So...I've started doing this thing where I finally go around to actually selling the stickers and stuff that I make. Here's one of my new favorites: makinglightstudio.etsy.com/listing/4366...

I said 'help the homeless' not 'criminalize homelessness' you absolute goblins.

A DOGE kid gets beat up in DC and it’s DefCon1; hundreds of bullets into federal buildings with officer killed in Atlanta and it’s crickets; violent mob attacks Capitol wounding dozens of officers and it’s pardons for all.

They recovered over 180 bullet shells at the CDC. Debris from shattered glass is still being cleaned up. I am completely stunned at how quickly the news cycle has moved on. This was an act of terrorism targeting public health experts, and the response seems to be a collective shrug.

Boss. I'm tired boss. We been doing these experiments and studies since the 60s and 70s and the outcome has been the same in them all. The pushback against these measures aren't because they don't work. It's because they DO work and they'll include peoples they wish to exclude from society.

I have a wiked cold. I also have to get on a plane tonight to go to a concert on Tuesday. I will be wearing a mask even though sneezing in a mask is one of the tortures in hell because I don't want anyone else to get sick. Fingers crossed this beast passes soon.

I have a cold at the worst possible time. But I am still going to do everything in my power to see Kim Seokjin Tuesday and Wednesday nights.

Hey Missouri Friends, this organization is working very hard to prevent our "leaders" in Jeff City from overturning the initiatives that Missouri Voters have passed. Please give them a look and help out if you can. respectmovoters.org

"When 8 men have more money than 4 billion people combined, folks relying on food stamps or Medicaid aren't the problem."

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."  -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

So yeah, Samsung Care + Theft and Loss promises you'll get a replacement phone within one business day of reporting it lost. That is so very not the case. I can't even get a human to talk to me. But the nice AI told me yesterday that my case would be dealt with in the order it was received.

i'd rather ask ursula from the little mermaid for a favour and life advice than ask chatgpt anything

So yeah, I’m gonna blame the allergy meds for dropping my phone in the lake. But if anyone needs me, I’ll be staring at the wall sighing dramatically until I can get a new one.

More like this, please.

70+ years after the Civil War, the WPA Federal Writers' Project began interviewing elderly Americans who remembered being enslaved. This collection is at the Library & contains moving narratives & photos. #Juneteenth Narratives: www.loc.gov/collections/... Photos: www.loc.gov/pictures/ite...

Say it again because I don't think they heard you.

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

Fight the Empire.

"If you got arrested then you weren't protesting peacefully" is a lie. Stop spreading it.

And some say women are too emotional for positions of leadership 🙄

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

Democrats — don’t even think about taking money from Elon Musk. It’s blood money.

This‼️

💥 BREAKING: Shareholders of Merck & Co one of the largest pharma companies in the world, voted today to reject an anti-DEI proposal, 99-1 percent. Merck Board recommended shareholders vote against proposal that called for eliminating "discriminatory DEI milestones" from executive compensation.

Sadly I did not know this for the first 55 years of my life. They do not teach you this. This is absolutely true. And we should honor all of them this Memorial Day and always 

I may have had had to explain to a person related to my husband why it was a bad idea to put the "purse bacon" she got from the restaurant on Friday on our salad today. She is now sulking. For the record, said bacon has been in the purse the entire time, not refrigerated, just wrapped in a napkin.

So, I don't want to say this out loud but I have yet to get the 'Vid. I have been extremely good about getting every single vaccine & booster the second I could, as well all the other precautions, which I will continue to do. But I swear, if I get this damn plague...cause of this...

From photo to art to on my wall.

It's not a new argument, of course, but Chesterton dismissed it effectively in 1908. "You will hear everlastingly... this argument that the rich man cannot be bribed. The fact is, of course, that the rich man is bribed; he has been bribed already. That is why he is a rich man."

We aren’t your heroes, we’re your canaries. Pay attention.

Let’s clear something up: SNAP stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — the LARGEST federal program to fight hunger in the country! It blows my mind that the party that touts its “Christian values” is the same party that is SET on taking food from the hungry.

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @laloalcaraz)

Tech bros are desperate to legitimize their theft of copyrighted works by artists and writers. After the head of the US copyright office released a report questioning if fair use allowed GenAI systems to be trained on copyrighted material, Trump fired her. 1/ www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The real masculinity crisis is that it took less than one generation for women to outcompete men in higher ed and home ownership once the legal barriers to both were both were removed and they are collectively losing their minds faced with the reality that they were never naturally superior.

More details are emerging as Rep. Joaquin Castro meets with the deported family of the 11yo U.S. citizen girl in Mexico. CBP agents *confiscated her seizure meds.* That’s not law enforcement—it’s abuse. Keep reposting. Keep raising hell. Be a voice for the voiceless. #OnYourSide

Thank you, Dr. Carla Hayden, for your leadership and commitment to ensuring access to knowledge for all. Your service as Librarian of Congress has inspired a generation of librarians, archivists, and readers. Photo: Dr. Hayden meets with Internet Archive founder @brewster.kahle.org, 2017.

She was also the director of Baltimore's library system when Freddie Gray was murdered by police and kept the libraries open during the "riot" because community members needed a safe place to go. That ethic of care is just not welcome in our federal government anymore.

Wordle 1,417 2/6 ⬜⬜🟩🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 The way this makes me so smug and proud. Like it wasn't just a freaking lucky guess.

The billionaires are the enemy. Pass it on.

To all those who said boycotting Target was a waste of time. It wasn't. Keep it up, y'all!

Revenue at Duolingo in 2024 was up 41% on 23 to $748M. Net income was up by 451% for same period and yet they're firing workers. We've long been at "insatiable greed" point of late stage capitalism. People may feel helpless but there's a very easy way to kick companies like this. Delete their apps.

Stop Forcing A.I. Into Every Fucking Thing!

Movie you've watched more than six times using gifs. Super hard mode (for me), no scifi or fantasy

The FDA is said to be preparing to end most of its routine safety inspections, so…

This. For autistic kids For our trans friends For immigrants For people of color For women For cis white dudes like me Everyone deserves to live, even if they can’t work, pay taxes, or get laid.

Bring back *everyone* who was sent from the U.S. to CECOT in El Salvador. *No one* should be sent there. ALL their rights were violated. ALL of them should come home.
