Reason 1,372 to listen to Cheap Smut the podcast. The entire "It's like if the Midwest got freaky..." side quest during ep 108 had me crying. Thank you @cheapsmutpod.bsky.social for making my Tuesday silly.

Love is real in Minneapolis buckaroos.

Apparently Monster Mash was the theme for July. #booksky #spicyromance

Feeling silly, might read later. #booksky #monsterromance Are dinosaurs monsters? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Okay one more book finished for June. So sweet, no 3rd act breakup. The odds were 1:1 that these two dummies would get together. #booksky #ku #mmspicyromance

Here's what I finished reading so far in June! Hearts are favorites. Best new books: Whispers of the Deep, and Double your Standards. Favorite re-read: Praise, because that series is 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ #booktok #romancebook

The narrator for this audiobook has an Adam West quality to his voice and I really want him to say a bat-pun.

Can't they just settle this at the bottom of the ocean inside a shoddy submarine like all other good billionaires?

Nearly died today. My favorite 🌶️🌶️🌶️ audiobook started auto-playing when my car started. I was driving a coworker to a group lunch. It was thankfully in a tame part but 😅

Mr. Met's new muscles hit different after that episode of @cheapsmutpod.bsky.social

I’m following Churro the sloth on Fahlo and his average speed is 1 foot per hour 😍😭

You ever see a DIY tutorial and realize you live different lives than the person making it? I have an ORANGE CAT, I can’t be having unanchored shelving,or blankets with fringe! There are people that get scared when they hear a noise at night. I just know the orange menace has struck again.

As someone who spends a lot time thinking about the values I want to teach my kid (besides PLEASE DON’T EAT DIRT), the thing I keep coming back to is this: I want him to believe that the strongest, bravest thing he can do is give a shit about other people—especially ones who aren’t like him at all.

Let’s send a clear message: Minnesotans are ready to stand with LGBTQ+ communities. Join us at the Capitol on March 3 to rally & lift up our LGBTQ+ communities starting at 2pm. And use our action form to contact your Representatives and urge them to vote NO: secure.everyaction.com/2W5CePxD-kqO...

Governor Walz has it right. I miss hearing his plain, common sense talk.

Moms for Liberty, a hate group, has a form on the Dept of Education site where people can submit reports of schools teaching things they disagree with. How awful would it be if people made this form unusable because it is flooded with irrelevant information? www.ed.gov/about/news/p...

Kids are weird episode 583: Who is Rafael Lopez and why was my kid writing them a formal letter when she was 5? We found this in a notebook with her kindergarten stuff.

Watching Deep Space Nine reminds me that I need to send some fan mail to Nana Visitor. She’s so cool.

@cheapsmutpod.bsky.social You made my day with today’s episode. 💜Thank you for being a warm spot on this stupid cold MN day. 🥶

When I was little I thought it would be funny to name a dog DOG but pronounce it Dee-OH-jeee. It was a dumb name. But I have absolutely been pronouncing DOGE that way.

One of the best things you can do right now is read books. Buy them. Borrow them from the library. Gift them. Read history. Read fiction. Read science writing. Read anything that shows you the world is bigger than what fascists say it is. Read to remember why your resistance matters. 📚💙

The racist doge guy is just a “kid” but Trayvon Martin was a dangerous “man.”

I attended a town hall with our state representatives. They said they need to hear our stories. How have the actions over the past two weeks affected you, your family, your livelihoods? They are upgrading the system due to number of calls. Keep going! BONUS: Call your state attorney general too.

Finding moments to recharge is so hard. This is going to be long and it will be difficult but we must keep going. I cannot let mediocre people (term used loosely) without empathy outlive me. I must dance on their graves.

All journalists should work through this very good security checklist from Freedom of the Press Foundation. freedom.press/digisec/b…

The best way to get your senators’ attention right now is planning a visit to their closest office. We put together a toolkit with everything you need to make sure your elected officials are fighting back against the illegal Trump-Musk power grab: indivisi.org/choosetofight

CARTOON OF THE DAY

1 Do not obey in advance. 2 Defend institutions. … 15 Contribute to good causes. 16 Learn from peers in other countries. 17 Listen for dangerous words. 18 Be calm when the unthinkable arrives. 19 Be a patriot. 20 Be as courageous as you can. @timothysnyder.bsky.social #OnTyranny #DoNotObeyInAdvance

I love Star Trek. Worf’s character development is glorious.
