There's no black tea in my office today. Should I tell HR this constitutes a hostile workplace environment? Or do I file an OSHA complaint about it?

Another donation quilt started. I feel in love with the koalas in the fabric.

The starving crocodiles that have been released onto this ship full of children need better training, proper monitoring, and also must cease any unnecessary eating NOW. No children on the lido deck or 1st class should EVER be consumed. That's why I'm voting an additional $44B for crocodiles.

Lot of conservative dudes out there telling on themselves by being astounded by a level of ”logistics” that the average mom has to manage every fucking day

Abolish ICE is now the moderate minimum position, Prosecute ICE is where Dems should be at next.

New longarm has arrived and it is glorious. #quilting

If you’re a sitting member of Congress and not reacting to this speech by calling for immediate impeachment, removal and conviction, why are we paying you?

"we don't want people thinking Democrats are for open borders" I am! who gives a shit!!! my life has been immeasurably improved by the presence of immigrants in my community, regardless of their status, there is literally no downside there! why would I give a shit!!!!

yeah i'll vote for gavin newsom under extreme circumstances. like say we're on a life raft and need to decide who to eat first. or our plane crashes in the andes and we're figuring out who to barbecue for dinner. or if we're wagon-bound and stranded in a frozen pass over the sierra nevada mountains,

I love when you tell people how terrible Newsom is, they're always like, "Well, it's nice to have ideals, but if it comes down to him or the Nazi in the general, *I* am going to vote for him" WE'RE TELLING YOU HOW TERRIBLE HE IS NOW SO IT'S *NOT* A CHOICE BTW HIM & A NAZI, CARL. THAT'S THE POINT.

My new longarm is getting delivered next week and I just realized all my quilt tops are in storage due to the house remodel. Panic sewing has started, and my quilt circle is stepping up with stuff for me to quilt. Love their sacrifice! 🤣

I think that an underreported reason for why "<insert group here> has low AI adoption" is that many people do not have the luxury to be able to trade time for accuracy. It's hard enough for women and minorities to succeed in STEM careers. We don't have the same luxury to be forgiven for mistakes

If you have “sincere concerns” about trans athletes in sports, all it means is that you have given yourself a rationale for your bigotry that you sincerely believe exonerates you for aligning to a far-right tactic for marginalization and exclusion.

Jonathan Ross is a murderer.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.

Bounced a ball in front of my dog. Ball hit a crack and went flying. Dog went flying after the ball. I didn't drop the leash fast enough so I went flying too. Pre cell phones, so I had to walk home a mile on a broken ankle.

Mark Kelly is an American hero who bravely served his country for decades. The US military exists to protect Americans' free speech—not suppress it. Hegseth and Trump clearly don't understand this, and the use of military resources and funding for a sham censure is a disgrace.

Special prosecutors on day 1. Everyone in this administration who broke laws— including every ICE agent who ever kidnapped anyone— must go to prison. All of Epstein’s buddies prosecuted too, Democrat or Republican doesn’t matter. Has to be this way or this country won’t survive.

I have so many questions now.

On no, the people who don't pay taxes will run away and not pay taxes elsewhere! Won't someone think of the unpaid taxes that the state will lose?

I made this top last summer, it's about half way quilted now. Had to pause while the house is getting remodeled, hope to finish it this spring.

Can confirm this applies to quilters.

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

Some heroes don't wear capes.

The political desire to define women solely in terms of their reproductive capacity is, and always has been, a way to control their bodies. This is why affirming trans rights is also affirming women’s rights. Feminism disrupts patriarchal logics that seek to police people according to their biology.

I stg it's getting harder every day to tell real news from The Onion.

Dude can't imagine something people have successfully done for hundreds of thousands of years. And we listen to him why?

Yeah. Everyone wants a plane full of sweaty people. 🙄

Lol someone put me on a block list of people who hate people who use AI. My dude, I have a Master's in AI. I'm mostly against over-hyping and unethical use of AI.

In today's entry for terrible design, I'm at the gate at the airport and an official seeming, very loud alarm is going off. No one is doing anything because there's no indication why it's going off or what we should do.

I am in this comic and I don't like it. 🤣

A movie that takes place where you're from.

My sincere belief that we probably should all dress a little nicer while traveling is superseded by my sincere belief that we should mind our own business.

Great blue heron hunting. He wasn't too sure about me taking his picture, but eventually decided breakfast was more important.

We gotta bring back shame in a big way

Zohran Mamdani doesn’t make me, an American Jew, feel unsafe. Having the Coast Guard, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, decide that a swastika isn’t really a symbol of hate? That makes me, an American Jew, feel pretty damn unsafe.

I’ve had enough of the speculation surrounding subpar St Louis Cardinals middle infielders. The public needs to know the truth. It’s time to release the Eckstein files.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

Grumble. I was going to stock up at Michael's on a yarn I like for Project Linus blankets. Everything showed in stock for home delivery. Go to the cart and half the colors are out of stock and the other half were 65¢ a skein more than the order page said. Whole cart abandoned in frustration.

Every Democratic senator who votes for this should be primaried.

I think we need to stop calling it empathy and go back to calling it decency. It isn't a favour you're doing someone else, it's you proving that you aren't a fucking ghoul

There is nothing any court can write, any judge can order, that makes bullying children an acceptable school district policy. And any judge who rules otherwise is not fit to sit on the bench.

Spicy lentils in the Instant Pot. (Can make on the stove or slow cooker as well) 1c lentils, preferably red or yellow Can diced tomatoes A chopped onion 5 chopped carrots Salt, cumin, curry powder, garlic, turmeric, red pepper flakes 2c water Dump into instant pot, stir, 10 min on high. 6 svgs

This. If you don't think quality feedback is important, why are you assigning the work? Yes, grading can take a lot of time. I've done it. But how else are you giving students individual feedback?

I do have a litmus test for my candidates now and it's that I want them to be genuinely pissed off, not pretend pissed off

"I don't think I should have to pay for other people's healthcare." "In that case oh boy are you gonna be upset when you find out how insurance works."
