I still miss my best girl too.
RIP JJ July 2024
Beautiful brindle dog with puppy-dog brown eyes looking into camera. Her name was JJ. She was my most loyal and loving companion. JJ passed away July 2024.

Lol even though the sight of her lying face makes me sick, this was my first glance at Bluesky today. Perfect irony in a screenshot.

This is the poster for 2025. #RESIST
Screenshot from “Star Wars Update” channel on YouTube features 1976 photo of Mark Hamill dressed as Luke Skywalker standing in a physical & mental position of resistance using “The Force” with his right arm and hand outstretched. Text reads: The first photo ever taken (on location) on the first day of filming Star Wars in (March 22nd?) 1976. George didn’t want it to get published because Mark/Luke wasn’t wearing the boot wraps over the bottom of the bleached blue jeans.

I threw this together when the story broke. Funny, yet so not funny. None of this is funny. Laughable in a ridiculous, embarrassing way. Make it stop. 😵‍💫
Signal chat app icon/logo is a speech bubble image with added text in middle that reads, “But her emails!”

SIX MONTHS and probation for 2 COUNTS OF CHILD RAPE. This former MAYOR lives right by several schools and churches. Internet, do what you do best. This needs national coverage!! 🤬

I’m a broken-hearted dog mom too. 💔 This is my JJ girl. She crossed last summer. I miss her every day. Sending my heartfelt empathy your way. 🌈🐾

Text reads, “But her emails!” Text is inside speech bubble on Signal app logo/homescreen icon. Text is reference to GOP ridicule of Hillary Clinton’s alleged email server and potential security breach. A number of Trump’s unqualified picks now serving as principals across several federal departments used the Signal app to share information, likely classified, regarding attacks on foreign soil—a gross negligence deemed criminal until the camp of hypocrites namely Trump and his Trumpers f*cked up the USA.

Inside the speech bubble design of Signal’s chat app logo and homescreen icon on smartphones, added text reads, “But her emails!” Image points to the ongoing hypocrisy demonstrated by the radical right regime and Trumpism.

I caucused for Bernie in 2016 for the same reasons I applaud his democracy in action today.
2016 image from Bernie Sanders’ US presidential campaign features multicolored silhouettes of many people assembled in the silhouette of Bernie with his fist in the air. It reads: Not me, US.

Greetings 💙🦋 Today was my Grandma Martha’s birthdate. She was the first kindergarten teacher in our area. She was born in 1912 & lived until 9 days short of her 100th birthday. Today was also my son’s due date. He turns 16 on March 9. I’m struggling in solidarity with y’all. Check out pod I shared.
The text above a black & white drawing of protesters with fists in the air reads: We all place ourselves in danger to one degree or another when we stand up. However, we place our children and grandchildren in even greater danger when we don’t.

Relevant twist on infamous Dylan Thomas poem, text reads: Do not go gentle into this good night. Rage, rage against the lying of the right.

“I STAND WITH UKRAINE” text splashed across blocks of blue and yellow (gold) resembling the flag of Ukraine. The Ukraine flag flying strong against a stormy sky of dark clouds, some light peeking through symbolic of hope.

Does this help? I’m learning.
Satirical image of “Don’t Tread On Me” flag flown by many in the radical right; a subordinate snake wearing a MAGA hat, collar & leash… reads, “TREAD ON ME PLEASE SUPER RICH DADDY.”
