Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 25 days in the hospital. Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare. The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave, is now getting all three.

Well, drat. I take comfort in the fact that the US got farther than anyone thought they would.

I’m not even ON threads but I’ve seen this more than once, and this is exactly it

The man in the front is holding a sign that reads: "THE FIRST BLOOD FOR AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE Was Shed By A Negro, CRISPUS ATTUCKS." this particular parade was the largest march held by Black Americans at the time. But what was the occasion? It wasn't Independence Day 🧵

Oh definitely. I live in Florida but I will always be a Washingtonian at heart. I follow WA news, root for WA sports, etc. I’m proud of WA but not so much the USA as a whole, not a lot of the time. Definitely NOT proud of FL.

They changed the airport in the county where I live to name it after the prez. At first I was pissed because I don’t want to fly out of anything associated with him, but now I think it’s fitting: JFK airport is massive, this loser gets tiny Palm Beach International which barely anyone has heard of.

How much taxpayer money went to fake books?! Appropriate, since we know he doesn’t read, or think.

new merch coming soon

Hell yeah we are

That should not have been a red card.

Called my lymphedema specialist to try to get an appointment. AI answered, complete with vocal fry that about made me hang up, got my name wrong, took my info (which I had to correct multiple times) and didn’t schedule me for anything.

Trans women are women and Trans men are men. That’s all I wanted to say right now.

Clarence Thomas is not a biology expert Sex is bimodal - it's why intersex people exist Sex is mutable - it's why HRT works Transness is innate - it's why we have existed throughout human history and across cultures He and the court are the ones who lie

Thanks, John. Should have thought of that: bookshop.org/p/books/char...

I really don’t want to live in this state anymore.

The day is hot

Fun fact: ancient Egyptians thought that somatic symptom disorders were caused by a “wandering uterus” and they prescribed “vaginal fumigation” as treatment.

Yes, this.

Why it’s time for Democratic socialism!

Hey Bluesky, could you help me signal boost my Big Cartel shop? A sale or two would be a massive help. Jeremy Creatures are designed and hand-sewed by me, and they take many hours to create. jeremycreature.bigcartel.com

On March 26, 2026, during a debate on violence against women in Germany’s Bundestag, left-wing MP Kathrin Gebel was repeatedly interrupted by AfD MP Martin Reichardt. She responded: “Mr. Reichardt, the clitoris has 3,000 nerve endings, and you’re still more sensitive. That’s quite an achievement.”

Anyway, if you want an *actual* distillation of my political and social views, I actually published one this week. I know, I know, it's not a "quiz." But it's actually the best thing I've written this year. :) www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Sad for no reason on a Friday. Thanks, depression.

The creepy ice cream truck is back! This time at 9:30 at night playing full volume pop music. Better than out of tune Christmas music when it’s not Christmas, I guess.

TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS

burning on an uninhabited planet: a violin --Daisuke Kawai 無人惑星にて燃えるヴァイオリン　川合大祐 Note: it's also possible to read it as "the violin burning on an uninhabited planet," "violins burning on an uninhabited planet," "on an uninhabited planet, a burning violin," etc. #senryu #gendaisenryu #translation

alright, who did this? #hatm

Poor Tom, that eats the swimming frog, the toad, the tadpole, the wall-newt, and the water; that in the fury of his heart, when the foul fiend rages, eats cow-dung for sallets; swallows the old rat and the ditch-dog; drinks the green mantle of the standing pool

Woke up with a headache, bit my lip and spilled my coffee trying to keep my cat from sticking his butt in my breakfast. Happy Saturday.

This is also why you follow government contracts procedure and don’t just give scads of money to “a guy I know” through a no-bid contract.

Wondering if the the Iran MOU is required to follow the same formatting as my community arts MOU which they have rejected 3 times for not following exact specifications (and I am a music therapist not a lawyer, so no wonder).

But to th’ goal

It absolutely is a bop- everyone needs a song about a shallow grave to bop to and this is it.

You should read these poems.

Once again, Shakespeare ftw

There are currently more bills attacking trans youth’s right to play sports across the U.S. than there are trans youth in school sports.

Since PTSD is being invoked to excuse any and all abuse and misconduct, let us acknowledge where it is most common. .... From my book Recollections of My Nonexistence.

Voting for me is easy. You can write my name in the write-in box and then fill in the bubbles accordingly. If you need to pull out your phone to look up how to spell my name, that’s completely fine. I hope I can earn a first place ranking on your ballot. Andreaformaine.com

I say again, In soothing them we nourish ’gainst our Senate The cockle of rebellion, insolence, sedition, Which we ourselves have plough’d for, sow’d, and scatter’d

Graham Platner trying to explain away his behavior as *living a regular life* really evokes *locker room talk* for me. The normalization of men’s abuse of women has to stop. Abusing women is not regular or normal or in any way okay. I hope this gets called out by lots and lots of people.

Signed up for @swwim.bsky.social daily poetry emails and it is the best way to start my day. Highly recommend!

Wow, what are the odds?

Error i’ th’ bill, sir, error i’ th’ bill!
