experiment in making chicken kofta kebab was successful. Probably tastes nothing like a real kofta but it's nutritious, delicious and took 20 minutes. works for me!

I got a bag of supplies for the boy scout food drive a month or so ago. Forgot to put it out. *sad trombone* During bootcamp break, my friend posted about USPS food drive today. Despite it being noon, I took a chance & hauled it out. My postal guy picked it up & off it goes to do good.

Just read an email as "The Hormones of Liberty" and was wondering what in the Log Cabin was this before my eyes focused to "HARMONIES". Whew, who needs coffee?

People who don’t have kids in public school subsidize people who do. People who don’t drive on city-maintained streets subsidize people who do. We are all the subsidized and the subsidizers when things are operating normally; let’s not do this silliness.

boosting a billionaire because he says a bumpersticker policy nice while being incapable of explaining how he's going to get a federal policy changed for a state. I just look around and go how did progressive end up here?

Y’all do bs like this because your ancestors have never had to fight for the right to vote. 312 votes is what made the difference for millions of people getting healthcare because of the ACA. We needed that senate seat for Obama & it was 312 votes that got it. www.mentalfloss.com/article/5987...

I’m so proud of these folks ✊🏽 Alabama Dems have had enough of Republicans’ bullshit. They’re standing up against the attack on their political power. 🚨 Alabama state organizing manager Dee Reed escorted out of the Alabama House gallery Friday as lawmakers debated redistricting.

I've learned my work experience gives my more than enough experience to be a showrunner's assistant but the fact I had the temerity to age past 40 and have other unsightly encumbrances (minority, woman) might still be a factor.

Anyway, DO SOMETHING. Put some energy into postcarding for Georgia's upcoming elections on the 19th. abby.postcardstovoters.org

Tear it down if it's built at all. If something has to be built, rebuild the East Wing and make a spectacle of taking down all the gold BS.

Are y’all paying attention?

What made John Brown a great man was not actually that he was a "great" man. It was that he recognized himself as a regular man that rejected white supremacy. And was willing to die for that. That when he saw another Black face, he saw a human like himself. May 9, 1800 he was born

So voting works & organizing to vote works. Please note that shitposting did not work.

Racism as an ideology depends on lies. So racists, especially those who consider themselves to be intellectuals, tend to be very accomplished liars.

I don't get this line of thinking. Roberts et al have calculated (correctly) that the chances of any of the shit they are doing getting reversed is extremely low not only in their lifetimes, but within the next 30 to 40 years. Again we STILL haven't gotten a "blue tea party" *10 years* into Trump

We would be a lot better off as a country at the moment if more of our institutions had said, "Fuck you, make me" over the past year and a half

tomorrow I have showrunner's assistant bootcamp. excited and pre-confused for convenience.

Watch Republican state Sen. Jay Morris of West Monroe, Louisiana, telling a Black audience member, who was there today to protest legislation to eliminate majority-Black congressional districts, "Shut up, boy." www.instagram.com/reels/DYFyMV...

Is this photos from 1964? Nope, this was yesterday May 7, 2025 in Tennessee.

That is a sensible animal.

horrifying all its own, and extra concerning that, if you watch the video, not a single reporter in that room followed up on the 14th remark—even though the speaker *repeated* it

So we're mad at VA for not ignoring the courts? Damn, I'm sick and tired of this bull.

From 2013

For the cause of rebalancing the nationwide congressional map, one very important election is coming up next month. MD Senate President Bill Ferguson, who refused to redraw the map, faces a primary challenge from Bobby LaPin. Notably, Gov. Wes Moore just refused to endorse Ferguson for reelection.

☣️new episode!☣️ #TransTuesday What happens to trans women when we call out and name chasers? Where does our fetishization come from? It may (not) surprise you to learn it's from the exact same people responsible for astroturfing the entire anti-trans movement Boone Williams returns to discuss!

​3. Not only are they saying the words, they are doing a SHIT TON of work. 4. Stop being a tool and spreading disinformation (maybe that is your purpose?) ​5. How many Dem accounts are you following? All the words & WORK is presented. I made it easy for you: 2/2

Y'all need to stop. This is entirely false. 1. The corpo media is owned by a handful of billionaires - all deeply up the ass of TFG. They are not going to platform the Dems. 2. Elected Dems are saying all the things people like you want to hear, you are not listening. 1/2

The worst offender is actually #UCBerkeley. They hold over 12,000 Native Remains and have done every dodge and weave to avoid following the federal repatriation law. #NAGPRA

Had convos w/ multiple people in the past 4 days who DID NOT KNOW that 1. AI doesn't "think" or know anything; it's a probability machine 2. It was created using massive amounts of work stolen from actual people including me 3. The environmental costs are astronomical Spread the word, every time!

Rep. Roger Williams on the SAVE America Act: "We want the right people voting"

I just cannot get over the fact that Black voters in Memphis, the city where MLK was assassinated and led the Poor People’s Campaign, will no longer have basic representation in Congress

🚨Republican voters just elected an accused pedophile to be their nominee in the race for Ohio state house district 40. Rodney Creech was accused by a minor female relative of climbing into her bed with an erection & he admitted to doing so. #NoJustice #GOP... The party of Pedophile Protectors.

We went out to learn Scottish country dances.

The final order cutoff for JUSTICE LEAGUE: DREAM GIRLS is Monday, May 11th! If you've been enjoying JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERGALACTIC and GALAXY: AS THE WORLD FALLS DOWN, you owe it to yourself to contact your local comic store and make certain they've got copies for you reserved!

So a thing I don’t think I’ll ever get used to nostalgics adamant refusal to even process two fairly simple facts. 1) That past they pine for sucked for a lot people outside their demo even on pure pop culture grounds. 2) that our base population now includes over twice as many of those people.

Kind of surprised that this hasn't been bigger news. It's finals week for a whole lot of universities, and yet, Canvas (a learning/grading platform used by ~9,000 schools globally) is currently inaccessible because of a pay-or-have-your-data-leaked hack. www.insidehighered.com/news/tech-in...

They're not the only ones like this.

Modern technology could learn from older stuff that does what it's supposed to and doesn't bother you. My toilet just works and never sends me emails like "Good news! Flush® is now Floosh®"

Two liberal attorneys running for Georgia's supreme court oppose the state’s restrictions on abortion, and have made that stance a feature of their campaign messaging.

Big and small cats 🐈 🦁 🐅

Only in America can one party control the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives, win the popular vote,and hold the majority of governorships... and still blame the other party for everything wrong with this country

What I always think makes this even more impressive is that they were waiting for the okay to do this song until like the day of filming, so Tom had to learn choreography for a completely different song as well. And then learn this at the last minute.

You know she thought she had this in the bag.

happy 9th anniversary to the day we watched Zendaya fall madly in love with Tom Holland in real-time

Can’t wait until taking away Black representation solves nobody’s problems and in fact makes them all worse

Bernie Sanders's (I-Bernie) refusal to see the bigotries of racism, misogyny, anti-LGBTQ+, xenophobia, etc. as the major drivers of economic injustice makes him useless to the cause he claims to espouse. His blatant lies about Democratic primaries have shown his moral unfitness for years.

There is zero reason for Data Centers to be using up resources. They are perfectly able to integrate solar panels to provide the electric they need and there are water cooling systems that use 70% less water called closed-loop systems or recirculating cooling towers. Don't believe the lies.
