Do Catholic leaders spend as long thinking about their Pope name as some people do thinking about future baby names? Cause I'd start thinking about it the minute I became a priest, but then again I'm a planner (and not Catholic.)

Texas conservatives who've championed book bans & anti-LGBT policies suffered big losses tonight in school board races. And They seem to have lost their working majorities to pass their policies in big school boards. I tracked these results in FOUR boards tonight. So a 🧵 on each ICYMI.

My friend is cancer free!!!!!!

Trans Lifeline is a good place to direct resources if you’re looking to help here fuck everyone involved with this decision

I'm not on Blue Sky anymore because I'm limiting my intake of current events. But I also run a small chapter of an LGBTQ+ organization, so it balances out.

The X-Files episode "Ice" is a perfect example of why animals generally don't battle members of their own species to the death (especially frickin parasites.) If the dog hadn't been there, the worms wouldn't have lasted past the cold open.

I don't think he knows what he's doing, but the people he's listening to definitely do.

it is done

"If America hasn't broken your heart, you don't love her enough." - @booker.senate.gov 😭😭😭 I feel this part of Senator Booker's speech in my gut.

Just got an email from a recruiter (of sorts) that started with "I want to personally reach out..." I was CC'd along with 451 other people. Lollllllll, and four minutes later she's trying to recall it.

Okay I'm gonna go back to hiding from the real world now!!!

Trying to ignore dudes being wrong on the internet about a nearly 15yo one season wonder.

Y'all. ❤️ #uglydogs

Actually sobbing right now 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 💜💜💜

#UglyDogs, I've been looking for a particular quote to share, but I can't find it. I'm pretty sure it was just something from the bird site, but it resonated. The gist was that the large donations get the attention, but it's the many, many, many small donations that feel like love.

And it's official! Over $100,000 raised so far and the red lantern is still a ways away.

For all of my normal peeps who don't know what's been happening: a certain race kicked out 3 competitors for being in last place. We're...unhappy, to say the least. So we've basically raised tens of thousands of dollars over the last 3 days out of spite.

First of all: WHAT Second of all: just over $3,200 to go!!!!! #UglyDogs #igivearod

I also would like to know if Pepe knows that I love her toes and her head and her tail and her nails and her ears 🖤🤍🖤

$55,786 on the tracker... We're gonna raise ten grand in less than 24 hours 😭💕 @igivearod.bsky.social #UglyDogs

I just woke up to $52,736 on the tracker!! We're using our feelings well 💜 #uglydogs #igivearod

Oh hey! What about a flood of $27 donations in honor of Q's bib number? #UglyDogs @igivearod.bsky.social

We’ve just exceeded an amazing $46,000 in donations, including 72 funded projects for 39 schools and nearly $7,000 for other Alaska organizations including housing and support for LGBTQ+ people, medical care for animals, funding for arts programs, and funding for shelters. #igivearod #mushersky

Hey #UglyDogs, we can't control the decisions of the Iditarod, but you know what we can control? The #igivearod! The magical spreadsheet is showing $45,999 in donations. Let's use our feelings and see how high we can get it!! Don't forget about the other ways to help! igivearod.com/other-ways-t...

Only $123 needed, #UglyDogs!! We got this!!

Checking in on the @igivearod.bsky.social Donation Tracker, and we're at a donation total of $12,130!!! #UglyDogs #Igivearod

@minnesotagirl.bsky.social hi Laurie, I'd love a sticker!! Happy to DM my info.

@igivearod.bsky.social Hello Igivearod! Can we encourage folks to change their Blue Sky settings and require alt text as a non-monetary way to participate? Find this option by going to Settings and then Accessibility.

@whtabtpineapple.bsky.social whoops I just hit the unfollow button by accident and then immediately refollowed. Just FYI if you see the notification

Happy feelings time: last night the mom of an nb middle schooler thanked our PFLAG chapter with tears in her eyes because her teen had gained so much confidence after attending their first meeting last month 🏳️‍⚧️ 🏳️‍🌈

69 dollars left!! (nice) #UglyDogs

Need some good news? 2025's #IGiveARod has now begun!! Read this story of how fans of a sled dog team channeled our excitement into some great causes in 2019, and follow @igivearod.bsky.social for updates on this year's happenings. #UglyDogs igivearod.com/past-drives/...

I'm gonna keep reposting examples of people not taking shit because it's important for us to see that you can, simply, reject the shit. Say "Uh... no no no, we will not be tolerating that."

Get your free tests ASAP!

I was just diagnosed with severe sleep apnea, so apparently I can't actually breathe without a computer telling me to 😂

I don’t repost the NYT anymore but if you looked at an American flag made entirely of Black men split down the middle and didn’t get “the larger statement”, that is a skills issue that lies with you, not with Kendrick Lamar. What absolute trash.

An American flag built on the backs of Black people... Black music protesting white political terror in registers they never hear; reminiscent of ancestral spirituals embedded with instructions for runaways All this in New Orleans... What a moment

Kendrick Lamar deserves to win the very first Nobel Hate Prize

THE SUPER BOWL HALFTIME SHOW IS UNION MADE! Shout out to Kendrick Lamar, and all the performers and behind the scenes workers that made this go off without a hitch!

That halftime show was so good. The set design was immaculate. The costuming, choreo, Uncle Sam? Kendrick was like, "no subtext here, they're gonna know exactly what I'm saying." I'm giddy over how mad people are gonna be about it.

Drake is the all-time biggest loser of a rap feud and that includes people who have gotten shot and died as a result of rap feuds

LET'S GO!!!! #PFLAGProud

Did you know your mobile phone's keyboard is probably leaking info? Here's how to turn that off for Android and iPhone: www.guidingtech.com/stop-gboard-...

Here's my hypothesis for the crash: we know the helicopter told ATC they saw the plane and would avoid it. I believe they saw another plane instead and missed the one ATC was referring to. A simple, preventable error that could've happened at any time regardless of politics.

At one time Jenna's answer would've been mine too, but Rob had to go and fucking ruin it. So now I stan a show that loved its characters AND its audience.

Plane crashes are a special interest of mine because we often learn from them and then create new ways to make flying safer. The military operates in the same airspace but does not follow the same systems, especially when communicating. This is not the first military/commercial midair collision.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

I have a big ask. My 9yo son is autistic and he’s been raising a betta fish he named Kevin. Yesterday He asked if he could “share a photo of Kevin with the whole world“. I don’t know if this will work, but a dad’s gotta try. Like and share if that’s your thing. Kevin says hi! 🐟👋

Decided I was ready to watch the Emmy-winning episode of Homicide called "Three Men And Adena." I was not, in fact, ready.
