My dad is getting a cancerous growth removed from his arm in the morning. It's probably not a major surgery, but with all he's been through, I still ask for prayers please.
And as we all did, they weathered the literal storm with us, having every item needed at the ready and then some we hadn't planned on needing and did. Thank you, Phil. #RestInPower #ForwardTogetherForever #WeWontBeSilentAnymore #HighTimeWeMadeAStand #PoorPeoplesCampaign
March 2, 2024, Maryland #PoorPeoplesCampaign held one of its largest actions, and it would not have gone off without a hitch if not for Phil Ateto, who took on getting us sound equipment, connecting us with Patrick/Re:Action, and them manning the equipment through breakdown at the conclusion.
Rest in power, Phil Ateto. We had interacted with Phil on several occasions, though not nearly enough. (Thread; @marylandppc.bsky.social )
The three Musketeers back together Monday in DC! #PoorPeoplesCampaign @stokes417.bsky.social @marylandppc.bsky.social
I voted. Not gonna say my main pick for Montgomery County Council At-Large... 😁 If you didn't early Vote, make sure you vote Tuesday June 23! This is MoCo's wakeup call! #YesWeKhan @hamzapolitics.bsky.social
I got out to my car & opened it immediately. What an awesome treat to get a Studio Series Windcharger completely free! Thank you from the bottom of this #80sChild's heart, Transformers/Hasbro! "Until our darkest hour When the light will save us all" #TilTheDayAllAreOne #morethanmeetstheeye
A few days ago I went to my PO Box and found a package that had been in there 2 weeks (thankfully USPS didn't return it!) and saw Hasbro on the mailing label. I was like, "oh yeah" and "why such a big box?"
A month ago, I commented on a story posted by the official Transformers account on Instagram, and I got a message that they wanted my address to send me something. I immediately gave my address, not expecting much more than stickers or something.
As a social justice activist, I highly endorse 3 candidates: Hamza Khan for Montgomery County Council At-Large @hamzapolitics.bsky.social Izola Shaw for Montgomery County Council District 3 Stephen Tillett for Maryland State Senate District 32 Early voting starts today! #FightPovertyNotThePoor
Finally after 40+ yrs! My fave toon/toy line/franchise ever & always finally getting the right big screen treatment! Tomorrow night! Masters of the Universe! #heman #skeletor This #80sChild is beyond ecstatic! #ByThePowerOfGrayskull #ihavethepower Live action Trap Jaw, Battle Cat, & hopefully Orko!
Today is Fibromyalgia Awareness Day, and I have an ask of everyone. I have things to do. But chronic pain doesn't discriminate. I woke up with no energy. I'm in bed in pain & w/headache I can't shake (making it tough even to make this post). This photo is not very flattering, but it shows reality.
This is beyond blasphemous. But the creature in the middle of the sky? I hope it's a Power or Throne, and not the kind trump likes, put there by the AI as a warning to such blasphemy. But it could also just as likely be a demon as AI is adding its own commentary to the image.
Now my mom will come home from work to an apartment missing what it had. My father won't have Ben Ben there, always laying down in front of his wheelchair. And my brother is completely lost. She survived adrenal cancer in 2021. We love you furever, Benny. #MustLoveDogs #AdoptDontShop 🌈🐕 #HeIsRisen
4/6/26 at 515am. Rest in peace, sweetie. Ben Ben Puskar 2012-26 (kidney failure) She was my brother Kevin's everything. She was a constant & support when my father had strokes. She was my mother's baby girl, comfort when my mom came home from work every day. My father would say, "Mommy's home!"
There are many amazing women in history, but this #internationalwomensday I recognize the hardest-working woman I know: my Mom. At 75, she's still working to pay for ridiculous costs of living; & taking care of my father. I wish I could support my parents financially. #FightPovertyNotOurSeniors
My family's going thru a lot right now, and my parents' pup Ben Ben isn't doing so well either. She survived cancer 5 years ago, which was a great gift to us, but please pray for her and us right now. #MustLoveDogs (pic from Christmas 2024)
I ordered a recliner from Amazon Resale. I got 1 of 2 boxes (seat, one arm, accessories). Did they say they would look for the other box? No they offered full or partial refund (who would keep half a chair?). I have setup for full refund. Then I write a review & see this one (mystery solved!)...
I am really getting tired of this "failed to load blob" thing... I'm not posting about an X-Men villain!
"Nice" things said, but trump still makes it about himself... #ego
RIP Reverend Jesse Jackson Sr. #RestInPower #ForwardTogetherForever This pic was when I was marshaling for the #PoorPeoplesCampaign almost 5 years ago. It was scalding out & I got a parasol for him but didn't get to speak directly to him (didn't want to bother him for a photo op in that heat).
James Van Der Beek made his last X post 3 years ago... from tomorrow. How coinkydink.
View Askew Heaven got too big when Shannen Doherty passed, & it's now too too big w/the passing of James Van Der Beek. These things hurt the social soul, but it instills a reality shock in people like myself as I'm 48. The Dawson's Creek theme holds more gravity 3 decades later. #IDontWantToWait
Another one lost too soon. I loved Dawson's Creek (mainly s1) but my favorite JVDB appearance was Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back. Condolences to his family. #RIPJamesVanDerBeek #90sTeen
Well, then, let osprey. 🙏 ( @liberalcatholics.bsky.social ) #SuperBowl @seahawksofficial.com
