A cooking website I reference often leans way too heavily on clickbait headlines like, "I Can't Stop Making This Easy Fettuccine Alfredo." I'm so sorry for them. I picture one poor reporter, disheveled and dehydrated, surrounded by piles of pasta. Can't stop moving. Always stirring. Never eating.

"WE MAKE NEWS LOUDER. IF STORY GOOD ON ONE SIDE, SHOW OTHER SIDE TOO. OTHER SIDE WRONG? OTHER SIDE WANT BLEACH IN VEINS? ANIMAL RUN BOTH. REPORT BOTH SIDES. EVEN WHEN ONE SIDE THINK HEAD MEDS MAKE QUIET BABIES."

Trans rights are human rights.

The problem with allowing guns everywhere is that no one is safe anywhere.

All that tactical gear - they must have thought he had, like, six or seven sandwiches in there!

Ok, I'm in. One like = one time I look at my phone after it vibrates and think, "Oh, it's not a text. Just a Bluesky notification. Carry on then."

Everyone should go listen to the Lost Patients podcast right now. Incredible reporting by @willjames.bsky.social and @sydbrownstone.bsky.social that lays out how we got here and what we can expect if this comes to pass. www.npr.org/podcasts/510...

This is excellent stuff. Looking forward to adopting the author's technique when my girls start being exposed to influencers.

I love my trans brothers and sisters and siblings more fiercely than ever today. I see you, I celebrate you, and I will fight for you.

One of the things they don't tell you about being a parent is how many of your waking hours you'll spend washing water bottles.

There is not a single congressional district in the U.S. where more than 15% of voters support cuts to SNAP, the federal program that provides food assistance to millions of low-income Americans.

When Arkansas implemented Medicaid work requirements, 18,000 people lost health care in 7 months — and there were no significant employment changes. If Republicans do this nationwide, 36 million Americans could lose health care. Work requirements are CUTS for people who often cannot work.

I'm having a PEP(per) RALLY! First friend to grow a fruit wins a prize! 🧪

It is a universal truth that whenever the child care program sends a picture of the whole class, it will invariably be your child who is picking their nose.

I am every day more convinced that being a billionaire is evidence of moral vacancy.

Good news! We don't need feminism anymore because Katy Perry went to space for 11 minutes! We did it, girlbosses!

Gratitude for the chips getting me through this week: chocolate and tortilla

Babe, wake up, new Welfare Queen just dropped

Things are...you know. But on the bright side, I've learned how to make a really fantastic egg and cheese sandwich.

The sun came out, so I did the Seattle thing and dropped everything I was doing to move all of my houseplants into the sunbeams.

Boosting this!!

I wrote a short blog post about the tragedy currently unfolding in the evaluation industry. Trump is destroying vital research capacity and decades of instructional knowledge for pocket change. 1/x rooseveltinstitute.org/blog/the-irr...

A lot of the inefficiencies in government come from efforts to make it *leaner*: micromanaging workers in the name of eliminating waste, withholding the perks and salaries that they could expect at an equivalent private sector job, etc

New baking achievement unlocked. French #macaron with chocolate ganache.

With the very public and chaotic gutting of our federal workforce, I'm fairly certain our country has never looked weaker to our adversaries.

Oh yes, Homer’s famous “Tes Thdpssssps.” 👍🏻

I dunno...I'm beginning to think I was misled about how long it takes to turn a battleship.

"We're doing science. Because we're moms." - my 3.5-year-old daughter, describing the game she's playing with her sister. Yes.

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

Social work friends and followers: I'll be at #SSWR later this week - let me know if you will too!

Serious question: Does DOGE exist? It's not a government agency. Has it been established as a nonprofit? An LLC? A lobbying firm? An entity of any kind at all?

every tech company in 2025

Could not be more excited to start the new year by baking and icing these beauties tomorrow morning #breadsky

Jail. Straight to jail.

Cat Clinging To Side Of Christmas Tree Admits That Was Extent Of Plan theonion.com/cat-clinging...

Another great affirmation from my 3YO chaos muppet: "My dancings are beautiful!"

This weekend's project? Stollen for Christmas breakfast with the in-laws. The recipe made two loaves, so I was able to cut into one for quality control. #breadsky

My first attempt at chocolate babka. Quite good. Next time I'll try to make it swirlier. #breadsky

Did you know The Bell Jar, The Handmaid's Tale, The Feminine Mystique, and more all appeared on Sesame Street in the 90s? The @muppetwiki.bsky.social team finally created a page for my favorite little-known running gag: Prairie Dawn's Feminist Literature collection muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Prairie...

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s

Impact

Hell yeah. Proud to live here today.

Nation’s Women Fantasize About Some Future Election That Isn’t Absolutely Pivotal To Their Well-Being theonion.com/nation-s-wom...

If you're still online to go insane today, STAY ONLINE. If you stay online until 8pm, they HAVE to let you go insane.

the other thing is that the future is unknowable. there is nothing on the ground that is forcing us to doom and gloom. this is a tight race. it was always going to be a tight race. have faith that you’ll succeed!

The last two weeks before an election are just everyone gathered around a sheep's entrails screaming at each other over what it might all mean

To calm my anxieties, I come, loaf in hand, to #breadsky. This is a quinoa and flax loaf with 40% whole wheat four. Lovely toasted with a bit of nut butter and sliced banana.
