I'm imagining people showing up to the reflecting pool with flasks of algae now

Trump: “Here is another example of a crazy pro-algae (likely paid) protestor. The sign says, ‘First they came for the algae…’ which is in reference to a famous post-WW2 statement about Germans not speaking out against Nazis ‘…Then they came for the Jews, & I did not speak out—bc I was not a Jew “

That's not how algae works bro

I'm not going to complain about hearing the OPB Radio story about pika twice today

All day long people talk shit about raisins on here because they don’t understand the deliciousness or utility of less wet grapes

...so he's going to jail federal workers? Or the pool contractors? Is that it?

"Be beige, not rainbow" is the outcome of librarians saying libraries should be neutral. We cannot and are not neutral, and we gotta stop insisting that we are. At this point, it is part of the book ban playbook.

me after any minor inconvenience:

Timberland Regional Libraries are amazing! Their staff are the best. Every branch is an incredible community resource. This thread explains why folks should A: Rally around supporting library funding and B: Take back Board power from a few truly awful leaders.

One of my dill plants has six ladybug larvae on it 🥹

This is also the same area where many other Christian Nationalists are running for office this year. I’ll add some threads below about the KLANdidates we’ve been paying attention to. We should all be aware that they are HEAVILY trying to push their way in. With more money than you can imagine.

As someone who went homeless for a while, libraries gave me a place to put my feet up, somewhere to recharge. To write. To simply exist. Fuck the christian nationals. You want to preach, do it in church. Not a public library.

My toddler is presently stripping our one ripe blueberry bush of every last blueberry

Prostate Testing can be done with a blood test now. ☝🏽 A big part of being a good father is doing everything you can to be here for them.

My neighbors over the back fence have two kids in early elementary and every time I am remotely concerned that my kids are too loud outside, the neighbor kids prove me wrong by being 10x as loud.

I know "whataboutism" is one of the lowest forms of media criticism, but I also think it's worth asking why places like Oregon get covered in the New York Times the way it does. Our Democratic Party is actually pretty bland and normal, despite the Portlandia stereotypes. So why do this NYT?

Congrats to the cynical propagandists in the OR GOP whose noise inspired the NYT to publish a piece about a non-story replicating the "OR Democrats are so crazy" framing, while not mentioning the legitimately crazy petition to end vote by mail the GOP's been promoting www.nytimes.com/2026/06/21/u...

The best thing about the reflecting pool is how that man would not shut up about it for weeks. He used his pool guy! He had infographics made! He drove down the middle of it! Never in the history of anything has a punchline been set up so perfectly.

My dear @dochops.bsky.social

I am happy to announce I will have my first round of fresh green beans this week 🥳 Provider indeed

Both totally unnecessary and extremely funny that the Guardian has an interactive graphic for you to change the color of the US flag's blue to the color of the Reflecting Pool from 8 to 19 June and counting

My poor son. First he got stung by a bee yesterday. Today he had a tick on him after we came inside 🤢

All this for putting his hand in the water????

ACAB means park police too

This is hardly the most authoritarian thing the Trump administration has done but it’s probably the stupidest authoritarian thing they’ve done. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...

help needed, please share. "IRB has been approved, now its time to recruit! I’m looking for Black women who currently have, or formerly had, a professional connection to math education to participate in my dissertation research study."

Not sure how that happened, but I got a video call from a dsawyers112 at Gmail dot com randomly while in a restaurant

Hard for this team to be good vibes when this keeps happening

My kids are up from nap and they're playing World Cup together in the hall while I watch the actual match.
