the mac n cheese and the apple crumble in the fridge getting ready for a back-to-back performance tonight

godspeed to you all, my merry christmas warriors. may the cat have to buy trinkets for each and every one of us

earlier today i read the word “stuffing” in the “koffing” voice and now i can’t stop

happy @senatormeow.bsky.social christmas challenge eve to all who celebrate. time to lock tf in.

is there a website/marketplace type deal that’s like etsy before etsy was a bunch of drop shippers? (relatedly: i am so tired of everything on earth being poorly made and mostly plastic)

my extremely millennial take for the day is that missy elliott is one of the greatest to ever do it

if i ever did a National Treasure type heist, i would steal the Mission Accomplished banner

I really can't stress how important it is for progressive and leftists to contend for school, library, water, etc etc boards. Hyper local involvement in our communities where we can actually influence lives.

except mine, all my posts are true and correct

part of why i find books with unreliable narrators interesting is that as the reader, you’re constantly trying to asses whether the thing the narrator is experiencing is real, or only real to them. this, i think, is how we should treat the vast majority of social media posts.

yall are about to get wild on here, aren’t you

i’ve decided i’m not letting ai take em dashes from me.

new pfp, same bad posts

Supporting our local library>>> Supporting our local library’s unionization efforts>>>>>>>>>

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law passed 4 years ago. In new research @urbaninstitute.bsky.social we study its effects. US transport spending increased by 30%, but: —Funding for non-highway projects flatlined —Construction cost increases resulted in no actual increase in infrastructure

my unreasonable pet peeve is people sharing links with all the gnarly utm tracking stuff still attached

Looking forward to digging into Columbus in 50 Maps, @brentincolumbus.bsky.social’s new book with @beltpublishing.bsky.social. Brent is someone who cares deeply about this city and always seeks to find new ways to understand it—its past and present, but also all its possible futures.

3) They deliberately roundup senators who aren't facing voters to do the selling out. And, the coup de grace ... 4) They sell out *in order to preserve the filibuster*, one of the very artifacts that makes the Senate so miserable & useless. Perfectly shitty, as though designed in a Shit Lab.

I'm trying to do real work today & everyone is bashing this already, but my god: 1) Schumer clearly arranges or at least greenlights the sellout but then votes against it so he can pretend to have a spine. 2) They sell out for a *promise from Republicans*, who lie like they f'ing breathe.

if you want to understand what’s happening on the right (and you should), read this thread.

funniest possible time for nancy pelosi to announce that she’s retiring

we saw some big wins for the left last night, and some very close races where we didn’t quite make it there. but all that energy and community building and capacity to shift people and narratives doesn’t go away after the election. use that to make change now and build for later.

“While there is a lower class, I am in it, and while there is a criminal element I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.” —Eugene V. Debs

If you're learning about Eugene Debs today and want to know more, @haymarketbooks.org has an amazing collection of books for you! www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1246-t...

What if the Columbus City Council election was a ward system instead where only District 7 residents voted for the District 7 race? Vogel 62% (10,829 votes) Ross 38% (6,592 votes) Vogel won 60 of the 79 precincts in District 7 (76%) (3/4)

Charlotte's transport referendum has won. 1% sales tax increase is expected to generate $19 billion/20 years, funding: —Transit (40%): Red Line commuter rail, Silver Line light rail, Gold Line extension, Blue Line extension —Road projects (40%) —Bus improvements, creating frequent bus network (20%)

Inbox— next cover of the New Yorker: “Mayor Mamdani,” by Edel Rodriguez

historic: zohran mandani becomes new york’s first hot mayor

it's official

hahahahahaha

In Columbus, OH, initial results show all of the city's bond issues leading with 60–70% of the vote. The neighborhood development bond issue would provide $500 million for neighborhood development and affordable housing.

not long now before i start obsessively refreshing the @boltsmag.org feed.

it’s really funny to me every time the news media tries to create controversy around rama duwaji, because all it does is reinforce that mamdani has an extremely cool, hot wife.

“Ally Muttnick from PunchBowl reports Dems are inclined to accept this.” what are we even doing anymore

Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same

instant pots are probably useful but imo the most powerful cooking tool is having like 6 tiny bowls for mis en place

the most filipino american thing that i do is dip lentil chips in vinegar. i don’t know why these things remind me so much of pork rinds.

Don’t miss LinkUs updates at tomorrow’s meeting!

We’re in Room 2B this month! Join us this Tuesday, 10/14 at 7pm at the Main Library.

if i've learned one thing from doing union stuff while also doing other forms of organizing, it's that you're better off with people you disagree with who are nevertheless trying to do the same thing as you than with people you agree with who aren't trying to do anything

Only $74 away from $2,000 raised for Kaleidoscope Youth Center. Don’t need to give all of it but maybe just a little. I’m 10 miles into my 25 miles of hiking today. Then another 25 tomorrow. Thanks for considering. www.gofundme.com/f/save-it-or...
