Thanks @deenawinter.bsky.social for writing this, and writing it this way.

“Part-owner Umi Hassan said she lived here right after 9/11 and didn’t feel as marginalized and fearful as she does today. She’s unable to sleep at night and carries her passport everywhere. Tears running down her face, she asked, “What else can I do to be an American?””

Forget insults, what’s the most unhinged *compliment* you’ve ever received?

A guy on instagram said he didn’t care what I had between my legs, he was happy to have lost his leg in Iraq to keep a beautiful woman like me safe

what is with absolute wackos and squirrel PFPs (again, this individual was specifically enraged at me because I advised against shining laser pointers at helicopters):

my other favorite time someone got mad at me on Bluesky this year: because I said that it’s a bad idea to point laser pointers at helicopters:

I know several people who run daycares, albeit not in MN, and not one of them would allow anyone entry into their facility without prior authorization from a parent AND clear identification showing that the person is who he says he is. They for sure wouldn't allow an entourage in. This is such BS.

[Man that enthusiastically supports the child sex predator president and party]: I demand that you let me into this childcare facility to see the children

These privileged wyt men think they're entitled to invade every space.

If a daycare let him in they’d be sued into bankruptcy

The "No." from this reporter is the energy I need from everyone with a journalism degree or job description in 2026.

One should not be permitted into a daycare unless they are authorized, this includes family members, even if the child recognizes you. If it's not a strict policy at your daycare, it should be. The daycare must also not reveal any information about the children.

Many manufacturing sites require card key to access. Child care should be more secure than that.

I’m sorry in what world are daycare owners/workers supposed to just let random people into the daycare facility, and give them unimpeded access?

He IS the reason daycare doors are locked. Creep, with a masked creep, trying to walk into a daycare. WHY?

I have to be buzzed in to the outer lobby of my dog’s groomer for heaven’s sake.

rather, I should stay doctrinally correct: It was an information operation. Foreseeable goals could be to make a non-troversy that generates protest/counterprotest dynamics within the cities, ahead of warm weather. Any instability could be used to further destabilize this summer.

Because this was a stunt.

I mean fine - they are finally getting round to setting the record straight. However, if the media and political landscape were working properly this guy would have been ignored from the get go because he's basically a dim-witted child.

He's probably a groyper.

'these aren't real businesses' F)@ktard. If his child was in there he would sing a different tune

If he pulled this bs at a school, let alone a daycare center, in an affluent white area, he would be in prison already.

I am a white guy so you should let me in to everything and I will question why you are not. Well maybe statics showing white men as generally being perpetrators could be the reason. Oh and masked guys are kidnapping people. As a white guy I hate white people. Hi it's us we are the problem.

Messing with people’s kids is a good way to visit a morgue

This man and his thugs shouldn't be allowed near ANY children.

Also people who aren’t parents or employees don’t get to enter daycares full of small children. These people love to talk about “common sense” and yet they are in possession of the teeniest brains possible.

Create an atmosphere of fear and then get mad when people don't welcome you and your masked thugs with open arms.

The same is true for schools. Because people with guns can’t be allowed in.

And even home childcares with less security would not let in someone who wasn’t a parent with a currently enrolled child, bc of LAWS & REGULATIONS FOR CHILD SAFETY.

Yup and a lot of them dont just have one set of locked door but 2. And you have to be buzzed into both.

Yes, every childcare is locked to keep random dudes out. For good reason.

I’ve been doing some volunteer projects with an elementary school, and the door there is also locked. You show your face to a camera, and after a minute a security guard opens the door for you. A good system that wouldn’t be in place if monsters weren’t real.

THE DAY CARES ARE LOCKED BECAUSE YOU MADE A GENERATION-LONG EFFORT TO MAKE IT AS EASY AS POSSIBLE TO KILL THE CHILDREN INSIDE THEM YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKING GHOULS

Bsky, my pneumonia has taken a bad turn. I may be facing significant medical costs. I’m starting a GoFundMe to help out with medical bills and expenses. Please share if you can. gofund.me/19d78b218

orcas have the chance to do the funniest thing

starmer is unpopular because he is not meaningfully different than the tories. labour voters want labour policies, not tory policies. mystery solved

All the birds together. I'd like to update this into a true print...soon!

Isn't abuse from one's MIL a common thing in India? You can be damn sure I wouldn't want to move in with a bunch of strangers whose motives I didn't know.

Damn these women for their... *checks notes* ...personal preferences and desired living conditions! How DARE they! Don't they know they're hurting feelings?!

Joint family: an extended family, typically consisting of three or more generations and their spouses, living together as a single household. A patriarchal system where resources as pooled together and allocated by the head of household. I love my inlaws, but this would be a hell no for me.

you gonna do something about it, or are you gonna continue to fall all over yourself to work with a group of assholes who genuinely think you should be out in the fields picking cotton all day? because facts in evidence do not suggest that you plan on doing anything.

It’s also really hard to *honestly* promise to control costs when costs are market artifacts. They’re afraid of doing the “Pell grant recipients for 3 years in disadvantaged communities” thing and that discourages them from making any straightforward plans.

which is garbage and it is why statements like this piss people off.

which is why Jeffries doesn't want to make them. he doesn't want to be nailed to any strategy or concrete commitment.

it's one thing for randos on the internet to just berate the regime, but people with actual positions of power, people who are leaders, need to say what they will do—in part because promises can be evaluated and enforced, right?

I really think messaging like this would hit much better if there were some statement of what you're going to do about it? Like, he's the minority leader. okay, costs are up. what is the plan to lower them when you are in power? what are you promising to do?

When you got weak ankles and do pose references, you make the most out of it #Pose #PoseRef

It is the last day of 2025 and we are heading into the end of the year-end sale YESSS I AM GOING TO GO MARK THINGS DOWN LIEK WOAH BECAUSE YOU KNOW HOW I GET www.etsy.com/shop/Lioness... (The sale will still be going tomorrow, January 1, for anybody still figuring themselves out.)

I went through the engineering PhD process here. I can tell you that folks in the US are uninterested in living for 5 years off of ~$25k/year spending 50-60 hrs/week, after they already have a BS. Thats what you have to do to get a PhD. I know many Sai's. They work hard, struggle and pull ahead.
