I am not watching one single thing produced by or orchestrated by that administration. That's their propaganda. Why would I make it easy on them? Inviting everyone to join me on Jan 20th in doing one thing you love, and one thing they would hate. Joy & spite, y'all. Joy and spite.

January 20th is also my dad’s 72nd birthday so I’m “afraid” I already have plans. I’ll be baking a cake and making a big family dinner. He’s the most honest and selfless man I’ve ever met and is way cooler and more hardworking than that asshole and his entire shitty, corrupt administration.

Wholeheartedly agree & support this. I'd also add that "viewer" numbers are sooooo incredibly important to them ... starving them of those views is an excellent way to show them our collective middle finger.

Discotek is doing their livestream that day. I’m very excited to see what old anime is getting a new blu ray release. Personally hoping for some 70’s mecha and Kamen Rider.

I will not watch or read any news coverage of events in Washington, DC that day. Instead I will stream #thewestwing on HBO MAX. I would rather watch an honorable fictional president than a dishonorable real president.

I'll be at my doctor's office for an annual check up. If you need something to do, do something for yourself and schedule all the cancer screenings you've been putting off. It can save your life and will still be covered by your insurance before the Republicans repeal the ACA.

I'm going to make a new-to-me recipe & research local food banks to line up some donations throughout the year. (And then write down the donation schedule in my planners so I remember to follow through & use that task as an excuse to joyfully pretty them up with more stickers!)

It is for me since I'm food oriented! Plus people shouldn't go hungry, so food banks ~speak~ to me. My Hobonichi planners have space in the back for a "My 100" list & I'm using my daily planner to track 100 new(ish) recipes: either a brand new-to-me recipe or one I haven't made in at least 2 years.

I'm gonna end up having to go one step farther, and start unfollowing people who cannot stop sharing screenshots and videos bypassing all my various mute keywords, even if I like them (since Bluesky still doesn't have a "turn off retweets" option).

We should all make sure our TVs are turned on on Monday. And tuned to anything other than the felon’s return. Any other channel or service. Muted if you like. We can’t control how many idiots may watch him in total, but we can affect his “share.” Can’t hurt.

I was pretty measured about how much national news I consumed last time for my own sanity, and can confirm that big enough news will break through anyway even without intentionally following the minutiae.

In the morning I'm going to our community celebration of MLK Day. It's by the MLK Statue on the UT campus and I was on the committee that started the process of getting it put there. The rest of the day I'll read steamy feminist romance. So both are things I love and they'd hate.

I'm going to start on a blanket for my Romanian immigrant coworker's husband who is not doing well. And probably listen to a podcast or audiobook while I do it. (=

is a Monday and also may be a holiday and so Girl will be working from home at the very least if not, not working at all, maybe we should make a crisp. She has never made one before and does not know how easy they are to make and I think this is a fixable problem.

I'm pleased to report that we wont be watching AND my kid has a rehearsal for Shrek the musical, where they will sing about how great it is to be weirdos and stand up against a sad little egomaniac manbaby villain. A+ timing. <3

Unless the exhaustion monkey slaps me on my head and I have to call off, I'll be working, operating a light rail train for the day. And I wouldn't watch it anyways.

Teen taking advantage of the federal holiday to do a games hang out with all their friends in the afternoon. (And trying to score bday loot. ) Given the level of DnD and theater geeks,there are likely to be a lot of youth with big feelings. I am hoping for good mutual distraction and such.

He wants my US Flag at full mast for him? 1-20 my beloved nations flag goes DOWN, folded & stored for better times. UP goes the Skull & Crossbones, for our new Cleptocratic Oligarchy.☠️

Streaming a Vera marathon (single strong woman, not something they like) while doing some mending and knitting and letting the hubby cook.
