I see signs of a "let's make friends with fascists" movement among some Democrats. No. Dismantle the ICE gulag system. Take Christian nationalism out of the military. Stop White House bribe-taking Nationalize Elon Musk's businesses. Defeat the fascists. Maybe someday we can be friends. Not now.

Black people in America have played the longest of “long games.” The resilience and persistence it takes to believe and to keep fighting no matter the obstacles.

Another gorgeous fall day in the PNW. One person really hurt my feelings today, and looking back over these photos, I realized I need to focus on the amazing and the beautiful. And the kind people and the caring souls. And take the lesson the sour pants gave me, and move on.

Dolly Parton spent 80 years proving you could have big hair, a bigger heart, a brilliant mind and absolutely no patience for anyone who underestimated you. She gave us unforgettable songs, free books for millions of children, and enough wit, rhinestones and kindness to light up Tennessee.

The only time I miss twitter/x is when I am getting screwed by a company. Social media pressure is the only way to get anywhere. Dominion Energy reinstated service on a closed account 8 years after I sold the house, and their dispute process found that yes, I am responsible for someone else’s bill.

They never cared about women’s sports before it became politically convenient. Equal pay? Pfffft. Rampant sexual abuse? Sorry that keeps happening. An excuse to attack a tiny population of vulnerable transgender athletes? “PROTECT WOMENS’ SPORTS!”

They aren’t fancy pics, but I just love how much beauty is right down the street. Gorgeous vistas, eagles everywhere, and massive trees. The PNW stuns me, over and over again.

Not enough people are talking about this. A Florida airport was renamed after Donald Trump. He walked away with the trademark, the licensing rights, and a deal that lets him profit off every piece of merchandise sold there. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
