I had the pear dream again…

Because the world has lost its natural mind, here’s a necessary timeline cuteness refresher

I wish people unionized everywhere across all sectors. Instead so many of us have to deal with waste fraud and abuse in the form of misspent funds on antiunion consultants, pithy “merit increases,” pizza & donuts, and the constant “other duties as assigned” workloads. Do more with less. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Now that's a great analogy. Think it over before you decide to skip voting. This shit is too important not to participate in democracy.

I don't want flying cars. I want clean water. I want a stable climate. I want bees to survive.

I just don’t understand why people are so anti-union/anti-worker and so pro-corporate/pro-business. Everyone benefits with unions. Only the top echelon and the favorites reap benefits without one. Baffling, indeed.

By piling leaves up in a corner of your little green space, you'll create a place for hedgehogs and insects to hide and hibernate. More tips to help garden wildlife this autumn: littlegreenspace.org.uk/features/Aut... 🍂 #gardening #nature #biodiversity

I hate Nazis and I hate Union-busters. 🤦🏻‍♀️

No shit. Way to tell that crazy Twatzi Laura Looney off, Bill.

This is horrifying. Illinois comes 3rd in gambling - behind Las Vegas 1st and Atlantic City 2nd 🤦🏻‍♀️

Every time there’s a stink bug buzzing around in my house I have to wonder am I hearing an insect, lawn care or construction tools outside, or a helicopter or drone and we’re under the path? 🤦🏻‍♀️

Just had a local college student democrats org member stop by canvassing & reminding people to vote blue for our local elections. Absolutely. The local MAGAts need to go far away from office so people can stop dying. #sonyamassey

When a former IL House Republican Leader refuses to endorse Bailey for governor, you know you’ve got a crappy nominee running. You’d think Bailey would have it figured out that he stinks.

Time to start prepping for next year’s heatwaves here in the Midwest with more natives and other symbiotes.

OMG how is this ok?!? How can President Putrid Piggy say there’s nothing to worry about and to keep believing in and promoting this? Doesn’t ANYONE in this administration know ANYTHING about how dystopian fiction is quite accurately prescient about many of today’s ills?

There are many pathways to recovery. People do recover.

Should be reposted every month....

As soon as we put A.I. on weapons systems we blew through Asimov's 3 laws of robotics. And we don't even have a good robot yet.

25 years ago today, George W. Bush signed the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force into law. Barbara Lee was the only member of Congress to vote against it, warning it would be a blank check for forever wars. History has proven her lonely and courageous vote right.

Please enjoy my cartoon in today's Toronto Star

Anyone who denies white privilege exists clearly is in denial and has not followed this case and would be pleased by this new development. He does not deserve a position where he can repeat his abuses of BIPOC.

So it looks like my car is going to bite the big one. The PCM has gone haywire, causing random codes galore. Thus in the grand scheme of things, my car essentially had a stroke and is now as useless and unreliable as Mitch McConnell and John Fetterman. 🫠

Remember when Amazon raised over $50 million for independent bookstores? Oh, no wait, that was us. 😎 Thank you for choosing bookstores over billionaires. 💜

Once his video is on YouTube you can bet I’m sharing it 👍🏼

Trump is always zero-sum because he believes that helping others takes away from HIM. Even when he appears to be doing something for others, there’s a loophole that is an attempt to get more for him. Until he and others stop believing in zero-sum just like believing in trickle-down, it’s a mess.

We need stronger labor laws that make it easier to organize & address the delay tactics greedy corporations use. Every worker who wants a union should be able to have one!

Gas prices rose a half-dollar overnight near my workplace from the holiday yesterday to this morning. How is this winning again? 🤦🏻‍♀️

Labor Day belongs to WORKERS. Full stop. Today is about the workers who keep this country running and the power we have when we stand together. #LaborDay2026

The average US household has spent $763 extra on fuel in six months, as the US-Israel war on Iran pushes up fuel costs.

Illinois has the world's largest network of legal, non-casino slot machines, with more than 50,000 accessible at almost 9,000 locations.

This is brilliant and I’d love to see SCOTUS try to explain away this

Why has Trump been attacking unions and workers’ rights? He wants working people to feel helpless and divided. Trump and his billionaire backers realize that the collective power of a unified labor movement outweighs their own power. Know this: Workers outnumber the oligarchs.

I fully accept “we’re all gonna die!” as a radical acceptance motto. What I don’t accept is merely going belly up and refusing to live until then and not working towards change…any small change we can make is helpful, starting with exposing the coverups that so many corporations are doing.
