A sarcastic, curious, Midwestern-born-&-raised weirdo happily living in the more temperate PNW. I love bad movies, good books, food & travel. LGBT+ ally. BLM. Mental health is health. Abortion is healthcare. Solidarity!

I will never get tired of this movie. Everyone is great in it, and the fire effects are still awesome. "You go, we go!!"

The reason they think we are all paid to protest is because they’d never love this country for free.

No, but I did supply coffee and hotdish to the MN chapter a couple times back in '99. It was real cold, and the baby Antifas needed it.

Whatever you do, please don’t stop reading.

Read for joy. Read for education. Read for resistance. Read banned books. Read books by marginalized authors. Read about experiences that differ from your own.

Just. Keep. Reading.

We mourn the passing of Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, a fearless Black trans elder who fought for liberation, dignity, and justice. From Stonewall to decades of advocacy, she taught us to resist, to love fiercely, and to care radically. Her spirit lives on in every fight for collective freedom.

We mourn the passing of Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, a fearless Black transgender elder whose life embodied the struggle for liberation, dignity, and justice. From the Stonewall uprising to her decades of advocacy for incarcerated trans women and communities of color, Miss Major taught generations to resist oppression and love each other fiercely in the face of state violence. Her legacy is one of radical care and defiant joy, a reminder that true freedom means leaving no one behind. May her spirit continue to guide us as we fight for the world she envisioned.

Rest in power, Miss Major. Your legacy and work will live on.

We have a purpose. We’re entitled to be loved & seek happiness, & share that with people that we care about.” —Miss Major Griffin-Gracy“]

I hope this handbook was given to the troops occupying Portland. Some of the trees are definitely Antifa, and possibly nonbinary.

i feel this sentiment deeply so i need my mutuals to understand that of the 24 men tried at nuremberg half were acquitted, and at subsequent trials not on the national stage nearly every nazi tried was found not guilty and many went straight back to work in the government, they died old and rich.

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

For many people of my generation, John Candy was such a constant presence, with movies that meant a lot, & really touched our hearts while making us laugh. It's hard to believe he passed so long ago, & that I'm older than he'll ever be. "I Like Me" on Prime is worth checking out.

I like how the news will be like “while the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americans”

I saw these very Seattle crow stickers on my walk today. I also saw a lot of real crows getting into mischief, as they do. Spooky season needs its mascots!

Two crow stickers on a metal pole. One says I don't do fear, and written in sharpie next to the other it says all crows are beautiful.

My therapist has to remind me constantly that just because I'm anxious something may happen doesn't necessarily mean it will.

The Trump administration is offering $60K in student loan forgiveness as a recruitment tool for ICE, which just proves fighting Biden on student loan relief was never about the loans or “paying your own debt.” It was about who was offering it and who it would’ve helped.

I don't care how goofy and a mite culturally insensitive it is, but in my 40s I still love "Ernest Goes To Camp." I've gotta have funny background entertainment while working!

Years ago, we got word that Joni Mitchell was at death's door. She's still with us. Hoping a similar scenario will play out with her fellow singing songwriting genius here. No siree, this is not the time to be losing Dolly Parton.
