I need more justification to purchase cold smoked salmon. Please help us both on our journey.

I relisten to a lot of podcasts in the background while I do my spreadsheets and one of my favorite things about @michaelhobbes.bsky.social podcasts is that there is so much laughter in most eps. Listening to him laugh with @yrfatfriend.bsky.social and @notalawyer.bsky.social is a legit mood lifter.

It's a trip finding out how to properly moisturize your skin at 40.

Finally playing catch-up for this year's Oscars. OBAA-its fucking way too accurate when it comes to talking about having an almost adult. Del Toro is consistently one of the best actors working today, but Leo is a good foil for him.

I was so excited that it's Friday the 13th that I forgot what comes after.

the teens are going to have an incredible time and they deserve it

It is fucking weird to be perceived by everyone as a woman approaching menopause and they talk about HRT like it's just what you do. And there is that jarring moment where I remember they are talking about Estrogen and not T. And I feel some kind of way about it. But I'm not sure what way that is.

BREAKING: The federal government has filed a motion seeking to end asylum claims for the family of Liam Conejo Ramos, according to the lawyer representing the family.

Just a normal government doing normal government things like...trying to punish someone with deportation after kidnapping them and their five year old. DHS requests expedited deportation proceedings against family of Liam Conejo Ramos | MPR News share.google/Ta3ckCKpsH3U...

I could listen to an entire miniseries of episodes of Sarah Marshall on @yourewrongabout.bsky.social deconstructing why Claire has a wild fucking take and is about as wrong as someone can be about the meaning of a phrase.

Such a good thread. It made me think about how when women have a whisper network to keep each other safe (in response to shit like this!) it's somehow The Worst Thing Ever. But the men in the Epstein files will probably never face the justice they deserve for actual harm they cause.

It's so funny to me that some folks are shocked that the devout Baptist Mike Johnson tried to school the Pope on the Bible. Growing up in fundamentalism, those folks think the Pope is an agent of the devil and that Catholics are not Christians. I'm sure he was delighted to have the justification.

I must not engage in discourse. Discourse is the vibe-killer. I will face the discourse. I will permit it to pass over me and around me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the discourse has gone there will be nothing. Only vibe will remain.

After George Floyd was murdered by the state, the Twin Cities started building neighborhood coalitions. Providing real help to those in need with food, cash, and other support. We are not professional agitators or idealists, just people trying to prevent more state violence through peaceful protest.

Listening to the 1st episode of @ihatejamesdobson.bsky.social and so much about my childhood makes sense. Including; my dad's bizarre dislike of post modernism, the insistence that I listen to Focus on the Family and Dobson believing he was speaking with the voice of God. Just uh...it was a cult.

Swear to God @ifbookspod.bsky.social chose their latest book purely so Michael could make Peter read the awful prose. Thanks for suffering through this book guys, this was a fabulous episode.

Aranofsky has made a few films that have deeply impacted me, it is horrific to see he's doing this.

I got my hair cut for the first time in 6-7 years, releasing the last vestige of my life before The Divorce, COVID-19, and a lot of other things. Still working through some things because every picture I take I hate, all I can see is my imperfections. But I wanted to post about it anyway.

You see what them lying to themselves has done to their minds and hearts and souls? Do whatever you have to not to become that. The worst person you can ever lie to is yourself. It’s trading all your real agency for the myth of perfect safety.

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

If folks don't know what to do with their rage today, and they have cash, I suggest going to standwithminnesota.com and finding someone who needs help

wrote about the camps for my newsletter this weekend www.nytimes.com/2026/01/24/o...

I have a guest cat for a few weeks and y'all better believe I am extra excited for these snuggles! He's a sweet little old man with cerebellar hypoplasia who is here to eat those treats and get pets. And he's all out of treats.

RT if you don't even know how the hell to open a ChatGPT tab

America is a fucking travesty.

You know, Europeans can feel whatever they want to feel about this situation, that’s fine, but actually, I have never blamed a country for its dictator, especially in places where wealth equality is staggering and where larger powers exert enormous influence on elections.

I will never understand the idea that men's shorts should be long. Let's see that leg!! I feel lucky that my husband is willing to show the gams off.

When a Texas congressperson stands up for MN more than @amyklobuchar.com who represents us, that really says something. Thank you Rep Crockett, you are such an inspiration and a spot of hope in very hard times.

It's me. Right now.

I am very disregulated right now and I don't appreciate it in the slightest. I'm going to need my nervous system to get its shit together as soon as possible. Thanks much.

What the fuck.

Fuck ICE. The American Gestapo needs to get the fuck out of my state.

RT if you've never had a tab of ChatGPT open 'just to do quick research'

I am, once again, comfort listening to the audiobook of Stephen King's It read by @thestevenweber.bsky.social like I do in times of turmoil. I love audiobooks, and Webber gives an amazing performance and it always takes me away from this bullshit to a simpler fear. One you can attack and defeat.

Knowing how the streets are right now I knew exactly what was coming for this loser lol I was born and raised here, this is not the time to be doing anything but a penguin walk in city streets and sidewalks.

From my book on how bigotry works- The useful idiot has to believe that they are the exception to the bigotry they are directing at their group and that the bigots won't turn on them once they are no longer useful... aka: "the face eating leopard won't eat MY face."

Todays existential feelings in one Simpsons gif.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

2 episodes into Welcome to Derry and I'm not sure how I feel about it.

I know nothing about most sports, and college sports in particular. So the random appearance of these two skeets is funny to me.

Lot of talk about “wow they killed a WHITE woman” and yes, racism is the original sin of this country, far far more Black/Brown people are killed than white, that is all true. But angry insecure men killing women - any woman - for not obeying them is a thing that is older than any nation on earth.

Amy Klobuchar continues to be one of the most intentionally ignorant and idiotic Democrats to ever hold office. Renee's son is not an orphan. He has a mother. The woman Renee was married to. The woman who threw herself over her wife's body, grieving the loss of her love. Fuck you, Amy. Fuck. You.

And THIS is why Klobuchar is a fucking corpo dem. She will always prioritize herself and her career over the people she represents and at this point, common decency.

Anyone who wields a gun with state power should never be allowed to conceal their face. Pass it on.

hi Jonathan Ross murdered Renee Good in my city yesterday and they don't want you to know his name is Jonathan Ross. so if you need to know who Jonathan Ross is, that's who Jonathan Ross is. the ICE agent who murdered that woman? yeah his name is Jonathan Ross. fuck you Bluesky.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

What the absolute fuck is this you ask? This is the biggest metropolitan area in the state closing their schools because of the risk to their students of assault by federal agents.

A Black man named Keith Porter was shot and killed by an ICE officer on New Year’s Eve. Marimar Martinez was shot five times by an ICE officer in Chicago who went on to brag about leaving seven holes in her body. This is not new but it is expanding.
