Oh No! is the new policy…🎶🕺🎧 xoxoxopher.bandcamp.com/album/oh-no #democrats #cave

look I know being an engaged citizen IS the work of democracy but it is also the work of elected officials not to create situations where everyone has to be mobilized all the time to prevent them from allowing some kind of Dickensian horror on a Sunday night while you're in between loads of laundry

I guess regular working class people are supposed to sympathize with the people who cave the second they might have to work weekends

Do you think unbending Clippy until he was a long piece of metal would be painful for him. Or do you think it would cause him to feel a great sense of relief

Good morning, skeeters! Also me, to my cat, when she does something unhinged. Happy Caturday *tips hat*

I’m imagining the Beatles trying to get publicity this way. John - it looks as if we got a “like” for Love Me Do Ringo - that’s just Paul’s mum. George - she likes everything Paul does Paul - she never shares our songs with her followers, though..

The funky new album Almost Time is not only good for dancing but also for driving around. Driving beats! Check it out free here: xoxoxopher.bandcamp.com/album/about-...

99% of my vintage postcards just talk innocuously about weather, family, and travel on the back. Here is a rare drama. “You would not let me support you - it’s your own fault - not mine.”

This 4th of July, fired federal workers from 16 agencies recite the Oath of Office they took on day one. Their jobs were ended or undermined beyond recognition. They chose integrity over compliance. To every public servant: Thank you. 🇺🇸 🎥 Watch: youtube.com/shorts/mn11E...

Perfect summertime beats!

You are a dj in search of new funky music that no one has heard before… I have some new music to get people dancing. We can work this out…

Very frustrated to learn that my starter e-bike (a Charge comfort) purchased just over 2 yrs ago was a dud. Motor died and the bike shop has been ghosted by @ridecannondale.bsky.social for a month now :(

'“I don't think that people appreciate how few people are working to keep these collections online, even at huge institutions,” Weinberg told me. “It's usually an incredibly small team, one person, half a person, half a person, plus, like their web person who is sympathetic to what's going on.'

No king for Silver Spring

The Internet Archive has rolled out an extremely effective new tool for searching for old Geocities GIFs. I'd apologize for what I'm about to do to this website as a result, but that would be a lie, because I won't feel sorry at all gifcities.org

Hey there - hits a little close to home 😝

Congress approved the 19th Amendment and sent it to the states to ratify on this day in 1919. Whenever a new state voted in favor, The National Woman’s Party sewed a star on this giant flag. Tennessee, the 36th and final state needed for ratification, voted yes in August 1920.
