Cannot emphasize this enough. It's why the NH Primary involves so much travel to coffee shops and house parties. Here, in the North, local work builds trust. (Rural Northern New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine have a lot in common - more than we do with our downstate cities.)

Plenty of data on Black immigrants in Maine here. They are the largest immigrant of color community in Maine. www.migrationpolicy.org/sites/defaul...

From @blackgirlinmaine.bsky.social, in a piece where she shares the words of other Black and POC Mainers who said things like: “White people love to tell Black people how they should respond and react to racism without checking themselves.”

When people ask for shipping supplies recommendations I do not hesitate to link refuseuline.com Quite literally I just reference this, there are so many options that are better and not evil.

Fuck you, Sam Altman, I already paid. Also, his first computer was a Mac in ~1993. He has no comprehension of what we had to do to make that possible. I want to poke him with my phreaking tools and feed him 1400 baud modem parts.

It's amazing how people who have no interest in funding their states and communities nonetheless cannot quit preferring the amenities of better-funded states/ communities. I think we've found the burdensome freeloaders who feel entitled to take without contributing.

If anyone would like to see a photo of a very happy doggy with his favourite dog toy, then this is your lucky day.

This is Nacho. He has big feelings. Every stuffed animal he owns is very aware of this. 14/10 (IG: nacho_thekneadydog)

Bemoaned the increasing rarity of diner mugs the other day and followed a suggestion to check out Discovery Coffee in B.C. MY MUG IS HERE AND I LOVE IT. If anyone else knows where I can get diner mugs in Canada, please holler!

"...one of the most important things parents of children with disabilities can do is to think twice and ask for consent before sharing personal information, stories, or photographs about their child." 1) hard agree 2) honestly think in many cases it's better to simply not share at all

and a very happy Glorious Twenty-Fifth of May to you all

Don't just use the summary from a FB post - @myra.bsky.social is here. This paper can be found at: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... She is doing a LOT of work in this area and that deserves attention.

Put kid socks in zippered "lingerie bags". They don't get lost, eaten in the wash, or stuck to PJ's. It's extremely easy to mate them up too.

If you don't want to wait until July 1st, we're currently looking for sponsors who can help cover shipping on some special items we've requested from creatives. Here's one example, printed by one of the lovely printers we met while printing whistles!!! secure.actblue.com/donate/spons...

This. Is. BRILLIANT.

The Velveteen Rabbit. I sobbed. I still weep thinking about it (literally, this post, tears). He is sweet and lovely and well-loved and they burned him.

On the wall in my father's office used to be a printout of a message sent by my mother in 1983: If you ever leave me in the hands of Greek painters again, I am leaving you forever. Why? Because while he was in Germany, she could send him a DM from the USA. Proof ARPANET could be used by normies.

This is so so so important. Take the few minutes it takes to read it and be prepared for summer swimming.

Alaskans pay higher costs for slower internet speeds than most Americans. The government has spent billions of dollars of public money to try to fix the problem, and we want to know how it’s really going in your community. Help us report:

SpaceX rocket explodes in the Indian Ocean today, and Musk calls it successful… One minuscule small step for mankind, another giant leap of Musk’s wealth and his assault on oceanic life.

if you have other photos or video of patriot front that *you personally took* and can attest are from today, please reach out. goad has tracked these images down to their origin point - these pictures have been reposted elsewhere without attribution, making it difficult to track sightings

Hey, #uglydogs - can anyone help with this? Urgent appointments like this are frequently more expensive than a regular office visit and that's before we get to the costs of tests.

I asked my cat Otis, and she said I'm not allowed to go to bed until we sell 11 more shirts because that will get us to a nice round 200 (which will be 18% of the way to funding our fall bug mural project!!!) So idk, I think you need a shrimp shirt. Get one at SquidFacts.net

Pour one out. He may not have been internationally known, but he was known to rock the microphone.

my guy lost. just gutted. ICE said they think they can deport him by the end of the month. if I'm going to post my wins, I think it's only fair to be honest about how brutal and hollowing it is when I lose.

INBOX: USCIS will only grant adjustment of status in “extraordinary circumstances” — those seeking a green card must do so outside the country.

What if instead of anxiety and depression we had... BURROWING OWLETS 🎉 🪶 🐣

This is a cat checkpoint: show the most recent cat photo on your phone.

Can we use alt text so I can just mute the names of notable dipshits without them popping up because some screen shot them in the midst of dipshittery?

relevant in many areas!

With the release of The Mandalorian and Grogu, we are going to see a big uptick in adoptions. As someone who works in Grogu rescue, I will remind you: when you adopt a Baby Yoda, you are committing to its 𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘭 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘯. Grogus can live up to 900 years. They can also move shit around your apartment.

No but like seriously everyone go pay for journalism. Pay NPR or if not us pay someone else. Just please pay someone or else seriously all these big ships are going to keep slowwwwwwly sinking.

#immunosky I'm skeptical that nonspecific effects of vaccines can be explained by trained immunity. If you'd humor me (longish 🧵): Trained immunity refers to sustained changes in how cells of the immune system function (more or less responsive) because of epigenetic imprinting.

Heads up. He is/was in a lot of starter packs, too, so check yours if you've made one so you're no longer recommending a rapist.

#uglydogs, I need your help. Yesterday I took in Akielah, a 6 years old husky whoae humom died of pulmonary embolism. Turns out she is not spayed and needs vaccines, which I cannot pay for right now since I went back to school

Here's the Star Tribune report on today's charges (including the charging documents) against an ICE agent in connection with the Jan. 14 shooting of a man: www.startribune.com/ice-agent-ch...

I was unable to raise anything yesterday. I need to make a payment on my power bill, replace some necessities, and pay towards rent. Today I am trying to raise $125. Thank you for sharing and donating, anything is a huge help. #helpsky #mutualaid #transcrowdfund #helpfolkslive

I know shit sucks, but I just read the extended weather forecast and if it holds, I can safely plant *this weekend*! First up, wildflowers and pollinator-friendly annuals from the Vermont Wildflower Farm as we rewild a meadow that held dilapidated chicken sheds and trash on the bank of a creek.

May 18, 1980 | “A Big Black Cloud.” Unless you were near the mountain, the first sign was the sky. A towering black mushroom cloud rising fast, blotting out the sun. In Cowlitz County, emergency dispatchers began fielding calls, including from Sheriff Les Nelson. Piecing it together in real time.
