Tried to leave, guess I’m still supposed to be here. Reluctant warrior. Neurodivergent. Credible witch. Finding the clever snarky memes are wearing thin—hoping to find thoughtful resistance, organizing. Trying to leave this world better than I found it

Life is not fair; humans have the capacity to make it more or less so. Repael the Social Security tax cap. People making 17600 per year pay the same social security tax as a person making 5 million per year. the social security system could be solvent forever

@padilla.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov @rephuffman.bsky.social Can we discuss the design of the much needed 101 bypass in Eureka CA and redesign of bike and pedestrian downtown? The worst thing about the Humboldt Bay Area is huge trucks—logging trucks— going through the middle of beautiful town

I once worked with a “nonprofit” charter school that served Latinx students in a metro area. When test scores came in below similarly situated students in public schools, the principal and “CEO” proposed screening out “higher needs” kids. You know, the ones the charter was started for

I’m going to share this at the risk of being raked over hot coals of my witch ancestors. I recently had the did a long tour of duty as a patient in our nation’s mental health system (the part that accepts Medicaid, which is NOT at all like commercials) and gotta say, the sickest were the Trumpers.

I’m so glad for your family! our healthcare system should be robust enough to have capacity to serve our people. All of us. Our people should also be merciful, generous, and responsible to each other. Mercy should not be random.

Cities are unfairly labeled as problems. But we are holding people, youth especially, your people who you have failed to love and take care of. They were failed by families in other parts of this country

Unfortunately, Congress has been borrowing against the Social Security Trust Fund to pay for the never ending wars for oil in the Middle East. Yes, it is the People’s money. Leave it alone, let it grow. And tax the rich.

Gosh, if any great democracy had a President like that, wow. Unfortunately, we have a convicted rapist who was too much of a coward to serve when drafted, knows nothing of life but some twisted reality tv show and has now put the entire world in economic tailspin. Crybaby

The next bonfire coven meeting I propose we make soup together and roast marshmallows. We make the boys watch while we call their mamas on their cell phones and put it all on speaker while they explain, yes to their mamas, wtf they have been doing in their little fascist club.

From personal experience I can confirm that one minor can rape another. And “forcible“ is just another term that weaponizes the process against complainant/survivors. I don’t mean that to be a slash at anyone. It’s rare to have real people discussing the implications of this area of law.gratitude

Probably Cornell grads, BTW. I’ve been saying this for a long time. But I’m old enough to remember the 1980s serial rapist and killer who turned out to be CHP. a judge said finally, yeah, that’s reasonable for women to wait for a public place to pull over for cops. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_...

As far as I can tell, Endrew F. Was his last good work for SCOTUS. It overturned Gorsuch’s decision in Rowley. I thought it was significant that the case and strongly worded opinion written by Robert’s, was decided during Gorsuch’s confirmation hearings. Should have signaled Congress but alas…

Yes. I get that. Thanks for talking it out. I’m just struggling with the blurry lines and “grey” areas created by the different Definitions. that sloppiness is there due to and in service of male privilege. Consent. Bright lines. Coveture. Property rights. servitude

Should States’ laws regarding “sexual assault“ (another sanitized euphemism for the sake of male privilege) Anyway, don’t States conform to the federal definition of rape as written by the FBI?

If “ICE” doesn’t ID themselves, how can we be sure that anyone claiming to be ICE is actually an employee of the ICE agency. Also, if they are detaining children, why are they not finger printed and run through FBI and DOJ databases?

I have a couple hummingbird feeders and when I sit on the deck, the birds swoop in to feed. Chirping and buzzing me in their fly by. Caught a couple phone photos today.
