Artist. Mom. Wife. Returning college student. Commercial real estate. Progressive politics, not much of a filter, mediocre housekeeping. Read more books!
Maybe I'm overly sensitive because I live here, but I'm really tired of seeing "F Texas," "Texas can secede," etc. Nearly half of the citizens of Texas are democrats. We are trying like hell to change things, and it's an uphill battle. We need support, not jokes.
I had a woman come up to me in the grocery store to angrily tell me she hates my tattoos and I won't be able to get a job with them. She was not amused when I told her I did commercial real estate and asked if she wanted a business card.
Going through my notifications this morning, and I see I've had folks in the MAGA crowd say I'm stupid, I'm ugly, my hair is not my natural color (duh), my art is terrible and I'm going to cry in November. They're such loving Christian people who act just like Jesus would.
TEXANS BEWARE! 🚨🚨🚨
Check your ballot when it prints out! Three women in a group I’m a part of reported that their ballots changed from Beto to Abbott!
Make sure to verify your selections are correct before you scan your ballot into the machine.
Wow. Just wow. I got a message saying I shouldn’t post a pic that shows my body because I’m not skinny.
News flash. I like my body. Even the squishy bits.
I’m 47 years old with zero fucks to give about what people think about me. 🤷🏼♀️
So my husband kept steering me away from this one woman at the bbq we attended.
I couldn’t figure out why. Thought maybe she hit on him.
He told me later it’s because she’s super pro trump & he was trying to let me enjoy a party without fighting idiots.
That’s true love. 💗
I’m in twitter jail, probably for fighting back against jerks spewing lies. Comment if y’all can see this.
This is my first time having a limited account.
PSA - A passport IS A VALID FORM OF ID used to vote in Texas. Poll workers in Sun City in Georgetown are turning folks away who are using their passport.
Call 844-TX-VOTES to report any of this voter suppression or intimidation.
We can't let people be turned away!
Dammit,

from Friday, and guess who’s on again? RICK FUCKING SANTORUM.
You’re back in time out.
Can’t you pay his contract out and save potential viewers from his idiocy? This is ridiculous.
Today, I had a woman roll down her window in the lane next to me, and yell "I'll pray for you! Homosexuality is a sin."
Me - "Darlin, so is your haircut. You're in my thoughts."
Then I rolled up my window while maintaining uncomfortable eye contact.
Screw bigots. Love y'all. ☮️
@Zhyar_Handren
Any time a person starts a sentence with, “I’m not a racist,” there’s a very high likelihood that what follows is racist.
See - “Seeing a woman of color will magically erase my memories of white Ariel in the cartoon and RUIN MY CHILDHOOD.”
Pay attention to bots. Report them as spam.
#walkaway
is a ridiculous bot driven campaign intended to divide.
The stats do not add up.
I personally know ZERO progressives who are converting to republican and no longer voting blue.
@SameeraKhan
Or maybe because we are really struggling here in Texas and unlike Ted, AOC and Beto actually care about people.
If this was your first thought, you really need to have a come to Jesus moment. I feel sorry for you.
You can’t tell me yesterday wasn’t planned and law enforcement didn’t know about it. The rioters had freaking hoodies printed up with “Civil War - January 6, 2021” for goodness sake.
This is much bigger than its being reported.

@elonmusk
If you were peacefully sleeping and someone ran through your house blaring an air horn and screaming, "pay attention to me," you'd have a more accurate description of what Musk is doing.
VOTERS: you need to make sure BEFORE NOVEMBER that your voter registration hasn’t been purged. This is happening to hundreds of thousands of folks. If you’re black, you have a 900% higher chance of this happening to you.

I did the same in Georgetown today. I was wearing birkenstocks and a peace sign on my tee with visible piercings and tattoos. Guess who ran into issues with the folks issuing ballots while others got to go through with no problem?
Over Thanksgiving weekend, I'm going to be putting together bags for the homeless folks in our town with my daughters. I was thinking of a hoodie, socks, toiletries, etc. What else should I add to these? I'll be putting a few hundred dollars toward making them.
I rarely share pics of my girls on Twitter. But today is an exception. This young woman of mine turns 18 today. She made me a mom. She's smart, funny, beautiful and kind. I'm so proud of her, I feel like my heart may beat out of my chest sometimes. Happy, happy birthday.
For everyone criticizing
@MichaelAvenatti
, saying he’s grandstanding or fame seeking? How about you sit down and watch a man who’s been on the right side of history since this whole farce of a presidency started, and has brought so much corruption to light.
Where are the members of the House and the Senate as it relates to solving this tragedy?!?! It’s not enough to give speeches about it. People want to see RESULTS. This is why people do not trust career politicians to get things done.
#Basta
I'm sick to death of worrying every time my daughters go anywhere here in Texas. Even though they're 17 & 19, they check in with me often to let me know they're ok, because we all know there could be a mass shooting at any time.
I'm so fucking angry.
@DonaldJTrumpJr
This is what a human being with real human emotions looks like.
I get that you don’t recognize decency or compassion as those are in short supply when it comes to your family.
Ok we are almost done! Just need to finish the fabric around his neck, the eyes of the peacock feathers, some of the jewels and little touch ups. Just a couple more weeks and this piece will be complete!
So Rapey McForehead shares public opinions about women he doesn't find attractive, while simultaneously being under investigation for trafficking underage girls for sex.
Today's republican party, y'all.
@TomCottonAR
1) You can get an electric car for less than $30,000 and the money you're saving on gas will pay for most if not all of the car payment.
2) The people I see bitching about gas the most are driving an $80,000+ truck that gets about 10 mpg.
Getting off Twitter for a bit.
And to those who sent me messages saying they don’t give a shit that my husband will likely lose his job because of the Tx lege walk out? GFY
I can be team democracy and also concerned about our family’s survival.
I’m in tears.
Oh Jesus Christ on a Cracker. I can’t breathe!!! 😂🤣😆
This is an actual promotional poster by the Rockwell County GOP.
They were trolled so badly, they took it down.
I can’t, y’all. I can’t even.

