Wordless Wednesday 2024: Week 43

a storefront with helium balloons in the shape of letters that spell VOTE. There are many progressive posters in the window behind the balloons.

Postcards To Voters: it’s not too late!

A stack of postcards ready to be sent to voters in PA. Kim's handwriting is not perfect, but still legible.

If you feel helpless amongst the (waves hands) stuff happening, you can move the needle in crucial battleground states by volunteering with Postcards to Voters. I’ve been writing with PTV since 2018 and while we don’t win ’em all, it’s…

Oh how I yearn for precedented times

graphic that says no photos, just words

On Sunday Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential election and endorsed VP Kamala Harris. In a radical departure from their behavior over last almost-17 years, the Democratic Party got their shit together and backed her almost unanimously. That…

About the election…

meme of trump yelling at the count from sesame street

The race wasn’t called for Biden/Harris for four harrowing days post-election. The Biden/Harris team won the popular vote and the electoral vote; however, Trump and his minions are filing lawsuits in various states trying to cast doubts on the legitimacy…

Election Day 2020

It’s all come down to this day. I wrote and sent hundreds of postcards for downballot Democrats across the country. I donated money to political campaigns that I believed in. I texted with Victory 2020. The last wave of initial…

Facepalming

I didn’t vote for Donald Trump. It wasn’t just a party thing — I usually hop all over the place with voting* or a woman thing, although that would have been fantastic to see. I voted for the more experienced…

Liveblogging the DNC – part 4

Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones from Ohio has a tough act to follow. She lauds Barbara Jordan. She starts hopping all over Bush’s record of sending jobs overseas. Wait…it’s coming! Yay! I’m a “have and a have-more” since I got a…

Warning: Political Rant

I’ve been searching John Kerry’s website trying desperately to find a way to suspend my dislike of him for 30 seconds in November. He’s making it so hard. Example: Thor and I got a tax break thanks to GWB. Perhaps…

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)

A plucky heroine and academically minded hero? A road trip to Key West? Optimism v pessimism?? Adults being adults and using their words to keep disagreements from lasting more than a few hours? Sign me up forever.

Well, that happened.
