Pretty sure that a knitting reality show called Game of Wool is relevant to a few of your interests. youtu.be/LfhClm7xTWI?...

This is disability visibility. Mamdani listened. He didn’t pander or talk over the disabled journalist. He acknowledged his concerns and gave real responses about how he plans to fix them. 1 in 4 Americans has a disability, it’s a huge number of voters. Don’t ignore us!

Sean Dunn should never have to buy his own lunch in this city again.

This year has been the longest decade in centuries.

Ever been so annoyed you made a video?

Oh also - lawyers aren’t allowed to tell jurors this so i do: “Jury nullification” is a fancy phrase that just means, “This jury decided not to convict and there’s nothing anyone can do about that.” If we think a law is unjust or unjustly enforced, we can just not convict. We don’t need a reason.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

For the day crowd, the first batches of cards have gone out but there are plenty left. We can't make it on my disability alone so I'm selling greeting cards to make up for our SNAP benefits. Be the reason someone smiles when they open the envelope. Pls share & much thankiness.

I want solid food and I can't have any for another 24 hours. 😭

My mother was the breadwinner in the family, first to get a college degree in the family, and when she was pregnant with me her boss came into her office, told her that she'd never be the same accountant again, and fired her on the spot. That was in nineteen eighty two

Ceci n'est pas un sandwich.

Oh dang. I wonder if this is why I've stopped seeing some folks on here. Not cool. I'd rather block them myself.

The messages were bad but honestly what do these folks expect? "I can't imagine why you are upset with me, all I did was support sending masked, armed men into your communities to abduct your neighbors and brutalize your children." Yeah, people are going to be really angry.

Yale Anthropology is doing an open rank search for environmental anthropology. Happy to answer questions in DMs (I am not on the search committee). We’re a lovely department (imo) and given the current higher ed atmosphere, Yale has been doing a decent job at getting us thru (knock on wood).

ABOUT FUCKING TIME

This sounds bad.

Quite long and *intensely* informative THREAD from our resident expert on this kind of thing.

I’m actually vaguely tempted except I think they want registered Democrats and I’m not.

I talk to the press professionally, I'm really, really, really good at it. So please, please believe me when say you cannot turn this interview request into anything good, it will do only harm. Harm to you, harm to your child, harm to other children.

Okay, it is 11:15 at night, it is TOO DAMN LATE to be rescuing mice from the cats. (We actually thought it was dead at first, it was on the ground and since Mr. Chandler was trying to go to sleep we hadn’t turned on the lights, except in the bathroom. And then I tried to pick it up and it moved.)

AND HERE WE GO! bsky.app/profile/josh...

Reposting because, and I say this with love, some of you are going to see this and go “oh shit, I need to check my bottle” and then immediately forget about it so if this could affect you, go check right now before you even scroll to the next post, I mean it.

Attention WA/Seattle area! Oscar is a 5 year old male (fixed) cat looking for a home! His owner recently passed away and my brother is looking for a new home for him. He's up to date on all his shots. If you know anyone who is looking for a companion, let me know! Boosts are appreciated.

WHO WANTS TO GIVE ME 40,000 SO I CAN BUY THE DARK CRYSTAL.

IT'S ACTUALLY PAPER

A Spanish-language immersion daycare in a leafy residential neighborhood on the North Side of Chicago was raided by federal immigration agents on Wednesday and a teacher was taken away www.reuters.com/world/us/chi...

IT'S NOT AN "IMMIGRATION CRACKDOWN" IF THEY ARE HARMING AND KIDNAPPING AND TERRORIZING PEOPLE REGARDLESS OF THEIR IMMIGRATION STATUS. IT'S RACISM AND INTIMIDATION.

Guillermo del Toro fans can't stop winning:

THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS

Still giggling at all the people looking at the five NYC boroughs election map and going "HEY I READ ABOUT THIS IN THE CITY WE BECAME" Yes that includes me. I'm people too.

Cached US Kindle giveaway: 6 copies of Feedback (Newsflesh Novels Book 4) by Mira Grant, whom most people know by her alter-ego @seananmcguire.bsky.social. I think we really want this book to sell a lot of copies. #KindleBookGiveaway

Always interesting to see these types of guys fear monger about Muslim politicians secretly plotting to force women to cover up because these same guys also call women whores for doing literally anything that mildly turns them on.

I agree with the thread & with Courtney & also want to add one thing: When we talk about progressive & conservative areas, we're usually looking at election results, BUT: We don't actually know that we're a a half/half nation - we know only that we're a gerrymandered & voter suppressed nation.

time to step away from the starbucks drinks, y’all. do not cross the picket line. unions are how we fight back. corporate monopolies are heavily consolidated right now. it’s a large part of why prices are high and wages are low.

I'm having the weirdest moment where I'm happy for NYC over Mamdani and all the promise of a new government, but the part of me that remembers what happened after Gorbachev pushed the policy of glasnost (we got Putin, to make a years long story very short) is going "Aaaaugh." I WAS TEN YEARS OLD.

Corncob statement.

Let me tell you something I’m a New Yorker, I do not take kindly to those people who talk about New York as though it isn’t a real place populated by real people. This is not an abstract. This is not some place on a tv show. Eight point five million people call New York City their home.

*whispers* you can continue to read me, the pundit who insisted the other pundits were wrong about these conclusions

just want to remind everyone again that zohran is the one cis candidate i am aware of that had his platform on trans rights written by trans people. i think that matters

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

good morning specifically to the FBI agent who introduced Mamdani’s dad to Marx

Honestly, this gives me hope for NC. 😍

They will hold a public meeting about this "reorganization"–read: the bigots are unhappy that people's rights were held as their rights and that the review process proceeded appropriately–in December. In Randolph County, North Carolina? PAY ATTENTION. Get involved. www.wfdd.org/politics-gov...

This seems huge, and deserves more attention. SCOTUS has gone out of its way to make it harder to sue Fed law enforcement for damages when they trample—sometimes literally—on your rights. Illinois just made it so their resident can sue the Feds in state court. Feds fail us, states step up.

When you’re the most powerful country in the world, but another country has to pay the wages of some of your soldiers to prevent them from starving.

The shift in Connecticut tonight is seismic. Possibly unprecedented. Loads of towns flipped from Republican to Democratic control. A partial list: Ansonia Bethany Branford Bristol Brooklyn East Granby Ellington Enfield Farmington Milford New Britain New Fairfield Norwich Plymouth Rocky Hill

Mamdani: "We believe in standing up for those we love. Whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of the many Black women that Donald Trump has fired from a federal job ... your struggle is ours too."

Oh, and after all the millions of dollars spent on advertising, the harmful policies and all the demagoguery... Stop. Picking. On. Trans. Kids. The Rs lost to me four times in six years. That should've been a hint. But apparently it wasn't, so the voters made their thoughts crystal clear tonight.
