My beaded progress pride earrings from @cvkvlv.com came today and I loooooooove love love them! And peep my lil jellyfish necklace from @peculiarityshop.bsky.social 🥹

Random but Mothers, need your help, advice and resources. My sister is going to give birth in a few months and I will be helping her and her family out after the fact for a few weeks. I need to be prepared of what to expect and the best ways to help. Good bad and ugly

Can confirm, this is such a delight.

tacky and fashy

If it talks like a Nazi, takes over the govt like a Nazi, is corrupt like a nazi, is driven by eugenics like a Nazi, and decorates like a Nazi…it’s a Nazi.

Wow holy shit www.them.us/story/daught...

Okay, so about the two Rogue and Gambit fans I met randomly as they were checkout girls at the local grocery store. As I said, while I was checking out, a jerk customer yelled at our checker and made her cry. It pissed me off. 1/

CHARLESTON, WV!! Beloved 12 year old cat Joey looking for a home where he can be a single cat. His family loves him dearly but unfortunately his previous owner has passed and he cannot permanently stay with their family. Attached is a Facebook post for more info❤️ www.facebook.com/groups/FreeA...

"Weird Al" Yankovic has always been a real one. Just learned that he very recently turned down "a nice pile of money" to shill for A.I. Damn right he did. @alyankovic.bsky.social www.syracuse.com/entertainmen...

“The US military is racing to vaccinate new recruits after a two-month halt on mandatory flu shots – but it’s a temporary reprieve, as the shots will soon expire &new doses will not be available for months. Officials will need to lean on other prevention measures to contain the growing flu outbreak”

A few years back I helped put together a nomination package for a colleague who was being considered for an award from DAR, and everyone I interacted with at the organization was rad as heck.

“Transgender Americans are patriots, family members, volunteers, historians, and descendants of Revolutionary War ancestors just like anyone else. Excluding or targeting people because of their gender identity contradicts the values of respect, service, and sisterhood that the DAR claims to uphold.”

I implore you. Like things. I don't mean to hit an engagement button on social media sites. I mean enjoy stuff. Don't be beige. Cringe is a manifestation of internal fear and other's condiditoning shame for no reason. It's bs. Be weird.

The KIDS Act [containing KOSA] has passed the House This sucks, but its not the end. It still has to pass through the Senate committee and then be voted on by the Senate itself Please continue contactimg your Senators and demanding they oppose the KIDS Act & KOSA www.congress.gov/members/find...

If Senator Cassidy wants to have a less than infamous legacy he should speak out against RFKJr’s lies, encourage impeachment proceedings against him and legislate against him. But no…he is spineless.

Apparently delaying the Housing Bill because of SAVE wasn’t enough for Republicans, so now they are going to also bigly jam up the military over it.

I fucking hate it so fucking much that every goddamn fucking picture I ever see I have to go “is this real?”

When the selkie returned to the beach, a man was holding her sealskin. "Is this yours?" he asked. "May I borrow it?" "You want to be a seal?" "No, but when I take it off, I'll be a woman, right?" "My heart, you already are," the selkie said. "That skin is mine, but I can help you find yours."

"Could Blazing Saddles be made today?" he mused, flipping through "Incest Saga: The Dragon Years" on HBO and the ninth season of "Tim Allen Vlogs About Women Who Annoy Him" on network TV.

JUST IN: DOJ has lost for the 10th straight time in an effort to obtain states' voter rolls. This defeat is courtesty of Judge Joseph LaPlante, a George W. Bush appointee in New Hampshire. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Donald Trump literally does not care about your cost of living, part one million:

Wish everyone’s had a great Jewel beetle June! I’ve been busy with a big project (will reveal later this year) traveling and moving, but still managed to finish this piece! I just love those living gems, nature is so colorful 💚🌈

Despite their size, mantises aren't afraid of being fierce or looking fabulous. 🏳️‍🌈 #pride #mantis #SciArt #bugsky

This looks like one of those paintings you see in an old Italian church, showing what their village looked like after the bubonic plague swept through Via @joe-lamb.bsky.social / Washpost, at Trump’s Great American state fair

Justice Sotomayor read her dissent from the bench. It reads in part: "Today, this Court undoes centuries of political practice and concludes that all three branches of Government have been acting in open defiance of the Constitution all this time. Its conclusion is wrong."

I love how Flavor Flav has become the hype man for women’s sports. ⏰ This piece from @forbes.com captures what @flavorflav.bsky.social and his manager @audrhi.bsky.social are up to with SHE Weekend. ⛹️‍♀️🏋️‍♀️🏌️‍♀️🚴‍♀️ They are doing good things in the world. 🌎 We need more of that.

L - Karoline Leavitt 6 days ago. R - Trump today.

There is no excuse for Bill Cassidy voting to confirm RFK Jr. and convincing others to do so. Tens of thousands of expert healthcare professionals and scientists opposed this, and he ignored us because he thought it would benefit him. Now he wants to wash his hands. But we will NEVER forget.

Q: What are your plans for the housing affordability bill? Trump: I don't know. It's so unimportant

Donald Trump thinks bringing down Americans' housing costs is "so unimportant."

Trump: "The Reflecting Pool, which suffered great damage due to the Vandals & Radical Left SCUM, has been in full operation. It looks beautiful! After July 4, we will release the water, fix damage done to the very expensive waterproof matting, including the 350 foot gash ..."

If someone has the audacity to assert that ice cream "isn't a healthy way" to counteract the summer heat, then it's perfectly acceptable to politely remove them from your circle of friends.

President Biden on Trump: "Woah, what a loser." At an event for Maryland Democrats, Biden said: "The reflecting pool reflects something even worse than the narcissism and incompetence at the core of this administration. It's the corruption, the corruption, the brazen, blatant corruption."

NEW: For nearly a decade, Republicans and @marcelias.bsky.social have battled over whether mail ballots postmarked by Election Day but received after should count. But today, SCOTUS rejected the GOP's scheme to disenfranchise mail voters. And today, we should all celebrate because democracy won.
