I had so much hope for this Rapture. …but they’re all still here…

This is, quite honestly, what we need to happen. 👇

They want us to feel afraid. Fear makes us censor ourselves, stay quiet, keep our heads down. I get it; it's scary. But do not do the work of the oppressor for them. The more we speak out, the more we work in community, the less power they have. Don't let the right use fear as a wedge & cudgel.

OMG! Soooo happy for Jeff Hiller winning the Emmy. Guys, if you have not watched Somebody Somewhere (HBO), PLEASE do yourself a favor. It is one of the loveliest, gentlest, most down-to-earth shows ever. Bridget Everett is also outstanding (as is the whole cast). #Emmys

For sure The Lazarus Project. It was fantastic and deserved a third season. m.imdb.com/title/tt1419...

Internet Law: If you see this video in your timeline you must watch and re-post!

Worth a listen

Anyone near Elkton, Maryland take a look at these deserving kitties…especially Satsuma and Chicory!!!

The video is irritatingly overproduced, but I do agree with a lot of the argument. If Democrats don't use the little power they have, I swear the first ballot box blood bath will be at the coming primaries. Fight or get. out. We are fed up at feckless leadership. (Gift article in Anne's thread.)

JFC...have we learned nothing from what has been in front of us? Republicans picked all the fights all the time: gays, trans, guns, Christmas, taxes, abortion, Muslims, etc., etc. DO THE SAME. Pick ALL the fucking fights!!!!!! I am so tired of the structural incompetence of pundits and politicians.

"Black women have been the backbone of every progressive victory in modern American history, from civil rights to Barack Obama to Kamala Harris. But democracy is not a spectator sport. White women must stop relying on Black women to do the heavy lifting while they reap the benefits."

My wish came true 💕

For anyone lucky enough to attend the Men’s Final at the #USOpen today, please, please record the booing. We all know there will be booing. I need to see it.

For all y'all watching the US Open. And, LET'S GO, TAYLOR TOWNSEND!!!!

Elite, as always, with good and practical advice. His article is worth a read.

I don't know how many East Coast peeps are still up and watching #USOpen tennis but this Tommy Paul (US) - Alexander Bublik (KAZ) match is definitely crazy. 😬 🎾

1000x this!!!!!!

……..I am so tired of all the stupid. Just all the performative, dumb, tacky, meaningless shit that comes out of his addled brain every goddamn day. So tired 😒

My god, most women will recognize this as some classic ‘if you don’t make him angry he’ll hit you less’ bullshit. So I guess if we don’t do that it will be OUR fault that he is more and more fascist. Got it. 👍🏼

Poem of the day

Lol, this campaign is doing it so right...

Some good reminders

NEW: More than ‎20,500 workers have left or been pushed out of federal health agencies, a ProPublica analysis found. Staffers say the cuts will leave their agencies less equipped to conduct studies, perform inspections and combat deadly outbreaks.

Ok. I’m sorry. But put down what you are doing and watch this very excellent video.

I binged S3 of The Gilded Age today. Wow. Surprising last scene at the very end. And what sumptuous costuming. Well done. Long wait to S4 tho…

Someone please adopt these perfect and sweet boys. Chicory & Satsuma are such a perfect pair. Chicory is bold, cuddly and outgoing, and because of him, Satsuma is getting there! Their adoption fee is sponsored & comes with a $150 Chewy gift card. Located in Elkton, MD— DM me for an app or more info!

Vulgar, cruel, stupid, AND tacky. as. hell. 😒

This is true. Dems knew it was coming, that it would be worse the second time around, and they had the playbook in their hands. And they STILL tried to play by the old rules. They picked the wrong leaders, and have actively tried to muzzle the fighters. A reckoning will be coming for them too.

You guys… I am beginning to think that this country is not going to be renewed for its 250th season. The cast this season is terrible. 😒

I can’t help thinking… If they had just played it off and not had such a reaction in the moment they probably would have gotten away with it.

Can someone just find this guy’s coffin and expose it to the sunlight…? 😒

Happy #TuxieTueaday to this brave guy who has had to endure a couple days of LOUD NOISES as we’ve taken down and trimmed trees. While I have worked, he’s taken shelter at my feet for protection. #CatsofBluesky #Cats #AltText

For anyone following this, this is quite a read. 👇

I know it’s a little tardy but I watched Sinners over the weekend. I was not going to watch it bc I don’t do many horror flicks. But man was it good. the music was fantastic. Plus I found this great explainer video (watch AFTER), which was very interesting. Recommend!! m.youtube.com/watch?v=r1TC...

Yes

She is still waiting, not a single app for this incredibly silly, sweet baby girl. Here’s some new pics to share around!

TIL that there are entire generations that do not know how to read analog clocks. One of my younger Millennial employees told me today that she did not understand when I said things like ‘half past 11’ or ‘quarter to 4.’ After discussing I realized those come from seeing time on a circle. 🤯

Maryland! Someone has to be out there for these excellent kitties! 👇

This #Caturday Trixie would like to remind everyone that in these times of strife, sometimes you just gotta let it all hang out there and get in some good trouble. But Freddy says that once you’re done, it’s ok to retreat for a little while to power back up for later. #CatsofBluesky #Cats #AltText

New in PN: The worst chief justice of all time "American history has no shortage of legendarily bad chief justices and disgraceful decisions. But John Roberts has overseen the wholesale corruption and capture of the Supreme Court, and history should look back on his tenure with revulsion."