I get it a lot. This old guy told me, "Well, they might look good at 35 now, but wait until you're 75."
I was just happy he thought I was 35, because I'm turning 49 in August. 😂

@MarieB41
Thank you! I’m married to an army vet who’s a handgun instructor. He agrees with you.
I’ll add the last people who need guns are the ones who post pics of their weapons as props or with bravado. Those of us who are properly trained to handle them don’t need vanity gun posts.
If you come on my feed and try to explain to me why a 13 year old with his hands up should have been shot because “he was in a gang” or “they thought he had a gun” or “reasons” I’m going to block you.
The kid followed orders and then was immediately shot.
Please don't message me to say ugly things about the fact that I get Botox and lip injections. It's really none of your concern, I don't need your validation, and it's incredibly rude.
I am nearly 50 years old and do things that make me feel good. This is one of them.
I’m going to get shot one of these days.
I just went into circle k to get a Diet Coke and this dude came in without a mask.
I stopped on my way out and said, “I’m sorry about your micro penis”
The checkers snorted.
I’m in a mood today.
Someone randomly told me I shouldn’t be so political on Twitter and I’d sell more art.
Nah. I’m good. I’m not so desperate to make money that I’ll sell my soul to make people who see me as an enemy like me enough to purchase my work.
I’m going to say this as nicely as I can.
It’s incredibly disrespectful to send inappropriate DMs to anyone, much less a happily married woman.
Knock it off or I’m going to start posting screenshots with your username.
Thanks,

I have three fully vaccinated friends who are covid positive.
Thankfully, because they are vaccinated, they just feel under the weather like a mild flu.
Breakthrough cases don’t mean the vaccine doesn’t work.
Not having severe illness means it IS working. Get the shot.
Someone asked me recently why I don’t leave Texas given the politics here.
This is my home. My family has been here since before Texas was a state. I have roots. I have family. My job and that of my husband are here.
I will not leave. I will stay and fight to make it better.
@AnnieOnHerOwn
@doc1815
They did. They also posted in the group to alert others to double and triple check their ballots. There’s nothing wrong with that.
STOP telling women to leave Texas.
Most people can’t just pick up and move out of state. Many of us are multi generational Texans who are devastated by what’s happening.
48% of us are democrats.
Help us stay and fight.
Please.
Y’all, I get it. Some people don’t like tattoos. I don’t need a DM telling me how much you hate mine.
I don’t like flaming hot Cheetos but I’m not going to message you if you post a pic of them.
I'm really fucking tired of this whole "late term abortion" argument. Less than 1% of abortions are what are considered "late term," and they are done when a fetus is incompatible with life or life threatening to the mother. NOBODY comes in at 30 weeks and says, "I'm over it."
Welcome to Texas, where the government won't tell you to wear a mask, lets you carry an AR-15 into a restaurant, but will force you to have a baby.
This is why I donate to and volunteer for Beto. We desperately need a change.
@NikkiHaley
I ran a small business & I paid much more than the current minimum wage. It didn’t hurt my bottom line. It created an environment where I had loyal employees who weren’t trying to balance two or three jobs to stay afloat.
People working a full time job shouldn’t be in poverty
@johnrich
I know people who felt like they had the flu for a day and a sore arm after getting it.
But I lost four friends to covid who refused to get vaccinated.
Sore arm beats death.
@Alyssa_Milano
How else does a person who’s traveling get from one place to another?
Also, it’s 2019. My teenagers have “fancy” smartphones. They also care about what’s happening in the children concentration camps.
You can have nice things and also express compassion.
My 17 year old vaccinated daughter had to get covid tested to start college a couple of weeks ago. She wasn't screaming about tyranny or her freedoms. She got tested, it was negative, and she started class.
BIG FUCKING DEAL. Get vaxxed or get tested. It's not hard.
@MichaelAvenatti
Beto shifted the entire political landscape in Texas. He was strong, passionate and fought for the right issues. I’d out him in the camp of fighters.
I’m so disappointed by the comments I see from many Texans regarding homelessness in our state.
Many of these folks are sitting in their fancy churches, wearing their nice clothes and callously judging folks who have nothing.
Just like Jesus would do, right?
@GregAbbott_TX
What values?
Pro life?
You’re the reason our hospitals are running out of ICU beds and Texans are dying.
Death is the opposite of life.
But keep holding maskless events tho, because that’s responsible. 🙄

My daughter had to go to the polling location in her county at school to get a limited ballot so she could vote for statewide elections.

@MichaelAvenatti
He's like a boyfriend I had who would hit me, or cheat, or do something else horrible, then cry like this. When I broke up with him, he was baffled. This guy is a prime example of entitlement, trying to convince people HE is the real victim.
I lost my daddy this week, and my heart is broken. He was a professor of literature, a traveler, a beekeeper, a poet, a mentor and a force of nature. My world will never be the same without him in it. He wasn’t always an easy man to love, but I loved him fiercely every day.
