Gov. Pritzker is always on The Orange Mistake’s radar because he outs Trump for who/what he is, constantly. Just like Walz does.

The more Trump hates someone, the more they’ve done something right, generally.

I was gifted with a handmade fan from Istanbul on my birthday. That was all I needed to start my morning routine to Boots on the Ground. (That's my mother beside me. Just don't know if she wants me to post her pic on the Internet. 😂)

I have heard this "LEVII'S JEANS" song with Beyonce and Post Malone a zillion times. Just noticed she said, "On my sister. On Celestine."

For those who haven't read "Matriarch," Celestine is Tina Knowles' real name. youtu.be/QO0SSraNKus?... Read the book. It's a good time. amzn.to/43UfrRa #blacksky

I wish I could scroll past this message and let it be @lelefromcle.bsky.social, but I am GENUINELY curious how one stops you from the other. Especially as someone who has been sewing since high school.

You said: "...I’ve been doing more outdoor events and I can’t listen to audiobooks while sewing."

Hey #blacksky, if you're not already watching Peacock to see the new episodes of #BelAir (I looooooooooooooove how they handled anti-DEI antics and backlash over Blackccess merch), you should check it out for Jordan Peele's "High Horse: The Black Cowboy." www.peacocktv.com/watch-online... #beyhive
Watch High Horse: The Black Cowboy | Peacock
A pop culture and historical docuseries revealing the story of the Black cowboy, whose history has been stolen, erased and left untold.

Salute to Freecycle for that one guy who gave away an almost-new electric fireplace two years ago. Wherever he is, I hope he is having an amazing Thanksgiving cause I am especially grateful for him today. It is 30 degrees (feels like 18 degrees) and I have not moved in 30 minutes. #HappyThanksgiving

And yet…the National Guard never should have been here in the first place. Trump is attempting a military dictatorship. This is 100% Trump’s fault.

How looooow can you go? 🤦‍♀️ As a former Girl Scout, this is especially stupid to me.
They will literally politicize anything to wage their weird political wars against anything that does not fit their warped views
