Oh no. 😆

Read what you want to read and don't worry about what you "should" read. Your time is finite, books are awesome and there millions more than you can possibly read in a lifetime, there is no reason to self inflict literary suffering.

Can't take credit for the awesome Amphifa logo, but the one I designed is free to use! Here's a png with no background. You can buy sticker paper everywhere and use a normal printer to print them out!

You can just share my video from me instead of sharing a screen recording of my video from a content farm account that isn’t on the scene btw.

Is this anything

If I had the chance, I'd ask the world to dance And I'd be dancing with myself, oh oh oh oh! youtu.be/FG1NrQYXjLU?...

They failed to mention he has the exceptional cankles of much younger elephant.

if you’re not Catholic, let me real quick tell you about the breathtaking audacity of bringing the monstrance with him a monstrance is a big bedazzled gold ornament with a round glass window in the middle where you put a consecrated wafer, usually the bigger ceremonial one and not the bite-size

Had dinner tonight with a friend who’s a middle school teacher in the southwest. They told me schools now have trainings for when ICE agents sweep through schools to take children, and it’s worse than active shooter trainings, because it’s the government kidnapping children. This is where we are.

somebody call adult rock and tell him to come get his dumbass kid.

An American Werewolf in London is 42 years old today. Here’s my little tribute to it (after Watterson)

You know the assignment 👍

Painfully accurate, to the detriment of the nation.

I'm delighted to be flying next to a quiet person quietly ignoring me and doing sudoku. Airlines should allow people to select introvert vs extrovert for seating preferences.

This is my dance about how much transphobes suck: www.youtube.com/watch?v=so2K...

Updated to Windows 11. The task bar is fixed in horizontal mode. Despite complaints, it looks like there won't be a fix. It is deeply annoying. *sighs in vertical*

The GOP bans books but campaigns on the 2nd amendment because they'd rather have a stray bullet go through your child's head than a thought they don't agree with.

I just would really like one dog-loving person to demand to know why the fuck Kristi Noem stupidly didn't keep her untrained bird dog puppy on a leash around birds, and instead blamed and shot the puppy for the obvious outcome.. Then follow up by asking if she's allowed to ever own a puppy again.

It's been waaaay too little hee hee the past decade.

LA: we will fight you. Chicago: we will fight you. PDX: we will make you endure week after week of of improv theater.

“A second inflatable frog has now been spotted wiggling through Portland.”

I was able to stay up to date on a lost, very young puppy about half an hour away and, when people searching hadn't turned her up after a day (in fairly cold weather), I drove my puppy-loving dog out to search. He found her in 15 minutes, alive and kicking.

Pretty sure Eleanor Roosevelt is dead

Every Trump Q&A sounds like Clippy trying to overthrow democracy.

Me (watching Halo): Hmm, not really familiar but this seems neat. Halo: *introduces an AI that wasn't requested or want, and forces its way into everything to "help"* Me: *click* (This is a sound old TVs used to make when turned off.)

Dismantling the system so this doesn't keep happening will take time, but in the immediate here and now, there is the option to derail the system (and the trolley). It's a last chance bid to save others. Kinda seems like the shutdown may be that last chance.

How about if you're a young, pregnant South American woman who just came here to work, were raped by your foreman, couldn't report it because this nation has criminalized immigration (because it's easier to exploit workers if you've disenfranchised them), and now have to risk deportation or dying?

Looks like a basket of Wilford Brimleys. Now eat your Quaker oatmeal so you don't get diabeetus!

"I agree with you about human rights, but..." Nope. This is where we part ways. There are lots of Dem politicians who support human rights, and there are lots who want to limit human rights. I'm not voting for the latter kind of Dem. We can do better, and we should do better. Rights for all.

Can you imagine where we'd be if we could get routine mass utilization of PPE, especially during peak seasons? We may have eradicated a flu strain entirely as a result of protective measures instituted against COVID. What if those of us who could mask, masked up? How many lives would we save?

Trump Administration orders another distraction from the Epstein files. I fixed your bad fucking headline

Good thoughts for Dolly Parton, who has spent a lifetime being one of our better angels.

Me: OK, brain, I have stuff to get done before my trip, how about you do us both a solid and let me foc- Brain: STUDIED NUCLEAR SCIENCE! TOOK ALL THE HARD CLASSES! PULLED SOME ALL NIGHTERS, GOT 'A'S, NOT JUST PASSES! Now things aren't looking great... I thought it would be better.

My brain wormed me with "The Future's So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades" and I'm trying to convince it that no, we don't need an update for the current state of employment for later gens. Although "$50 thou a year, my loans are in arrears" seems like a start.

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

OC, probably we should've applied the rule that said, if in a previous chess match you responded to loss by flipping the table, declaring your opponent a cheater, and encouraging everyone on your team to smash windows, throw chairs, and hang the refs, you were disqualified from future competitions.

I'M DYING WHY DID IT TAKE YEARS FOR THIS TO GET TO ME

Bluesky runs on vibes, juice, and Alf hog, do we really want to sour the vibes and prune the juice?

Good morning, B'sky

Would 110% scritch. Also, having discovered bison love good deep scritches, my chances of dying by wild bison have gone up significantly. Worth it.

When you know your cause is so righteous, you go into battle clad only in grace, and watch the enemy flee before you.

*snortle!*

OH NO

I think a lot about how some people have genuinely worked their way from poverty to wealth, and have done these beautiful things that make them happy. Same with Dolly Parton and her Imagination Library. And I think a lot of it is that they know and understand what it is to be without.

bsky moderation: don't wish ill on people. Jane Goodall: PUT THEM IN A MUSK ROCKET AND FIRE THEM INTO THE SUN.

Look, every generation has people who burn the candle at both ends, and maybe miss some quiet happiness. And every gen has people who get lambasted as lazy for deciding to enjoy life.

@anserdelira.bsky.social You had me at "porch goose" but I had to follow back on the excess weedeater line. 😂 Really, who HASN'T accidentally ended up with a surplus of lawncare necessities?

If there are not trials and convictions, if these Trump thugs do not experience very public consequences for actions they KNOW are wrong? We will never get this country back.

Welp this is the best thing I've seen online today. #SpreadLove

Yikes.
