It's starting! Video has instructions for how to use the coupon.

Nah, fuck that guy.

Michael Fanone's take on Lindsey Graham is one of the most powerful I've read:

People! @peculiarityshop.bsky.social is running a special earrings-only QueerVC today starting around 3pm EDT, with both refurbished items AND handmade items from their talented artists. AND there is a 15% coupon today!

My friend Liz just lost their job after sending a kid to college. A 3k goal to keep themselves secure and the kid in school is super reasonable if you can send a couple bucks!

Also arrived today -- a basic case for holding rings. I clearly need more rings. @peculiarityshop.bsky.social

Flail!! @peculiarityshop.bsky.social

Dearest Agatha, dual draws nearer without the promised delivery. The empty mailbox offers me no succor.

Status report. 3pm has passed with no delivery. Spouse will remind me the mail doesn't usually arrive until around 5pm, but I remain hopeful.

Excuse me, I have to set up a chair at the end of the driveway and kill a few hours until my mail carrier arrives. I think the WiFi extends far enough for me to continue working. But I don't know whether I can maintain the Kermit levels of arm.l flailing for that long. @peculiarityshop.bsky.social

@romancingthevote.com Woot!!!

"Our culture is built to eternally forgive men, generally, and white men of means, especially, for their mistakes." @tressiemcphd.bsky.social, October 2025.

Void Cat has been living in our house for a year and a half. When she and my DIL moved on, she was very skittish, scared and not friendly. Even now, unlike Handsome, she is not a snugglebug. 1/2

A much younger and less aware me once asked my Dad why his mother didn't his abusive violent alcoholic father. He just looked at me and said "She had no money of her own and nowhere to go and couldn't take her kids."

Husband checks the front porch, says, "Hey, you got a delivery." Me: "Who's it from?" Him, reading. "It says Wings...?" as if he's not sure he is reading it correctly. The gasp I gusped before I even had the box in my hands. 1/? @ajijaakwe.bsky.social @wingsndnsilver.bsky.social

The @romancingthevote.com auction is live and of course only now noticed a key mistake in my listing for quilted sneakers. I typo'ed the available size range as 36-37 EU. It should have been 36 - 47 on EU sizing. Mods team, is it too late to fix this?

AUCTION IS LIVE, PEOPLE!!

Hello everyone! On the day before the auction, we're going to talk about WHY we do this, something that has particular salience on the day that final SCOTUS opinions are released and we once again have to try to remove the knives from our backs.

Also, that Moroccan goalkeeper was so deep in the Netherlands heads that my man learned Dutch to listen to their entire inner monologue.

@btrwkart.bsky.social you have a year to make some shawl pins. Just sayin'.

WIP -- quilted sneakers for the high bidder in the @ourfamilyourfight.bsky.social auction. Took two months for the fabric to be released. Hope to finish up next weekend. FYI, I've offered another custom set in the @romancingthevote.com auction. (Link in comments). Bidding starts July 1st.

Black raspberries not yet available at the Wrightstown Farmer's Market, but there are still straggling raspberries available. Young man working the stall: "You have to eat them fast, they won't last long." Me: "It's possible they won't even make it back to the house."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA<sob>

So pleased that this menopausal suburban white woman who is an equity partner in an AmLaw100 firm can now be the monster under the bed for Dem leadership.

Dinner with friends at Zahav.
