Today, I ruined a restaurant worker's"whole day" by saying "I'm so sorry, it seems like your machine is out of this syrup, so there is no flavor, could I please have a Dr. Pepper instead." To be honest, I feel incredibly powerful if I can do that, when I begin with an apology and end with please.

Seeing a MAGA hat in Mexican restaurant this week made me want to throw my salsa in his face. You get the seasoning you voted for, a$$h0le.

I am asking my representatives, @murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov @emilyrandallwa.bsky.social, please boycott the state of the union, and consider a government shutdown. You need to use every tool available to you. They've fucked around, it's time for the finding out. #boycottstateoftheunion

Book 16 - Gone Wolf by Amber McBride. This book was intense, unique, and timely. I recommend it if you are in a good place emotionally. Lots of potential triggers here, though. However, I am really happy with this square for this book. 📚💙 #booksky #bookblanket2025

While the felon in chief has been attempting to erase anyone that's not a cishetwhiteman, seeing the American flag made from dancers that look like the ones who really built our nation took my breath away. Hell yes, more please.

This week, I resisted by: Focusing on my health and recovery. Providing testimony for a state lawsuit against harmful EO's. Distributing food for the weekend to low-income/ homeless students at work. Facing my dental fears and asking for help advocating when panic set in. #todayiresistedby

Book 15: Sorcery and Small Magics. This one was a good place for my mind to rest. It has been a long couple of weeks. The characters were well rounded, and I liked the world the author built. #booksky 💙📚 #bookblanket2025 #sorceryandsmallmagics

5 ways to celebrate #BlackHistoryMonth (cause the fed govt doesn’t run your house) 1. Find out what Sojourner Truth REALLY said 2. Buy a Black horror, scifi or fantasy book 3. Listen to “Naima” by John Coltrane 4. Send the victims of the LA fires in Altadena a few coins 5. Get a library card

Insomnia thought: Stellan Skarsgård has achieved the same Disney Trifecta (Disney, Star Wars, Marvel) as Ming-na Wen. Are there others? Help me, #disneyadults ! It occurs to me that if this hand an EGOT-like nickname, it could be the DSM, which is not as funny as I currently think it is.

Book 13: Yellowface by RF Kyang.💙📚 Either the timing was wrong, or the book isn't for me. Reminded me of how I felt reading Gatsby. I understand the message, but right now, I don't need more awful people on my mind, even fictional ones. #bookblanket2025 #crochet #booksky #books

Asperger's isn't really a diagnosis anymore. It was deleted from the DSM in 2013, and now it's all under autism spectrum disorder. The ugly side of this is because Hans Asperger was a Yahtzee collaborator, who sent kids who were disabled to be unalived. An Asperger's dx meant you got to live. 1

Trump’s anti-trans Executive Order is bad BUT it technically defines everyone as female. It states: “'Female' means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell." Since all fetuses "at conception" are female, Trump just defined EVERYONE as female.
