Wordless Wednesday 2024: Week 45

Some words: Well, didn’t that fall apart quickly? Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris, both wildly accomplished and capable women who ran two completely different campaigns, lost to Donald Trump. Joe Biden, an accomplished and capable and very old man, beat…

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…

Someone tried to assassinate Trump yesterday

graphic that says no photos, just words

Talk about a strong challenge to the ol’ “everyone deserves to be safe, loved, and warm” belief, huh? Even though 15% of me thinks it’s fake (he’s in the WWE Hall of Fame and was teasing a big reveal at…

Sunday 5: Brush your teeth with Lifebuoy soap and watch the suds go by

red text that says Sunday June 30 layered on top of a Friday June 28 calendar page

Happy, uh, Sunday! Which is also Social Media Day, and National Meteor Watch Day. It’s also two days post the regular Friday 5, but I have a great excuse. Friday night I had dinner in Philadelphia with two very lovely…

Random Thoughts: Hot Ramen, WHCD, and Starbucks

I took a little break from the Internet this weekend. Mother’s Day is hard for me, and even I am tired of hearing myself whine about it so I dipped out for my own good. Lately, I’ve been in a…

A non poli-sci wonk’s attempt at term limits

a photo collage of the Penguin, Madame the Puppet, Statler and Waldorf, Senator Bob Menendez, Charlie McCarthy, and Thurston Howell III

We in the USA have a bit of a problem with politicians staying in their elected positions for way too long. The presidency has a two-term limit (thank God) but if you’re in Congress? It can be a lifetime job….

My EIB award winning post

graphic that says no photos, just words

(excellence in blogging, of course) Rush Limbaugh died yesterday of lung cancer. I’m in with a pretty solid crowd of very liberal people on Twitter and IG and the blogging world. I donate money and time to Democratic candidates locally…

I never thought I’d blog about an attempted coup but HERE WE ARE…

One of the things blogging software lets you do is schedule posts in advance. Like, yesterday’s Cricut post. I wrote it on Tuesday and tossed it in the queue so it would show up yesterday morning. In umpty years from…

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! :)
