and thanks to the brave efforts of the meiji emperor and the power of international commerce we can all enjoy Vermont Curry (the curry rice with a touch of honey and apple) from the comfort of out homes

They killed the Voting Rights Act today. Let's stop giving them our fucking money. Join the May Day Eve Cancel Party tomorrow and stop giving so many of your dollars to right wing billionaires. www.mobilize.us/indivisiblen...

AI chuds will lie that actually cars or the internet also had to be pushed this hard and: No they didn't. That isn't true.

Without saying your age, post your favorite film that released the year you turned 18.

Let's have a GARDEN thread. Show me your flowers or botanical gardens or what you see on your walks. We all need some beauty.

Looking back on my flower and snow post from four days ago, what a contrast with yesterday and today

i hope i get smart again some day. they don't tell you how dumb you'll feel when you're menopausal. how you won't be able to remember words. how you'll think you have early onset dementia. they don't tell you about all that. harrumph

April snow! After this do we finally get real spring?

Some spring flowers! Winter aconite in my front yard

They have received their reward in full. Matthew 6:1-6

Got a heating oil delivery today. Ran out of my prepaid oil for the year which was locked at $3.64, probably because of that long cold wave. Oil is now $6.80, yikes. Thank goodness spring is coming!

Fuck. Panic mode. I've got until the 10th to figure out a new home, possibly even shorter if the landlady tries to take my ass to court because my state will do short evictions for late rent. If you can help it would be appreciated. www.gofundme.com/f/queer-armo...

Oil isn’t getting through the Strait of Hormuz but sunlight and wind are.

ICE agents in South Burlington but so many people showing up to support our neighbors. 337 Dorset St. if you're free and in the area. #AbolishICE

I've been re-elected to my one year term on the Pawlet Selectboard. It was contested this year, so a special thank you to everyone who supported me.

It's town meeting day in Vermont, go vote in your local election! It matters so much who we elect to school and library boards, as constables, and selectboard members.

I’m transgender, I live in Kansas, if you want to help rn donate to either the ACLU of Kansas or the ACE foundation in Wichita - the ACE foundation especially is the organization that will help people with money for groceries, rent, etc. More orgs also included in attached img acefoundationict.org

Proud that my rep, @balint.house.gov isn't sitting there in the capitol taking abuse, but instead standing out in the cold with the people's SOTU. If I was a rep I wouldn't put up with hearing that guy demean me either!

Many people are saying that Trump’s State Of The Union could go on for at least two hours. Join @moveon.org, @meidastouch.com, and some of your favorite Members of Congress instead: www.mobilize.us/moveon/event...

Someone let the penguins of the Heard and McDonald Islands know that their long ordeal is coming to an end.

Glad to find out the tarrifs I paid over the last year were illegal, not holding out a lot of hope of getting a refund tbh, since my business is tiny and I don't have a lawyer

Woke up to -20, obvious thing to do is throw boiling water in the air and make a cloud

hi! i’m maya ventura. you probably know me from WTYPpod, or the bots, or the Pebble apps, or whatever. i’m also trans in rural america, & boy, is that untenable. i need out, & i have a now-or-never opportunity. i’m asking for your help in affording it, if you can. thank you. gofund.me/dc160a843

I created this rebel design, representing the Alaska state bird, the Big Dipper and the North Star, to stand in solidarity with the people of Minnesota and with everyone who is protesting and standing up for our constitutional rights. Profits go to ACLU and NARF. www.customink.com/fundraising/...

Just read this. Wow. Now we've got judges cussing and quoting the Declaration and the Constitution and Ben Franklin and the Bible

Church St., Burlington, VT 1/30/26

TONIGHT: Join the mass call on documenting and recording law enforcement encounters. We’ll discuss how you can keep taking action as federal agents terrorize our communities. Using our constitutional right to document and record ICE & CBP is more important than ever: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

I'm attending No Kings's event, “Eyes on ICE: Document and Record” www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

Minnesota is the best of us.

If you live in Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, or Vermont save these numbers for the various ICE watch hotlines

25/100 for motel tonight 🤞 tysm for helping me access a shower and a bed and a heater possibly

A few months ago, ICE hired me I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!" My latest for Slate

See you tomorrow in Manchester #iceoutforgood mobilize.us/s/e9xw7s

Renee Macklin Good's wife, Becca Good, released a statement and it moved me to sobbing tears: archive.is/ur35j

I'm attending this rapid response call tonight, you can join from anywhere if you're not already attending a vigil mobilize.us/s/lo9Nk5

Two candlelight vigils for Renee Good in my area tonight, both at 5 PM. Manchester Vermont, at the roundabout in front of Northshire bookstore. Rutland, at the park on the corner of West St. and Main St (Rte 4 and 7). I don't have fliers for either of these, but please share. #indivisible #vermont

forget the long arc of history bending towards justice, I need the rube goldberg machine of inexorable consequence to endgame the kind of profoundly ironic yet blackly hilarious karmic downfall that would’ve had ancient greek theatergoers hollering at the chorus

I loved the ending of Stranger Things, these relationship beats and D and D love are made for meeeeee

Don’t shop at Home Depot, Target, or Amazon over the next week. During the busiest shopping period of the year, let’s make our dollars count by refusing to support corporations complicit in Trump’s authoritarian power grab: weaintbuyingit.com/?utm_source=bluesky

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

I, a lesbian, am judging him

The family dollar near me is closing, not a sign of recession I'm sure, everything's fine

The white stuff has appeared and this year's chickens are figuring out that it is edible

I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave. It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.
