It’s funny and depressing listening to old podcasts complaining that winds of winter wasn’t out back in 2016 or whatever. Thank the gods THIS YEAR IS WINDS YEAR.

Okay, I warned you yesterday but SPIDER POST SPIDER POST SPIDER POST. Look. Spiders are great! They're our friends. They do good work out there and in our houses. I love spiders and how can you not love THIS spider, who is both a work of art *and* wildly successful at this game of hide-and-seek?

I've been meaning to write something on this for some. time but this is better than I would have written so read this, twice.

You didn't hurt your kid by taking Tylenol. Robert F. Kennedy Jr is a lying piece of shit.

underneath all the doom and hideous stuff happening at the top of our country is a more inspiring story: regular Americans are not buying all this crap. and they're still willing to call the government out on it. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I would be embarrassed if I was the president of the United States and spent all day complaining about how journalists/comedians aren't nice enough to me, but I suppose I have shame

He’s baaaaack!

ah, well

Just read the indictment. Gonna guess this is the most detail we get about why this happened. Presuming these messages weren't some sort of misdirect, he hated Charlie Kirk because Kirk was hateful. Honestly doesn't sound like he had a super clear idea why he inscribed the memes on his bullets.

Life is hard enough. Can we please stop putting grapes in chicken salad

Democratic elected officials, here's some unsolicited advice. People are looking for leadership. Right now. This moment. Someone, anyone, take the konch and forcefully respond to JD Vance and Stephen Miller's promise to declare war against America. Speak up now. Press conference today.

one of the clearest signs you're dealing with a strong and principled political movement is when they want to make it illegal to make fun of them

Controversial opinion, but I think trans people should feel safe here on bluesky, and nazis shouldn't.

thoughts this morning

There are a hell of a lot of people who don’t realize that trans people are not necessarily alone in this world, that they don’t live outside the context of society. Trans people have moms and dads who love them, siblings and aunts and uncles. Friends and bosses and partners.

3 things: 1) It’s way too many folks who need your empathy for you to waste it on someone who didn’t believe in empathy and who didn’t see you as a human deserving of dignity, respect, and safety. 2) political violence begets political violence and makes us all unsafe. 3) you can say 2 w/o doing 1

The time is now. Right now. Time for literally all of us to push back against fascism. You don't have to and literally can't do EVERYTHING. Don't worry about that! Just pick the one or two issues/things you know and care about and join the people who are doing practical things to help.

📌💡Great essay 👇 "Putting a lie in a headline without calling it a lie elevates the lie to the level of truth. It is proper and fitting to protest such elevation. It is completely improper for those of us who will not be harmed by the lie to entertain it in the name of open-mindedness."

Before you see a hundred or so posts saying that Texas has issued arrest warrants for the absent Dem legislators, you should be aware that they are civil warrants issued by the House that are not effective outside the state www.texastribune.org/2025/08/04/t...

BREAKING: Democrats in the Texas legislature say they're fleeing the state to block the severely-gerrymandered, Trump-backed redistricting plan aimed at preserving the GOP's slim House majority.

Everyone is posting their "non-political opinions" and my non-political opinion is that 99% of all political opinions are just important aspects of our life we need to discuss but some a-hole politicized our lives because they think survival is a friggin' game.
