Good morning from Michigan! May your day be like this tiny rose almost ready to open up and show its beauty to the world. Choose your moment and show off your loveliness! #tinyjoy #gardening 🌱 @pk1969.bsky.social @amberpasternak.bsky.social @amwesselmann.bsky.social @amandamagee.bsky.social

Please trust your instinct. Ditch the plans that feel weird. Pay the compliment out loud. Keep a wish secret. Set the boundary w/o fear of judgement. Know your place, meaning quite literally if they say it isn't your place & you disagree, own your place.

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com wishing you were on tonight,

Look folks I hate to break it to you but most of the Democrats in office right now and definitely all of the Republicans are fine with the current state of things because they’re functionally insulated from the political and economic repercussions

Do yourself and democracy a favor. Support independent media.

Well done for making it to the end of January. Stop whatever you're doing and read a book to reward yourself. If you don't have a book, then buy one from an indie bookshop, that way you'll be making TWO people happy.

@corybooker.com hello I used to run the Wendy’s Twitter account and I am begging you to let me help you with the dems social media strategy, I will literally do it for free at this point

move over, lowering egg prices

This is a big deal, y'all. Federal health websites are being stripped of content or removed in their entirety. Stick with this thread for a look at what's disappeared so far! 1/x

Tiny acts, of rebellion and compassion. Gave the lady behind me at the store the $2 off your next order coupon Her: "Really, you don't want it?" Me: I'll probably lose it and this is worth way more than $2. We both laughed.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

I have a rule that if I find an obituary when researching something, I stop and read it. Today's was Jim Thatcher. Not really an obit, but the search yielded a notice of his death. He helped make one of the first screen readers:

I've seen people referring to themselves as TikTok rufugees and Twitter immigrants. I get that there is loss and pressure to move, but it feels pretty gross.

i don't have a joke here, i just think it's rad as hell that this guy is making tiny tiny homes that are attached to bikes for people experiencing homelessness in toronto

If you’ve been directly impacted by a pause or cancellation of an NIH study session, we @forbes.com would like to talk to you

Wishing paper cuts on the people who cut their way to business class and then proceed to take calls where no one can hear them but the other passengers on the train.

It's wonderful how accurate this is in a therapeutic context.

This Cybertruck did not crash. It made a heartfelt and perhaps ill-advised gesture that, in the moment, might have been misinterpreted as a crash, but we should not rush to judgement.

GAY TRAITOR:

Speaking of tradwives, @sarahstankorb.bsky.social wrote an excellent piece for us on the topic www.damemagazine.com/2024/05/30/t...

Perfect example.

Using my little corner of the internet to underscore the importance of remembering your health. Eat, rest, take vitamins, say no. You can help, but none of us can or should do it all.

This is your mission. We take our power back now at the local and state level. Stop waiting for a national hero. It’s you. Get to work.

If she can do it, we can all do it.

We can stop reading the NYT and WaPo any time and support independent journalism instead.

🚨BREAKING: @DouglasEmhoff reportedly confronted Bruce Fischer, Sen. Deb Fischer's husband, at the inauguration, saying, “Why would you try to shake my hand when you wouldn’t shake my wife’s hand?” This came after Fischer declined to shake VP Harris's hand but attempted to greet Emhoff. 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

Hannity claims he's pro-choice -- "you want an electric, you want a hybrid, you want a gas-powered vehicle, have at it"

"Pete Hegseth’s former sister-in-law, in an affidavit given to senators on Tuesday, alleged that the Pentagon chief pick caused his second wife to fear for her safety... Hegseth also stated that women should not have the right to vote or work, according to the affidavit."

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

Hands up everyone who zooms in on every picture posted with a bookshelf in the background to check out the books

Working on a post for work and wrote it from my perspective, rather than a client perspective. I totally have to rewrite and I am being a terrible editor because I fell in love wit h a line. Two, damnit. Sigh. Kill your darlings.

Last night Donald Trump was fêted by billionaires on bended knee while those of us in the pro-democracy movement did the hard work and stand tall. We may not have their wealth, but we have our dignity and resolve. Our work continues.

Life keeps going, so does dying. So many of us are saying we don't to be here. Gotta make some plans, boundaries and promises. Try not lose all of your gentleness.

So the salute? Just no more playing around?

G'night.

Perhaps the real reason all public inauguration events are getting canceled. The crowd size would have embarrassed the incoming child and so he would rather take the transition money and run.

This is kind of a self-own. If you believe that strongly about it, quit using them altogether. Otherwise, acknowledge that you’re willing to completely sell out your principles because you’re addicted to using a social media app. Or just admit that you’re not all that pissed off in the first place.

Every question from the senators should have been job specific like this. This demonstrates lack of preparedness. This could have convinced 3 republicans he isn’t the right one for the job

Starting off the morning by adding another Starter Pack!

Know your rights These are cards are in every language regarding your rights with immigration. Every single child that may be vulnerable (or vulnerable family members) should have one in their pocket. Spread this like 🔥 #chicagoteachers #bluecrew #chicago #redcards #teachers #knowyourrights

the scream i scrumpt

In case anyone is wondering the time it takes for the second dog to come in the house is exactly 1 second longer than it takes you to shut the door after the first dog comes in.

Discovered today (I'm slow) that some people are predisposed to looking for a lie in good things.

24 states have no minimum age for prosecuting children. The Laken-Riley Act requires that anyone, including children, who is merely *charged* with a crime suffer indefinite, no-bond detention. Call your Senators today. Please.

Time to burn all those Carrie Underwood cds I never bought.
