Hey, BlueSky, serious question: If I, a highly organized person, offered you a reasonable price to help you go through your papers (bills, receipts, etc.), books, and overflowing drawers, would you give it a try EVEN THOUGH I don't have an Instagram presence or a video about my successful methods?

The reality that masked men without proper identification are confronting and arresting and taking away people should be intolerable to anyone who calls themselves American.

Yes, "imagine"!! Imagine every moment I’m trying to work filled with “look at me look at me!” Imagine trying to fill weekdays, as well as weekends, with playdates, bc we don’t live in an imagined suburbia where all kids are the same age and all home over the summer! Imagine never having time alone!

I had a lot of fun working on this list, and I promise every one of them is an actual book that exists! (Or will by its summer pub date!)

The Mists of Avalon. Depictions of SA that 13yo me, who just wanted to read a fantasy about badass Celtic witches, was not remotely prepared for.

you know who else came from chicago and was on "a mission from god"

A Chicago Pope implies the existence of an MLA Pope and APA Pope

This will sound weird but love yourself enough to write your own term papers.

Now that's bad

There is power in traditions of protest

A shanda and a disgrace to every single one of his ancestors.

Previous to the FDA, folks would put chalk and plaster of Paris in milk to make it appear white. They could also add formaldehyde to cover the smell and taste of spoiled milk.

vegans begging God for inner strength to be cool about this and maybe gently draw a few new curious onlookers

Tired: universal healthcare, affordable housing, parental leave, accessible childcare Wired: Nazi birthing medals

"they hate our beef because our beef is beautiful and theirs is weak" our beef:

Paging @thetattooedprof.bsky.social and @kevinmkruse.bsky.social Hoping you aren’t the end of the video just yet.

"Despair and believing that you are powerless is a form of 'obeying in advance.' People ARE doing things. You will meet those people when YOU start doing things." Concrete actions from @sifill.bsky.social, excellent as always.

The fact that they're trying so hard to stop us from teaching/learning real history is a reminder that doing so ✨actually matters✨ Join @jwaonline.bsky.social starting this Thursday for our history series on Gender, Race, and Ethnicity in Global Jewish Experience.

for pity’s sake, I am BEGGING university leaders to stop framing this issue in terms of what this will cost the university. people dont care! EXPLAIN WHAT THIS WILL COST THE PUBLIC: closed hospitals and clinics, skipped treatments, loss of access to experimental drugs, unemployment, recession

"Marshmallows are for team players" is the new "coffee is for closers" #severance

"I hope this email finds you well!" How this email found me: #Severance

I’m #autistic & #Jewish. I know plenty of other autistic Jews online. How do you think it feels for us to watch rich, powerful men use autism as an excuse to spread Nazism? It’s such a thin, ridiculous excuse, it should be dismissed out of hand, but this is the Discourse now, every day.

This is not legal, but/and I want to point out where it is going next. Trump’s DOJ is going to claim his enemies committed crimes, and then dump them in El Salvador or Guantanamo. They are preparing to deport US citizens along with anyone they deem undesirable.

The bad: My kid has been scared of monsters under the bed recently. The good: her description of them is metal AF. “You know the helmet that Alexander the Great wore, that looked like a mohawk? The monster has one of those but the mohawk is made of human bones"

Yesterday I was so depressed about what Satan's own scrotum is doing in power that I could barely get myself off the couch. I know I will feel like that again soon. But today I am going to reclaim some fierceness and joy and celebrate something that felt great. 1/3

Blackhawk crashes into a plane over the Potomac? DEI. Wife left you? DEI. Your children hate you? DEI. Gambled away your savings on a Trump crypto coin? DEI.

Great art emerges from the darkest times

Naive question: who are the best orgs to support with $$$ in challenging these blatantly illegal orders?

Earthquake!!!

One thing I hope we can avoid this go-round is training friendly fire on progressives/leftists/liberals who are mobilizing on an issue that isn't ~our~ primary cause. Any given person/organization can only do so much; it doesn't mean that they're indifferent to other injustices.

We made a Jewish feminist starter pack for our great new community here! Who should we add? go.bsky.app/MNtodjs

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH** * Currently paused by Executive Order ** Grant reviews now all canceled www.kcur.org/news/2025-01...

Completing the pre-surveys for my annual physical, and the questions on the anxiety screening page are hilarious to contemplate at this particular moment in U.S. history

Them: we must trust biology! Biologists: I'mma be real with you - we have no idea what a 'fish' is.

Out on the road this last year I’ve repeatedly said that they thrive on chaos. I am once again reminded of advice from Timothy Snyder: You can’t fight every battle: Pick an institution that it is most important to you or where you can have impact and defend it.

The backlash to #metoo has been astonishingly successful, as the 2024 election and recent confirmation hearings amply demonstrate. But it's also clear that we are not shutting up and we are not going away and we will not stop insisting upon our ownership of our own bodies, selves, and histories.

This is an excellent and important thread about civility, discomfort, and power.

Strongly tempted to upload to Pornhub a 90-minute video detailing the flaws, inconsistencies, and lies in Justice Alito's so-called jurisprudence.

btw if we resolve to keep our individual joke post:the-situation-is-dire post ratio at 3:1 min (pref 5:1 or better) we could save this site from becoming twitter. “Becoming twitter” is a fate worse than death so maybe consider this concept. In order to lead my example I will next post about butts

Whitewashing the uncomfortable parts of the past doesn't just affect Black stories. For example, you can't fully appreciate how a peanut farmer from Plains, GA became a beloved president unless you know TRUE Black History. The unwhitewashed history of Jimmy Carter: A thread.

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

I hope Gisèle Pelicot will remain proud of her clarity, courage, fury, and dignity all the rest of her days. And I hope, though I'm not optimistic, that every man who found himself for a single second sympathizing with any of the 50 men who raped her will think about why he had that impulse.

he calls her a marxist but she's not the one getting publicly owned
