What a lovely community I have, both on and offline. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much Mark! This need has now been met. If anyone wants to help give $ for any extras for K's prom send off party I will always forward thst on, too!!! bsky.app/profile/did:...

If anyone out there can help Alexis with some groceries, please send $ to my Venmo @cutejewelry and then I can Zelle it to her. She is a Black mama feeding 7 kids age 3 to 17, and now one baby. They get food stamps the 9th. #Dc #helpfolkslive #mutualaid #helpsky #payitforward

So i have packed the printer I got for Alexis with a ton of kids clothing into a large suitcase lol. I plan to take a baby gate and one more bag with stuff in it if possible when I go tomorrow

This is Baby. She is celebrating her first ever International Corgi Day today. Personally thinks she should be celebrated every day, but this is a good start. 14/10 (IG: cooperandbaby_corgi)

A woman from a local school PTA is getting ready to donate a bunch of lost and found hoodies to charity. She saw me asking for clothing for the snack kids and sorted out a bunch of stuff in the boy's sizes. They will be excited; these kids lost Nike and Adidas hoodies that are almost new lol.

I have still been able to accomplish a lot of stuff lately. Running down the street for a bassinet (and it turns out the baby's too old, lol, so I am re-gifting it).... Stopping by houses to pick up baby swimsuits and those little things you put in the outlets when babies start crawling.

I wish I could covey to people that migraines are not just "regular headaches" but debilitating episodes that can wreck your whole day/week for getting anything done, let alone life stuff. (As someone who suffers from them.)

Seems that, in terms of regulation, the administration has set itself up to replay the pandemic in a thousand smaller variations--except the people with real expertise who kind of checked Trump's stupidity during the pandemic have been systematically sidelined, targeted, and pushed out.

So, I did my rheumatologist appointment. She's putting me back on the steroids. Then in July, I learn to inject Humira and go to another kind doctor. Also, I have lymphedema in my right hip, fibrosis, a labral tear, a borth defect and a hemangioma. And I just walk around like a normal person 😆

My doctors nurse called me 2 1/2 hours before my appointment tomorrow to ask if I got my MRI. It happened in April. Not feeling supe4 confident about this appointment, although we are also transferring my care to a Dr who helps with complex cases next

The National Guard have zero training on DC law and have no authority to arrest people. They should not be here at all much less detaining people. Their presence is a danger, and is not making us safer. They are here to protect the regime not the people — and we want them OUT.

This is Daisy and Luna. Daisy doesn’t like car rides so Luna comforts her until they both fall asleep. Extremely heartwarming. 13/10 for both

In Los Angeles county, non-presidential primary election years have historically terrible voter turnout, it’s not too late to fill out your ballot & vote today 🗳️ Make your vote count, turn it in Check out @lapublicpress.bsky.social @knockdotla.bsky.social or @dsa.la for voter guides

Related: If you are in DC, you'll see a surge in the local MPD's crime log (You can subscribe on their site) The "crimes" : smoking pot in public, drinking in public, peeing in public, fare evasion, nuisance crimes that only need a ticket Pirro calls it a crime surge bsky.app/profile/free...

We are increasingly seeing National Guard soldiers detain community members and call MPD to arrest them. The three incidents pictured here have happened in just the last week alone.

We keep us safe — and that includes as we vote. Tomorrow, join the DC Election Protection coalition @lawyerscomm.bsky.social @advancementproject.org @win-dc.bsky.social for a press conference and vote-in about making sure every voter in DC can vote safely this June. FreeDCproject.org/vote-in

I've been doing quite well with my jewelry on depop.com, and in fact have lowered my prices and instead am making more money selling quantity. I don't pay the shipping and it's very small fees. I hope this sticks around

Got another $145 in! $855 to go! Please donate if able & share far and wide!

I was tasked with ordering K's corsage for prom and now I'm the anxious one LOL I know it should look good but I am so skeptical of fake flowers. It's got a nice lily with pink roses and K and his date are wearing silver and black Why am I the nervous one lol?

What I find is people simply don't want the reciprocity of community and that's at the root of why some seem to resent even the term community in 2026. Over the years, i've gotten so much rage from some people when I say that, yes, you DO need to know your neighbors. But you do.

