I'm tired. There's so damn many things to fight, everywhere, all at once. Homophobia. Transphobia. Misogyny. Antisemitism. White supremacy. Actual fucking Nazis running for office. Gun fetishism. Ignorance. Cruelty. Greed. Corruption. Violence. Apathy.
And I'm very aware...
David and I arrived in San Diego late last night, and I haven’t watched TV or checked Twitter except to see news on Julian Sands. (Keep praying- he’s still missing.) Now the news is on and I’m crying. Dear God, deliver us from guns and those that wield them. It’s beyond too much.
Federal and state agencies in the US have joined the search for Julian Sands, using mobile phone forensics to help pinpoint the location of the British actor

Olympic levels of ignorance paired with hubris is a deadly combination. It is the birthplace of unprovoked rage and bigotry. I have to start limiting my news intake and spend more time hugging my dogs. I can’t take this epic evil.
Spending a quiet afternoon with my new best friend, a good cup of Big D's coffee, and the ever present lip balm. Schicchi approaches, and with soft lips...mwahh, ha, ha... #SanDiegoOpera
I always forget how insanely sexy Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert are in “It Happened One Night.” Woof. Capra’s modesty “Walls of Jericho” were an inspired choice to create comic and romantic tension. They never kiss, and that just makes the ending all the more delightful.
Someone tell me, where is Humanity? I am begging you, send out search and rescue for Humanity! They used to hang out with Kindness and Understanding, but ever since Common Sense took an indefinite hiatus, Humanity has been a no show. Generosity can’t stop crying, please help.
George Santos says he helped develop carbon capture technology, “I’ve had a very extensive role in the gas and oil in this country.” #ResignGeorgeSantos
That moment when you are adding spices to your dish and you dither about how many tbsps. of chili powder you are putting in because you are cooking from memory, so you throw caution to the wind and get on with it already. I just found the recipe- whew. 😛
FYI the Missouri GOP banning women from showing their bare arms isn’t a sign of Shariah or Taliban—it’s a sign of right wing “Christian” extremism in the U.S. Govt.
Stop deflecting extremism in America as something foreign. It’s 100% American. Admit it. Own it. Work to stop it.
A reminder to those hysterically asking why the DOJ didn’t announce that Biden had turned over documents back in November…the only reason we know about the FBI’s presence at Mar A Lago is because Creamsicle Caligula told the world. Neither the DOJ or FBI told anyone.
Ever since watching that performance in the House last week, this line has been playing over and over in my mind:
“Let all the poison that lurks in the mud, hatch out.”

Well, I am a little embarrassed this took me so many tries, but kind of pleased with the words that got me there. Sort of poetic.

Just finished watching #3000YearsOfLonging, and I loved it. #TildaSwinton and #IdrisElba are magical together. Wonderful fantasy, terrific VFX, and incredibly romantic. A lovely escape film.
Eleven-year-old Jude Kofie, of Aurora, Colorado, demonstrated a remarkable talent no one anticipated when he discovered an old keyboard and, without any lessons, began playing - a talent piano tuner Bill Magnusson termed "Mozart level." https://cbsn.ws/3ih52KV
As I watched this last night, I thought: “Wow, that is too close for comfort.” Whoever this guy was, he got close enough that no cameras could catch what he was saying, and he clearly knows where the cameras are. A T-rump enforcer.
Who is that, whispering to Matt Gaetz? And what did he say? Because first Mattie turns pale under his orange makeup, and then he changes his vote to Kevin.
This is Abby Zwerner, a first grade teacher in Virginia who is in critical condition after being deliberately shot by one of her 6-year-old students.
A student brought bullets to school the previous week. This is the America the NRA has brought.
If there is one thing this week made clear, it’s that there is no governance coming from the GOP, only retribution. Nothing good comes from revenge, only justice. And not always even from justice, especially when it is impossible to agree on what truth is. Too woke? 😱😱😱
