People used to think I'd regret leaving teaching (my lifelong dream job) or grow old and regret not having children. Since 2020 not a single person has suggested I'd have regrets and several have switched to: you made the right choice. Our children deserve a much better world.

What's that the sailors' say? 😄🌨

THREAD. A collection of photographs of excellent goats I have met during walks in the British countryside. You will find the all-important captions to each photo in the alt text.

Of all the things we are doing in MN, this one is just beyond. Imagine being released from hell alone in the cold. And a total stranger has waited all night with a blanket just to be ready to hug you and carry you home. Every job we do is crucial, but this one is what restores humanity and dignity.

I think this meme is basically true to the story thus far. Which is bananas. #RAM #Gaming #AI

Wow.

Working my way through Black Reconstruction in America by W.E.B. Du Bois and wow so many of the quotes are still so very relevant today. Ch 16: Probably in no country in the civilized world did human life become so cheap. This condition prevails among both white and black... #USA250 do better.

a neighbor set up this werewolf for halloween and instead of taking it down they just update it with seasonal outfit changes. now it’s dressed for valentine’s day and holding a sign with a picture of bad bunny and his super bowl slogan. i love him.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Almond cluster- almonds are my least favorite nuts (but why is their extract divine?!). Coconut shavings always gets stuck in my throat so they're a close second even though I love the flavor.

"You got corn in your truck? We ordered corn three weeks ago!"

Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.

It's like the little prince on his tiny planet

snow agumon is real

Ominous bird valentines.

Winter is always a mental struggle for me and this winter staying asleep is hard. So I have Blueberry the bean from Focus Friend knit while I sleep. When I wake up during the night they make sure I don't start doomscrolling. AND they use the sink to wash up after eating chips!! 🥰

According to wikipedia it's either an athlete or a former member of Train, but I think our most famous alum is actually a voice actor whose brother was in my graduating class. I recognized her name among the cast of Date Everything and asked my bestie: wait, is she THAT one?!?

First: Everyone is fine. Second: The fear I felt when I caught a whiff of "something died in here" in the basement where my lizards live.......😱 I think it's a combo of smells from dirty plates that haven't made their way upstairs, yet. Thankfully the babies didn't mind a little extra attention.

I see on a regular basis how white hetcis men are championed for being geniuses for saying things that sound complicated or hard to understand and how Black people, especially Black women, are treated like we are totally incompetent when we talk about complex things and ask people to sit and think

Puddles Pity Party is really hitting the feels with his past couple shorts. I like to think of him as my big brother. I haven't posted pics of me in makeup, but behind grease paint is where I feel most free. youtube.com/shorts/JWEyU...

Loot that drops after defeating me: •bag of dice •a lizard or two •lots of candy •salty snacks •cute facemask •clown nose and grease paint •a pair of very worn comfy pants •a 1980s Share Bear plush

I can finally adjust the lizard lights to match the sunset again! I don't let their artificial day get as short as actual days in the winter. The real mornings are still too short, but we're getting there!

Hi there, fellow white people (especially my fellow white dudes)! It's Black History Month, and all of us who have lived in the privilege bubble our entire lives should get educated! Every day this month, 28daysofblackhistory.com drops a new story in your inbox. Every single one of them is amazing.

An older episode, relevant as always.

This Black history month, instead of making lists & recommending the same books you do every year, invest in bringing more Black writers into the world. Subscribe to my publishing community for $5 or $12 and invest in the work we are doing to champion authors in the margins. We need your help.

It always feels like all the wrong people die, but I think it’s because there are far more beloved people than there are bastards.

Just found out a beloved hometown pastor passed away. This year really sucks so far. He drove up to the big city to visit my bestie while she was in the hospital and that meant so much to her. I wanted him to marry my husband and I, but he recommended we use our own church. I wish I hadn't listened.

I think it's important for people to learn what species they have locally so they can be excited about them and feel some responsibility for their well-being. Since we as a species have largely taken over the planet, it seems like the right thing to do: make sure other species can still live here.🐡🐍

Downfall Bovino Edition. You're welcome.

I made a Fuck Ice sign for my window and my neighbor texted saying their family likes it. Yay!!! Now I wait to see if any parents of small kids are bothered enough by the language to wade through a foot and a half of snow to knock on our door and complain.

at the core of fascist ideology is an assumption that people are rotten, only motivated by things like fear and desire for power. they go out into the world and do terrible things, and then go home and live a "normal" life- so they assume any decency in others is also a mask.

This is fucking cool! www.businessinsider.com/minecraft-li...

"Feel the flavor" of no fucks left to give America. Black people tried to warn us and we've tried to warn others, to little effect. Thus, why we have no fucks left, and they have no clue what they unleashed. "No fucks left" eats propaganda for breakfast. "No fucks left" goes viral like nothin else.

"Minneapolis is no stranger to responding to violence from the state...The activist tradition is quite strong here, especially since the summer of 2020...I remember so much about that summer, but what has stayed with me is a simple refrain: “There’s no such thing as other people’s children.”"

"Black people are tired. Not metaphorically tired—actually tired. The kind of tired that turns every group chat into a mix of gallows humor and emotional triage." I write about white ignorance and how exhausting it is to hear white ppl insist "this isn't who we are, when it's ALWAYS who we've been.

Hopefully this video will help you see how fucking ridiculous you sound when trying to chastise Black people who hurt your weak ass feelings.

Top of the charts at my house today

Might not cure depression but it puts the biggest smile on my face!

Hope Americans are ready for the next 50 years of movies and TV where we are always the cartoonishly played bad guys.

Also, people going hard for Newsom, who are never, ever from California, have you noticed how many of the people who hate him are FROM California? THAT'S B/C WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ELECT GAVIN NEWSOM AS THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS & IT IS VERY NOT GREAT & WE ARE TRYING TO TELL YOU TO AVOID THAT.

It is not for me to say who are and who aren't practicing their faith, but I am just going to leave this verse here. It's famous enough for even someone like me to know. I assume that self-identified Christians who form and back this administration know it, too.

The Amazing Devil's Ruin, it's been in my head for a for days now. Could probably also do Muse albums, the Red Alert Tiberian Sun soundtrack, Spiderman 1 or 2 soundtracks. Good music is good!

Also @interruptcrim.bsky.social put out a new IC resource on the multitude of ways we can defend our communities and disrupt the execution of ICE’s cruel agenda: Block It! Don’t Build It. Don’t Fill It. Don’t Fuel It. www.interruptingcriminalization.com/block-it
