On the plus side, this election result has given me ample opportunities to discuss my deep and abiding devotion to swearing as a spiritual practice.
No human is "garbage."
Our Somali neighbours are NOT garbage.
Wild that we have to affirm the basic humanity of an entire people group, but here we are.

The red scare gene and “pull yourself up by the bootstraps” hive mind is so pervasive in the US that way too many people would rather go hungry than dare get “hand outs” from a food pantry
Suffering through poverty without accepting help isn’t a virtue. Humans are designed to help each other

There's a lot the current administration must be made to answer for when held accountable for their crimes against humanity, but I humbly request that we add to the list the fact that I can no longer buy myself a kilogram of Allens Cheekies and have them shipped to me in the US.

If someone in your life has published a written piece of work, say nice things about it on the internet. I promise you, they want you to say nice things about their writing on the internet. Lie if you have to.

Not to brag, or anything, but I'm finishing my 10th Hoopla read with a scant 6 hrs remaining until I get my next ten Hoopla reads and honestly this must be how Boudicca felt when she led the charge against the Romans.

Me remembering on September 29th that it's #BisexualVisibilityMonth might be a pretty good example of me making their point for them.

Today's news cycle is (once again) bleak. LC drove me up to Two Harbors so I could "see something pretty" and be reminded (anew) that there's good in the world (still).

Hey folks, I don't know why Amazon isn't delivering copies of Burnt Offerings until April next year but I do know you can get it from @thepilgrimpress.bsky.social
right now so feel free to adjust your purchasing plans accordingly. 🤷♀️
Also, Amazon is evil.

I do not condone gun violence. AND. Anyone who has studied the Psalms has no business claiming that rejoicing in someone's death is unbiblical.

Shout out to my uterus for deciding that 6 days into round two of chemotherapy would be about the perfect time to stick her godsdamned oar back in after a delightful 10 month menstrual hiatus.

Hi Folks.
A super cool and fun fact is that I've been diagnosed with Stage 3 Her2+ Invasive Ductile Carcinoma... aka #BreastCancer.
*sad glitter
Obvs the worst part of this is getting the cancer that has the pink ribbon, when I actively dislike pink. 😄
