This is maybe a quarter mile from my house, just a little pocket of prairie hill country someone forgot to develop. It’s what my neighborhood looked like before it was my neighborhood.

They are sleeping right now.

The place I went to treatment was in the district next door to Kean's and has a long-term treatment program that is a minimum of four months. Just saying.

Responses telling me Texans "are stupid" and or that electing a Democrat here is a lost cause or that I should move (or that people in general should move) will get a block.

If Trump doesn't endorse Cornyn, Paxton has much better odds.

A taco is also good.

A sandwich and some water can’t fix everything, but they can fix a lot.

I don't know where chonky Sequoia is, but LOOK AT the one half-in and half-out of the play cave. SO TIE-TIE. (I think that's Mesa.)

Everyone should still get their abortion pills now. You can buy them for future use and keep them on hand even if you, personally, cannot get or have no reason to think you will get pregnant. Someone else you know might. aidaccess.org/en/faq

Responders to this post that argue we are all actually doomed, sandwich or no, will get a block or mute depending on the severity of the doomerism.

I was so distracted by the puppies yesterday I missed this note from the park. Those rocks must be... *gorge-ous.*

This is your reminder that sometimes it feels like the world is ending and we're all doomed but all you really need is a sandwich. And probably some water.

Today on the podcast, @wkamaubell.bsky.social talks with @mike-eagle.bsky.social and @anamariecox.com about what it's like having three kids, nine jobs, and one very bad assistant (it's him). Ad free and extended on patreon.com/pastdue www.patreon.com/posts/can-yo...

THEY ARE PLAYING RIGHT NOW, Y'ALL. RIGHT NOW. If you tune in RIGHT NOW, you will see them playing. This is not a drill. PLAYING.

"The existence of this tangled, incestuous network of professional organizations, relationships, norms, financial obligations, institutions, etc has created a world in which challenging the individual power and influence of the Court and its justices is simply impossible." #icymi

very good and it zeroes in on a really important dynamic: the way the professionalization of the court and the industry around it serves to insulate the justices from democratic feedback as well as contribute to the idea that the justices are law wizards to whom we *ought* to defer.

Golden Hour featuring Hans

Tired: have you tried therapy? Inspired: have you asked internet strangers for cute animal pix?

Asking strangers for cute animal pix is not a replacement for therapy but it's cheaper and available on demand.

Animal pix, please.

and your dogs. please also remember to post pictures of your dogs. even if your dogs are cats.

@adamserwer.bsky.social is the most incisive yet humane essayist writing today. #icymi

I spent 4 hours taping a video essay about bipolar disorder this morning and I wonder why I'm sitting in a dark room with zero ability to focus.

This is most podcast I've ever seen.

The Dream Scenario! If this would just work it’d be both quicker and soooo much cheaper than the next best solution (which is ofc shootmenintospace.com from @anamariecox.com)

Watching Dean Winchester hit things has gotten me through the Trump years. Cathartic.

I am so sad about The Boys ending I finally pulled the tab on Supernatural and ok fine I admit it. It’s delightful.

happy mother's day, here's 17 minutes of colleen donaghy www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9oH...

This hasn’t just broken containment. It’s reaching escape velocity.

MAKE IT SO. No screwing around. We're up against anti-democratic, fascist white supremacy. Use every legislative tool possible.

The Pike’s Peak Humane Society has a social media manager who is very good at their job

After making massive cuts to Medicaid and SNAP to fund Trump’s deportation agenda, the GOP is trying to give ICE and Border Patrol billions more for detention camps, raids, and militarized crackdowns. It’s extra important for Republicans to hear from their constituents right now. 👇

The problem with binging Hacks is that I always walk away thinking I will eventually write a screenplay.

People who have lost their moms, mothers who have lost a child, people who desperately want to be moms and can’t be, people who have strained or no relationships with their mothers…. It’s a big boat. 💔 You are not alone.

"The way I always describe it is that it’s like a bomb going off in that there’s the immediate impact, but then there's always sort of the lingering side effects on the folks that remain." @jcollins.bsky.social reports on the continued impact of Operation Metro Surge inside the Twin Cities. #ICYMI

Lynx held a moment of silence for Alex Pretti and Renee Good ahead of the season opener at Target Center:

You can be relieved someone recanted some shit without considering them an *ally.* I mean, we need a big tent but the tent has edges.

When you look back at fascist movements and think, "That, but MORE SO," you're either Eric Kripke or Donald Trump and there are no other answers.

Just thinking about people who care enough about LinkedIn to check and see if posts there are written by AI.

I don't think I'm tough enough for the Vidal Sassoon regiment in the new resistance but I certainly know some stylish young people who are. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/...
