@democrats.org are fucking fools and absolute cowards. It’s a (literal) deadly combination — people who can’t afford health insurance aren’t going to get healthcare when they need it.

Instead of targeting Schumer directly maybe target the people underpinning his support. This is a list of Senators up for re-election next year (I have not fact checked at all, I'm tipsy googling) centerforpoliticalawareness.com/us-senator-s...

Constituent here, thank you for this. Now start the work to remove Schumer from leadership. A nation is begging you.

Watching a video of a man trying to teach an octopus to play piano. It’s utterly ridiculous and useless and it’s the BEST THING EVER

Oh this is GOOD

I think I found the best dog park?

So, if you need a kids coat it's the weekend to do it. There are coats for $25 online at Macys in name brands. A lot of websites are doing 60% off Consider buying several and giving them to a coat drive if you can. You won't regret it. I got A and K coats for about $30 on sale on Amazon

Seattle's mayoral race will end up quite close; that could make 'challenged' ballots that had some issue key to resolving the race. WA allows voters to "cure" their ballot, i.e. come in and explain or fix issues like forgetting a signature. (Not all states allow this.) Info from the county:

“There is no house in this country worth owning at $1,500 mortgage.” Am I having a stroke or is it actually possible to have a mortgage payment lower than $1,500? Our 2 bed, 2 bath is $1,786 — with a 2.6% interest rate and 30% down payment.

Oregonians: Spread the word. From what I’ve seen this morning, the only way some folks are learning that their benefits have come has been by others posting it on social media.

Do you know anyone who would like to buy a ticket to see Hamilton (w Leslie Odom Jr.) at 1pm on November 12 for $259? No markup on the price, seat on the floor (off to the side). (bc of the government shut down/cancelled flight, our friend who was going to join us, can’t)

I wish women had as much power as the He-Man Woman-Haters Club members believe.

Going to read this thread every day until it becomes part of my default.

Everything about Trump is trying to compensate for his deep, deep well of insecurities. I imagine his internal monologue is 99% screaming about how he’s not rich, strong, or lovable. What a wretched existence.

After four weeks of having an additional dog, PT appointments, and strength training exercises at home to supplement PT I very begrudgingly admit that regularly moving your body makes a significant difference physically and emotionally. Damnit.

What is conservative feminism? Wrong answers only.

I’m going to laugh about this for DAYS.

There's lot of challenged ballots in Seattle. Challenged ballots disproportionately skew younger with over half from people under age 45.

There’s actual, big thunder and lightning in the PNW right now. My raised in the midwest heart was starving and is so happy.

He’s right! NYC deserves people who will work toward making the city affordable and safer for all its citizens…which is what Mamdani plans to do with his talking points, you greedy scumbag.

The dogs have so thoroughly worn each other out that 75% of their play looks like this now. Laying down on the couch, moving their necks/heads, and chewing on the other’s jaw.

Welp, now I’m crying.

Pulling out the good bourbon for this one.

🎉🎉🎉

It has been 12 minutes wth is taking so long

Damnit Minneapolis. Who in that city actually likes Frey?

He’s so damn good at this.

May Democratic leadership get over themselves and get the fuck on board. Starting with @schumer.senate.gov.

N.K. Jemisin knew.

Cheney dies AND Mamdani wins? This day is too good to be true.

Let's fucking go

While we wait for elections results please enjoy this video of a child who won Halloween in 2025.

Can't denounce racism when you yourself are Islamophobic. That's the bottom line re: both Gillibrand, Schumer and many other Democrats.

So many things are bad but can we take a moment to appreciate that an openly gay man can be named the sexiest man alive by a mainstream publication? Wouldn’t have been conceivable even 10 years ago.

Had a dream last night that I was in Russia. When I told someone I didn’t speak Russian and couldn’t understand…subtitles appeared. They stayed on for the rest of the dream.

New PT was super sweet and approachable. She was also of her father who is obviously Satan. I’m going to be so sore tomorrow.

One of the people I had the privilege of not voting for pledged to remove fluoride from the county water and make English the official county language. Another promised to fight for single family neighborhoods, reject efforts to normalize drug use, and reinstate school resource officers.

Ugh, the vet is using an AI transcriber. I suppose that’s less bad than human healthcare providers workers using it but still, ick.

You know who else are residents of Seattle? The people who live in the tents, you heartless asshole.

Listening to a good book that has two readers. One is great, the other makes me want to gouge out my eyes.

Going to try walking both dogs at the same time by myself. May the gods have mercy on my soul (and nerves).

Two more! There’s three pieces of candy left because I definitely snacked earlier so…

Started a whodunit show. Dylan Baker is in the first episode so the reveal is already spoiled.

Ace has been getting harassed for months for being a good human who looks after the community and this situation is fucking bullshit!!

Just got our first trick or treaters EVER in this house! Buying a bag of candy for the last 6 years has been fully and completely justified. 😂

FYI Washington folks - at this point the best way to vote is to take your ballot directly to a drop box!

Dreaming: A rideshare company that owns and insures its own cars, pays living wages with benefits, and has an understandable pricing structure for its services. Pricing would probably would need to be adjusted by location (charging by mile in urban spaces wouldn’t work for more rural spaces).

What words have you resigned yourself to letting autocorrect spell for you? Discovered in the last three days that one of my mine is diarrhea. Terrible, horrible, no good, very bad discovery to make.

Every so often my therapist and I have a shared “we are VERY different people” moment. A common one is “have you watched — oh right, you don’t watch tv, you have no idea what I’m talking about.”

“My wife is going to Hell but that’s her choice so I’m not bothered.” Vance chooses cowardice at every possible turn. He won’t even live in accordance with his beliefs.* *Which in this case is a good thing but STILL
