This sums up our overall “protesting” experience pretty well — it’s been very therapeutic… a processing of grief on both a personal and societal level.

Talk about symbolically too on the nose… yeesh! 😱

My hubby’s family runs the political spectrum, while we 🏳️‍🌈 were No Kings, his sister was at a gun show in TX, and his brother avoids it all. Thankfully his parents are Democrats, but also tend to avoid uncomfortable political talk (tho it’s all uncomfortable these days) 🤪

What a great way to kick off my birthday at the #NoKings protest in Las Cruces, NM! The biggest crowd yet and such “joyful warrior” spirit! It’s so easy to get down these days and these rallies are such an emotional lift!

An a-ha moment that I’ve had over this past decade or so, is the the GOP are more Old Testament (vengeful god, existential battle of good vs. evil, etc.), while Democrats are more New Testament/Jesus-y (help the poor, welcome the stranger, etc.) 🤔

This actual quote made me LOL and then I thought about how true and unfunny it is. 😂😅

Sad to see this. Thought it was hokey at first, but then realized that was the whole point, a homage to all the network sitcoms I grew up with, but gay. Very gay. 😂 Gay joy that’s very much needed right now. (And one last great role for Linda Lavin too, RIP) #MidCenturyModern #Hulu

Not my photo, but a very apropos neon light outage at one of our local grocery stores here in Las Cruces.

Shame on HGTV, on this episode of “Zillow Gone Wild” (guilty pleasure, don’t judge 😂). This lady was saying how you can see all the way to Abiquiu from her Taos rooftop deck and the show put up this graphic. 🤦‍♂️ Ummm, there is absolutely no way you could see Albuquerque (or A.B.Q 🤣) from Taos.

Pre-ordered this one and it arrived today. Feels kind of masochistic to read this and Harris’ media day today didn’t necessarily change my mind, but I’ll likely dig in soon.

I swear things seem to be getting more Handmaid's Tale every day, between Melania's lamp shade outfit in the UK and this Kirk memorial service over the weekend.

Squeaked by and allegedly got one of the last sacks of hot Hatch green chile roasted for the 2025 season. 😅🌶️🔥

You’ll never catch me at Chick-Fil-A or Hobby Lobby, but this boycott list is ridiculously unrealistic. Or consider our local TV: Fox & CBS owned by Sinclair (boycott), NBC by Nexstar (behind the Kimmel “cancellation,” - so boycott) so the only option… ABC (boycott along w/Disney, Hulu, ESPN). 🤷‍♂️

Ed @edzeenm.bsky.social · Sep 20

Yep! 🤦‍♂️

Another silly laugh 😂

Anything that makes me laugh these days is worth sharing 😂

Through my initial push on today’s Spelling Bee, but now as I try to come up with new words … the four letter C-word is like an ear worm! 😂

Just saw a snippet of Kirk’s wife/widow “address to the nation,” and it was sooooo early Serena Joy from Handmaid’s Tale. Scary. Chilling. 😅
