Unhinged karaoke This should definitely be a big thing everywhere all the time Would consider participating....doing werewolf howls to Mariah Carey or Leonard Cohen style It's a Small a World type fundraiser event I can dig it

Just in case anyone wanted to see *yet another* disingenuous dismissal of women's contribution to science and having their work stolen, may I present 🖕

You spineless bastards, don't you even dare

About gd time. It's been so dry....

❤️ U friends

San Joaquin Valley, the "breadbasket" of CA and very, very red. "Arredondo, the Fresno State nursing student, grew up in the farmworker community of Tranquility and has noticed that many residents rely even more on food banks during the winter months, when work opportunities slow down."

I feel like Democratic Socialism vs. Social Democracy is basically semantic infighting at this point and we should stop doing that. Can we just concentrate on moving in that direction, stop fascism and end-stage capitalism and *then* concern ourselves with those differences later, please?

The "new healthcare plan", promised every two weeks for the last 10 yrs, has finally been revealed! Just Die Already, You're On Your Own is going to go over really well. The Insurance Industry is loving this, I'm sure. And now we wait for the implosion

Full name: Cassandra Sassypants Pussycat Origin: parking lot Hobbies include: preventing day-off lie-ins (we're on a schedule here, human), sudden brake checks at feet, & stealing dog food *while they are eating* Enjoys the "correct" kind of pets but only when requested Completely smitten #Caturday

I don't sleep well & that probably comes from a lifetime of vivid dreams. Last night it was hair cut/dye/costume competition weirdness & earlier this week was "romantic" encounters w/ Billy Bob Thornton vis a vis Bad Santa. Sometimes I think my brain hates me & wants me to be miserable. 🧵

Ended up hiring from Puerto Rico. This concludes his first week. ESL, has spent some time in the Midwest previously, smart as a whip to the backside. He came with a suitcase, taking the bus, staying in a hostel for now. It's a rough start, to be sure, but I feel strongly that HI will embrace him.

Most requests are for simple things. I got puzzles, crosswords, and socks. I'll be doing another Holiday drive for MHS donations at my work, also. Towels. $, canned food, old flat sheets, even t-shirts for injury recovery... Check in your area for how to be the good you want to see in the world.

Look 👀 Listen up We can get to criticizing when criticizing is due There's plenty gonna happen and has. Don't come @ me shitting preemptively on a small moment of joy. Negative Nellie's not welcome here. Go rain on someone else's parade and 🖕

Not talked about enough. the opponent dropped out "A progressive Democrat whose national profile climbed as she criticized the Trump administration’s claims about violent crime in Boston...Wu ran unopposed for the top of the ticket in Tuesday’s sleepy election. She had trounced her main opponent..."

"This is what progressives want!!" Yes, actually. This is exactly what we want. Not saying the scantily-clad walking a dinosaur on a leash is out of the question, though. All kidding aside, this is what makes this country great. Exactly this

Once again, Mental Gymnastics should be an Olympic sport. The dexterity! It's actually quite impressive.

@stevijoe.bsky.social out here solving problems: saving $, lives, and feeding people all at the same time. Nobel Candidate, say I

TDS @thedailyshow.com on for another year w/ Jon Stewart every Mon. Never been to NYC. Got to do a 4-H thing in VA/WDC b4 an LA Summer/Art camp @ 18 Saw some cool stuff & only got in trouble once (for getting lost in a museum, on purpose 😉) Probably do some shady shit to attend a Mon TDS hmu

I'm sorry (not sorry), but a guy decked out in tactical gear and gator hiding his face, 'patrolling' 'the streets against "criminals", showing his face in a courtroom using "I smelled onions and mustard when the hoagie hit my breastplate" is at least a little bit funny

A friend of mine recently voiced the idea that "Bernie Bros" embraced 47 b/c he was an agent of change and that's really what they want/Ed. Shake up the establishment. Maybe not burn it all down, but *something different* 🧵

Congratulations 🎉! "Party strategists from across Europe are making the trek across the Atlantic to learn from the millennial who skyrocketed from anonymity to the precipice of the most important city in the United States (or the world, if you ask a New Yorker)."

