The US is a shitty foster parent; rich enough to look welcoming, but we're polluting stolen land of an ancient people, using human slave wages to do it. Maybe start with reparations for war crimes, take care of our littles and olds, secure struggling citizens and THEN you can take on more.

menswear writer here 👋 camo will not hide you inside a gym

Are you a business that's colluding with ICE? Caving to the biased attacks on DEI? Funding this administration for tax cuts? Guess what? #WeAintBuyingIt Nov 27–Dec 1, instead we are putting our money where are values are.

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Jared Kushner advised Saudi Crown Prince MBS on how to “weather the storm” after his hit squad slaughtered American journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

America is not your sugar daddy, Lindsey.

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk? But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession. But that's just me

Listening to my partner troubleshooting their geriatric parents' computers because they can't get to Hotmail. "Up arrow.. I'm back to where we started.." I'm so overstimulated.

She represents my old town; glad to see they're electing badasses.

Not a joke, or exaggerations.

If we as a country cared about disability and therefore healthcare and access, they would not be building AI centers in Black neighborhoods.

Does everyone remember Adriana Smith, the Georgia nurse who was declared brain dead while nine weeks pregnant? The black woman who was kept alive without the consent of her family because of the fetus? Baby “Chance” was born in June. He’s still in the NICU.

small child on the way out of the library, dragging his feet and chanting angrily: NO PIZZA, BOOKS! NO PIZZA, BOOKS! me: What if...both? Small child stares goggle-eyed for a very long moment, then continues his exit from the library, chanting happily: PIZZA AND BOOKS! PIZZA AND BOOKS!

Autistic accommodations aren’t a luxury They’re not “nice extras” or “special treatment” They’re ESSENTIAL adjustments that help autistic people exist safely, access what others already can, and live with less pain and exhaustion #disability #neurodiversity

They just did "Hey Ho Let's Go" at the World Series, so this is an opportunity to once again state the proven fact that the first time the Ramones' "Blitzkrieg Bop" was played at a sporting event, it was at Metropolitan Stadium in Bloomington, Minnesota. By rock critic Lester Bangs, with a boombox.

Portland dance group offers free Latin dance lessons at ICE facility 💃🏽

ME: sorry guys my mom said i can’t go trick or treating with you DRACULA: aw that sucks WOLFMAN: that bites CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON: that stinks DEVIL: that is so not cool MUMMY: that’s tearable ZOMBIE: what a rip off GHOST: boo

our friend's six-year-old was upset that our vampire-costumed eight-year-old daughter wouldn't bite him and "kill" him last night. brother it's best you learn right now that you can't expect that from every goth girl you see

I got my flu and an updated MMR on the same day, hoping to get a COVID booster somewhere in MPLS this week/end

2nd grader: “I’m painting a huge whale shark at school! It’s a fantasy whale shark though.” “Oh so like it has wings or a unicorn horn?” *2nd grader looks pityingly at me* “No, Mom. It loves fantasy books. It stays up all night reading them. When it detects a good book, its spots flash. Sheesh.”

They're allowed textbooks and notes but still fail the exam. Sweet Jesus. www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

I've talked at length about The Nightmare Before Christmas being an accessible way to broach the subject of why appropriation is bad actually--instead of Sugar Plum Fairies you get John Wayne Gacy shitting down your chimney. Festivily. But, there's a moment in that movie that is CHEF'S KISS.

I've been fortunate enough to try out different bikes this year. I know more of what I'm looking for & where I prefer to carry weight (still figuring out what style seat for EDS). I get to try out a cargo trike this week from the bike library, hoping for good weather. Imma get so many pumpkins.

Cinemas playing FRANKENSTEIN right now!! frankensteingdt.com

It's been a while since I shouted about these pins but they're all still available. I hear they make great gifts for the doctors in your life 😉

Aloha! Meet Vanessa a volunteer with Indivisible Hawai’i. She explains why our event is called No Dictators and why showing up this Saturday, October 18th to protest is so important. #Indivisible #NoKingsHawaii #Resist

The temporary ‘inconvenience’ of wearing a mask should be closely weighed against the seemingly permanent ‘nuisance’ of losing everything you have while laying riddled with illness, helplessly bound to a bed that has become your prison.

System Of A Down and Nickelback released their freshman albums at the same time. Is anyone in both camps these days?

Tonight I learned that one of my heroes has died. I loved her and colleagues' "adventures" as a child and grew up to admire her scientific work for so many reasons. RIP Jane Goodall. Jane Goodall, wildlife advocate and primate expert, dies at 91 - www.reuters.com/business/env...

I'm still listening to Kendrick's Superbowl Halftime show, most days at least once, to remind myself how we felt at the start of this year.

Please stop bitching about your "rights" when what you're after is convenience. Person with the "I want a haircut" signs during COVID, I'm talking at and about you folx.

This adorable child, surprised that I am aware the word "tuff" means cool, asked how I know. Because a bad-ass femme author said so.

Ungentle reminder from a foster kid that almost anyone can procreate, but "Parent" isn't so much a title as a verb. You can absolutely be shit at parenting, but unlike a driver's license, there's no test.

Well, if you insist.. @geocaching.bsky.social

Hey! If you’re on the east coast, you’re already at the bar. If you’re on the west coast, you’re on your way to the bar. If you’re not drinking, good on you, but now’s the time I ask for money because Citizens United turbofucked our country’s political campaigns and I gotta do it.

No, very sweet child, there is a big difference between "chasing rainbows" and *unicorn chasers*. One is a figure of speech, on seeking reward from a figment of the imagination. The other is, of course, a literal description.

My favorite game as a parent is when the little ones become interested in things I enjoy as well, and pretending not to know anything about it while they explore. This week: weightlifting. And holy shit, there's a gym in my neighborhood that has a children's program.

I'm gonna thank Queer Eye for helping me learn to happy cry again. I know it's a televised production, but the little reminders in each episode, beautiful moments to celebrate and quiet reflections where we sit silently, feeling worthy, even temporarily, are healing.

On the list of harmless things I'd go back and tell my younger self, right up there would be loving your curly hair. Your life will be infinitely easier if you learn from an early age how to care for and love the curls you were born with.

Nobody will get fired at the @wsj.com for spreading anti-trans hate. No one will be held accountable for their shitty journalism. Everything will continue as they have been and they’ll do it again soon.

POV: listening to a 40y/o help his HoH father with the computer I've the phone "Right click.. troubleshoot.. open a browser.. OUTLOOK... Dad, DAD, open the START menu. Type "cmd"-- just type it, no after you click the Start button.." My ribs hurt

I'm nuerospicy. If something's off in my orbit, sensory issues seem to be more.. well, just *more*. I've been sick the last few days, and fighting through it with medicine, trying to finish landscaping before the weekend. Working outside = sweat. My clothes get clammy, so I change every hour or so 🤷🏽

Not today, Satan; I teach my kids to always ask for a secret password 🔑
