The Mayor of Boston basically said he’ll reject federal funds and open up City Hall to shield immigrants, if necessary. 

Elton John and Paul McCartney had to wait 30 years after their initial fame — he thinks he should get a knighthood sooner than they did?

When I mentioned to my boss that he might reconsider flying out of the country on February 17 (date of a rumored general strike), he said he’d switch his flight to a day or two earlier... and said having a strike was probably a good idea. So I think I’d be okay. I do think an economic strike at the same time would be…

Or stamps his foot like Rumplestiltskin and falls down into the center of the earth?

By all means let them pray while we’re taking the country back.

I do TOO make my own decisions! Do TOO!

Maybe not capable of feeling shame, but DEFINITELY capable of feeling oppressed by being trapped in a job he doesn’t want to do, in a house he doesn’t want to live in, pandering to the desires of people he has no desire to associate with, and shunned by the people he has an insatiable craving for associating with.

For a while people were calling him a “white nationalist” and somebody I know tangentially on FB said “so what’s wrong with being a white nationalist?” Now, this is a guy I’ve been to cookouts with. Nice guy, nobody I’d think twice about being a secret Klansman. But he’s white, and he loves his country, probably…

Can they put a lien on the property? I’m not kidding.

On the way home from the immigration march I decided for escapism to read a book of letters between Julia Child and her friend, and lo and behold, they’re full of Julia’s mom telling her not to talk about the election so much because it aggravates her father, and her brother calling her from Pennsylvania to tell her…

I’ll have you know that those drapes hang in the VERY best funeral parlors.

I’m more worried about what they’re going to do to Camp David. Not that they’d go there, but that they’d sell it or something.

If you live in a solid blue state, there are still ways to help neighboring states. Go to Swingleft and put in your zip code and it will alert you to races outside your own district/state that are tight and could use support. For me it works out to Congressional districts in NH and Southern Maine — I figure I can…

We definitely need a Jezzie meetup at the next protest — I’ve ended up going alone because my in-person friends are a lot less engaged than my online peeps, who are spread far and wide.

Oooh, thank you! Just bought a new feather pillow after attempting to wash the old one, which was a half day process that ended an hour into it when I threw it in a bucket and walked it out to the dumpster.

A friend moved from the city to the sticks. Her financial manager husband immediately suggested they get a truck. When asked why, he said “so I can HAUL stuff!”

Chesney is pretty candid in saying he did “She thinks my tractor’s sexy” but was smart enough to never go there again. (He appears to have a problem dropping the high school football thing, though). 

Thank you for this.

Massachusetts Republican governors are not typical GOP governors. Mitt as Massachusetts Governor was not the Mitt who ran nationally (we didn’t recognize that guy). The current governor is pro choice and pro marriage equality and his Lt Governor running mate last time around was gay.

RogueNASA insists that the regular NASA account has not been tampered with and should still be followed (along with theirs). They promise to let us know if the NASA people get the gag order that other agencies have.
