mitch mcconnell is suspended in a gelatinous cube right now and we aren't sure if he's alive but everyone is too afraid to get close and check

the fourth of july??? as for me and my house, we will celebrate the feast day of saint pier giorgio frassati.

sometimes i’m just out & about enjoying myself & i think, this is what they’re trying to take from us. this beautiful moment, having a traditional ethiopian coffee service at a tiny restaurant in a strip mall in a little appalachian town, this is what those reactionary freaks want to take from us!!

who could be the thomas jefferson to his john adams? donald JOHN trump and william JEFFERSON clinton? really makes you think.

one fun thing about this decision from the vatican is it does technically excommunicate augustus invictus, the nazi lawyer who is very involved with his SSPX parish. suspended from the florida bar & excommunicated from the catholic church in the same year. that’s rough!

peach boys

lmao ronaldo mad as hell

What if Chekov made the whole play out of the gun

i had a few more thoughts about this and unfortunately that led to me watching the new uwe boll movie

New Weird Little Guys: I Watched Uwe Boll's Far Right Power Fantasy So You Don't Have To 🎞️ This week, Molly watched Citizen Vigilante, a new film from the world's worst director. @socialistdogmom.bsky.social @whysophiewhy.bsky.social linktr.ee/weirdlittleg...

"feels like 109" ok well I feel like a wet sock that's been in the dryer for about a minute and a half.

Hell yeah we are

it’s already too hot

YES! Well deserved honor. We are fortunate to have independent journalists covering events on the ground. Support Mel by subscribing to her newsletter. www.wordsaboutwork.news

im done with nuance. if u won't loudly love the trans women in your life like their life depends on it (bc it fucking DOES) then i don't want you in my life. there is no discussion. it's too late for "trans women are valid!" it has to be "i will fight for u as long as i live because i love you!"

To emphasize a point Snitty makes in her thread: Excluding trans kids from sports is about cutting them out of public life. The lies people pushed about "fairness" were a thin cover for anti-trans bigotry. For most athletes sports are about socialization. They're taking that away from trans kids.

i mean if the pope is gonna be excommunicating a bunch of guys tomorrow anyway, why not put some more names on the list. c’mon. as a treat, holy father. it would be fun and funny.

it’s so weird that we’re not all on the same page about minding our business and being normal about sex and gender. it’s so easy to just fucking chill out. just not my business, babe. no problem!!!!

All my homies hate the Supreme Court

i have run out of things i can legally say about the supreme court

It was never about sports. We’ve been telling you guys for years. Sports were a means to an end. And here we are.

testing out some algae color combos. i feel like i can get there with the colors in my collection but i’m not sold on any of the first five attempts. maybe the dark blue base from the middle finger plus the flakie topper and sheer green jelly from the thumb?

oops i got so posting mad that i scrapped the half written draft i already had for something else and spent 16 straight hours writing about this because i had to get it out of my head immediately!! this is going to be an unusual episode, sorry in advance.

Reminder or recommendation that @socialistdogmom.bsky.social has done a fantastic series of episodes about the Afrikaner nonsense. Such as: www.iheart.com/podcast/1119...

The anti-immigrant, Islamophobic hate film CITIZEN VIGILANTE is #1 on Amazon after the world's richest racist, Elon Musk, spent the weekend using his captured platform, Twitter, to promote it. The reason Germany banned it is because they fear, rightfully so, it will incite hate crimes and violence.

It is my humble opinion that we should listen to the expert in weird little guys when she tells us things like this

it goes without saying that it's racist to refer to immigrants as "invaders" who must be met with lethal force, but the 'traitors then invaders' framing here isn't just xenophobia - it's a recurring theme in some of the most violent neonazi propaganda of the late 20th century.

a few times recently, i've recommended a book that was published under the author's dead name. i went with "[title] by [new name,] published under their former name, [dead name]" trans authors, what's your preferred way of navigating this? I don't want to deadname, I do want people to find the book!

prop is, as always, cooking with this one. this is an important corollary to the episode of my show a few weeks ago on the history of the “outside agitator.” only prop could make it sound like a compliment to call me a dusty fingered nerd 😂

My growing experience with Virginia FOIA laws is that exemptions for law enforcement are so broad that agencies can deny your request for basically any reason. With loopholes that big, the public's supposed ability to see public documents might as well not even exist.

my gray catbird friend is getting bolder and bolder. he doesn’t fly away when i come outside & sometimes carries on looking for bugs in the garden while i putter around a few feet away. he was hovering angrily outside last night after i swapped out the feeder for a new one, i think he was mad at me.

he fears nothing

i meant to take care of this three months ago and now i have 2 days left.

it’s great that my neighbor has some new endeavor that requires a 5:40am wake up time. a new job? a workout routine? i’m not sure! all i know is the alarm he sleeps through every day means we all get to wake up at 5:40am to start our own day!

the nail polish girls never disappoint lmao

the birds are gardening, too

my two most beloved hobbies are at war with one another 💅👩🏼‍🌾

this is actually an integral part of the creative process. the blank page mocks me. i need to buy more dirt to play in.

we need to call up the members of van jones’ old maoist reading group like we’re assembling the goddamn avengers so they can hold the struggle session of the century

what if they fought back against republicans instead

Indigenous nations and people are at the forefront of the resistance contemporary fascism, from one so called border to the other.Colonialism is an ongoing process, it goes hand in hand with fascism. Far too often this goes unreported and unreflected upon.

bitch you can't be serious the fragility and pettiness of these people, who aren't content just to strip away people's rights they want to pretend they're Good and Just Doing Law, too, and are deeply offended when people acknowledge otherwise

On the night of June 11, 1963, Byron de la Beckwith murdered Medgar Evers with a single shot. But how did he end up hiding in a bush across the street from the home of a civil rights leader? @socialistdogmom.bsky.social @whysophiewhy.bsky.social linktr.ee/weirdlittleg...

they’re holding hands 🍅🥰🥒

I understood the Warren court was an outlier but I didn't understand it was different from its predecessors/successors in the way chanterelle mushrooms are different than deathcaps

it’s not a bad haircut per se, i just should’ve advocated for myself more clearly because i do not have the skill or patience to do what needs to be done every day to avoid looking like the berries & cream lad

it’s so funny that all i remember learning about the supreme court when i was a kid was about that brief moment in time when they did a couple of very cool things. that was an outlier. it’s a rotten institution.

Strewn along roadways throughout Ruckersville, dozens of abandoned vehicles sat empty Tuesday as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and Greene County Sheriff’s deputies stopped motorists and made arrests across the community. Here's what we know:

Cover bond payments for Virginians held in ICE detention by donating to the Central Virginia Community Support Fund, fiscally sponsored by Congregate Charlottesville.
