They're here! The boys went on QUITE the shopping spree when I wasn't paying attention, and the delivery came today. #HausOfHands Don't they look spiffy? 🤓

The only thing keeping me going today is my emotional support chocolate orange (this year w/toffee crunch!). I get one every year for Giftmas & they're awesome. Related: I did the scary thing: called psych office for med management appt, b/c my primary doesn't want to deal with psych med mgmt.

no chat gpt for me. i will be asking the wilderness.

This is just the latest post is a long record of overtly white supremacist propaganda posted by these government accounts

The Department of Labor does it too, these are overtly racist and anti-worker

Its not that the media is not covering what is happening, but it does feel like the military occupation of an American city should be treated as a national crisis.

I've never seen him in this many clothes it's jarring

Oh my god she uploaded a slow motion video and it's amazing. He's just like me fr running as best he can and still going backwards over and over!

Broke down and got Ball's Complete Book of Home Preserving, and now the list of things I want to can encompasses a whole page in my planning notebook. 🤣💀🤣

there's always that one mutual that never really interacts directly with you but they will always like your stuff and you will communicate with each other through the silent like button but never really exchanged any words. i see you moot. i wish you well. smooch

"minnesotans only do this when they're extremely stressed" meme joke but like extremely dead seriously

You ever have those days where there are literal gaps in your memory and you can't piece together WTF past!you was trying to do? In a work context, I mean. Like, I was doing a thing last month, but I cannot for the life of me figure out what I'm missing/still need to do. Maddening.

After federal troops forced a fugitive slave named Anthony Burns back into slavery in the 1850s, one Bostonian wrote, “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.” The abuse of power radicalizes people. We are seeing that now.

Only 20 minutes until I find out if PTSD brain will let me watch S2 of The Pitt! I've managed a few repeat episodes of S1, but I also knew which scenes to skip, so 🤷‍♀️. I've already made poor MH choices this week, what's one more?

My 7+ year old Kindle is finally on its last legs. Looking into getting a Kobo or other e-reader instead, because Fuck Bezos. I'm 90% sure I backed up all my books locally, but even if I didn't 🤷‍♀️ Anyway, anyone have a Kobo or similar that they like?

I want to see a liberal politician come out with a statement saying "Stay strapped out there, we have the 2nd amendment to protect us from a tyrannical government" just to see how MAGA reacts

If I for some reason ever pass And they try to make my wife a roommate Or a shadow in my life Let it be known she was my heart. She was my everything. Not a shadow But the whole sun.

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

To quote Biggie, “If you don’t know, now you know.”

It is really hard to teach anything when there's no ground for any kind of shared empirical reality.

"I'm calling to demand the immediate dismantling of ICE for the murder of a woman in Minneapolis today and the impeachment of the President for his support of that murder" is the easiest call to my senators and representative I've ever made

one of the things i hate most about this persistent line of argument is the implication that any of these actions would be fine if groceries were cheaper

settings > content & media > autoplay video & gifs = off + this nifty option for posts that aren't gonna get snagged by mutes (from a person/account that you don't want to mute) but that you don't want to keep having come across your TL when it gets new comments:

A lot of videos out there that Mike Johnson will not have seen tomorrow.

Remarkable statement from an elected official.

Like the hatching of cicadas, the discovery that women are human with independent thoughts, emotions, and sexual desire, cycles around and everyone is surprised by it. Then everyone will forget and revert to unsatisfying slop until a new show emerges that we go berserk for, and it will start anew.

Lots of stuff happening, but I'm trying to focus on work and just get thru the day. This one is both helping and not, and I'd expect nothing else from her. 😂

This wheel is to the boy squirrel the way that the football is to Charlie Brown and it still makes me laugh every time he tries to use it only to be immediately spun.

I've not even been on discord lately so didn't know the Canyon server was having chili week, yet we made chili for dinner tonight & have more for the freezer. Apparently the hive mind can be activated even when you're not paying attention? 🤔🤣

Discomfort - be more comfortable with experiencing it Not taking it personally when you see sthg innocuous that rubs you the wrong way makes being on socmed far more enjoyable Not avoiding it when working on yourself physically & mentally can lead to changes/results that feel great to have earned

For any Titanic nerds out there, my colleagues in the UCL Marine safety group have just published an astonishingly detailed analysis and supercomputer simulation of how Titanic sank, linked to witness statements & the best available evidence. Full paper here: www.tandfonline.com/doi/epdf/10....

The maids left a door open and now my cranky torti cat knows there is an entire house upstairs that I've been keeping from her. No good can come of her having this knowledge. I have no idea how long she was out, but I found her on the top level so she had a good peruse of the place. 🙄

Anyway wishing that you find solace and soft places to land if you're currently feeling overwhelmed.

The destruction doesn't make for a photo-op like tearing down the East Wing of the White House or bulldozing the Rose Garden, but it's every bit as bad. Generations of American children learned to spell and count, learned the Preamble to the Constitution, from watching shows produced by the CPB.

Heh-Heh

Woo - first day back at work (from home) and I got to spend the morning at urgent care. Random bout of tachycardia & a headache. Nothing obviously wrong with me otherwise, so I'm just blaming work for being too stressful. Even though I'd barely logged in. 🙃

Being an American feels like getting on a school bus and then your bus driver decides to do a drive by

I was 14 when the US invaded Iraq. I can’t overstate how dumb 14 year olds are in general, but it still was clear that the stated reasons were fake and the whole thing would be a disaster. I was confused why so many people were ignoring the obvious. Anyway, shoutout to the 14 year olds of today.

Time to dust this one off again

The members who did the "don't follow illegal orders" video absolutely need to immediately do a "hey these were the illegal orders we were talking about and participating in them can expect to face consequences to the fullest extent of the law" video
