Jersey girl. Love my family, tolerate my cats. Runner, reader, and hypes up Downtown Cranford to anyone who will listen.
The cats have been keeping watch by the dishwasher since yesterday. Is there a chance they’re doing it for any reason other than a mouse has made its way inside?

All the BW apologists at mainstream outlets should feel extra embarrassed about their advocacy for her, and her elevation to the top of CBS News, after this. It's incredibly worth a half-hour of your time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gieT...

![Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.
There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.
What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.
It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:lzlqyldh7nfc34pfffvd24ko/bafkreiap6asa64jdjb2vlv4c2sdritjrntsibvsv7baj6o4cgwcfgsjeny@jpeg)

“Vendors are charging 50% more, and we have no option but to increase our menu prices. Customers feel it and yes, we risk losing business.”

On our way to vacation in Delaware and remembering the optimism we felt this time last year is heartbreaking. But I did just lean out the window and cheer on No Kings protestors at least there’s that.

@benlindbergh.bsky.social I had to laugh when you compared the singing on Andor to Whoville. My 12 year old walked in when I was watching that episode and goes “Why does it sound like the Whos singing? Are you watching The Grinch?”

Heading back from Barcelona. Was worried about how we’d be treated, thanks to the policies, rhetoric, and shameful behavior of our government. But everyone was incredibly friendly and we had a wonderful time. Heading back to reality & what awaits us won’t be easy.
