I did this in the past & said my insurance would be changing soon & I wanted to do it while it was still covered. That worked. It will buy you some time if necessary. npub13zjlfzffj6qdg2gu6pr484kzl2stg2uatvyf6um7v9d9lqy409zshmazym Holly 🚀⚜️ would that mean I would get EU citizenship?? 🙏⚜️ npub13zjlfzffj6qdg2gu6pr484kzl2stg2uatvyf6um7v9d9lqy409zshmazym Holly 🚀⚜️ “We cannot leave the security of Europe in the hands of voters in Wisconsin every 4 years" says France's Europe Minister. https://x.com/davekeating/status/1849915556335407543?5=46 https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/113/434/580/741/033/359/original/b102b33dfd141144.jpeg npub13zjlfzffj6qdg2gu6pr484kzl2stg2uatvyf6um7v9d9lqy409zshmazym Holly 🚀⚜️ Reuters Special Report: Musk’s SpaceX base was fueled by wheeling-dealing Texas politicians https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/spacex-texas-musk/ #texas npub13zjlfzffj6qdg2gu6pr484kzl2stg2uatvyf6um7v9d9lqy409zshmazym Holly 🚀⚜️ Cards Against Humanity sues SpaceX, alleges “invasion” of land on US/Mexico border https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/09/cards-against-humanity-sues-spacex-alleges-invasion-of-land-on-us-mexico-border/ npub13zjlfzffj6qdg2gu6pr484kzl2stg2uatvyf6um7v9d9lqy409zshmazym Holly 🚀⚜️ It’s kind of poetic that it has to be fucking SpaceX to continue this saga that all started because of Trump’s stupid, racist wall. Goddamn. npub13zjlfzffj6qdg2gu6pr484kzl2stg2uatvyf6um7v9d9lqy409zshmazym Holly 🚀⚜️ Yes, this is real, I did pay CAH in 2017, and here is the current lawsuit: https://cah-sues-elon-musk.s3.amazonaws.com/240919+Plaintiff's+Original+Petition.pdf npub13zjlfzffj6qdg2gu6pr484kzl2stg2uatvyf6um7v9d9lqy409zshmazym Holly 🚀⚜️ In 2017, I paid Cards Against Humanity to protect a pristine plot of border land from Trump’s racist wall. But then an even richer, more racist billionaire—Elon Musk—stole my land and dumped his shit all over it. Elon Musk owes me $100. #ElonOwesMe100Bucks https://www.elonowesyou100dollars.com npub13zjlfzffj6qdg2gu6pr484kzl2stg2uatvyf6um7v9d9lqy409zshmazym Holly 🚀⚜️ I was browsing Bluesky and saw this post. I reacted with anger and sadness. My husband asked if we could not discuss politics on a weekend night out. I reacted with anger & sadness. He said to look around, everyone else was enjoying themselves so I should too, and to ask their opinion on this. I asked if he saw the number of Trump bumper stickers on the cars in the parking lot & I said I do not give a fuck about these people’s opinions. He asked if I had seen a therapist recently. AITA? https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/113/139/138/141/779/017/original/128bdb6c0023f964.jpeg https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/113/139/138/112/034/139/original/08c5341d1f993310.jpeg npub13zjlfzffj6qdg2gu6pr484kzl2stg2uatvyf6um7v9d9lqy409zshmazym Holly 🚀⚜️ 1 more, maybe. But using human space exploration for science & research that can’t be done on Earth, or forcing us to innovate ways to live in space that will also help make life on Earth better bc we have to learn new & different ways of doing things that are better for the environment (ALTERNATIVE ENERGY!) - yes. We should do that. We should always do that for these reasons & a million others I can’t list here. WILL billionaires facilitate that? 😬 If profit is your goal…¯\_(ツ)_/¯ npub13zjlfzffj6qdg2gu6pr484kzl2stg2uatvyf6um7v9d9lqy409zshmazym Holly 🚀⚜️ And also 100% agree that “colonizing” anywhere in space because we’re gonna screw up Earth is a stupid justification. We should work towards not screwing up Earth instead of accepting we will screw it up. Using that logic, you’ll screw up wherever you go. So just stop doing that thing and problem solved. npub13zjlfzffj6qdg2gu6pr484kzl2stg2uatvyf6um7v9d9lqy409zshmazym Holly 🚀⚜️ I get it’s a blog and I don’t disagree with the premise. That being said, humans have survived in very inhospitable places (ISS has been constantly inhabited since 2000, Antarctica has research stations). But agreed, neither one of those really amounts to a “colony”. And there has been talk of having an underground base if we do decide to stay on Mars for awhile. Is it impossible? No. Unlikely? Yes. But this could have been explained better.

