My husband keeps texting me about ridiculous pro-Trump billboards on I-10 in Louisiana, as he and my stepdaughter drive back home from Tennessee (sadly, this sick lady had to stay home).

fyi - this book is great, and if you like and share this and win a copy, you will soon understand why getting a copy personally chomped on by Uggi is the perfect way to own it.

Hey, work from homies, if you've purchased a desk treadmill do you actually use it? I'm considering it but I don't need yet another thing I'm just going to ignore.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Preparing for our trip to Egypt next month by watching Poirot’s “Death on the Nile.” Gotta get those Nile cruise shipboard mystery-solving skills ready.

My brother and SIL’s kids got pocket U.S. Constitutions in their stockings, so Santa is really working on keeping our democracy intact, lol.

Christmas mood and carols in the heart of Kyiv today ✨🌲 despite (and in spite of) the horror Russia brings with the war , we celebrate . Because life wins . Because life always wins. Here are the koliadnyky - Ukrainian traditional carolers - all signing together near St Michael Cathedral, and then

Minnesota friends:

Our house is a mess because we had a water leak earlier this year and the damage hasn’t been resolved yet (still working to get the insurance company to properly compensate for the work) and since we were going to my in-laws, we decided not to decorate. And now I’m sick and staying home. With cats.

Looking for a Christmas miracle for a kitty (aging parent situation) for Baltimore pals: (1/2) ""My mom can no longer keep Angelo (alas!!!) and we are looking to rehome him. Angelo is a total sweetheart. He is 6 years old, gentle, playful, friendly, and a lovebug."

This is a beautiful Christmas story.

Just a reminder for Xmas Eve eve, it’s a great time find your closest immigrant-owned business and support them. Get a meal tonight from a restaurant if you can. Commit to buying grocery staples at an immigrant-owned market once a week. Do what you can to help people keep their heads above water.

HEY SURVIVORS !! HEY ATTENTION TO ME beloveds you do not have to read or witness all of this . You do not have to re traumatize You don’t owe nobody nothing

It's still Hanukkah until sundown. Have another donut today.

Rick Steves! 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️

THREAD. My parents' cat Bridget vanished. As the weeks dragged on they became ever more worried, so to distract himself my dad began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up at some of art & music's most important moments. I've collected his work here...

In light of the astronomical increases for my health insurance next year, I thought it would be a good time to encourage people to subscribe. (A few hundred should cover it. Sigh.) clarkesworldmagazine.com/subscribe/

ok, just saw the worst version of Cybertruck I’ve ever seen in person, and I saw two just now. It was bright yellow with the hideous official “Cybertruck” logo in the graffiti font emblazoned on the side. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Just crying while reading and formatting this obituary for a 25 yo’s funeral bulletin. So young, and just starting his adult life. 😢😢

These weirdos are pretending like all the LGBTQIA people in Seattle miraculously disappear in between Pride events. Calm down, Iran and Egypt soccer officials.

Public service announcement!

"I'll burn down your house" - legally actionable, boring, common "I told the trees about you" - legally acceptable, foreboding, unsettling, the plants know your name and hate you

lol - just earlier I said, “ooh, who’s texting me? Oh, just Mark Kelly.”

Looters are interesting, for one thing. A break from the retail monotony.

Happy Bandcamp Friday! Purchases of this dour holiday banger today will send even more $$$ to @frontandcentered.org @lavrights.org and @nwirp.bsky.social!

Naomi, the manager who told them to get out because they didn't have a warrant, is a fucking badass.

I'm restructuring my grantwriter mentorship offerings for next year for 8th House and thinking about shifting my cohort model to a sequential learning process where each month has a theme and maybe a guest speaker (building a project budget, prospect research, etc.) nonprofit folks, thoughts/ideas??

Still on a mission

Also, Interlibrary Loan - I have just discovered the first book that isn’t owned by a single U.S. library by requesting it, but if my library doesn’t have it and it’s not a likely purchase, I’ve been able to get it. Oh, and you can ask your library to purchase books and they most often do!

FASHION & ACCESSORY PEOPLE, HELP: I like to sign up for the teens on the gift tree request because they seem to get overlooked. A 14 y/o girl has asked for "big red ash nylon shoulder bag" but I can't find anything like that in stock anywhere. All suggestions appreciated!
