Today is the birthday of the amazing Carrie Fisher

Long ago, I was super depressed- i met her at a convention, she looked at me in the eyes and said, “Listen to Space Mom - I want you to take your meds & live another day – even if just for spite. And remember to give stupid people the finger!”

They said that’s it, I have way to appeal and getting banned for following rules isn’t good for my mood

💧Hot take: Water isn’t wet or dry.

It’s the non-binary child of matter.
Solid’s too rigid. Gas is too flighty.
Water’s just out here like, “I contain multitudes.

“You can’t label me. I make things wet, I vibe with ice, and I flirt with steam.”

Back in 2018,
@thecityofsac.bsky.social
removed benches from K Street and Old Sac… temporarily. When does temporary end?

I have mobility limitations and severe knee pain. I need to sit. But the city’s message to disabled and temporary disabled like me is clear: “Stay the fuck home”

My mom said she knew I was gay way before I came out. Not just because of the posters of hot rocker dudes in tight jeans—but because teenage me used to watch rugby on satellite TV religiously…
Did I understand the rules? Absolutely not.
Could I name the players? Oh yes 🏉🍑 #GayAwakening

A woman was arrested after a kid called her “Miss Piggy” on a plane.

If she didn’t scream “Hiiii-yaaaa!!” and karate chop him like the real Miss Piggy, I’m disappointed.

Imagine getting offended… and then serving full Miss Piggy energy anyway. 🐷💅🥋

Today I fully channeled my inner ‘80s teen and called someone a “hoser” at a stop sign for not going when it was clearly their turn.

Now excuse me while I put in an overcoat and grab a boom box and stand outside my crushes window

The fact that it took conservative Americans over 40 years to realize Bruce Springsteen isn’t on their side says a lot—mostly about their self-awareness.

He’s been singing about working-class struggle, systemic injustice for decades #BruceSpringsteen

Happy First Contact Day!
On April 5, 2063, humanity made its first official contact with the Vulcans.

It reminds us that a better future is possible—where we learn from our past, celebrate differences, and delight in the beautiful diversity

Live long and prosper! 🖖

Looks like America’s hard times are almost over

The U.S. just slapped a 20% tariff on Ireland, which happens to supply nearly all of our Viagra.

Let’s see how long we can keep it up.

I am a firm believer in wearing what you want when you want! Unless you want to wear an orange polyester jumpsuit ... then I can't be held responsible for what happens.
