aaaarrgh!! from @Lawyer_Oyer Trump’s DOJ is making it possible to buy a gun online and have it delivered directly to your doorstep. A company called GrabAGun stands to reap big profits. You’ll never guess who owns it. https://youtube.com/shorts/bKu4c2Y405E #Guns #Corruption #FuckTrump

🎶 ☠️ 💛 I didn't realise that there is a #WomenMusicWednesday So, since I'm definitely a woman in music, here ya go: https://youtu.be/B_qTkKSPYmI There are forces, as there have always been, that would take away our joy. I say, don't make it easy for them! Our joy is priceless. It can't be bought. It doesn't take much to have a good time, a few fine friends and some rhythm and rhyme. Collective joy is powerful. As an act of resistance, or for the sheer heck of it, don...

Tattoos are NOT benign decorative choices. I am a former aesthetician. Skin care was my gig for 17 years. I've always known tattoos are a stress on the body particularly the lymph system. These two MDs are cautious but, at least, start to open up the conversation about the safety of pushing ink into the body's largest organ. (Yep. The skin is an organ.) Read the comments. Some very good first hand stories. https://youtu.be/kX_-j1erlco #Tattoos #Health #Skin #Lymph #Lymphnodes

This is what that maga goons and toadies have done to the US. Absolutely tragic, embarassing, shameful. #FuckTrump #FuckIce https://www.amnestyusa.org/blog/2026-world-cup-travel-advisory/

OK this may not be a popular stance but I really, really don&#39;t like using animals for human entertainment. Sure it is good news for the woman trainer and woman stable owner to have won the Kentucky Derby in so far as it is another gender barrier broken. No matter, I just can&#39;t bear to watch jockey&#39;s smacking horses to make them run around an oval track with humans screaming and jumping up and down. There I said it out loud. #KentuckyDerby #AnimalWelfare

Ok this may not be a popular stance… I saw the premiere of #StarWars at the Curran Theatre on Geary St. in San Francisco in 1977. Perhaps, because I had read so much literature before — fairy tales, sci-fi, novels — the story screamed &quot;derivative&quot;. Couple that with the bombastic, &quot;cue card&quot; soundtrack by John Williams and, well, … I have never been a fan. #SciFi
