Formerly debsbasement / buryingsongs Book reader, book seller, book buyer (professional & personal); theatre/film/Josh Ritter enthusiast who would always rather be outside 🌲 Never Again means just that. Not here, not in Palestine, not anywhere.
Seems to me that if establishment dems are frustrated by progressives winning primaries, perhaps they should shift focus from courting wealthy parasites, and blue collar white men who are married to a misogynistic christofacism, and instead work on addressing the issues of progressive voters.
I thought we were supposed to learn if Mitch McConnell was going to see his shadow today.
New in PN: Moderate Democrats have a choice to make "They can spend the next three months reinforcing Republican messaging about their party & making it less likely Dems take power. Or they can put the 'battle for the soul of the party' off for a while and do what they can to help their party win."
Moderate Democrats have a choice to make
Do they want to help their party win, or do they want to whine about the left?

I believe there should be one (1) day during the year that is Adults Only day at the zoo, so I can go in and see the aviary without having to navigate a bunch of screaming toddlers. I don’t hate kids, but man, they chased away every single animal I was trying to quietly observe last year 😕
Every summer gets worse and worse. Anyone wanna throw up their favorite fire watch app? I like Watch Duty and have been using it for maybe two years now.
I don’t read Hank Green’s work, so I don’t really have a horse in this race, but every day I see something that makes me more convinced that I will now only read books published before 2022. Sorry, contrmporary authors I’ve loved; I can’t trust anyone anymore.
One thing about audiobooks is that authorial whoopsies get extra highlighted for me. For example, the phrase “waving his sword menacingly” happened in two consecutive sentences in this silly little queer Roma CE I’m reading, which tells me neither the author nor the editor was working very hard.
As folx in Eastern and southeastern Oregon lose their homes and the lands they love, the vindictive tyrant many of them voted for has denied them aid based on nothing more then his own churlish cruelty.

The one thing I know definitively from this McConnell debacle is that Andy Beshear is a spineless weenie who will never become president.
We’ve almost finished WIDOWS BAY, and…I did not like it at all, and my dislike grew dramatically after the flashback episode.
I think he knows we’re all upset because he doesn’t usually cuddle
Lord take all of my Father’s struggle and pain and put it directly onto the President.
Dad has been diagnosed with lymphoma, so I won’t be around much anymore, and could use any good thoughts you have to send this way ❤️🩹
Pro tip: The best time to cancel all your subscriptions is when you’re dead inside. They can’t guilt you into remaining subscribed if you can’t feel anything.
Every day I grow more and more convinced that critical thinking has absolutely left the building. The internet has broken everyone’s brain but has given them access to therapyspeak, so we’re in hell.
I got so angry tonight about how every member of Congress seems to think we’re fucking idiots (in re McConnell), that I changed my voter registration to independent and drafted letters to my senators. Then I threw on Green Day’s DOOKIE while doing dinner dishes which helped a bit.
This may help save lives in areas affected by the smoke from wildfires: If you can, make a Corsi-Rosenthal box. It is made with four MERV13 20” furnace filters and a 20” box fan. The assembly is done with duck tape. Also look for N95 masks! Stay safe out there! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corsi%E...
