When I say you don’t know how truly unhinged Threads is until you’re on Threads, I mean it.

Christ, this (from Lizza's latest) is pretty fucking damning of...literally the entire media(?) What the fuck?

Ok here’s the thing. This is NOT a village. This is a nuclear family. By being like “we only need each other!” you’re not being cute, you’re enforcing the idea that women shouldn’t need any support outside of their own home, and if they do they’re failing. I hate this.

This is why, last year, I had a weird little section in my campaign’s policy platform where I specified that there is a group out there that does NOT want what everyone else does - a group whose primary political commitment is causing harm and suffering for their own amusement.

You won’t believe how many batteries you’ll need once you have children. For years I used 4 maybe 6 batteries a year and now I’m at Costco buying a pack of AAs every 6 months.

Margaret Preston, Banksia cobbs, 1933, Art Gallery of New South Wales. A black vase contains stems of Australian banksia pods, with dark stiff lobes and bristles, and thin green serrated leaves. The pods and leaves appear to writhe with dark shadows and starkly illuminated surfaces.

Sometimes I see parents saying stuff like “I don’t allow my children to eat bananas because they have too much sugar” and I just think. How did you arrive here. What made you like this

My kids aren’t iPad kids, they are make a massive mess and chaos everywhere they go kids (the only two options)

Someone said shop local bc otherwise teenagers first jobs will be in an Amazon warehouse instead of an ice cream shack on the beach and now I can't stop thinking about that

Ok, you got me with this one.

Kids are so funny and different. My two-year-old has developed no emotional attachment to any of her toys—to the point where her dad is almost offended that we can seamlessly swap out her teddy bear for a bunny and she’s like “whatever”

Can’t wait for August when I’m going to make an infographic that says “holding space for the mothers of human children who don’t have a dog today.” People would come for my NECK!!!!

People are arguing that you should be able to fit 3 car seats in the back of most cars, which sounds great! But then I’m left wondering: how the F would you be able to reach the center one and strap the kid in? Like, the logistics don’t seem to work?

happy mother's day

Paging @chaykak.bsky.social / Filterworld

Happy Mother’s Day to those who are child-free by choice is WILD

My husband asked my kids to say why I’m a good mom and my 2yo said “you go down the slide” and honestly that might be the nicest thing anyone’s ever said about me. I do go down the slide. 😭

A PLANE?!?! My dad turned down tickets to a BULLETS game when he was chief of staff of the senate foreign relations committee! And this guy accepts A PLANE?

Moms are great. Most moms I meet are working so hard with so little acknowledgment. Moms today are expected to do so much more, and are judged for anything and everything. They are blamed for so much while thanked for so little. We love, thank, and respect moms under this roof.

Someone posted that the "it's gonna be May" Justin Timberlake meme had gone out of fashion this year and I just hope all the "happy Mothers day to cat owners and dads and people who dont want kids" memes are next

I’m still baffled at how America took one of the basic principles of the presidency — the occupant shouldn’t be able to benefit financially from the office — and just said, nah, that just doesn’t count for this one guy.

happy mothers day 🪺

The only day of the year I see more dads than moms at the playground is Mother’s Day!

Really enjoyed talking to Katie White about her article on the history of the frame and artists exploring the frame as a creative space open.spotify.com/episode/3Eci...

great art world reporting from @rachelcorbett.bsky.social www.vulture.com/article/art-...

Brooklyn bus stop ads being replaced with guerilla public service announcements.

Nice restaurants love to have a dessert called like “Milk and Cereal” or “Donuts and Coffee” and it’s their little take on what if those things cost nineteen dollars.

humans are not designed for the amount of feedback being a public figure on social media provides. Whether it's praise or criticism, receiving an avalanche of nonstop attention is profoundly corrosive to your brain.

We talk a lot about social media radicalizing the population but it's been far more efficient at radicalizing public figures.

🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 literally any 🕯 good news 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯

there’s a style of reporting that’s basically like “the left hasn’t been duped by the transparently bad faith framing of the right, but I, the reporter, very much have.”

every day at circa 10am I fight the most important battle of my day, as my brain tricks me into thinking that being home and working under a blanket is soooo nice but unfortunately I know from past experience that if I've not made it to the cafe and interacted with people by 11am the Madness sets in

In 2017 I was recovering but was still stuck in eating disorder thought loops. A friend told me to write myself words to say to myself when I got swept up in a loop. I wrote this prayer & repeated it many times a day. It really, really helped.

I’m riding the subway and had to change seats because of the smell of patchouli wafting off the hipster (do we still call anyone that?) who sat next to me. A first!

Ok this article has a great point about the “Guess How Much I Love You” style books which I kind of hate (but also cry while reading)

Getting to see Hallie’s day to day sketches of her wonderful life and art is such a gift!!

This thread of things to do with kids in DC is PERFECT and exactly what I need, considering we’ll be down there a few times this year.

It is honestly wild to me that Republicans cooked up a bill that would prohibit D.C. from spending more than $1 billion of its own budget, devastating our city services out of pure spite, *and Senate Democrats might actually vote for it.* Utterly appalling. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Marco Rubio is like having Tom Wambsgabs as Secretary of State, a man whose ambition is to be an empty suit, on board to take any stance, say anything, whatever the boss wants, and sponge up some of the pain that comes back, all for the trappings, the title, the plane rides, the suits, to be there.

It's incredible that every parent is on the exact same sickness schedule. Same!!!!!!!!!

A race see which happens first: hurting so many people including their own voters that there’s a massive public backlash or dismantling democratic institutions to the point they can keep power despite public discontent.

Solidarity with other parents of picky toddlers, my two year old brings me to my KNEES. The only vegetable matter she ever consumes is in pouch form. Tonight she ate a frozen waffle (mostly still frozen) for dinner.

I’m going to have a nervous breakdown if all the content I consume here is focused on politics. Please recommend more art, culture, and pop culture-focused accounts on Bluesky, please!

I’m glad someone is offering an alternate argument on this topic, and look forward to listening! Resharing (in part) as a reminder to myself to put it on the next time I’m commuting or taking a walk.

this seems..overconfident "bad things" = potentially permanent damage to labor rights, environmental law, consumer protection, civil rights, public safety, and millions of avoidable deaths

I will never forgive the people who bought into the "government should be run like a business" bullshit.

A high water mark! I love this mashup from the always great @artbutmakeitsports.bsky.social 💛💙

Would not have expected something like this in the FT.