I know he's ragebaiting me and now who he probably says he is, but damn, why are people like this to strangers? bsky.app/profile/dixm...

I don’t know if this is better or worse tbh.

I'm not losing weight like before and a lot of the gastro issues are doing better but when I have pain I still get this food aversion. Like can't finish food, don't like the taste. I'm positive it's psychological and as a lifelong chubby girl I don't know what to do

Been busy but sometimes unwell. Starting to worry the internal abcess could come back even though they said it was small and could resolve. My tachcardia is gone, the stabbing pains are gone. If it comes back it's because the infection came back. There's no way to be careful or preventative atp

“I bet that picture looks cool as hell,” the ICE agent said to a photographer shot with pepper balls numerous times that day as he tried to take photos. “Can you tag me on Instagram?” An essay on chasing ICE by @noturtlesoup17.bsky.social:

It is Venus's birthday and xe can use your celebration for groceries. If you like poetry, you can also help a la buying a poetry book!

Seems the pro-ICE rally all parked together and have among them a giant flag depicting the images of Alex Pretti and Renee Good and the phrase “America was Pretti Good,” apparently unaware said phrase honors the memory of both American citizens killed by DHS.

Everyone thank you for do much support for the #SnackKids this week. They got food and hygiene as well as underclothing, all of which they needed badly. I also have been assembling a summer wardrobe for them. The girls are mostly covered!💖💖💖💖

At least one more doctor appointment in the next week. I still have all this anxiety and I really don't want to medicate it.

Do NOT have the autoimmune condition hydritis supperativa, just a susceptibility to all kinds of infections. But they are gone and most of THAT pain is gone. I'm back to RA pain

Mae Jemison shattered barriers ,not just for Black women,but for every child told not to dream beyond the limits others place on them. In a country still fighting over whose history & humanity matter, her legacy reminds us that excellence, intelligence, courage can never be erased. #SheShed

COGE and Project 2029 are both stupid names for the same reason—we need new ideas to build a new world, and slightly altering the names of fascist programs does not give the impression you’re changing much.

DC is currently under military occupation and experiencing heightened federal policing — and our June primary is already underway. On June 8 and 9, learn how *everyone* can help keep voting safe this June with trainings from the DC Election Protection coalition. freedcproject.org/news/volunte...

We have a porch music festival tomorrow and I think I'm going to make my husband haul these chairs we don't want outside with a "free" sign. There's music on the porch directly across the street

Trump is petty and so are all of his thieves and liars. I don't want a bloody cage fight in my city in front of the White House and I certainly don't want Trump Kennedy Center, or a bizarro race downtown or any of these weird 'Merica-themed carnival events

Paxton only returned the stolen pen after the courthouse security cameras showed he was the one who took it.

Asserted the rest of us, "Anyone who is a working writer today who sits in front of a computer, either doing longform or on deadline or at magazines, whatever the cadence of your work is, you're being told AI is the future as if it's inevitable at least in part because of assholes like Rosenbaum."

I am doing a Last Chance Sale for products at my store Bibipins that I want to sell quickly to create space for new products. A lot of these may never come back so here's your chance!! My biggest sale EVER! Store: Bibipins.com

KR's graduation is next week and A is "stepping up" to middle school. I can't find them free shoes from anywhere. About to post on one more listserve bc I am starting to feel really desperate My only client asked me to do additional work, then never paid me. We've had a working relationship 8yrs

Our summer interns brought the goat herd outside for some grazing in the shade! Most of the goats you see here came from a small dairy in New Hampshire that was shutting down. The dairy was going to put them all down, but instead they are here today grazing in the sunshine with new friends. 💕

Misogyny often goes unnoticed? No it fucking doesn’t!

The Economy being good means nothing to me because it's a measure of how confident assholes feel in their line going up, and everything they do to make the line go up hurts me and devastates everyone who's doing worse than me. This isn't fucking rocket surgery.

This is what the “DC Safe and Beautiful Task Force” looks like. Unjust arrests, pointing guns at bystanders, and making threats that “there’s a whole surge coming.” DC communities don’t want more of this. We need this to end.

My RA pain is back and it's been raining for days. Feels like somebody is physically pushing down on my shoulders Next week I see my RA place, but my Dr left the practice and his PA is going to just help plan care transition. I don't think this year is going to be cheaper than brain surgery
