OMW to go take care of sick and hurting folks. If I have anything left in the tank, maybe the rally at the City County building at 7. Take care of yourselves today. Take care of your people. 💕

Thousands of people attended a vigil near the scene of the fatal ICE shooting in Minneapolis on Wednesday. Video by Aaron Lavinsky and Liz Sawyer/The Minnesota Star Tribune. Photos by Elliot Hughes/The Minnesota Star Tribune. Continuing coverage: www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

I don’t even know how to process today by itself, let alone coupled with all of the other crap that’s already happening.

"Allan Block, chairman and CEO of Block Communications, hung up on a TribLive reporter seeking comment Wednesday." The Blocks, continuing their contempt for the same industry from which they made their fortune... triblive.com/business/pit...

BRAVA, Ginny. She speaks for all of us. Read the whole piece. "Don’t for one day for the rest of your time in Pittsburgh believe that we will see you in a restaurant or on the streets and not call out to you. To shame you. To remind you of what you destroyed."

FYI, on the Minneapolis shooting video: Bluesky hasn't taken it down. It's been labeled as "graphic media" so that people can avoid it if they choose. You can change your personal settings on whether you see media labeled as graphic (or whether it appears with a warning) here: bsky.app/moderation

And a month later, the Blocks have the audacity to shut the thing down. Unreal. Just terrible news for local media.

The heck is going on with the PG? #yinz

Back on (mostly) morning shifts. I’ve definitely come to the conclusion I’d rather deal with a dark Parkway East inbound rather than outbound. Have a good one out there, kids!

Robotron 2084 and Discs of Tron

It’s surreal watching a live feed of the Maduros being moved into Manhattan for court and the BBC talking like this is a totally normal and legal thing happening.

Wait, what, it was no good???!!!!? #HereWeGo #ByeByeBirdies 🖤💛

Uuuuuuugh this game is trying to give us a collective heart attack.

I just did another “surgery” on The Circle of Doom. Let’s see if he actually decides to vacuum tomorrow. 🤞

A great quote from our composition program director, for all you writers who think that if you’re not actively writing you’ve lost your basic identity:

Easily the silliest song in my karaoke repertoire 🦊

'Cause America can, and America can't say no And America does If America says it's so It's so And the anchorperson on TV goes La de da de da de-dadedade-da

This is a totally normal way to sit on a cat tree, yeah? #caturday

Being an American feels like getting on a school bus and then your bus driver decides to do a drive by

Call your reps + please read the thread. Do it now, please. Script.

Just looked at my steps at work today: 8.88 miles.

Pittsburgh Regional Transit closes Oakland bus lane after 45 years

Morning.

No cheating, repost with the most recent photo of your pet.

I hope 2026 is the year more people realise that putting into power known sexual predators with a predilection for fascism is something to be, errrrr, questioned at the very least and that it should not be considered an extremist position on the scales of media balance to bring the subject up

My grandmother’s copy of Jane Eyre.

We continue the annual tradition of the children fighting over their cracker trinkets. J got a pen and L got a puzzle game and naturally L wants the pen. J had zero interest in the pen until L wanted it. 😂

I can’t believe it’s been 10 years. I’ve done my best to adapt, moving from FB to Twitter and now Bsky. Love this little project. 🫶🏼

Currently snacking on chopped tomatoes with hickory smoke salt and it is the perfect bite.

Me and my lemon piglet going into the New Year like… #LemonPig

I’ve never preordered a book so fast... @mathildazeller.bsky.social has an Indigenous horror debut, IT LOOKS LIKE YOU IN THE DARK, coming out October 2026!!! I became an instant fan when I read her short story "Kushtuka" in Never Whistle at Night. SO EXCITED! #booksky #indigenous #books

Just what are you trying to tell me, @merriam-webster.com 🤔

Looks to be an insanely soggy #RoseBowlParade this morning

Starting the year by reading “All the Light We Cannot See” by Anthony Doerr.

At 10 am on ⁦‪@MSNOWNews,‬⁩ I’ll discuss Smith transcript. He debunked the claim that Trump was just contesting an election like other presidents. Trump knowingly engaged in fraud and took steps to obstruct the lawful transfer of presidential power. www.ms.now/news/jack-sm...

Just finished Stranger Things. I lost track of how many times it made me cry. I really feel like they knocked the ending out of the park.

Oh my god. The roads in Oakland are TRASH right now. Parkway East is TRASH. 22 is even worse! I have no idea how I got home but it took almost twice as long to do it.

In 2026 I wish you: Health Prosperity Bodily-autonomy Democracy Accountability

East End. Penn Ave - Near Bakery Square. East End wins the first intox driver running from the cops at a high rate of speed and bouncing off multiple things of the night.

Strange things are afoot at the Circle K, I mean Presby. It’s been the absolute weirdest shift ever. I guess 2025 is the gift that keeps on giving to the very end.

Beltzhoover. Climax Street. Caller is a USPS mailman and said someone in a grey Kia just robbed them of their mail bag at gunpoint.

This.

I want to make more silly art, hike like I don’t walk 7-10miles daily at work, add another yoga class to my teaching schedule, and eat more soup.

Omg I was just Rick rolled at work

Working in a hospital is challenging and sometimes scary, but today I helped and I am so relieved.

Currently at the ER with L. We originally thought it was the usual eye allergies, but it’s looking like conjunctivitis. We’ll see what the doctor thinks. 🫤

Yinz, how bad are the roads in the East End?

shocking (not at all)
