitle "Witches, Druids, Goddess Worshippers, and Other Pagans in America Today" 
Below that in smaller all caps white font is "with a completely updated resource guide" then below that is the author name in larger white all caps font "Margot Adler" Below that is a dark photo of a person in the night at waterfront, probably ocean, with the illuminated night sky and water and dark clouds in the background. The person has their arms raised. They are part of a large circle of red candle light on the sand. At the bottom of the cover is the publisher imprint. It's red with white lettering but too small to read in the photo.

These go to eleven is my favorite jokey reference to make, and I do so as frequently as possible. My favorite instance was when the 3rd graders at the school where I was an assistant teacher studied Moh's Hard Rock Scale. I made this. Mostly for my fellow teachers.
Pink background graphic explaining Moh's ^New Gard Rock Scale with the "new" in a carrot with a cursive font and the regular title in a blocky shadowed font. Then there is a number with an arrow to a text box naming the type of rock, then an arrow to a photo of a rock musician or band. It goes from left to right across the 5:4 ratio picture:

1 Talc, John Tesh
2 Gypsum, Kenny G
3 Calcite, Nelson
4 Fluorite, George Michael
5 Apatite, Nickelback
6 Orthoclase, Bon Jovi
7 Quartz, Heart
8 Topaz, Nirvana
9 Corundum, Jimi Hendrix 
10 Diamond, Ozzy Osborne

And then across the the bottom it has:

11 "These," photo of Spinal Tap 

Along the left hand bottom corner is a little watermark kind of graphic for @NotebookWitch

I don't remember this scene in Muppet Christmas. These are all Muppet dolls, right? Real humans do not have faces that resemble Janice
Janice the Muppet, squinty eyes so squished they're just big false eyelash's, gigantic lips, wide mouth, pulled back looking skin, disappearing nose. Janine is in a peasant blouse in white with pink floral print and there a caption that read "fer sure" to try to mimic Janice's California 60s hippie accent.

S/o to @rhodesben.bsky.social & Tommy Vietor for reminding us this Macy's Parade #felching moment
It's dark but well lit on a major street in NYC. There's a huge crowd, waiting for the Macy's day parade. Apparently some wind had blown the floats down so that the Uncle Sam float is lying down and Spider Man has his face squished in between Sam's legs as if he's perhaps felching. The crowd doesn't seem to notice but somehow the photographer was able to capture it.

Hear me out, what if we just all started calling him Jonald T Dump, super matter-of-fact-ly, every single time we discussed him, from now until his presidency ends? Wouldn't that be so funny? 😆 (See alt text for example.)
A fake graphic that reads DONALD TRUMP for Zohran Mamdani using the golden yellow font with reddish orange shadow of Mayor-Elect Mamdani's 2025 mayoral campaign. The typical bright royal blue background is transparent in order to have a faint photo of Mamdani's visit to the Oval Office showing underneath it. In the photo Zohran is smiling pleasantly facing the camera standing to Jonald T Dump's side while Jonald sits at the Resolute Desk and looks up adoringly at Mamdani.

Way off topic but Mamdani has under-eye dimples. I do, too. The significance of this is that we are now best friends on account of our shared unique facial feature.
A photo of Bridget Eileen Madden next to a screenshot of a close up of Mamdani. Both have open mouth smiles. A patina green arrow graphic points to a dimple at the top of their cheeks, under the corner of the left eye of both people.