My friend lives in Vegas and says the air quality is awful and he can smell smoke bc of those fires. I wanted to show him that resource :) @npub1sw2…e2gz npub13zjlfzffj6qdg2gu6pr484kzl2stg2uatvyf6um7v9d9lqy409zshmazym Holly 🚀⚜️ What the fuck https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/113/117/331/630/016/722/original/de7c39233666b026.jpeg npub13zjlfzffj6qdg2gu6pr484kzl2stg2uatvyf6um7v9d9lqy409zshmazym Holly 🚀⚜️ #Election2024 #HarrisWalz2024 #debate https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/113/117/310/714/646/441/original/a6c90d44daa3818b.jpeg npub13zjlfzffj6qdg2gu6pr484kzl2stg2uatvyf6um7v9d9lqy409zshmazym Holly 🚀⚜️ Just ran into Ted Cruz at Hobby Airport in Houston. If you happen to be there, enjoy. Have fun! npub13zjlfzffj6qdg2gu6pr484kzl2stg2uatvyf6um7v9d9lqy409zshmazym Holly 🚀⚜️ Did someone say #caturday? I think Leia heard so and decided to strike a pose. A definite “Draw me like one of your French cats…” vibe! 😸 #CatsOfMastodon https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/113/015/303/678/027/321/original/8568cbd868c92714.jpeg npub13zjlfzffj6qdg2gu6pr484kzl2stg2uatvyf6um7v9d9lqy409zshmazym Holly 🚀⚜️ 1066 was a hell of a year npub13zjlfzffj6qdg2gu6pr484kzl2stg2uatvyf6um7v9d9lqy409zshmazym Holly 🚀⚜️ I was on the fence before she clarified that he really did mean “Fuck you in particular”. #HarrisWalz2024 https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/112/940/424/830/735/185/original/961c63003631acbb.jpeg npub13zjlfzffj6qdg2gu6pr484kzl2stg2uatvyf6um7v9d9lqy409zshmazym Holly 🚀⚜️ It’s odd to me that the people who wear maxi pads on their ears as a fashion statement use the word “tampon” as an insult. #HarrisWalz2024 npub13zjlfzffj6qdg2gu6pr484kzl2stg2uatvyf6um7v9d9lqy409zshmazym Holly 🚀⚜️ Bonjour! Joyeux #InternationalCatDay 😻!! Did you know that a stray Parisian cat named Félicette went to space?!🙀🚀 She became the first feline launched into space in 1963 as part of the French space program! A “catstronaut”! 🇫🇷🐱🚀 Elle est une belle chatte! #CatsOfMastodon #cat #space https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/112/928/953/756/180/026/original/31433f2c0ae5d09a.jpeg npub13zjlfzffj6qdg2gu6pr484kzl2stg2uatvyf6um7v9d9lqy409zshmazym Holly 🚀⚜️ The series of devastating February firesburned more than 1.2 million acres. Electric lines for oilfield equipment were blamed for at least two of them, state records show. #texas #fire https://www.texastribune.org/2024/08/01/texas-oil-electricity-power-lines-fires-panhandle/ npub13zjlfzffj6qdg2gu6pr484kzl2stg2uatvyf6um7v9d9lqy409zshmazym Holly 🚀⚜️ It’s me. Hi. I’m the childless crazy cat lady. You merely adopted it, but I was born into it. Molded by it. 😽 #CatsOfMastodon #darkknight #childfree #caturday https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/112/861/033/371/080/940/original/1f62e9603d4c83c5.jpeg
