I went for a nice ride on the Nashua River Rail Trail with some friends, and everything about the outing was pleasant except the middle-aged white men clipped in and rocking aero bars shouting at us COMING THROUGH, MOVE OVER, STAY ON YOUR SIDE

JON: That little faggot with the earring and the makeup? Yeah, buddy, that's his own hair. That little faggot got his own jet airplane. That little faggot, he's a millionaire. GARFIELD: We should imprison all sexual deviants

Never mind 1776, here's the Pueblo Revolt of 1680.

i think it's a tandem

This will be a thread of tips for people suffering through their first god-awful heat wave with no or subpar AC. I'm a perpetually broke Southern Californian so my ideas run cheap.

“AI in libraries” should be “what can you tell us about corporate profit-driven control of search and retrieval” instead of “when are librarians going to get on board.”

I say it often but once again: By granting them borrowing privileges and protecting their privacy, public libraries afford children a form of civic standing and respect that has few parallels in our “free” society, which mostly treats children as chattel. Vociferously defend public libraries. 📚

1/3 I needed a surgery a year ago. It took a lot pushing to get the surgery approved. When asked for family history, like an idiot, I said I was adopted and did not know. I was told the surgery would not happen until I had that history and a colonoscopy. I did know who my bio parents were.

I am required to wait until my spouse leaves for the weekend before I can make a batch of oven-roasted kale chips, because she claims they make everyone gassy

🥚 So I’m going through some Serious Medical Testing after an incidental finding on a CT scan last month. (Which hopefully means nothing but….) My situation would be helped if I had family medical history for context. I was explaining the fact of my adoption to the nurse asking intake questions…1/2

Honestly, I want this plus the time stolen. Of course, time is irreplaceable. Adoptees deserve reparations. 🥚

in the USA one doesn’t generally hear the phrase “forced #adoption,” despite the fact that virtually every context in which a parent relinquishes a child to a family of strangers—Baby Scoop, intercountry adoption, adoptions of Indigenous children, CPS foster care to adoption—is forced.

Those of us whose lives were forever altered by forced adoption—carried out by churches, and agencies and abetted our own government—are super clear that the legal sealing of our birth records, adoption records and original birth certificates serve the purpose of concealing all this vileness.

🥚 Huge news in the adoptee rights community: the UK apologies for decades of forced adoptions. Looking at you, USA, and all your see-no-evil adoptive moms who got their kids via behind-the-scenes coercion, deception, and bullying. The shame is yours as well. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Weird to see your old friend’s luxury family vacation photos full of smiling faces against a backdrop of pristine nature, knowing it’s all paid for by his big salary from OpenAI

I feel like I should repost this every day until everyone reposts it every day and demands this simple change with big impact

I don't think conservatives should rap. I think when they do it they're reinforcing wage theft.

Happy July 1 to all VA-born adopted people! If you’re 18+ you can apply for a copy of your original birth certificate today!! 🎉 Here’s the link to the application. www.vdh.virginia.gov/vital-record... Please see next skeet for instructions from the Virginia Adoptee Rights Alliance

this doesn’t seem to me to solve any practical problem, and I don’t know if it’s even real, and yet I really hope it is

Time to listen to Gustav Holst's banger, Mars.

Gaza is erasing us. I’m a volunteer nurse saving the wounded & injured on the brink of death, but I’m losing my family to starvation. My brother Abood suffers from severe epilepsy & fatal seizures, suffocating without medication. Please donate to save us! I beg you help🤲 chuffed.org/project/1844...

It’s so freaking hot out that my teen took off his hoodie while walking the city. 🥵🥵🥵

I was chatting my with dental hygienist about this and she told me she had the pleasure of meeting Julia Child. I asked how, and she said “She was my patient” 🤯

the user-was-blocked account isn’t as fun as it seemed at first, since the majority of the skeets I see are from Palestinian mutual aid accounts 🙁

THIS. GIVE US BACK what you stole from us.

It should be fixed gear so you can ride it backwards. I've seen people use reel mowers & it's more of a vacuuming motion than a lawnmower motion.

We should be able to check out this item from public libraries.
