Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Books are my comfort food!

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

White supremacy is terrorism.

Find someone who loves you the way trump and maga love traitors.

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

This really is a full service blog.

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

I don’t recall signing up for living in a dystopian sci-fi novel.

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

So fucking stupid, and still doing a tremendous amount of damage.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

We are learning that “working class” means “white” for way too many people.

    I have neurotically peeled the skin off my lower lip and I am bleeding. No reason. Not stressed about anything. Why do you ask?

    1 – you loves the critters
    2 – what the hell is up with those leggings?
    3 – where can I buy them?

    I wanted to go to a NaNoWriMo write-in at Ikea tonight, but I had to go home early because it looks like I’m having another bout of pleurisy and my chest hurts. (Yes, I had it checked out by a nurse and it is not a heart attack. It’s stupid pleurisy.)

    I spent a big chunk of last night getting my novel’s manuscript sorted out in Scrivener so I don’t have duplicate scenes or scenes that I know I’m not going to use. Now I need to print out that scene list as an outline and figure out what new scenes I want to add.

    Both the dog and the cat are trying to sit on my lap but they don’t want to ne next to each other. They want to be in a heap and keep shifting to try to get top spot.

    Thanks for all you have done to bring a bunch of jackals together to work to elect progressive Democratic candidates into office all over this nation!!!

    I’ve done a little phone banking, and quite a bit of donating to candidates all over the place. Mostly women, but not all. Some Native American candidates, lots of former military Democrats, hoping hard that we will turn the country around!

    Hang in there!!! All you Jackals, keep up the good work!!!

    You say that I’m an outlaw,
    And you say that I’m a thief.
    Well here’s a Christmas dinner
    For the families on relief.

    Now as through this world I’ve travelled
    I’ve seen lots of funny men.
    Some will rob you with a six-gun
    Some with a fountain pen.

    But as through this life I’ve travelled
    and through this life I’ve roamed,
    I ain’t never seen an outlaw
    drive a family from their home.

    Since this seems to have a pet theme, how are we doing on pet photos for the 2019 calendar? It is November after all.

    Anticipating Steep, it’s nauseated.

    Nauseous means someone or something making others feel ill.
    Nauseated means something or someone is making you feel ill.

    I seriously need to begin to assert myself and reclaim some of my house:

    What makes you think it’s your house?

    @TaMara (HFG):

    If you have ginger tea, drink that. Chai tea would help, too, since it has some additional tummy-soothing ingredients.

    I’m going to try and turn my iPhone off at work tomorrow because otherwise I’ll spend the whole day obsessively refreshing it.

    Love pictures of the critters as I am currently without cat. Totally miss that crowding out effect.

    @Adam L Silverman: its all very nice for Justin to defend his DOJ peeps, but when you consider the guy at the top of Justice and his well known positions on such things like Russian money for election influence and being a racist POS, I think the kids are allowed a wee bit of skepticism….. just sayin’

    Late to the party–went to bed early yesterday (stressss). But, I like your PJs, and no wonder the critters like to cuddle!
