I am in the process of moving, our place has been sold.

We didn't know it was up for sale, but what the heck, our soon-to-be ex-landlord is great. Unlike those who get ripped away and now have NO place. Ours has been here in Fairbanks for 50 years. Theirs? Who knows. Folks like sTrumpet and ICE don't give a shit.

My ex-landlord is a VERY religious Christian. He almost wept when he gave us the "move" notice. We found a place very recently that's affordable for one disabled and one elderly working adult. Sorta. No running water. Oh, well, outhouse, here we come again. Better than a cement floor and a cage. And no mom or dad, and people that yell at you and kick and hit you.

I start feeling sorry for myself, my lover, and my kitty - and then realize my kitty will only have to spend 17 minutes in her soft-sided, padded-bottom kennel to get to her kitty-safe new home. Not like the babies and toddlers kidnapped from their parents. And spending their time in cages. CAGES!!!!!!!!

I will have really good neighbors, and a landlord (soon ex) who is loaning not only his truck but his 1-ton trailer, and helping load it. I'll have food of my choosing (and I'm a damn creative cook - my moose stew is not to be believed, it's that good), a spacious (800 SF) log cabin, good heat that's paid for by the new landlord, lots of room for the motorcycle.............. I hate moving. Unlike the ICE folks who don't give a crap and laugh at crying children. Or kick and shove them. Or ............... and it's the PITS when you have no choice....... as a child, it's worse than that. Now, you have NO security at all.

We were all out swatting mosquitoes and yakking over the grill. I heard our landlord curse for the FIRST time ever - "I HAVE KIDS AND GRANDKIDS, WHAT IS THIS DAMN IDIOT DOING?"


He is going to change his voter registration to Democrat tomorrow.

If there is a God, I hope She swats the living FUCK out of the Donald, his slut, and his followers. Make this photo a meme.


And never forget Mom tying that baby girl's red sneakers. Crying. Another meme. Oh, Melania? FUCK YOU.

And your supposed child whom your husband likes the look of.............

Hey, ICE? You did this. There is not a single honorable human in that institution. Which is where they all should be.

finding diamonds in the rough. It's wonderful that you are so lucky in finding them.

Maybe the Almighty or the Powers That Be are testing all of us to see just how we all do treat each other. What we are seeing is how truly ugly Americans are, to each other and their fellow world citizens.

It's kind of like the kid you grew up w/ that used a magnifying glass to burn the legs off a bug or pull them off, and these people were the ones you wondered about later in life that would do something like this to a fellow human being too?

Scary? Yes. Are we seeing just the tip of the iceberg here w/ rump and his cronies on future outrages that they are planning for their fellow human beings? I am almost afraid to go to church now, and look these people in the eyes...a lot of these very same people voted for rump and his cronies. Why?

We are seeing the true ugliness of the republican party in all of its glory, along with all of its unfettered abuse being done to fellow human beings who are simply searching for a better way of life, or think differently from them, or simply believe something different. It isn't pretty.

are Alaska Native and proud, as they should be, lots of neat artifacts. They all hate him.

I'm more scared for my grandkids. I know our kids are just as mean as I am, and won't tolerate the asshole (our term for sTrumpet) playing his games. My stepdaughter's usual comment (raising my grandson, and I love 'em) is "WHAT a fuckin' cheechako....bring him up here, I'll show him how to hunt".

Scared? Yeah, I've seen the changes in nature here up close and personal. But this crap scares me more. We actually DID something with the Shrub. AND his lady, who I've liked, denounced PTB (powers that be).

It's awful. My repub senators (BOTH of them) and my Governor (Independent) and our vice-Governor (Dem) have repudiated him.

I never liked Nazi's. My dad fought too hard to let them gain ground now.

What I am is determined that my kids, my grandkids, and their kids grow up in the United States of America where the First Amendment applies, no religion (anyone's) dominates but you're free to worship as you choose, and corporations do NOT own the government.

My kids/stepkids/grandkids are just as damn mean as I am! LOL! And now, I'll produce weird stuff (that's what my
grandbabies call it..............





Life is meant to be fun, loving and warm. I get over the warm part (outhouse, it's chilly in winter). I can NOT understand sTrumpet and his consorts.
