This looks pretty rough, but now that I’ve learned how to do some stained glass, you’d better believe my pro-craft-ination habits are gonna rise to an entirely new level

East Madison salutes the troops 🫡

Things that make me feel like my mother that I should probably unpack in therapy: - buying too many throw pillows - fussing over curtains - yelling at AI assistants on the phone because I just want to speak to a real goddamn person

*bwah bwah da ba da bwah bwah* Let’s go girls

Madison is so beautiful in April 🥰

Presumably Slotkin thinks the CIA and NSA should just surveil *everyone* to avoid partisan bias.

couldn't sleep. my body knows, deep down, that Tottenham Hotspur plays today

Lmao what do you mean CNN reported Madison might see GRAPEFRUIT-SIZED HAIL tonight. Brb gotta reschedule my Safelite visit to fix things after Tuesday’s storm

I am not, it turns out, too blessed to be stressed.

Fun fact: sometimes the day after a $450 emergency vet visit, baseball-sized hail will fall in your neighborhood and you’ll also need to pay a $250 deductible for a new front windshield

Laika decided to eat a little (thankfully organic!) vegetable fertilizer yesterday and wound up at the emergency vet from 2-5:30am, where they gave her an antiemetic and pumped her with so many IV fluids she momentarily had a hunchback.

Tornado warning *and* an emergency vet visit all in one night.

Hmm well sure the citywide tornado siren just went off, but I mean I’m two blocks south of the warning zone soooo

To be fair, Trump thinking someone clearly dressed as Jesus is actually a doctor *would* explain why he claims to continue passing his cognitive exams. That’s not a physician, buddy, that’s the afterlife coming for you.

If you had told me in 2011 that fifteen years later, President Donald Trump and a Pope from Chicago who’s a White Sox fan would be beefing over a war with Iran, I either wouldn’t have believed you or, if I had, I would have filled my pockets with rocks and waded out into the ocean.

the passive voice store was visited by me and you were known by everybody there

he's counting on people not knowing what a doctor looks like because they don't have healthcare

Current status of the Strait of Hormuz dispute

👊🇺🇸🔥

The JD Vance endorsement never fails to deliver good news (for the other candidate) 🤌🏻🤌🏻

Have been bummed to not have much of a yard (only a gravel driveway) the past few years, so I built a privacy wall/planter box to close off the end of it for a little sitting area!

I love Madison (the entire dive bar shouted “fuck you!!” when Trump came on the tv at a UFC match)

i firmly believe that kennedy wants preventable diseases to rip through american communities since, in his warped mind, those who survive without vaccines will have proven themselves “healthy.”

Made some bagels!

To all who celebrate

If you’re ever unconvinced that we have a serious illiteracy problem in this country, just check out the comments on a NYT Cooking recipe.

On the bright side, half the people he’s accusing of having “low IQs” are white men. That’s progress!

Always exciting to see the Avignon Papacy in the news

with chicago pope it's italian beefing

Let’s fucking gooooooooo

everything we are seeing now is the consequence of having a political environment in which indifference to the deaths and suffering of other people - even by the state whose supposed responsibility is to safeguard their welfare - is a superpower rather than a political liability

A nuclear armed United States is now an existential threat to the rest of the world

International genocide scholars: “he just… tweeted it out…”

conservative pundits, GOP apparatchiks and their various enablers spend 10 years insisting that racism is marginal to trump and trumpism trump:

One thing about me is that I will never say no to trying a pickle-flavored novelty item

“Create a 12 month income experience” is an insane way to say “would you like to actually be paid year round for your year-round job?”

We may not be the best team in the bowling league, but we sure are the most fashionable

One day, "It" will happen, by which I mean sudden and unexpected news that you want to celebrate. In such cases, you will want the right outfit. 🧵

Wow, not even in space can you escape the scourge of Outlook

Just in time for the easter break: announcing the (re)launch of the RMA Podcast! The first episode is now available on the RMA site, featuring Prof. Pauline Fairclough talking about her recent book on Shostakovich's 'Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District' www.rma.ac.uk/podcast/paul...

Someone sent me this.

The death of a nearly blind refugee from Myanmar who was found on a Buffalo street in February — five days after Border Patrol agents left him at a doughnut shop — has been ruled a homicide, authorities said Wednesday. https://to.pbs.org/3NZGHsz

The rational part of my brain completely understands the context in and mechanisms by which it happened, but the lizard part of my brain is still, from time to time, totally mystified that this stupid malevolent fuck became president.

Catching up on SCOTUS arguments from this morning and it’s genuinely astonishing that the government seemed surprised that Gorsuch asked a question about indigenous rights. Like, my brother in christ, how truly incompetent can you be.

Pretending I’m a straight white 30-something dude (doing a podcast interview)

Yes, the F-35s from the local Air National Guard are annoyingly (at times unhealthily) loud when they do their exercises, but these days I’m actually pleased to hear them because it means they haven’t surreptitiously been deployed to Iran…

literal sewer socialism let's fucking go

Not gonna lie, my entire mental well-being was riding on this focaccia coming out perfect and I gotta say, it’s a bright, beautiful day

Made a coffee filter holder out of cherry (with walnut splines) so I don’t have to look at the cardboard box anymore!
