this is how you get people who think it took professional grade logistics to drop a few thousand hand warmers in Minneapolis. it's okay though, I'm sure war doesn't require any sort of logistics or supplies more complicated than that.

This is a very niche request: anyone have a good manapua recipe? Preferably one super close to the baked ones from Chun Wah Kam? It doesn’t look like they ship frozen to the mainland, we only have steamed here, and I need it for reasons (the horrors made me sad and manapua will fix me lol)

Here it is, your moment of zen.

Bro we have GOT to come up with a fix for “gen x white men are terrified of dying” before we end up in the Forever AI Torment Nexus Sponsored by Coke or whatever the fuck

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

The nostalgia for a man who is, in very large part, WHY WE ARE HERE is going to make my brain leak out of my ears. It wasn’t better just because you were too busy downing questionable sink alcohol before you took your lacy cami to the club to notice what was happening, you were JUST DRUNK A LOT

THIS MAN CREATED ICE

the median reporter or editor makes $60,000 a year, which makes them slightly below the average U.S. income. www.bls.gov/ooh/media-an...

Hey do you see that dip in 2020 for EVERYONE. Idk just wondering what might have happened to make people feel generally bad about life and their place in it.

When genetic roulette gave you 1 Chaos Muppet and 1 Order Muppet and they have to share their arts and crafts 😆

ICE killed a teacher in Georgia today when they chose to chase a man who posed no danger and had no criminal history.

Worth thinking about how John Fetterman's position polls at 5% among Democratic primary voters and AOC's polls at 75%

One reason Republicans are so laser targeted on trans kids existing, is that trans kids existing requires accepting the bodily autonomy and consent of children. Which is something republicans absolutely can't do, since they are pedophiles. Their transphobia and pedophilia is them being consistent

“Is this legally actionable” and “is this morally reprehensible” are not the same conversation and I am instantly suspicious of anyone to turns into a philosopher on the nature of crime instead of just saying that assaulting people is bad

The drunk uncle theory. You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

There’s going to be Covid style shortages of cars, TVs and even washing machines and fridges, then job losses because assembly lines can’t source solid state memory, just so the stupidest person you know can state with 100% confidence a chatbot confirmed dinosaurs coexisted with humans.

What a comfortable snuggle position for everyone involved in this situation! I am definitely not suffocating slowly!

OBVIOUSLY this is a cause near and dear to me; if you have ever loved anything I’ve made and have a little extra, please send some craft love the shelter’s way 🥰

My child articulated to us when they were 3 that they were not the gender we had assumed; we had not introduced this concept and it was *the middle of covid*. People are who they are and the only choice you have is how much of a jerk you are or are not going to be about it 🤨

I can't remember the theorist offhand, but there's a Black scholar who talks about the urgency of white supremacy. "We can't address racism right now, we have to address [emergency]." And there will always be an emergency. It's a common strategy used across most modes of oppression.

One of the top trending sounds on IG rn is a cover of Ice Ice Baby called “Motherfuck Ice Ice Baby” and someone very clearly got their feelings hurt about it LOL

Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted child sex trafficker, gets gardening time, sports, therapy dogs, and spa products in prison. Migrant children in custody are sleeping on concrete floors without enough food or clean water. Our priorities are so fucked.

Amazon has been laying off thousands of workers every few months. What EXACTLY are we trying to keep them here for???? You maybe, MAYBE could have sold me on billionaire job creation a couple years ago but anyone floating that at this point is a doorknob

You can't call every step of creeping fascism a distraction from kitchen-table issues and then punt whenever you have a chance to address the kitchen-table issues.

If you’ve ever wondered who this truly impacts? My family. My child. We’ve already been hit by the shutdown of care from major hospitals in Wisconsin. Even though my insurance covers gender affirming care, my child can’t access it here, which means I can’t afford it. Please say something

I'm sure we've all seen the graphic that lays out the United States ' relationship with slavery. It's good, but I never thought it was quite impactful enough. So I made my own. I've used a few key events, including my birth, to highlight how recent these events are in history. 1 square = 1 year.

I got stressed out over whether it was ethical to let people buy me an extra $25 plate for my printer just because it made it a lot easier to switch out whistle plates. anyway.

The proliferation of mobile games where your character opens a small business with almost no money and quickly becomes a millionaire is a capitalist tool to devalue labor and promote the myth that low-income workers can easily “pull themselves up by their bootstraps.” In this essay I will

I find the responses here pretty compelling! Point taken, fuck these things

This is a good thread. There is a huge difference between "the court system is still able to provide some positive outcomes in some cases" and "the court system is capable of providing due process and the system is fair."

Erin Jackson the first Black Woman to win Olympic Gold Medal in Speed Skating

Kiddo turns 7 tmrw and I just realized 3/4 of their presents are cat themed. We are, as Mr Measured put it, “Giving the people what they want. Cats and only cats.” (The stuffies are the kind you can warm up in the microwave and it was decided they don’t violate the one-in-one-out stuffie rule 😂)

I opened threads because I had a notification and they are apparently debating the necessity of HEA in romance, and it's nice to know that even if the world is on fire and our government is crumbling, people will be mad the happy books are happy & happy book people will fail to ignore them. 😂

Can’t wait to pull out tales of this tweet at my next weaving guild meeting, where there is a woman who has been researching a forgotten weaving technique for *forty years* LMAOOOOOOO

Ah yes artists, famously undedicated to their work, never obsessive, who don’t understand {checks notes} creating things. This shit right here is why people hate you AI assholes. Myopic and arrogant. You’re not creating or iterating anything? You literally invented a soulless box to do it for you.

do u think during the industrial revolution people thought the factory was their boyfriend

I would proffer that part of the distinction is not techies versus non-techies, but staff that do much more hands-on work versus management. VPs and directors think that it works, junior engineers and code maintainers want to have a word.

Measles is one of those nightmare diseases that, if it hadn't been killing people for hundreds of years, people would ABSOLUTELY be pushing conspiracy theories about right now. It's too nasty in too many different directions to seem natural. But oh, boy, it sure is.

i just it seems very unfair

ProPublica received eight handwritten letters from children who have been held at the detention center that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was recently released from. We'll let their words speak for themselves.

Idk if this is actually legit but it is interesting to me that as we are getting into the generations of conservatives who have (relatively speaking) longer internet histories, more of this stuff is going to be unavoidable for them, and none of them seem to have anticipated that as a problem

9 year old watching Indiana Jones: “I like that the music tells you when to be excited.” Lmao these kids give such casually devastating pop culture commentary, it’s so funny

Finishing up one of my faves 🥰 (every season is Tree-Rex season at Measured and Slow HQ lol) 🧶 #crochet #handmade

Kid 1 has been experimenting with trash talk and just yelled “you are taking LONGER THAN AVERAGE” at the computer opponent in his tennis game so…we’re gonna have to keep working on it 😭

In roughly 8 hours some of you are gonna be REALLY excited 🥰☺️ #3Dprinting

As a person who enjoys mess I am loving the absolute dragging of the Wuthering Heights movie but as a person in the romance fandom I am annoyed by the entire situation. Bro leave us alone, this one’s not on us 😭
