*sings to herself “I had a bad night, but today’s a new day, and yes I feel shit, but don’t mean that has to stay”. Tries to prance across to the kettle to make a coffee*

There’s definitely something wrong with settings they changed on my BiPAP machine. I was up to stopping breathing approx 17 times per hr and I feel it was sucking life out of me. I need to call my pulmonologist tomorrow. I can’t not use it as without it, I’ve been recorded as having 32 stops per hr

I see this, I see China (was it) with the floating solar panel stations in the sea, and I look to the USA and its leaders pulling out of the Paris agreement and screaming drill baby drill 😔

My 83 year old mum taught the local scouts how to knit one evening, and she’s spent the last week stitching their efforts into this blanket, which I think is chaotically brilliant.

KARL: Rs are gonna make you the poster child for the D Party MAMDANI: Let them. We don't have to ask ourselves what life looks like if a socialist wins. I won last year & over the course of the last 6 months what we've delivered for working people are the very things we were told were impossible.

Tijuana 4:00 am last night :the Iranian Soccer team arrives. This is the most shameful #WarCup in history. They have had no recovery after matches, immediate flights to the airport,management/logistics staff denied visas. Shame on America. Shame on FIFA #WorldCup2026

FIFA and the U.S. thought that by humiliating  Iran in the World Cup and making their logistics difficult, would turn the world against them. Instead, the amount of support they received throughout this tournament is unprecedented. They represented their country with dignity and humility. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Welcome to the Great American State Fair

When media tried to make the presser about Pride in Seattle.. Iranian team's captain diverted the conversation back to football after stating that they respect everyone.

I am so proud to call Seattle my home. Finally the world has noticed, we are an inclusive community. Tomorrow we have the Seattle Pride Parade and we can't wait to celebrate with everyone. Thank you to all who have welcomed the world to our city with joy & respect. Enjoy Pride Day Seattle. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

I'm Canadian & find the glum 250 sad. I've loved America for being the first nation founded not on mere geography or on ethnicity, or religion, but on principles of liberty & equality. Though progress toward living those fully has been in fits & starts, it is a noble endeavour. Oh, & fuck Trump.

I remember in 1976 it was a huge deal. There were celebrations everywhere!

I lived in Philly in 1976 too. We all went to a big block party on July 4th. Great fun!

We wanted to amplify this because it’s genuinely sad that this isn’t how America’s 250th birthday is unfolding. America’s 250th birthday should have been about bringing people together through our shared culture, history, music, art, and traditions.

It should have been a celebration that reminded us of everything that connects us as a nation a moment to showcase the incredible diversity and creativity of the American people. That would have been a celebration worthy of this historic milestone.

Winner of the Granny Square competition. Theme was recyclex and this is made from teabag strings. #crochetconvention2026 #FibreArt #yarn

Mamdani just showed up at Penn Station, wristbands in hand, helping World Cup fans find their trains like it was nothing. Panama vs England, MetLife bound, and the mayor was just out there in the crowd. No big deal. Very big deal.

A Los Angeles restaurant worker with a valid work permit was followed by ICE into her workplace. The manager used PAXIS.app to identify the kitchen as a non-public area, told agents they could not enter without consent, asked for a judicial warrant refused access, and requested that they leave.

Big brother made sure to give his sister the ball, thrown by her favorite player (Jake Mangum of the Bucs). She was wearing his jersey at the time and Jake said it was the first time he saw his jersey in the wild.

The rain on the FIFA match drone 😂

I’d thought about double screening #ENGvPAN and #GHAvCRO because if Scotland go out then I become British 😉 but the Scot in me also wants the England men’s team to trip up 😄 But I also need Ghana to beat Croatia to help out Scotland. If anyone needs me, I’ll be pacing up and down behind the sofa

Something went wrong with pressure settings on my BiPAP machine last night, they should be 12/8 but after me stopping breathing approx 23 times an hour (I’m usually about 7 with machine) I looked and it’s reset to 5/16. Makes me realise how necessary my machine is, because I feel bloody awful today

I would read letters like Emily’s every night in the White House. They were powerful reminders of why the work we did mattered, and who we were fighting for.

Got up early (for me) because I thought the England match was at 10…. And it is, if I lived in the UK, 10pm not 10am…. And here it’s 2pm and there aren’t any morning matches. But my cats say I’m not allowed to back to bed, there’s stroking to be done

All love between Haaland and Cherki before today’s matchup 🩵

This is my favorite Erling Haaland factoid 👑 📜

The resilience of this Iranian football team given what they have been subjected to in this #worldcup is nothing short of incredible. Just sheer persistence and resilience.

Mehdi Taremi of Iran with a very honest answer when asked about having to fly back to Tijuana tonight after their match against #Egypt . Iran had hoped to stay in Seattle overnight. #FifaWorldCup #Iran  #WorldCup

(Quietly mumbles that Culvers IS pretty expensive but then I buy kids meals to keep the cost down and even then I only allow myself one takeout a fortnight. Wendy’s and Raising Canes are my go to cheap but ok. Wendy’s does Jr burgers. I love Culvers Atlantic cod and cheese curds, but it is pricey)

Imagine if Iran got to prepare under the same rules that the other 47 teams do.

Ever feel like it’s not the people that are the problem, it’s the politics? www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8GRJrrP/hh

I’m late to watching Egypt vs Iran - have there been plenty of pride flags in the stands?

All done. The anticipation is usually worse than the appointment.

This 1679 “Sabionari” Stradivarius is the only playable guitar by Antonio Stradivari left in this world.🤗 So take just a moment to hear a sound that’s well over 300 years old! @55SweetThing #globalmuseum #music #guitar #Stradivarius

You know in science fiction movies where you have a humanoid robot who when every thing gets too overwhelming, they just shut down and sort of faint, usually mid-sentence. That’s me. Sitting in a white consulting room, swinging my feet like a 5 year old and all I want to do now is take a nap 😂

Aahhhhh I want to run away. I always want to run away at some point during these appointments because she always runs late (not a criticism) as she’s based in a specialist cancer hospital and I’m not a priory. But I wants to scram, skidaddle, scarper

Why are appointments with my Hematologist the ones I fear the most? It was my heart that really tried to kill me. I suppose my blood is everywhere and could be up to things anywhere *waiting room ponderings*

10s of people attend Trump's Great American State Fair on the National Mall

i don't think the great state fair thing has been all that well publicized and have been trying to find out more about it myself--but ... the arch is going to make an appearance I guess lol

CHAT I AM SCREAMING

Ahh here’s my answer, Seattle’s local organizing committee is separate from FIFA. I knew it couldn’t be FIFA temporarily coming over from the dark side

Someone explain FIFA’s motives about saying no to Iran and Egypt and allowing pride flags at the match tonight. I know it’s Seattle but it’s in a nation where the administration is not favourable of LGBTQ+ rights, and despite massive protests they allowed the WC to happen in Qatar. And advertisers..

Stephen Miller and the Trump administration want to lock up people with disabilities so they don’t have to see them. It’s still stunning to me how many people in this country simply close their eyes to fascism, or actively support it.

Got a call from the AZ sec of State Address Confidentiality Program, that I’m a part of to keep my real address safe from my ex and all the internet creeps he doxxed me to including those he signed over “ownership” to. USPS have been returning mail to them - obv. that’s triggered my flight or freeze

Norway fans taught Senegal fans the “Viking Row” after their teams played a match against each other.

I couldn’t sleep so made the self-destructive mistake of logging into TikTok and the algorithm wants me to be in a permanent state of fear so fed me a supply of prepper videos and stuff about the grid going down and medication shortages, and I have no idea what’s real anymore
