At last night’s State of the Union address, President Donald Trump went on offense, seeming to try to set the terms for the upcoming midterm elections.

When my 9 year old asks why people are clapping for the president, my response probably shouldn’t be “Because they like the taste of his ass”. But here we are.

My hubby who listens to metal and hates pretty much anything watched the half time show & said “what am I supposed to be offended by? It’s good.”

2025 recap: still consulting for an awesome American client and am a Girl Scout mom and volunteer. I lazily joined the PTA, I did a lot of drawing and writing this year. I’m up for a promotion at my job so fingers crossed!

When I see my mom, I call it “Visiting the Dragon” and “Appeasing the Dragon” when I leave. I know in a month she will spit guilt-trip fire at me to visit her again. Surely, this is normal.

Finally finished my last big bang story of the year. It was 40K, still being beta read. Posting on Tuesday. I need to a break! I can’t do five big bangs in a year again. It was almost too much!

A typical discussion in our family: Kid: “mom does that mean you don’t care about my opinion like dad?” Me: “Eh, comme si, comme sa. It depends.” Dad: “Depends, that’s what your grandma wore before she died.” Us in a nutshell.

This new tool lets artists 'poison' their artwork to deter AI companies from using it to train their models—here’s how it works
If an artist doesn't want their pieces being used to train AI image generators, a new tool called Nightshade would let them "poison" their artwork.

My uncle is a huge angry Trump supporter, and yet he supports this rapist when his own niece is a sex abuse survivor. Talk about the ultimate betrayal.

Bernie Sanders could have been our president in 2020 but Democrats sabotaged him. He is still out there fighting for us and I can’t be more inspired by him to keep fighting for what America truly could be - a place of hope for everyone.

I keep wanting to imagine an alternate world where Kamala won, and how much safer and secure the world would be, how I would feel. It all depresses me how much better things could be.

I have no sympathy for people who voted for Trump and now regret it. You are dumb and should feel bad, plain and simple. You were warned. Not only that, every loony thing he said didn’t deter you, his felonies and actions, and you still supported him? Own it.

This animal is on the edge of extinction. Trump just fired the people trying to save it.
Job cuts and frozen funding could inch one of the world’s rarest species even closer to extinction.

During World War II, more than 120,000 Japanese Americans were forcibly sent to camps simply because of their heritage. We must never allow history to repeat itself. As a member of @capac.house.gov, I will always stand up for #AANHPI communities and civil rights.
