Me trying to brain a less smelly way to take our food waste to the nearest compost dropoff 1.3 miles away

Wout van Aert forever:

My new midlife crisis hobby is skateboarding, and I got Aggie to humor me on walks

My soul left my body when Berger took that shot. lorena great save in the last seconds. Keeper v Keeper #KCBaby

If Michelle Cooper came at me like that trying to get past me, I would crumple immediately #KCBaby #KCvGFC

if you invented public libraries today, every opinion page in the country would be arguing for means tested subsidized Amazon Prime memberships

AAAAHHHHHHH IT WORKED THIS IS WHAT I WANT GOVERNMENT DOING

How could you not be a little romantic about NASA

Yesterday I took my gravel bike to mountain bike trails (ow) and I think I caught the mountain biking bug! I got lost in the park constantly and found myself at the nearby living history museum

Watching Sinners in a packed theater is an all-time experience still, even a year later! But even better in 70mm with a Q&A after

I stopped watching Texas Chain Saw Massacre to watch the KC Current game and wow this is a massacre too 😮‍💨 #SEAvKC

lowkey love her being like EYE have a passport bc I'm rich but what about the rest of y'all broke asses? I still know an unconstitutional poll tax when I see one!

It's biking season! I am able to get downtown from home with majority bike paths or protected bike lanes, but I had to make a 311 report about trash in the lane on Admiral though. And so much glass!

How do you watch the NWSL this season? Get your note pad ready.

Brookside. 39th Street. River Market. 18th and Vine. Westport. All of these neighborhoods — largely built before 1950 — would be illegal to build under today’s zoning laws. Soon, the Kansas City Council may consider legislation that aims to change those regulations. thebeaconnews.org/stories/2026...

After years of introspection and therapy I realized I'm not actually that introverted. I have anxiety. I don't find people draining, I find anxiety draining... and avoiding people made it worse 🙃

“I present as a woman. I walk through this world as a woman,” Abegg said. “It makes as much sense to me to have ‘M’ on my driver's license as it does for me to list my weight as nine and a half pounds, if we're talking about statistics at birth.” Bars. Incredible.

What. WHAT. Give the buses their money!

BikeShareKC put a new ebike hub closer to my house so I could ride to the BikeWalkKC Member party last night (snacks, bikes and beer!) and learn more about what the org is doing to make safer streets for the community. It was nice to meet so many folks who rely on biking and transit!

We'd all be happier if we lived somewhere walkable (The Deep Space Nine space station)

@nightmarejunkhead.bsky.social I hope it's not too late! I wanted to watch some movies!

The thing about working from home most of the time, is that when I go out I am constantly surprised when I'm misgendered. A person on the street was like, "you *are* a girl right?" I am a STRANGER, stop perceiving me!!

This story, from @natezuke.bsky.social, is absolutely wild. A trans woman who never changed her gender marker was issued a letter invalidating her license. At the DMV they cut up her license, which had an "M" marker. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

I am going to link to organizations that I know for sure are helping trans Kansans. This thread will develop slowly as I either know people or will vet them. At this point we have not heard from anyone being helped via relocation resources. These exist, but I assume they are overwhelmed.

If thousands of my neighbors just died at the hands of their own government and then my daughter was blown up by some chucklefuck on the other side of the planet claiming to help, I would walk into sea. It is hard to fathom the suffering innocent Iranians are enduring. God have mercy.

I’m transgender, I live in Kansas, if you want to help rn donate to either the ACLU of Kansas or the ACE foundation in Wichita - the ACE foundation especially is the organization that will help people with money for groceries, rent, etc. More orgs also included in attached img acefoundationict.org

If you want to help trans folks in need of resources in Kansas, consider supporting the LGBTQ Foundation of Kansas: lgbtqks.org/donate/

“‘The persecution is the point,’ said Rep. Abi Boatman, a Wichita Democrat and the only transgender member of the Legislature, who received the [Kansas Dept of Revenue] notice on Wednesday.” To underscore that: a Kansas state legislator is among those whose driver’s license will be voided. (🎁 link:)

Kansas used to be one of the easiest states to navigate gender marker changes, BTW. This police state bullshit makes me sick to my stomach.

KC City Council rolling back energy regulations even when developers are saying it won't change other barriers for development. So, developers get what they want (cheaper construction), residents get higher utility bills, and no substantial increases in permits. www.kcur.org/housing-deve...

Kansas moved to the Do Not Travel list with Texas and Florida because of the new trans bounty bill open.substack.com/pub/erininth...

Constant fights over bus funding have meant service cuts and long wait times for riders. Now, dozens of riders are launching a union, and they hope others join to make service better for everyone.

Victor López Delara was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement after police stopped him for driving without a front license plate. His fiancée says he has no criminal history and has been in the U.S. since he was 4. (@stlpublicradio.bsky.social)

“Is there a technology the left is excited about?” High-speed rail! MRNA vaccines! New cancer treatments! Solar and wind energy collection! Better and longer-range EVs! That wood that's harder than steel! New apples! Fibermaxxing! Buldak Swicy ramen! Muppets! Muppets are too a technology, shut up!

Everyone was right about Andor, and I'm not even to the second season yet!!

I just saw Casablanca in a full theater and it, indeed, ruled.

The Border Patrol agents lied. They always lie. And they lie to destroy other people's lives for fun. www.huffpost.com/entry/border...

Me at 20: I’ll have it all figured out by the time I’m 40. Me at 40: wtf do you mean they rearranged the grocery store

I’ve spent years of my life trying to explain to people that anti-trans conservatism naturally flows from their belief that children in the American nuclear family are not individuals with autonomy, but instead property of the parents and state, and this guy just… tweeted it out

Happy birthday to Charles Darwin, patron saint of tired scientists, grumpy fieldworkers, and hating your own manuscript.

The proposed budget would give 75% of the city’s general fund to public safety, including the Kansas City fire and police departments. This is an unsustainable budget for our city. We continue to cut services that prevent crime only to fund the KCPD who have a very poor track record!

He literally says in this clip that ICE will keep in Minnesota “quick reaction forces” — a military term — to go after “agitators.” Remember that those on the ground in MPLS have spent more than a week trying to tell everyone that Trump’s prior “deescalation” was a ruse and ICE is still operational

this thread is harrowing but these lawyers are fucking heroic

sorry i missed the virtual meeting on discord, liz. i got hit with the id verification that happens when the app detects youre young

I love them. Not sorry, baby.

“Push-up bras, which can be a gender-affirming garment and also temporarily shift breast tissue into one’s desired shape, would never get called a medical device,” Shephard said.

3 weeks post surgery and I am daydreaming of my post op appointment where they give me an A in surgery recovery, they ask me "what's your secret" I say it's sleeping 10 hours a day and eating protein. But then I tell them the truth...I married a nurse and she bullies me.

1. The most extreme anti-trans bill ever proposed is currently rocketing through the Kansas legislature. It would empower bounty hunters to search for trans people in bathrooms, even in private businesses, and sue them for large sums of money. The House is voting on it today.
