So this is me, here, where the skies are bluer and the Not!zis fewer (I hope).
I'm a fat, very liberal white woman with CPTSD who talks about ridiculous TV shows, TTRPGs, and Jensen Ackles as much as I ever talk about anything serious. I try to write fiction sometimes.

Bitterness and cynicism are a form of surrender, when anger at injustice remains but the will to confront it is dulled by resignation. As true warriors, let anger at injustice be bright and righteous, and let it drive us to confront its cause, stand in its way, and cast it down.

Someone in Congress needs to sponsor the Pretti-Good Act of 2026. It would:
1) remove immunity from any federal agent who willfully and intentionally violates the constitutional rights of a civilian;
2) prohibit any federal agent from pretending to have a judicial warrant if they don’t, from

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

FYI: Dems in the senate can't defund ICE. ICE is funded by the Big Ugly Bill. Shutting down DHS on this vote wouldn't touch ICE, but it would shut down FEMA, TSA, Coast Guard, etc. Shutting down ICE requires taking back Congress in the midterms. Dismantling DHS requires the White House in 2028.

Unless the alleged opposition party commits itself to undoing everything Trump did and prosecuting the people responsible, the United States will not be seen as a trustworthy partner for at least a century.

We all know the usual body-related New Years’ Resolutions, all the ways people are taught to think of the new year as a time to tell themselves they aren’t acceptable unless their bodies change.

One way that the reaction to Rob Reiner's murder mirrors Charlie Kirk's is that the best way to eulogize each of them is to quote their words, and in both cases, doing so pisses off conservatives.

A wonderfu case study in why lawyers hate what they do.
So as you know, I am having surgery next month, and I filed motions for continuances in my cases as a result.
Most of them were granted. Of those, about half gave me less time than I asked for. Three were outright denied.
