I can't really explain fully why this is the thing of all things that got my jaw on the floor but I guess it's such a literal symbol and also such a jaw dropping amount of money while small businesses are struggling to survive the tariffs Such a visible "go fuck yourself"

Spooky Season continues! And we’re joined by a special guest host, Sawyer WEBB! That’s right, Amanda and Sawyer got hitched, y’all. And now they’re going to teach us all about controversial couple and paranormal investigators, Ed & Lorraine Warren. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/r...

A bunch of government accounts joined Bluesky today, and it seems very likely they intend to trawl the timeline for statements they can spin as inflammatory or insidious. I’m denying them access to my posts, and I suggest you do the same. Here’s how to do it in one click.

Making the world safe from *checks notes* tamale vendors

It’s Spooky Season 2025! We’re kicking things off with a fascinating folktale that has inspired lots of scary stories over the years. Let’s learn about The Bell Witch! 👻 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/r...

yeah let's fucking GO.

he's a good governor

The state could have backed him but instead they demonstrated for the thousandth time that there is no level of respectability that will prevent white people from serving you up on a platter in order to appease powerful racists.

brb, gonna be emotional about Marc-Andre Fleury for a while 😭🌸💛

🚨BREAKING NEWS: Congresswoman files articles of impeachment against RFK Jr. We've been sounding the alarm for months, sending 3k+ quack-o-grams, and collecting 25k petition signatures calling on our reps to impeach & remove RFK Jr. We’re closing in on him. Help us WIN the fight. 🦆 zurl.co/vkZQV

"No hate, no fear! Immigrants are welcome here!" Absolutely massive crowd at the New Yorkers Against ICE march. Blocks long!

I love walking into my local coffee shop and having my barista say “it’s your season!” cause she knows how excited I am for fall treats. And that’s on ✨community✨

“I use it for brainstorming.” is quickly becoming my most hated pro-AI statement. YOU TOOK YOUR BRAIN OUT OF THE EQUATION. THAT IS NOT BRAINSTORMING.

Friday: a prosecutor is forced to resign bc he concludes there's not enough evidence to go after Trump's perceived enemies Saturday: Trump makes public post asking Attorney General why she hasn't gone after his enemies Wednesday: DOJ says enemy indictment coming right up sir do I have that right?

We continue our celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month with this week’s episode all about one of our favorite people: Roberto Clemente! We also count how many times Anna accidentally pronounces his name with a Pittsburgh accent. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/r...

Happy 71st Birthday to Ruby Bridges, who at the age of 6 desegregated the New Orleans public schools. She’s younger than 30 senators and our last two presidents—and only 7 years older than Barack Obama. The past isn’t past.

this exists it is called thinking

lmao bsky.app/profile/syns...

every covid shot still feels like a goddamn miracle

Damn, they really drove Jerry to quit. Dark times, indeed.

The whole left/right/center metaphor for politics needs to get in the bin. It is the most thought terminating cliché of all. People do not think and behave on a coherent spectrum. There is no "center", no middle ground. A reasonable negotiated compromise does not exist for every issue or position.

lmao.

Q. Why is there a special election in the Minnesota House tonight? A. Because the Democrat who held the seat was assassinated in June. www.the-downballot.com/p/morning-di...

"They're politicians, what are they supposed to do? Literally fight in the streets?" Unashamed to say this made me cry.

they are vaccine deniers tbh

I wish I could believe this dude blatantly lying to congress under oath in a seeming effort to memory hole *Jeffrey Epstein's As A Whole* would matter even a little bit at all. I mean… the sheer fucking temerity to claim there's "There is no credible information" of Epstein trafficking children… jfc

Everything is terrible, but at least there’s homemade apple butter

Feel like I’m going insane with the revisionist history that Charlie Kirk fostered open debate. He chilled speech and his targeting of professors for wrongthink led to threats, harassment, and being forced out of their jobs. His legacy is chilling speech right now, about him

MY TINY LITTLE TOWN IS GETTING A YARN SHOP AND NOTHING ELSE MATTERS

The wall to wall Charlie Kirk coverage is a nightmare, but if it helps, we seem to forget all of our shooting victims pretty quickly in America.

Someone shot up my kid's school today, and our governor is paying tribute to a guy who thought that is an acceptable price to pay for having the Second Amendment. Jared Polis has failed Colorado.

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

i do not think it can be overstated at this point that we do not know who killed charlie kirk or why they did it.

It's amazing how quickly the semiotics of a major event get out of control. A famous man was shot to death in public today and we're talking about talking about talking about talking about talking about a famous man getting shot to death in public. I can ✨feel✨ how bad and unproductive all this is.

It’s almost Hispanic Heritage Month! And apparently, we still want to talk about labor unions. So let’s learn about one of the nation’s most influential Hispanic leaders: Cesar Chavez. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/r...

therapist: can you think of a time you experienced gaslighting? me:

PSA: this week’s episode will be uploaded a day late. We’ve been under the weather, so the edit is taking a bit longer than usual. Sorry for the wait!

The lack of mainstream coverage of regular huge protests reminds me of a talk from a Twitter employees who explained that they had to drop BLM off the Trending Tags section because otherwise it would have been there permanently. The modern media environment has no appetite for sustained movements.

I keep typing words and then deleting them because none of them are sufficient to capture how utterly fucked up and unacceptable this is. And yet it won't move a single Republican to give a damn.

Same

Never ever ever. emdash.fan

I somehow misplaced an entire tube of chapstick today. I took it out of my bag, put some on, thought I put it back. Came back later and it was nowhere to be found. Like… not anywhere in my house. And consequently, I’ve spent the whole day feeling like I’ve lost my mind.

Just another normal day in hell

You: going about your day, thinking about normal things. Me: never getting over what they did to Cynthia aka Sister Mary Cynthia on Call The Midwife.

Hey, so, uh… what the hell?

Community is everything

I don’t know how to explain to people that the Mountaineer Marching Band (especially the pre-game show) makes me incredibly emotional.

We need one of those Times Square billboards keeping an up to date tally on how much it's costing taxpayers to appease Trump's authoritarian desires.

Oh, I’m getting that vaccine and that POS crypt keeper lookin ass can’t stop me
