Aesthetics and gender all the way down (derogatory)

it looks worse for bernie and warren that they refuse to call this guy out for being the flat-out ass that he obviously is. can not a SINGLE elected official say, "i was wrong"?

I put my ballot in a drop box Thursday and it still hasn't been marked as received. This whole thing sucks.

This week's @screensleuthspod.bsky.social episode is on DIAL M FOR MURDER, so it's time for another classic cocktail: the Sidecar. Sweet and a gorgeous shade of pale gold, I can't wait to order this the next time I'm out! www.instagram.com/reel/DZDskn4...

Imagine being so unable to love your child that you set fire to the whole damn world instead.

NO.

oh, the great conundrum of The Oil Change Place: sit next to the guy relentlessly sucking his teeth OR in the chair where you already found five spiders crawling on you

Air conditioning is unapologetically a good thing because it helps people not die. And one good thing about air conditioning is that it largely needs to run during the day when solar power is at its maximum: it can and should align with clean energy goals.

how lucky we are to live in a world where @judedoyle.bsky.social lets us read his work

i love instagram so much because it has such incredible esteem in my financial situation. instagram thinks i can afford a five thousand dollar rocking chair. is it the most beautiful rocking chair i have ever seen? yes! of course! i had never thought a five thousand dollar rocking chair could exist!

i think it should be a baseline that you can't call yourself a progressive if you're a racist misogynist islamophobic antisemitic queerphobe but that does not seem to be the baseline for... a lot of people

my 9th grade english teacher closed out EVERY SINGLE YEAR telling her class that she was to blame for her own rape and i still pity/hate that woman with every fiber of my being my 12th grade history teacher told the boys on prom day that no doesn't always mean no. he's dead. not by my hand, ALAS.

The rules require that I post this poem whenever the topic of pockets in women's clothing comes up.

i'm sorry, i need to take a breather because i just saw a woman on instagram rail against dresses with pockets because they make your hips look 1" bigger ONE INCH AN INCH??? AN INCH IIIIIIIIIIIIIINCH

Hi, expert on far-right extremism here, a history of domestic violence and misogyny is one of the strongest predictive variables for violent extremism, especially on the right. We've been raising the alarm on this for DECADES but no one cares.

i genuinely wonder who art directs these kinds of stock photos

is LIVE AND LET DIE actually good? not especially. is it a song with ROCK XYLOPHONE? yes. NOBODY DOES IT BETTER gets stuck in my head for weeks at a time; gotta give it up for a Hamlisch banger DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER. nothing else needs to be said.

me, when we first moved into the house: why did this lady decorate with so many pomegranate things? the yard:

people talk about things you can't do in kids' movies anymore but one thing you REALLY can't do in kids' movies anymore is name a hockey coach after two brands of gin because he's an alcoholic

A bispecific monoclonal antibody. Remarkable.

help, there's expensive wallpaper that recreates the murals at bemelmans's bar and i simply should not be coveting it as much as i am because it would be VERY IRRESPONSIBLE for me to get it

the receptionist at my vet in ojai once regaled us with every plotline to every HIGHLANDER movie and several of the tv episodes as well. the doctor was approximately 90 and looked like he routinely helped birth foals. it was the best vets office id ever been to.

deeply considering just turning my home into a cabinet of curiosities museum

today got too stupid

i turned my ballot in at a ballot box yesterday morning and it still hasn't been marked as received 🫨

for everything that is wrong with the internet, sometimes you slip into a corner of threads where you can see the dad from THE NANNY fight with christofascist right wingers about the age of the shroud of turin

I wrote an entire fictional book about this happening two years ago. The idea that they would steal your face then blackmail you into purchasing their product was such an obvious endpoint of where AI was heading that even I, an idiot, knew it was coming

Wonderful author @msemilyedwards.bsky.social kinda liked SEVEN ANGELS also.

are the refs on OKC payroll or something

They are, for now, not allowed in my city and I am now even more relieved.

SEVEN ANGELS, my Southern crime novel with good folks who struggle at times, bad guys who victimize and people caught in between - including a Ukrainian girl on the run from a Russian human trafficker - comes out Monday. You can still preorder everywhere: www.amazon.com/Seven-Angels...

you know the kid lit publishing controversy that actually exists and I'd like you all to get on? The lack of marketing & publicity support for books by marginalized authors that don't sell and then are used as proof to not acquire more books from those authors.

Every time I hear Paul Simon's "All Around The World Or The Myth Of Fingerprints," my brain goes "Over the mountain/down in the valley/ there are some helpful hardware folk" and it makes me laugh EVERY TIME

#ResistanceRoots Dashiell Hammett was born on this day in 1894 in St. Mary’s County, Md. He pioneered hard-boiled detective fiction by drawing from his real-life experiences as a detective for the Pinkerton Agency. Those same experiences ultimately drove his radical, left-wing politics. /1

Salinas CA farm workers are harvesting strawberries in the rain. "We must keep working in this weather, otherwise we'll lose our jobs. It's difficult because our clothing gets wet. The cold makes it worse as we get the shivers. But we can't afford to lose our jobs." #WeFeedYou

Kalief Browder spent years in Rikers after being accused of stealing his own backpack

this is incredible

this fucking sucks ( from the creator of the cupcake character, lorynbrantz instagram - www.instagram.com/p/DY2v_qXIoQt )

someone, and by that i probably mean @carlylane.bsky.social, needs to write a thing on why this show seems to be hitting so hard for older millennial women

today went downhill fast at least it's widow's Bay Day

is there a way to stop my cat from walking around screaming every single morning from about 8am to noon

one of the best things about detective fiction is that detectives are supposed to be *at best* average looking people

The Ron White line "I had the right to remain silent, but I didn't have the ability' lives rent free in my head

trying to utz yourself into professional spaces where you would like to be without being the annoying person everyone hates
