Great culture can save lives. Literally. Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard

Serious "look what you made us do" vibes

The thing about power is, when you're in charge, everything *is*, in fact, your fault. Nice try, though, GOP.

I did it! I grew sweet potatoes that look like sweet potatoes and not dessicated poops! (US dollar for scale since I don't have a banana) #GardenSky #Plantsky

💯💯💯

Hegseth: I decide what "settled history" Historians: LOL

💯💯💯💯

I've been doing this for 21 years and now I really don't give af what caused my son's autism. I'd rather see more money go toward supports and programs for him and others like him but nah, let's find more ways to make it Mom's fault while we destroy Medicaid 🙄

Have you all seen this??? share.google/RFNXibwoFdth...

All this talk about HUAC and cradle-robbing has me thinking that Woody Allen's The Front might be worth another viewing. #filmsky

This lil' peanut had to have all but her canines taken out, and a big ol' wart removed from her back so they told me to get her a T-shirt. (She's getting lots of love, soft treats, and pain meds, don't worry!) #dogsky

This Burning Man masterpiece was spotted by Reno News & Review managing editor Kris Wagner and I think it needs to be shared here: #artsky #burningman2025 #rfkjr

C'mon, everyone. Be patient. Building an AI-generated simulacrum of a president takes *time*.

"Your dead kids don't trump my Constitutional rights" - Joe the Plumber, 2014 I have never forgotten this cold, utterly horrific statement. No one should.

I’ve said it before but reading all the medieval history books I’ve been reading lately has been so comforting. Makes you realize that there have always been mad and incompetent kings and they almost always die in ignominy and everyone piles shit on them for centuries after they’re gone.

My mom was an avid bicycle safety advocate and I had that stuff drilled straight into my brain as a young child. So here's my take FWIW: Bicycles are vehicles. Car drivers: treat them as you would other vehicles. Cyclists: behave as you would if you were driving a car. Look out for each other.

Look...she's a horrible person and I'm fine with malicious mispronunciations of her name, but can we at least be more creative with it? Jello Jiggly Germaine Germy The possibilities are *endless*

I was explaining to my Ukrainian colleague the phrase ‘There’s no such thing as a free lunch’. She told me the equivalent in Ukrainian is ‘The only free cheese is in the mousetrap’ - which is so much better

It's "cloud or smoke column?" season

A family friend asked me to put my spin on the “They Didn’t Burn Witches / They Burned Women” design that’s been circulating for a while. Spent some time earlier & I'm really happy with it. Please like & share 🖤✨️ #art #digital #digitalart #feminism #equality #activism #womensrights #stillfighting

Someone brilliant (I wish I could remember who) said that one of our biggest problems as Americans is that we want simple solutions to complex problems. I think about that every day.

My first time growing eggplant - I didn't know the blooms were so pretty 😍 #plantsky #garden #gardensky

pretty weird how there's always billion dollars just lying around whenever ICE needs concentration camps but there's never any money when children need healthcare or a simple school lunch. oh well just one of those things I guess

Big fan of democracy but we'll have to admit it's an L of historic proportions to get subverted and destroyed not by some strategic genius but by possibly the dumbest man on earth

If you have AppleTV and want a nail-biter of a sci-fi show, I recommend Silo. We started it tonight and halfway through the episode I realized we'd accidentally started with the first episode of the *second* season, and doing it that way made E1S1 way, way cooler. #Silo #AppleTV

Well hello there, Mr. Muskrat

Everything is awful so here is a photo of one of my guilty pleasures. (Sorry if it's sideways, I can't seem to fix it)

This is incredibly sad. Sesame Street was a staple program on PBS and it was *free*. Now the only ones to see it will be those who can pay for it.

RFK Jr's remarks are the same bs I've been hearing since my son was diagnosed 18 years ago. Unless he's planning to expand services for high support needs autistics I don't want to hear a single goddamn word out of his mouth about autism.

Lest we not forget St Gertrude

This is how insignificant humanity is on the largest scale. We have some dickheads ruining everything to enrich themselves, and the universe is just like "what, gold? You mean that stuff that some star just farted out onto a rock?"

Has he *ever* referred to the US as "his" country or "our" country? Or has it always been "your country" Just wondering since he doesn't seem to be an American anymore (if he ever was, tbh)

Good advice ⬇️

Well, my dealer’s back in town

Behold the very first VHS I ever purchased. The video rental place special ordered it for me. It cost $36 in 1983. I saved up my babysitting money to buy it. Pretty sure it won't even play now, but it stays on my shelf to remind me of a simpler time.

Bakers of Bluesky - my mom taught me to store flour and pastas in the freezer to protect them from storage beetles. Does cold flour impact baking at all? #bakesky

You can mash avocados and freeze them in ice cube trays to be thawed and used later.

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)

If you live in an abortion-restricted state, order your abortion pills now. PlanCPill.org will direct you to a provider who delivers to your state. If you live in Texas, you'll need to go through AidAccess.org. Legal jeopardy is on the provider, not the recipient--for now. So order them now.

Everything is kind of awful but our first Mochinut opens tomorrow so at least I can carbo-load on coconut jelly pudding
