NoJoMo 1 and 2
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of “sweet Jeebus, why is he on the ballot again?!”, I shall fear no… Well, not “evil”. Republicans, maybe? …Cut me some slack, I’m not even fi...
My last full day with Nyx and the kittens.
Tomorrow at 12:15, I’m turning them over to the Chittenden County Humane Society. It wasn’t an easy choice to make, but ultimately, I feel good about it. Nyx needs a lot of attention that I’m no...
My life with five, six-week-old kittens:
Cute lil’ boogers.
OctoPhoMo 6-12
06 Footwear OR Flatware I got new utensils! And they’re rainbow colored! …What can I say, I like a little whimsy. The meal: Tempeh simmered in mushroom sauce, with steamed green beans, served ...
By Stephanie Mencimer On Friday, the Pulitzer Prize–winning author Barbara Kingsolver is headlining a fundraiser for the Harris Victory Fund. She’ll join actress Ashley Judd and former Kentucky...
I think I've figured "I'm Not Voting This Year" out.
For anyone who’s sick to death of my “politickal anal-eesis” (my sibling in Christ, I’m right there with you), here’s a real throwback: (I always related to Phoebe. …Yeah, the girl with ADH...
OctoPhoMo 1 thru 5
A little late to the party, but, why not? 1. Purple OR Orange My orange boi, Smudge. Modeling my first, then-in-progress, needle-knitted scarf. 2. Toys OR Teddy Bear I currently have five,...
"I paid that bill against my will."
I love when I get an email from my bank, saying “A large expense was incurred” at the beginning of the month. Yeah, babes, I’m aware. It’s called “my mortgage payment.” I don’t need to be remind...
If you're still sitting out this election, I have a quote for you.
“We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere.” -Elie Wiesel And to anyone abo...
I look like hell...
But this picture is too cute not to share. This kitten has really attached itself¹ to me, and I’m going to be crying on November 13th, when I have to surrender all of them to the shelter. ...
What kind of Halloween treats should I get?
Good morning Prosebox! I’m in a bit of a pickle. You see, my parents visited over Labor Day week, and while they were here, they took me to Costco (my mom has a membership), and we got, among o...
The One With the Kittens
So… Nyx had her kittens on September 1st. Six originally, but one died on Sept. 5th. The other five are doing well: Eyes are open, they’re learning to walk, and they’ll mew at me when I talk ...
I give up.
There’s no point in fighting for a better world. No one wants things to get any better; they want to bitch and moan and virtue signal. If things actually did improve, no one would have anything t...
bEcAuSe I cAn bE pEtTy, tOo.
You know who you are. Forgive me, but I thought we were both past high school? Or have I got you more fucked up than you’ve got me? Let me address your “criticisms” of me, point by point. I...
I think I'm beginning to sound like a broken record...
And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a pla...
I've been holding onto this for two weeks.
TERFs, to put it bluntly: Y’all are weird. Now that all the people butthurt by being called spades are running to the comments section, I didn’t watch the Olympics this year, but I heard all abo...
August 14, 2024, 12:19 PM ET By Rachel Treisman After a doctor suffered a fatal allergic reaction at a Disney World restaurant, Disney is trying to get her widower’s wrongful death lawsuit tossed...
The 10 Leftist Commandments
The 10 Leftist Commandments Inspired by a certain 50-going-on-13 “leftist” Queen of Social Justice Threads, who thinks she’s being oh-so-edgy sanctimonious “morally upstaaaaahnding” by calling Ka...
Voting | ContraPoints (incl. transcript)
Video originally posted October 19, 2020, and yet somehow even more applicable as of July 30th, 2024. Just replace “Joe Biden” with “Kamala Harris”, insert a 🤷 for the VP pick, replace “police br...
Originally written as a FO entry on April 23rd, 2024. Updated with some corrections, and expanded a little bit, in light of, well… //gestures wildly at everything// Also, I feel like this probabl...
I was wrong. (And I need naming help.)
We aren’t fucked. I was in a panic when I wrote my last post. That said, we’re not out of the woods yet. Like I said, the Democrats have my vote, whoever they pick (and they’d better fucking pick...
We're fucked. **ETA*** Fuck the tankies, too.
Biden is stepping aside and not seeking re-election. I’m trying to find a positive in this, and I can’t. Kamala Harris is a fine choice for President, and I’m voting straight Democrat no matter w...
Take your sanctimony and shove it.
People: Stop “both sides”-ing the Orange Shitgibbon’s assassination attempt. Fucking quit it. There is no “both sides here. And no, you are not some good, elevated human being when you simper abo...
Place yer bets!
I’ve got one month’s gross pay on “publicity stunt.” ETA And to every milquetoast Democrat out there saying that “political violence is un-American!” (Alt text: Bernie Sanders, “I am once again ...
We lost Larry Kramer too soon.
(Apologies for the video censoring the fuck bombs; it was the only one I could find with the full speech.) In this speech, Larry Kramer was talking about AIDS. It wouldn’t take much to alter thi...
