Folks folks folks the day started with Peter the Painter and it ends with... HOME MADE HAMSTER HOUSE. In the bigger picture of awful, the details are wonderful.

"These types of observations are things that humans can uniquely contribute" 😻🌒

This is essentially what I wrote to my cowardly-ass* senators today

There is a path. It’s the path that Michael Vick walked. He has worked with the Humane Society for the last 17 years to educate folk about animal cruelty. He says he’ll do that work for the rest of his life. Call me when Louis or Kanye devotes even one weekend to making reparation.

GREAT GOOGLY MOOGLY

Your employer didn’t always treat you like shit on general principle. More than half the country has laws that make unions illegal! People used to be trained on the job! Private equity didn’t just buy every successful business, sell the real estate to itself, and rent it out to the employees!

Mexico’s overwintering monarch population grew 64% this winter, with butterflies covering their largest area of forest since 2018. The recovery remains fragile, but suggests there’s been a positive impact from conservation efforts in the butterflies’ core habitat. buff.ly/XoPKQ9d #ShareGoodNewsToo

sources inside the white house say the president has locked himself in the bathroom and is not responding to j.d. vance scratching at the door and whining

me: why does no one take my threats seriously? my threats:

I was just outside getting some landscaping advice from my neighbor, age ~8, who feels that I should definitely put in some "cute little garden statues."

and i gotta tell you, as someone who looks out at them pretty much every day from the seawall on the other side, i have never seen buildings that seem to fit so well with their surroundings.

I am a medieval historian!! The world always is in a state, it has never not been in a state, joy and delight and beauty is what humanity exists for

The last 24 hours marked the highest number of U.S. aircraft shot down in a single day since Vietnam Trump did that.

It costs 0$ to Repost a Black disabled queer small business! It could lead to my next sale. Here's new patterns for my carbon fiber foldable walking sticks!! Each pattern needs to sell at least 50 each to make them a reality!! Or else I'll have to refund them. Please support! Store: Bibipins.com

When I was 13 years old, my Bible teacher told me in front of class that it was my personal responsibility to convert my Catholic grandfather or it would be my fault that he would spend an eternity in hell. Just a terrific junior high experience among those hateful lunatics.

And if Dems are worried they’ll do it and then lose reelection because of it—which is an utterly bonkers notion at this point tbh—oh well, too bad, jump on that fucking grenade you useless piece of trash

Rooftop solar has come out of nowhere and is now 20% of Puerto Rico's energy generation mix -- more than natural gas.
