I was making soup last night and the recipe called for 5 potatoes cubed. 125 potatoes seems a bit excessive, doesn't it? #joke

Who would have guess the King of England would come an lecture Congress and the U.S. President on history? On keeping the executive in check???

These five librarians are running for state political offices across the country. Here's why they're running, and why librarians make good candidates. bookriot.com/librarians-r...

The early albums always make me happy. Michelle and Hard Days Night always hit.

On this day in 1898, Septima Poinsette Clark was born. She became a tireless advocate for education and civil rights. Martin Luther King, Jr., called her the “Mother of the Movement.” Her motto was “literacy means liberation.” #WeTheMen

I did my yoga at noon today, hoping that one day I will be a person who rises early enough that I can work out before going to work. Even though I leave for work at 6:45 am. Even as I type this, it seems highly unlikely.

Brooklyn is amazing and so expensive, and I walk around that place like I am constantly looking at ghosts.

Hey, so ICE is still kidnapping and disappearing people in the United States. Just because they got quieter about it doesn't make it okay. Abolish ICE. Chinga la Migra.

Sticking to buying book art at bookcon because the markup on the actual books is wild and thats sad.

Great advice. Would add: Wear comfy shoes and bring your patience.

Every teacher lady in the city is at Bookcon today, lol. This is WILD.

One person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress beforehand, or our allies, or coherently explain to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this and refuses to act.

Got on metro north and someone acted like I was a different species because I was reading an actual, physical book. Sigh.

Missing my elders today. Grab your moms and hug aunties and uncles and hug them today.

I don’t miss this version of me, but I do miss this version of my family. We were the MOST 90s. ❤️

This war is more likely to end up doing regime change in America than in Iran

Texas keeps failing to release people from jail when their time is over, leaving people languishing there unable to be released www.texastribune.org/2026/03/19/t...

It's kind of crazy to figure out in your 40s that you were missing out on active recovery and that's part of why you burned out on exercise all the time. Huh.

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective. He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone. But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

I don't know who needs to know this... but... A VPN is not a privacy application. It doesn't hide your location data, specifically. It doesn't encrypt your data, specifically. All it does is route your traffic through a single server somewhere else. Let me explain. Or don't, this is the internet.

U.S. CENTCOM: “we’re only concerned at shooting at everything that is shooting at us.” So a battalion of 165 schoolgirls was shooting at the Americans?

The way people set up camp in my mentions when I said there was no way Platner was the only option...I agree with Munk, but also we are in fact in trouble because some of you would rather vote for a Nazi fanboy with a poorly done spin than look for literally anyone else.

I ugly cried during this last one. What a lovely way to reward long-time fans! What a journey for the characters!

Is Starfleet Academy just all bangers now.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1.5 trillion. Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits. The military industrial complex is cheering today.

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

Please share widely, #Blacksky! This is very, very scary. www.consumerreports.org/health/wigs-...

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

I made it back from the hall of science with the same number of kids as when I left. Job done.

School trip by bus. There are songs. And when we get back, im doing afterschool tutoring. Pray for me.

I need her to go ahead and put that book out so we can get this tour.

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

My Mother absolutely still has this somewhere in her house.

And why did I just catch the hating on La Joconde? Not that she is wrong, trying to go see it at the Louvre is a hassle.

So happy they gave us a clip, but why is the show dropping so far from now? Had me thinking it was going to drop soon when I saw we the drop (not to complain, and thank you, Rolin et al, for said clip.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRMd...

That is entirely too far off for me. Sigh. Bringing out every last iota of my inner Veruca Salt.

Anybody else feel like they are making a push with bots over here now? I just feel like it suddenly got so much more argumentative than before.

Have we already forgotten what happened in Iraq? Over 8,000 Americans killed. The deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians. Trillions of dollars spent. Nobody has explained how a war with Iran helps America. Because it won't.

I didn't rush to John's defense on Sunday. I wanted to listen to disabled folks AND because I wanted to hear from those who were actually there. And... I knew he would be defended. The whole world rushed to his defense and mainly only Black folks defended the dignity of Hannah, Delroy and Michael.

I had food poisoning over the weekend and my energy levels are so low right now. I had to go and try to shovel some snow (spoiler alert: it was actually ice and could not be moved by me, so I'm home and not at school) this morning and I am still so tired. Ideas are welcome

"Holy shit, did WE ever make the right decision" - The US Women's Hockey Team

JD Vance laughs as Trump refers to Minnesota's Somali community as "Somali Pirates" (low empathy, othering, racism). #BodyLanguageAnalysis #SOTU

The massive cuts he "touts" are only for the richest among us. The "Big Ugly Bill" doubled & even tripled the cost of health care for millions of Americans to finance the tax cuts for billionaires. U.S. billionaires got $1.5 T richer during Trump’s first year back in office #sotu #sotu2026

Dr. Aisha Harris, a family physician in Flint, Michigan, warned all of us about the lies we are about to hear in the #SOTU tonight: "America is sick. Patients are not better off. Families are not better off, and that's the real state of our union."

I have no regard for a man who rips parents away from children, deports families, & imprisons our babies. That's why I'm boycotting today's #SOTU & instead shedding light on the stories of our children terrorized by ICE. Because our children deserve a childhood free from fear.

People's State of the Union: Rep Yassamin Ansari (D-AZ) with Sonia Almaraz. Sonia's partner Yari, a legal green card holder with no criminal record, has leukemia and is being held in detention without medical treatment for over a year. #sotu #psotu #uspol #politics #immigration #ice

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes. $9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst". Renee Good and Alex Pretti were unavailable for comment….

Massie goes full beast mode today. Gets on the house floor, shreds the DOJ and starts naming names from the Epstein files.
