Learned a new phrase today that helped me understand both why #MAGA weirdos are so #angry and why it seems like there are more ring-wing zealots than ever (even though there aren't), while also giving me more conviction in the progressive direction.

Folks, I give you Representative Ayanna Soyini Pressley of the great state of Massachusetts 🔥 This is what I've been waiting for - someone to step up, step out onto the pavement, and sing on behalf of the people. #blackhistoryisamericanhistory youtu.be/MMj76__SEYs?...

I saw a multi-pack of cookie dough Ben & Jerry's at Costco the other day and thought, "Well, protest purchase inception it is, I guess..."

At some point we’ve become so used to over convenience that we’re willing to give up our principles for it.

The end to Mindless Consumerism has come. Target your consumer $$$. (pun intended)

Because we were already suffering from an over-abundance of drug data about women and minorities in this country... www.reuters.com/business/hea...

Idk much about astrology and retrogrades and planet phases but I'm pretty sure the one bumming you out is earth. It's earth.

"WREXHAM AFC's plans to re-design the Kop stand will soon progress to the next step... The objective remains for the Stand to be completed in time for the UEFA European Under-19 Championship final tournament that is being hosted in Wales in the summer of 2026." www.leaderlive.co.uk/news/2485772...

I guess I have to learn about Retinol now

The Sunday Scaries are REAL

Chivalry is 'courage, honor, courtesy, justice, and a readiness to help the weak'. Don't assume a woman is weak/doesn't know what she's doing. Be courteous by asking if she needs help but if she says she's fine, she's fine. Anything more and you've crossed the line from being chivalrous to sexist.

Starbucks is yucky. The only things I've ever gotten there that were palatable were non-coffee items. I got a Starbucks gift card from a well-meaning co-worker who knows I like coffee. First time i ever threw a gift card straight into the trash.

This holiday has gone from an evening and morning of dealing with family to dinner here, lunch there, a party next day, breakfast another day... I've got one more day of this holiday to go. Next year, I'm gonna be out of town. So tired

Pro tip: Before you dive into the new season of Queer Eye, invest in a box or two of the tissues with lotion and aloe...

Guys, here's why women always have three drinks with them: the 1st is for survival (water), the 2nd is for sanity (something caffeinated), and the 3rd is for joy. Sometimes, the 2nd and 3rd are combined. The 3rd is the one you want to get her if you need brownie points. Learn the 3rd.

I know elevator etiquette allows us all to stare at the wall in silence, but my anxiety always compels me to say something silly like, "These buttons look cool" or "Look at the ceiling in here, isn't it nice?"

Sunday puppy naps 😴 😌

“Essentially, coffee influences the receptors in the brain by making them more open to happiness messengers.” I can always use more happiness messengers... 😊 ☕️ www.cambridge-news.co.uk/news/health/...

Ever wondered why walking around museums is weirdly tiring? At normal speed our legs act like pendulums, swinging forward from the hip & saving us a huge amount of energy. In "museum shuffle" our muscles must do ALL the work of constant readjustment. So cake in the cafe is scientifically justified 🥳

nothing bruises my ego more than when a game asks me if I'd like to try again on a lower difficulty.

Let's normalize not sharing memes and quote pics that have typos and grammatical errors

Holy crap, I need coffee NOW ☕️

‪Is "enthusiastically" an appropriate answer when someone asks how I take my coffee?‬

So apparently it's not "meh-na-meh-na" it's "phenomena". What?!

I think one of the most annoying things about being a football player has got to be the whistle screeching after every play 🏈 🙉

Parentified daughter trying to heal affirmation: "I'm not selfish, I'm self-focused."

Cat floof. Apparently my kitty likes the smell of her own feet

I told my friend I don’t even know the point of doing research anymore with our incoming administration. She tells me research is more important than ever right now. How can I think like my friend and get that motivation…

Back to work tomorrow. Sunday scaries are at maximum scary 😨

"Why is it that the most devastating quotes to hear as an adult come from kids movies?..." 😭 @ohhthatsrich.bsky.social

To anyone who is considering buying Baldur’s Gate while the sales are going on: the answer is yes

My good karma thing I do this time of year is I deliberately drive past the closest parking space I find at a store, and leave it for the next person, because I can walk a little farther. Except at Costco. That place is survival of the meanest.

Oh crap. Tomorrow is December... 😬

I'm rewatching Virgin River on Netflix. It makes me think about a simpler life away from the city and if I could ever pull it off. I wonder if I'm too old to start over, though

Mute, report, block!

I never get tired of latte art. I think it's because I can't do it, so it's kinda magical. Let's gooo espresso! ☕️ ✨️

I had so many good intentions for my holiday weekend. Now it's just regular weekend and I'm still tired.

Word of the day is "sealioning". I don't run into it here so much. Here's hoping we can keep it that way for a while.

I'm taking recommendations for books to check out! Smaller authors preferred.

Go Lions! 🦁 🏈

I'm thankful for jammies all day!

Yay! Pear buttermilk pie. The edges got a little toasty, but it looks pretty good overall.

Rolls. I want all the rolls.

I have this idea for a streaming service feature where you can make a custom playlist of episodes rather than a whole series. Mine would have all of the Simpsons Halloween specials, the Bob's Burgers Christmas episodes, and Rick & Morty seasons 2-4.

They rearranged my local grocery store. Why is this happening to me? 😓

I've officially reached the age where my doctor is younger than me. 😆

I don't pretend to know the science behind it, but it's beyond dispute that coffee and tea taste at least 63% better when you're drinking them from your most cherished mug.

Surround yourself with the kind of people who make small talk with stray animals.

Ya'all... I finally found a song that explains what I do on the weekends. 🪴 🎶 youtu.be/mePj_vjS-j8?...
