germs

ignorance

rats

book bans

disinformation

is the fifth horseman of the apocalypse.

just sayin'...

we be the cavalry

There is no cavalry coming. No miracle solution. No saviors. In the end, we, the American people - not any of our institutions - have to save our democracy by voting in defense of that democracy this fall. We are the cavalry. The responsibility is ours.

Eric Holder, former Attorney General

something to think about...

 did you know that when you say ignorant things about women in power, they don't hear you?

but your daughters do ... your mother does ... your grandmothers and granddaughters do ... your wife/girlfriend/lover does ... your sisters do ... your aunties and nieces do

 all the women in your life hear you

childless cat lady...

 

 stitched by Melissa (the childless cat lady who doesn't have a stake in our country's future and is more likely to be a mentally unstable sociopath - too bad she's allergic to cats) ... finished by dianne (the postmenopausal female whose purpose in life should be raising grandchildren - also allergic to cats and who did, in fact, stop earning $34/hour plus benefits to care for her grandbabies, and is now relying on the Social Security that she paid into for forty years, yet it is considered an "entitlement" that should be cut)

hoping for rain...

               and not just because we are currently living through a drought

it will take a downpour to wash away the orange stain that invaded our state today 

 a pile of feces and his sycophants  - the worst of America  - spewing bile and hate

a lying lot of loathsome liars

it's past your jail time, felon 

go away and don't come back

we don't need no stinkin'  fascists 

be gone

well...

picture this with pictures...

yeah, i know - and that's the most recent issue with not blogging for two years...

it seems that phones are cameras now...

and my phone doesn't like talking to the computer...

i doubt that the problem is with the phone or with the computer...

mmhmmm ... i have issues

so i looked through the pictures that are already on the computer to see if maybe i could find SOMETHING to post about...

how 'bout this?

a "native american" barbie doll that needed to be something more... 

like, maybe a tree topper for my bedroom's christmas tree...

down the rabbit hole...

after a how to search on the World Wide Web and You Tube

and following along with various and sundry tutorials...

i think that she's kinda cool - waaaay too tall for the tree that she was supposed to fit upon, so not a tree topper after all...

and not nearly enough color, but some turquoise fringe might fix that...

and, just like that, a post with pictures...

old pictures, but pictures

...because every picture tells a story...
