My latest. "Do not allow your values to be captured and contained behind a screen in a cycle of inactive reaction. Jailbreak your cynicism and isolation, and escape your devices. Bring your hope, rage, and potential into the world."

THERE'S A NIA DACOSTA HEDDA GABLER?!

Just and should: if they’re integral to your sentence, and that sentence is about someone’s problem, consider simply not saying it. Even if the someone with the problem is you.

The federal government is enabling U.S. cities to criminalize public homelessness. But Kentucky has already learned the hard way that decreasing visibility only exacerbates homelessness. nextcity.org/newsletter/t...

Portland Frog Hat, inspired by the Portland Frog. FREE pattern on my website: pdxknitterati.com/pdxknitterat... 🧶 I knit this yesterday in front of the ICE facility, peacefully protesting with other knitters and painters. #knitting #froghat #craftivism #artifa #frogtifa #peacefulprotest

hey so for once there's an actual happy update to something our local ice cream guy came home and he's getting a green card

Have Disabled People Considered The First Solution Anyone Would Think Of? and Other Unhelpful Tips

for a time, calculators in the shape of floppy disks were a popular promotional item

King County just saw its highest mpox case count since 2022, with 45 new infections reported in September. The good news: the two-dose vaccine still works and is free at the Harborview Sexual Health Clinic. If you’re in a risk group, get your shots now.

I beat Hades II! idk how I feel about the ending yet

When people start missing paychecks & food stamps 1- stock every food bank and pantry you see 2 - remember whose choices and priorities caused this nasty ass heartless shit

I'm so annoyed there's a lot of places that won't mail things to the US anymore, including Hirbawi (the last kufiya manufacturer in Palestine). This didn't need to happen and I hate that nobody seems to be able to do anything about it

this is like inceptioning someone's dream after they've had nineteen long island ice teas

"They're not supposed to do that to ME" is not a position worthy of respect. "They should never do that to ANYONE" is.

Jeffries rn:

Hakeem Jeffries' endorsement of Mamdani is the most passive aggressive one I've ever seen. It notes areas of "disagreement" before saying he won "a free and fair election"

Every morning before the first cup of coffee

Every single one of you has shared in the joy this little peanut has brought me for the last 10+ years together. That alone is an unbelievable blessing, and I'm so grateful and thankful for you all *no matter how* we end up saying goodbye to her. Gentle soft nose nudges from Bart, and all my love.

humans were put on this earth to make and eat foods wrapped in pockets of dough. hope this helps 😊

found another gold quote without context in my gallery

Good morning from these Halloween goblins

Washington state is one of only 5 states that have a 100% vote by mail system in place, but some new USPS rules may affect when your vote actually gets counted in time.

“There's noise, so much noise, but there's also signal and the signal was that they were *here* that they were *everywhere*. Smash and grab jobs happening across the city nearly simultaneously. But the things being stolen aren't jewels, they're lives.”

"If you can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel, make some light where you are." @mskellymhayes.bsky.social ✨ organizingmythoughts.org/we-have-to-m...

I don’t really believe in “anti-racism” as a coherent thing BUT how you act when you are mad and/or drunk tells me a lot. A lot.

ICYMI: As a supplement to this season of @morecivilized.bsky.social, I've been doing a Let's Play of Knights of the Old Republic 2 (with the TSLCRM mod). It's been extremely fun (and funny, and hopefully thoughtful). I'm really proud of it, and this episode is (debatably) the climax.

When I become queen of the world I will have roving paramilitary forces patrolling buses and restaurants for people loudly playing shit on their phones. Summary public execution as warnings for profound discourtesy

The New York Times publishes a handy guide to which federal forces are terrorizing us at any moment. This is America, 2025.

dear US friends, when a sitting president (re)builds the seat of government, it almost always means the president has no intention of leaving at the end of term. your African friends with decades of experience

I’ve been watching it, and it does what all good works about fascists should do: shows them to be pathetic, insecure pieces of shit underneath it all.

It is absolutely ridiculous that there are literally no theaters showing Frankenstein in the entire city of Seattle. Still

among other things, mamdani is mostly running on stuff that is pretty specific to nyc, idk what national democrats would take from him besides "use government to benefit your constituents in ways that make sense to them" and "have the [regionally specific] juice"

replacing TVTropes with a website that's just single page with the sentence "Art is experienced in the body."

My most Old Man opinion is that TV Tropes is worse for kids than cigarettes and it led directly to A.I. and the slow bleed out of the publishing industry that is micro-genres.

Good grief why is Stellan Skarsgård cooking so hard?

Mamdani: "To be Muslim in New York is to expect indignity—but indignity does not make us distinct. It is the tolerance of it that does."

Mamdani: "More than one million Muslims in this city, existing while being made to feel that we are guests in our own home. No more."

you mean to tell me there's a guy in Illinois running specifically on defending trans rights and his last name is "BLAHA"??? chat do you think he knows?

SNAP recipients: now is a GREAT time to learn how to lock and unlock your EBT card, to prevent theft if your card is skimmed, and to offer to help others learn to do it. Search "lock your EBT card" and your state. Massachusetts residents, an example for your state: www.mass.gov/info-details...

oh i'm in love

I second this cause every single post of ours gets marked, thanks adorka for pointing it out haha

SCOOP! Post reporter Paige Winfield Cunningham obtained documents showing that average Obamacare premiums are set to spike 30 percent. This escalates the stakes of the government shutdown fight over soaring insurance costs wapo.st/477rixd

Appreciate this from @rachelgilmore.bsky.social Anyone who's ever heard me talk about the Xtra TikTok has heard me say our competition isn't other news outlets—it's influencers delivering the same content faster and more relatable, without the "rules" of journalism. thetyee.ca/Opinion/2025...

LRP: Perhaps I will throw "There will be dancing and feasting / in Jerusalem next year" into the potential tattoo pile

I've been thinking about this performance of @themountaingoats.bsky.social and Stephen Colbert a lot lately: youtu.be/T_qkVPZ8DJI?...

The name riffs on @shing.bsky.social's wonderful keepsake game, A Mending. In A Sending, you use watabou's Medieval Fantasy City Generator to procedurally generate a city and then write a postcard based on your imaginary stay there!
