what people sound like when they say i asked claude

When this is all over and we’ve had the trials and the sentencing this sacred bit of cardboard should be framed and mounted in the National Gallery of Art

I keep waiting to reach the acceptance stage of my fall/broken foot/surgery situation but I am completely stuck on anger.

wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it

many reasons for not loving crowds are valid, but if you *as an organizer* can't see the value of having thousands of riled-up people in one place for hours, idk what to say. if you don't have a petition ready, or an org for them to join, or an ask that's doable, that's really a you-problem!

Look, I'm a cranky teetotalling socialist, but I've got to say that the Wine Mom stereotype of a vapid, materialistic, politically disengaged woman is misogynistic as hell. Stop being surprised when women with children actually give a fuck about what's going on.

I cannot stress enough how these are PTA moms and soccer coach dads and I can best describe the vibe as “festively bloodthirsty”

"After No Kings, Indivisible, one of the lead organizers of the "No Kings" protest, is pivoting to building support for...May Day Strong. The May Day Strong coalition is calling for "No Work, No School, No Shopping" on May 1st." reporting by @mikeelk.bsky.social paydayreport.com/no-kings-org...

Walking thru the “Ultra Normie” No Kings rally in my extremely rural, white town and there are Patagonia wearing moms carrying signs that say “DEAD PEDOPHILES DONT REOFFEND” and “ICE GETS THE WALL” and I hi fived an old guy with a sign that said MY DADDY FOUGHT NAZIS AND SO WILL I” this is wild

If you're wanting a broad list of reporters on the ground in various parts of the Northwest for No Kings demonstrations, feel free to check out my Northwest News list. It's fairly active today with protest reporting. bsky.app/profile/did:...

The No Kings protest in Portland has begun.

"Music is woven throughout the book, as it is woven through my life..." Alicia Jo Rabins shared a playlist for her memoir, When We're Born We Forget Everything, at Largehearted Boy largeheartedboy.com/2026/03/27/a...

this is criminal when you read all the news about jobs and programs cut throughout the school system.

To defend her false flag theory Hend Amry is now posting a graphic about random Jews around the world lying. In the top left is a really far out claim that Elie Wiesel wasn’t actually a holocaust survivor. Bottom right is just racist caricature drawings. She’s going deep into antisemitism.

Time sensitive: this is the last day to submit comments opposing the Bureau of Land Management's clearcutting of Oregon's ancient forests. This is a tool that educates you on just how diabolical it is, and it helps you submit your comment. morethanjustparks.com/oregon-old-g...

That’s right. I’m a writer, people who feed prompts into plagiarism machines and then put their names on the garbage that comes out are… not.

As someone whose great grandmother was sent to a concentration camp by a Nazi at a border crossing…..to me y’all sound like “at least the Gestapo won’t be dragging people out of their homes, they’re just hanging around train stations, I’ll take it.”

this should surprise absolutely no one. worse, that headline is legitimate. like, it's not a lie. it's not even really misleading. it raises a real concern. Platner and his supporters should be questioned on this issue.

Recovery from surgery is pressing hard on all of my anxiety triggers while also removing my ability to do the things that are most effective for managing my anxiety. Fun times. Boy do you wish you were here with me right now. I’m a goddamn delight. A barrel of super chill monkeys.

Reyna is one of my heroes and mentors. 🥺😭 She lays out so clearly the path toward justice. ✊🏾 Our movements deserve healing, space to grieve, and a new resolve to advance the principles that are the foundation for workers rights and gender justice. 🫶🏾

I opted for a local nerve block and the audiobook of Así empieza lo malo instead of anesthesia for my foot surgery yesterday and 1) it was super interesting to be awake in the OR and 2) two nurses and a doctor are now planning to read Javier Marías for the first time. Win win.

ICE detention deaths are now occurring at a rate of roughly one every four days. Three weeks ago that rate was one every six days. The pace is accelerating, and Congress has not launched a single investigation.

I’ve been feeling deeply sorry for myself over my broken foot, wallowing in it, really. Then today I did a YouTube workout for people with a busted foot and feel a million times better. I regret to inform you that exercise still works for mental health. (Still totally depressed by the world though.)

Here's my bottom line: Much of what they are doing is bad. Much of what they are doing is unpopular. Pushback is working. We are winning. Keep fighting. Be creative. Push for what you'd want. Allow for insiders and outsiders. Realize that change takes time. Reduce harm in the meantime.

This is called kidnapping and it’s a crime. Abolish ICE

They could strip homeless vets of their basic civil rights like this, or they could place them in housing with the wraparound services they need, maintaining their freedom, dignity, and right to choose. When given the option, this administration always goes in the least humane direction possible.

What she said and also the whole thread.

Cari of this past Sunday before 7:30 pm totally took having two unbroken feet for granted. Cari of today has only one unbroken foot and is profoundly cranky about it.

Hello, want me to help you write and publish a book? I currently have a limited number of spaces available for a yearlong one-on-one book mentorship program www.summer-brennan.com/store/one-on...

Someone over on Instagram saying that genAI is bad for art, but can still be used by artists who have trouble visualising their ideas. I had to reply.

Another day, another conversation in which I fail to convince my 82-year-old mother that colloidal silver is 1) toxic and 2) not the reason why she “gets sick less often than other people.”* Dr. Oz has so much to answer for, that fucking quack. *she totally still gets sick.

Today I learned here in Portland teachers are being asked to either take 3 furlough days or cut 170 full time teaching positions. My son is in a blended class of 4/5th graders because they didn’t have enough money for another teacher. Fuck off

okay so this seems pretty clear. he knows what it is, he did it on purpose, he chose keeping it over his career with the Marines, if we know this then Susan Collins will also know it, it will 100% come up in the general, let's be done talking about this guy as a real candidate

The apparent shifts and gaps in our investments reflect the fact that under the old form of government, priorities were dictated by the commissioner in charge — meaning our City hasn’t had a consistent vision for addressing our homelessness and housing affordability crises.

Members of the Oregon Education Association met Friday and Saturday for our PAC Convention and 75% of participants voted not to endorse a gubernatorial candidate. We are sending a message to our electeds and candidates: no longer will you be able to do the bare minimum and get our support.

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

I have no explanation for the sudden stab of nostalgia I just felt remembering the tv guide insert in the Sunday paper.

I need someone to run against Senator Taylor. She hasn't faced a primary in a decade, and you got almost two years to prepare for your campaign. She isn't a formidable candidate. You can beat her! 🫵

Preschool for All addresses an affordability crisis head on, saving families an average of $18,600 per child. Soon thousands more families will save money as we prepare to nearly double seat allocations next school year. Universal tuition-free preschool in Multnomah County is near.

We can't let them. Tell everyone you know to sign: actionnetwork.org/petitions/fu...

A nearly blind Rohingya refugee who spoke no English was abandoned by Border Patrol, and his family was never notified of his release. He is now dead. Border Patrol agents dropped him off at a doughnut shop last Thursday and left him to find his way home, which was 5 miles away.

Don't be fooled by this bill's name-- this is a book banning bill that will exclude LGBTQ books from all public schools NATIONWIDE. Call your congresspeople and tell them to VOTE NO on this nakedly bigoted book banning bullshit. www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

If you haven’t already, you should block organizingpower, an account that posts good leftist content but also thinks antisemites isn’t real.

Hmm. The US is giving $10 billion in taxpayer dollars, not appropriated by Congress, to a fake board set up by the President and which he put himself in charge of *for life*... seems very, very illegal.

Clause 36 in Meatball’s rider says that when he stands up like this we all have to say, “So tall and strong!”