Don't remember when I first saw this story but I am uplifted that the movement is alive and well. It's needed more than ever. A little encouragement goes a long way

Wow. And Teen Vogue *was* one of the good sources for news. This sucks

For all of you about to be shook by DST rollback, I just want you to know that some people live in a perpetual standard time and we gradually accept the seasons changes w/o some wicked mandate. I can only speak for myself, but maybe you should all just consider not "springing forward". Warm regards

Tomorrow begins my time of covertly scooping up 75%-off Halloween stuff and then packing everything away so I can surprise myself w/ the things I got myself last yr and hunker down. It sustains me against the rest of the "holiday" season because Xmas started in Aug and really, that's just obscene

Dia de los Muertos For all of those who we have loved and lost I remember you

The comments show which genre/decade/age-group people are coming from

🥰 🫂 They are going to need a lot more than this, but this warms my heart. I often lament the fact that it takes a shared disaster to come to each other's aid. Why can't we just collectively do this, like, all the time?

These on-again/off-again relationships feel really abusive and those countries should get out while they can. I say this w/ every intention of gaining trust again at some point in the future, but right now we are possessed and should be exorcized. With a machete if necessary. We'll help, even.

@haveagayday.bsky.social DO WE NOT DO SHOUTY THURSDAYS HERE?! WE HAVE HAD A SKELETON DECORATING AND PUMPKIN CONTEST + POTLUCK AND SOMEONE BROUGHT IN TABLE TOP BABY SLUSHIE MACHINES AND ICE CREAM AND I'VE BEEN ON A SUGAR HIGH SINCE MONDAY AT LEAST NOON I JUST THOUGHT YOU SHOULD KNOW

Madera County - Coarsegold Youth Pastor (47) arrested for sexual assault of minor (15). "Digital evidence revealed extensive explicit messaging, photos, and videos exchanged between Kemper and the victim." That's grooming and predatory. There are others most assuredly. Bless the victim's bravery.

Any soybean farmer, or cattle rancher - or anything else in ag, for that matter - breathing a big sigh of relief rn has not been paying attention and needs to be told in no uncertain terms that whatever "deal" they think they have (or will)...isn't really. See "cease-fire" for reference

Man, the Missionaries did a number on the people. They forbade the ancient religion and dance, insisted that nudity was a sin, and banned their language and culture. Ke Akua and Respect The Culture in the same sentence got me baffled. How those two things can be justified together is totally wild

Work Halloween Shenanigans. Today was "wear pink" day (and a potluck), and for every person that wore pink the donation to #breastcancerresearch went up. We pretty much all wore pink. And ate well. Probably tomorrow, too.

You've already been defunded @npr.org At the very least fact-check these lying POS's You literally have nothing to lose

Dementia Don wants to test his mushroom boom-booms to make sure it still works. Anyone willing to "take one for the team"? PS where's Melania, she could at least make herself useful.

Just heard a giant load of 💩 excreted out of Ron Johnson's maw-hole on NPR with zero pushback. www.npr.org/2025/10/29/n...

When I was a little kid I was told "What goes around comes around" and "point a finger and 3 are pointing back at you" and "keep poking a bear and at some point it will poke back" Apropos of absolutely nothing

This is actually possible. We can do this. I have every faith in us. I may not live to see it, but I can spend the rest of my life striving for it and so can you

I want to share that I accompanied my step-dad to a cognitive test, and in the parking lot he couldn't find the door we parked in front of, massive issues navigating the 3 steps leading up to it w/o assistance. Once inside, he wandered around the room and tried to flirt w/ nurses 🧵

"Uncle Dick" was not only *not* my or my siblings' Uncle, he was a distant relation by marriage and maybe could've been a 3rd cousin or something. I have friends called "Lei Ray" and "Ray Ray" and absolutely everyone knows which one is being referred to simply by that.

#Maui An organization close to my heart, and which does excellent work for the community, is having a fundraiser gala! There will also be an online silent auction which you can participate in if you can’t attend. www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticket...

On Monday, October 27, WCK foods truck will be stationed in D.C.’s Navy Yard southeast neighborhood from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., serving thousands of meals to federal employees and their families. Locations may change as needs evolve— wck.org/relief/shutd...

My Momma's favorite color is red. She never wore red clothing, tho, and when asked why she would just say "it's so flashy-looking". She's made herself small almost all her life. It's her self-preservation mechanism and default. To not complain, draw attention to herself, defend herself...🧵

My Baby Brother, Niece and I at a Pumpkin Patch On This Day, 2016 Look how CUTE we are! 🥰

This is bigger than any one person, place, or time. This is reckoning with abuse of young children for sexual pleasure wholesale. It's #MeToo to the nth degree. LFG

One of my phae orchids is growing a leaf from the root-base. Is it making another? I've had them make keiki from spikes before, but never this. I wanted to repot it but now....? Should I leave it? And then what? #orchidsky #orchid #flowersly
