Here, have some motivational rocks.

Also, a woman jogged past me huffing and puffing. I smiled at her and she laughed apologetically and I said "well done!" and she beamed and said "ah thanks, you too!" and it was nice

Quote from article: Once the Nazis took power they banned books, outlawed drag shows and homosexuality, changed school curricula to remove mention of their atrocities in WWI, and rewrote election laws so they’d never again lose an election.

My thoughts: A whole bunch of people, myself included, started pointing out parallels between the Trump-era GOP and the Nazis well before he was elected. We were accused of employing hyperbole, and told to "give him a chance."

Well, just call me Cassandra ... because here we are.

Just. Like. I. Said. We. Would. Be.

WE DID IT! Hundreds of people chanted and marched and took over the downtown St. Louis streets for trans rights.

THIS IS WHAT COMMUNITY LOOKS LIKE!

I was a physics major. I also think, "Heisenberg may have slept here" is hilarious. But thats me.

Boy oh boy do I get a lot of use out of this quote.

“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition. There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind . . .
...alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

It's Monday again. #GoodMorning #DailyGiggle

The milk has gone bad. It took $5 out of mom's purse while she wasn't looking the other day. Stole half a pack of cigarettes and a couple fingers of whiskey. It knows I see it but won't say anything, smiles at me in a conspiratorial kind of way. It's only milk after all. Some of the housepets have gone missing in the neighbourhood now. When questioned, the milk just grins. The milk stands over my bed at night, staring. I pretend to be asleep but I know it knows I am awake. I'm afraid of the milk. It's expiry date was only a short while ago and this has all escalated very quickly.

I wonder if this includes all sick birds...

...or just ill eagles?

Next time a conservative says they don't believe in pronouns, try calling God "she."

Sunak is a snake. Just as Johnson had his 'Little boy lost' ruffled hair persona to fool the people, so Little Rishi has his crisper than crisp, whiter than white persona to fool the people.

He's a fucking scumbag. And it's high time the UK woke the fuck up, and paraded on the streets that they want these crooks out, or their heads on a stick.

Server: You look SO familiar, but I can’t place it. Are you famous? Maybe like an internet celebrity?

Me: I have over 1 million followers on TikTok, so maybe?

Server: Oh! Yes!

Me: Wait, what, no! I was just kidding. I’m sorry. I don’t even have an account on TikTok. I probably just look familiar because I’m in here almost every single week, but thank you for finally noticing.

I have an ask of each of you.

Saturday morning I suddely collapsed and lost consciousness.  I apparently experienced sudden cardiac arrest.

We don't know why yet.  I didn't have a heart attack, stroke, or pulmonary embolus, and I don't have cardiomyopathy, heart failure, or any known heart disease.

I tell you this because you never know when someone's life depends on you.

My ask:  get #CPR trained and stay current with training.

The typical American work week has five (5) days. That’s five (5) opportunities to have chimichangas for lunch. Don’t squander those opportunities.

Once again, I'm reminded of how much the billionaire space race has absolutely destroyed my love of rockets.

10 years ago, I definitely would have been paying close attention to the current giant SpaceX launch. But because I know it's going to be used to launch hundreds of unregulated, unsafe, polluting, for-profit Starlink satellites at once, I just can't look.

Instead of being excited and awestruck by a new gigantic rocket launch, it just makes me want to puke.

@ScottSoCal that may be a bridge too far, Scott
