“We’re here peacefully protesting, looking as ridiculous as we can, just so maybe we appeal to the president because he’s a ridiculous leader that is normalizing abuse of power. And we cannot stand and act like nothing is happening.” 🦄

“I tried to get a Portland frog outfit and they were sold out until November!”

Frogs, axolotls, and at least one giant pink hippo made its way through Manhattan on Saturday, alongside thousands of others, part of the nationwide “No Kings” rallies.

Jay Brown, HRC:

LGBTQ+ people live in every zip code and are from every background.

We were born here and we immigrated here.

We come from red families and from blue families.

And we are here to say that this is our America too.

Unbelievable. Per U.S.Senator Merkley, the federal govt staged a FAKE RIOT a few nights ago in Portland. They marched what appeared to be peaceful protesters down a street — then unleashed pepper balls, tear gas, and flash-bangs that sounded like gunfire, while cameras #BlueSky #NewsSky

I thought this would shake us all. That we’d stop and say, “No. This isn’t who we are.”

But instead, the V.P. defended these words and somehow, we’re still debating whether that’s “partisan.”

The only two sides here are decency and indecency, humanity and hate.

America, what happened to us?👇

I'm currently dealing with long covid as well. It sucks. I can't even walk to the mailbox without being out of breath and having to sit down. It sucks. And yet, all the things still have to happen and bills have to be paid, and it's just me.

Thanks! I'll try that. Even though it's freezing out I have the doors open and the attic fan on, and I sprayed clove oil all around too.

I think I have to move, like, right now.
I heard a loud pop in my kitchen and went to see what it was. A rotten egg had exploded on the counter. The stench is terrible. Definitely have to move, tonight!! Lol!!! Yuck!!!!!
Anyone have suggestions for getting rid of the smell??
