Search YouTube rolled out new "ad friendly guidelines" in March, I keep having videos, demonetized or taken down. Particularly videos, talking about the way conservatives treat children. Here's what I think is going on:

I love this! As someone born in Green Bay, I must say the Bears suck.

Every day is Caturday when you have cats. IYKYK.

Despite feeling hollow, what with all the news and the deaths of Dolly and Tim Currry, it’s Dog Day. So, here’s a picture of our pup we got at ten weeks from a rescue. She’s 16 months now and HUGE.

Worth a listen. “If I was gonna stage a coup in 2028…”

Bridge to Terabithia.

Look, it's not Canada's fault it takes an entire forest of sage to try to smudge out the U.S.'s evil spirits.

Rachel Maddow’s description of Juan Sebastian Guerrero killed by ICE in Maine is a must see. She explains what happened w/out being graphic, and somehow that makes it even more powerful. Remember Alex, Pretti, and Renée? There have been no prosecutions. Still no justice. We know how this goes.

I pulled the last of my peas, newest cukes, a few strawberries, and cherry tomatoes from my little garden this weekend.

Erling Haaland and the rest of the Norwegian men's team are paid the same as the women's team. In 2017, they took a voluntary pay cut to allow the women's pay to be increased. The move came from the players' union, not management.

Heia Norge! 🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴

America 250. The government brought the potato salad to the cookout but it's mostly just raisins.

I attended my first LA Pride and it was fantastic! I was asked for mom hugs and was happy to provide them along with a “You are loved!” (I wore my “Free Mom Hugs” pride shirt.) It was a true respite of fun, freedom, joy, dancing, and acceptance in these difficult times. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ #LAPride

A FIFA referee has spent more time in federal custody for being Somali than anybody on epstein's list for raping kids.

Gardening as hope and resistance. I’m aware it’s not new. Here’s my little garden anyway.

I’m not seeing a lot of chatter about HR 8800. I find that very concerning.

Even as "Emilio" struggles to make ends meet, Republicans in Congress are drafting appalling legislation to make Trump’s devastating wage cuts permanent law. It would undercut American farm worker jobs and wages. Sign our petition now! act.seiu.org/a/appalling?... 3/3

There's nothing that upsets vanilla ISIS more than Pride Month and Black History Month

"Gun control laws never stop people from breaking the law, therefore we shouldn't have gun control," say mostly the same people who think that widespread breaking of border control laws means we need more and harsher laws governing who can come here and how.

🔥 SPRINGSTEEN: "I’m here to support Stephen Colbert, the first guy who lost his show because a president can't take a joke - and the Ellisons feel they need to kiss his ass… small-minded people with no idea what freedoms of this beautiful country are supposed to be about." 🇺🇸

NEW: Donald just STOLE $1.7B from us to pay insurrectionists. I have some important info about this. Please share widely.

James Comey has been keeping busy waiting for his upcoming trial.

Well played, Trader Joe’s. Well played. (Yes, I bought it.) #genx

The Coachella music festival is in the news with the minimum price of sold out 3-day ticket costing $549. Contrast that with "Nicolas" who is currently harvesting onions in the Coachella area and getting paid $22 for a $900lb crate. #WeFeedYou #coachella2026

29 years #sober today! 🎉

There’s corn hole, beer, and cheese for purchase at the gate, too. It’s been real, Wisconsin.

I have found my way to #knitsky, #crochetsky, and #quiltsky. Do I knit, crochet, or quilt/sew? I wish. They’re on my list of things to learn some day. However, I have come to a deeper appreciation for the fiber arts because of this side of ‘sky. Many thanks to those who share their art!

Today is day 130 of the ICE occupation of MN. We stand in solidarity with communities across the country experiencing their own version of ICE occupations. And if it hasn’t happened yet where you live, now is the time to prepare.

The Easter Bunnny came a bit early. I must’ve pre-ordered the new book by @thebloggess.bsky.social on Bookshop.org and completely forgot. What a pleasant surprise to come home to it in the mail. I win!

Dang. I loved that show.
