back at the ice rink to warm up for an hour

hey by the way if you want to be fucked up for the rest of the day, I saw a statistic once that the number of gay men in Florida who died of AIDS was something like 10x or 20x the number of Florida votes the 2000 election was decided by we don't know what world we'd be living in if they were here

GM: Charisma check. Mamdani: [rolls natural 20] GM: that’s a d6 how did you Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

Defund the CIA and use the money to make more Muppet retellings of classic literature

I eventually realized it’s not what this is actually about but my brain spent a solid three minutes imagining an octopus driving a tractor. an octopus shearing a sheep. an octopus gathering eggs

No more school lunch debt for anyone anywhere. All the Lego sets (YES ALL). Get my brother his own art studio. So many patreons. Wheelbarrows of cash for cat rescues and food banks. Massive library expansions. Fund the shit out of the PTA so all the kids get school supplies and dope field trips.

It's not just the women and girls we know of. It's all their future work, and everything they could have been, and how we build structures that shelter their abusers. It's how a man's future has always been worth more than my past, present, and future combined.

Me: And I noticed at the most troublesome times in my life there was only one set of footprints God: My precious, precious child, that is when I was off riding the dinosaur. Honestly couldn’t stand your whining any more bsky.app/profile/exti...

Today my kid’s class was scheduled to teach a bunch of younger students about the solar system. Kiddo dressed carefully in a collared shirt, tie, and sweater because he wanted to “be like Mr. Rogers” 🥹

Sorry, I can't come into the office because my cat would be sad.

“Did they grow up under a rock??” Yes. And the rock was probably put there on purpose by men who wanted uneducated people to control. This is why we don’t leave any state or county or town behind. Nobody deserves to grow up under a rock. Especially one they would never have the power to move.

I started to say NOT NOW ENTITY but honestly? Go ham, eat some ICE goons, have a good time sweetie let me know if you’ll be out past midnight

One of my relatives was fleeing an abusive spouse. She married again after getting to the US and we’re pretty sure her original husband was still alive at that point, but he was dead to her and that was apparently good enough

Dem leadership: changing this is a difficult process, you fool. You rube. You utter infant. Give us between $5 and $50 Mamdani, wiping grease off his hands: So it turns out there's a switch on this machine that puts it into either orphan-shredding mode or free school lunch mode. Just had to flip it

Jimmy’s came up in the group chat this morning. The phrase “I couldn’t make you a milkshake even if I wanted to” lives on

Wild that there was an open lane called "what if we just explain things clearly to people?" and he's the first one to ever fill it

what it’s like to be overstimulated all the goddamn time

Will SOMEONE in this godforsaken Congress actually take their oath to protect and defend the United States constitution with the same degree of seriousness as every person in Minneapolis?

I don’t think we should make concessions to the Masked Murderers Guild of America. I don’t think we should compromise so the Masked Murderers Guild of America stops using kidnapped kids from schools as bait. I thought this was already illegal. The Masked Murderers Guild of America should not exist.

i'm being flip but when i think about the guys who are gassing preschools and putting children in camps and killing people both on and off camera--complaining about WHISTLES--i understand why dante was like no, we need way more kinds of hell. at least nine

pining for his lost love (ham)

BTW when I say abolish ICE, I mean abolish it entirely and replace it with exactly nothing. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. That's it.

He coulda been any number of things. He could have been unemployed and eaten goober grape straight from the jar off a shoehorn. He didn't deserve that. No one does. No one being harmed by ICE deserves what is happening to them. NO ONE.

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

at the kiddo’s skating lesson. wild when being in a giant room filled with ice is still warmer than outside by a significant margin

2026: the year so bad that even the Third Amendment is suddenly relevant

I would argue that the case for dismantling ICE has, at this point, virtually nothing to do with larger questions of immigration enforcement and reform, it's just clearly incompatible with a free and democratic society to maintain a secret police force with sweeping and arbitrary authority.

if you’re in line to hate AI, STAY IN LINE!

Food at Fisher’s Station in Victor, NY. Tiny converted house with only like 10 tables and stupid hours, but if you lucked into when they were open it was the best breakfast in the world. Even the toast was incredible - bread made in-house served with homemade strawberry jam

new evergreen post just dropped

I don’t follow football but I live in western NY so the homer simpson vibes are running high right now

“if you don’t skate you’re not going to Target” may be the most bougie sentence I’ve ever heard in my life

It exposes directional alignment; you still seek to limit, not expand, who is allowed to be human. Yes, you have set your limitation more inclusively than our fascist gang of white supremacists; it doesn't mean you're not also setting limitations & they'll use your limit as long as it serves them.

it is true that donald trump is very unpopular, and almost everyone outside his hardcore base hates what's going on right now but what that hardcore base is willing to support is extremely disturbing and I'm not a fan of sharing the country with a lot of these folks

THE HUMAN BRAIN: so we’re going to need between seven and nine hours of sleep every night in order to function HUMANS: okay THE HUMAN BRAIN: and I’m gonna do everything in my power to make sure we never, ever get it.

post a game you remember playing that nobody else remembers everyone else was allowed to forget this terrible game but I apparently offended god because I still get the music stuck in my head 35 years later

Good week for a reminder about the confederate battle flag Minnesota refuses to return to the south

My brain every time Greenland is mentioned, regardless of context.

“Are there no prisons? Are there no workhouses?”

Democrats need to understand that they can just say “It’s insane to threaten Greenland” and “I don’t think ICE should murder Americans in the street” and you don’t need to pretend to link it to the affordability crisis. Say bad things are bad.

my dumb insomnia brain: HEY. HEY DID YOU REALIZE. TZATZIKI SAUCE IS JUST PICKLE-FLAVORED YOGURT me trying to sleep at 3:30am like a normal person: for the love of god just shut the fuck up I am begging you

when it snows one of our cats becomes a majestic arctic creature and the other becomes a shivering dickensian waif. please mother I must huddle against your face for warmth. fill my bowl else I shall surely perish

put a package of barley in my grocery cart and my kid started singing “we’re Barley and Barley, ooooOOOoooOoO” so I guess I’m doing something right with this parenting thing

I don’t know what moment Chuck Schumer is made for, but it sure as shit isn’t this one.

Just making sure that 2025 is definitely over

NOT EVERYTHING THAT COMES IN A CAN IS TUNA I yell as I try to defend my baked beans from feline assault

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

Incredible entry in a thread about snake handlers. Big Sister Michael energy

managed to give myself a paper cut on the edge of some wrapping paper but at least I got to eat some christmas cookies
