Self-care comes in various forms. Going out alone hasn't gotten old (at least not yet!), and is even a confidence booster

Unfortunately this is respectability politics, which is ultimately (you guessed it) gender

I miss Link. He was pointed commentary AND was also super funny. 😕

BlueSky shoutout on Abbot Elementary!

share a 90s movie you think deserves more love

While Phil Knight has kindly donated money to various orgs and institutions in Oregon, let’s not forget he's also dumping money to defeat Democrats.

Cleaned up my account a bit and muted some words. We’ll see how it goes, I guess!

“You’ll be visited by 3 spirits.” The spirits:

Post famous bathroom scene📺

for every twitter screenshot you subject us to, you need to also share how you're helping your community. sorry, I don't make the rules.

Besties, get the fuck off of twitter. It's been long past time, just stop. Any attention given to that cesspool is "good" attention to them. Stop engaging, stop sharing tweets and screenshots, just let it fade away into obscurity.

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

Living in the pnw as a brown woman, yep. And over the years, I've become much more selective about who I spend my precious time with/interact with.

really is incredible how often "men are having a problem, let's fix it using someone else's entire life" comes up. does the institute for family studies understand that children are whole complete human beings whose existence cannot be used as a coping mechanism for their fathers' anxieties? (no)

I was up late reading turkey takes on here. 💤😴 okay short work week, let’s do this.

You can get a turkey sandwich 365 days of the year, people just don’t cook a whole turkey on a regular basis because it’s the size of a subwoofer bsky.app/profile/ashw...

I 100% agree and would add that if you are hosting a holiday event and you do NOT have something festive, creative and delicious for your guests to drink without alcohol in it, you are actually an asshole don't make them drink tap water while everyone else has bespoke cocktails!

Cannot believe I just got called out by someone saying “I bet you read Bitch magazine”… Bitch I had a subscription to Bitch Magazine

We’re quickly approaching peppermint mocha/pine/pretty lights szn and I'm here for it. Used to loathe winter, but it’s grown on me. ✨🌲 #Yuletide

Zohran flip your hair again we need healthcare get him to give us healthcare.

STOP. This is a cute selfie checkpoint. You must repost with a cute selfie to proceed.

idk how to put this, but there's a level of solidarity and “protect your neighbor” culture in the south that the pnw simply can't compete with. I say this as a pnw girl through and through. If you are lucky enough to not have to worry about ICE + have the bandwidth for it, look for ways to help.

Now might be a good time to ask your immigrant neighbors if you can help with errands

breaking out the under armour from my ol’ ski days and going for an autumn hike. 🌲🍂

Q: "Why is nursing being dropped as a professional degree?" A: "Because 1 in every 20 nurses is Filipino. Because ~40% of the nurses in California are foreign born. Because ~60% of California nurses, are not white."

www.oregonlive.com/living/2025/... “Residents of Lakeview posed nearly-nude for the 2026 Outback Naked calendar, which is being sold to help raise money for the struggling town.” Love these small towns in Oregon. 💚🌲

Ignoring politics is a privilege

I watched a few episodes recently. Jenna Fischer did such a good job of playing the part—a miserable receptionist who has bigger dreams. The facial expressions during the uncomfortable convos with Michael. So easy to feel deeply bad for her for having an incompetent boss and shitty bf (before Jim).

i think everybody feels alone now that's manufactured btw

If you see this post, do it too 🩷 Pronouns: She/Her Height: 5’1” Shoe: size 5/5.5 Zodiac: Aries Smoke: I don't smoke Tattoos: 2 Piercings: 2 Fave Drinks: water, coffee (w/ creamer), and lemon Sanpellegrino

What if instead of Cyber Monday (aka Daddy Bezos Day), we did a Support Indie Media Monday? What are your favorite indie publications? Who are some of your favorite freelance and indie reporters and commentators? Can we make this a thing?

Mind you this exists because of assault. The bag is being blocked because other men are assaulting women at such high numbers that the company HAS to do something. The men in Japan aren't happy about the women only train cars either but, such is life.

pretty much 😆

Zohran Mamdani to release PSA video, "How to talk to your deranged racist MAGA uncle at Thanksgiving dinner."

This warms my heart. Seeing ppl confront ICE like this is just 🤌🏾 Eventually, ICE will be afraid to go to the south.

There are going to be pieces for years about how she’s communist lady Macbeth

Look on the bright side - it's a DORK TOWER THURSDAY! Contemplative new strip up now, at the Mothership: www.dorktower.com/2025/11/19/1... Repost, Reblog/Re-whatevs/Repeat, please and thank you!

Texas' abortion ban has killed another woman. Let's be very clear: Republicans are killing women. Democrats need to start calling them murderers loudly and often. www.propublica.org/article/texa...

Wolves are so cool 🐺 #TimelineCleanse

Now THIS???? is a white man! this is how you white man!!!!!!!!!

Years ago, when I was an out trans reporter in Congress, I couldn’t even get colleagues to commit to defending me if I was misgendered by a lawmaker

VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM, YOU FLAMING SHITBIRDS. WE HAVE, IN FACT, RULED IT OUT.

the last couple of weeks, I've either been tied up with homework or went out on work nights. It’s nice to get back to my one true love: binge-watching #TV shows. 📺

youtu.be/yknMJOgy2pA?... John Oliver is so fucking good at this. Many areas in the US rely on public media. #media

What is it with racists thinking they're still entitled to enjoy the food and culture? No joy for you, fascists. It’s like when homophobes like Mike Pence go to live theater shows without acknowledging the history of theater.
