BREAKING: I'm reintroducing my bill with @markey.senate.gov to end qualified immunity for federal officers—including ICE agents. This bill is for Renee Good, Keith Porter, & everyone in America to know that when ICE agents break the law & kill our neighbors, they'll be held accountable.

Why do "I'm up for that" and "I'm down for that" mean the same thing?? English is ridiculous

Me to Sylvester (cat): Sir, can you just be patient for one minute Sylvester: *head-butting me* Me: Nope, that word isn't in his vocabulary. Kid: No words are in his vocabulary. Me: That's not the point 😒

Happy birthday to my favorite brother, @metafrantic.bsky.social, who once wrote on his birthday wishlist "Joan not to call for _1_full_week_" while I was away at college. 🤨 Sorry you probably didn't get that wish! 🤷🏻‍♀️

As a young adult the excitement is all "I can stay up as late as I want!" and then when you're an older adult it's "I can go to bed as early as I want!" 👵🏼 (this post brought to you by 25-year-old me who would never have expected 51-year-old me to voluntarily go to bed at TEN PM 😳😱)

NWS now has two scenarios for Tues.: Mainly rain on the coastal or a chance of up to 6 inches in the Greater French Toast Area. Frankly, we're no longer used to large amounts of snow, so we're getting vexed - and raising the alert to 3 Slices. bostonfrenchtoast.com

btw there's that NRSC poll floating around that says voters are more likely to support Platner after hearing about his tattoo here's how the question was phrased lol

Boston, are we gonna have this kind of energy when it comes for us? I sure as hell hope so.

Very helpful field guide

Who's watching the World Series? It's blowing my mind that this starting pitcher for Toronto is a month and a half younger than my firstborn child. Wtfffff. I cannot even. 😳

God I love this poem. It is gorgeous and angry and life-affirming. a perfect reflection after a weekend of protests.

Imma need the Mariners to get this shit done tonight, 'cause I won't be able to watch tomorrow. LFG guys, pls, kthx

I’ve heard AI described as “mansplaining as a service“ by Silicon Valley women in tech

I have a lot of complex thoughts about how old our (MA) senators are, but they are IN THE MOMENT. And Markey is facing a challenge from a much younger rep who's come out anti-trans. This is Markey's response. He knows that standing for something MATTERS.

Who robbed the Louvre, right answers only

“You have to spend your whole day looking at dead bodies and crime scenes,” Ephantus Kanyugi, a Kenyan data label, told AFP. “Mental health support was not provided.”

#NoKings event in Fairhope, Al. A woman was arrested for "lewd conduct" because she was dressed in penis suit with a sign that said "No dick-tator" 3 cops on a 53 yo woman.

A few of my favorite signs from #nokings in Boston today.

this brought me so much joy.

Boosting! Please boost this as much as you can!

Laws are not self-executing. Is this an obvious Hatch Act violation? Of course. But without good men and women in government faithfully executing the laws, it doesn't matter. When this is all over, assuming we still have a constitutional government, there needs to be an accounting.

Why are so many people going to the airport at 5am?? Go back to bed, everyone! Sheesh

Imagine your sister being so universally beloved that you make an innocent little post about her having the sniffles and the entire internet loses its shit to the point where you have to issue a retraction 😂🥰

Me: I've been working on this trip prep stuff for a while now, it must be almost bedtime The clock: 7pm Me: 🤨

Yes it's still 85°F (wtf) but it's definitely fall, because I got jump-scared by a leaf falling directly in my face. 🍂🍁😱😳😂

Same. #AlsoTiredOfWaitingForTheEPSTEIN_Files

Not enough people know that you don't hear about the holes in the ozone layer anymore because an international agreement banning production of chlorofluorocarbons was wildly successful and the ozone has recovered since. Change is possible. None of this is inevitable. We can choose differently.

"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."

Me: I'm gonna get up out of this chair and start getting stuff done Nick Furry: hmm this lap looks cozy Me: oh well it's okay, he never snuggles for very long Me an hour later: why did I say that 🤦🏻‍♀️

An industrious neighbor (who is not me) created this remarkable resource that consolidates -all- the candidate answers to -all- the various surveys and questionnaires. Read up. Get informed. Talk to your neighbors. Think. Vote. somerville-candidate-questionnaires-2025.online

Saying they’re unconstitutional but leaving them in place anyway pretty much sums up everything from the last 8 months

So many netizens tonight seem to be indulging in the kind of hopeful flights of fancy typically reserved for kids on Xmas Eve. It’s all silly, of course. But seeing the joy it brings warms the heart. We haven’t lost the capacity to dream.

The face of a girl who just stepped on the printer and made it print two copies of a cauliflower soup recipe. I guess Poppy has aspirations of being a chef 👩🏻‍🍳

I dreamed that I was talking to @marthawells.com and I asked how many Murderbot episodes there are and she said six and I was like, well that can't be right 'cause I've already watched six. 😭 Fortunately my subconscious was wrong and there are actually going to be 10. But that's still not enough! 😭😭

No thank you. I would like to opt out of this please. 🥵😭

Feeling pretty attacked by this meme 🤨

Mm no I'm pretty sure it's just an apple

Poppy yells at me for a while, then goes away, comes back covered in cobwebs(??), yells at me some more. And then runs away when I try to get the stuff off her face. Ridiculous child. 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

Tag yourself I'm disappoofed 😂

Week Six of working as a crossing guard in my little city. The hours are crap, but the money... is also crap... but at least I'm getting some fresh air and interacting with members of my community.... Pictured: graffiti that appeared at "my" corner the other morning.

When my 2nd kid was about 9 months old I decided to make an effort to use their actual name because we mostly just called them Baby and I was afraid both kids would think that was their name. I didn't want them to end up like Jennifer Grey in Dirty Dancing, 16yo and everyone still calls her Baby wtf

What's wrong with this picture? 🤔🤨

They're literally doing the meme

even josh hawley shocked at how many fuckin crimes trump has committed lol

My Pride Month post. Because I'm tired and scared and angry and out of patience.

Shall I be plain? I wish the bastards dead
