This tracks with my experience 💯. Just show up a handful of times and you’ll find yourself in charge of all kinds of things. Not happy with how the party is functioning? Well, guess what. YOU are the party. Show up and help out.

This dude rules.

RIP to the incomparable Sam Neill

A lot of people have followed me today. The LRT is what you signed up for.

Cyclospora, screw worm, measles… Seems more than enough preventable outbreaks to warrant the resignation of the HHS leadership.

Somebody used to come and shove these in the hymnals at our old parish. When I was in Catholic school it was a banner day to find these before the teachers did.

I have been called a "statue-worshipper" before. If it wasn't for that whole reliable "anti-abortion" thing they would have dumped the Catholics out long ago.

War is a genuinely terrible anti-human phenomenon rife with injustice and misery but Also sometimes this

Anyway, everyone knows what time it is for ol' Linds www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDU_...

All law is now based on how much narcissistic injury caused to one man.

1) this is fucking insane 2) once again the article framing is something @goldwagnathan.bsky.social and others have noted where israel and palestine are not real places with real people but rather a studio backlot for the performance of american politics

Dear Big Norway Viking Lad, you may eat Harry Kane, as a little treat.

Made strawberry cornflake muffins this morning because apparently I am on a roll in the kitchen. Also I can't keep going to the Fancy Bakery for little treats it will bankrupt me.

“Of course Ian and I are going to work for free,” Rollins told me via Zoom. “No money was ever offered or asked for. I don’t want a dollar. I’ve got the bucks. Isn’t this what you spend money on? What would you rather do? Do fentanyl or work with a Cramps catalogue?”

Look, it’s straightforward: In the UK you can stand for election as a bin *provided that* you have a classics degree from Oxford

My favourite thing about Haaland is that he spent 1.3 million ​Norwegian kroner of his football money on a rare 1594 edition of Viking chronicles - a record book sale for Norway - and then donated it to his regional library. www.reuters.com/lifestyle/ha...

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

The cool thing is the Biden Admin already did this nationwide and then those assholes on the 8th Circuit overturned it once Trump was in office

Come for her fringe-tastic outfit, stay for her use of Superdude as her not-a-stripper pole.

While at the Fred Rogers Institute, was not prepared for the feelings of seeing the last cardigan the mom of Mister Fred Rogers ever knit for him 🥹🩶✨

Unions stand for humans.

We were once asked to bring in a silly scene from a movie in an acting class (look I needed an Easy A) and I used this scene and no one got it and embarrassed me and the fact that he has achieved peak silly scene vindicates me over and over

holy shit. this was not this in 2016 or 2020

they keep banning judith butler from red state universities even as this whole decade has been judith butler's revenge
