maybe i am going insane

I think about this every day of my life actually no one has ever understood the assignment better

More of this, please.

be the bigolas dickolas you wish to see in the world.

I am, again, begging cafes and restaurants to please stop offering Early Grey as the default black tea. Absolutely inappropriate and violent.

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics. It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT. It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse. Transgender care saves lives.

Tina Kotek has been trying to kill preschool for all for the super rich just to watch them keep making historically large contributions to the Republican Party.

The way Bluesky works is that everyone is from the country they say they are but all the accounts are operated by versatile actor Jeffrey Combs

narrator: 50 years ago... me: [nods] in 1945 narrator: in 1975... me: what

How many more times do we have to repeat this before we (as a society) begin to believe evidence over biases? UBI works EVERY TIME!

so, so good. run it as a political ad.

I wanna open an Escape Room It'll just be a nice soft room full of stuff to help you escape from the real world. Games, puzzles, kittens, musical instruments, books, writing supplies. Someone will ask you if you've had any interesting dreams lately. You can't leave until you've fully escaped.

"Malort advent calendar" is already such an unhinged concept but every little window just having Malort in it really pushes it over the edge into something transcendently funny

1. The Trump administration has just quietly updated the State Department website to indicate that it may invalidate transgender people's passports. This comes a week after a SCOTUS ruling blocking lower rulings allowing trans people to update them. Subscribe to support our journalism.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Never forget the same people defending pedophilia have spent years trying to convince the public that drag queens and trans people are a threat to children. It’s all smoke and mirrors to allow the real predators to roam free.

Not saying this would change everything but sure would be nice to get open access to scholarly journals as a K-12 teacher

spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

In case you were suddenly out of nowhere wondering if Johnny Marr's name was a play on "j'en ai marre" it's not. I just checked.

THEY PEPPER SPRAYED A BABY THEY PEPPER SPRAYED A BABY Please read this entire excellent piece by Caroline, which points out that a judge ordered the Feds (again) to stop doing **this exact kind of thing** and they are still continuing to do it all over Chicago

The older I get, the more tired I become of the uncurious.

I can just tell this is the best thing I'm going to see all day.

I'm single. No kids, no claims, no pre-existing conditions. The cataclysmic leap from paying $50 a month to $1,228.28 a month is a level of devastation the depth of which I'm struggling to articulate. I wasn't going to be able to afford when I thought it was going up to $350 a month. And now...😵

My red line has always been lowering health costs for Americans. Donald Trump and Republicans don’t want an agreement that meets that bar. I’m a no.

Still our president in my heart. @wyden.senate.gov @jeff-merkley.bsky.social hold the line!!! All y'all, HOLD THE LINE!!!

What's a risk you'd be more comfortable taking if Universal Basic Income (UBI) provided a floor of income you could never fall below?

Lorna is the best of the best

It is difficult to see how an injunction requiring the government to abide by the constitution could be a burden

No Noise November. everybody shut up

Today is also the 50th anniversary of the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. Gordon Lightfoot - Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald (Official Audio) - YouTube share.google/wmlFrGReo6JS...

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028

Just a reminder of the type of coverage @teenvogue.com could have given us on Cheney if they hadn’t fired all their political staff

How is this even real? Are they filming a Christopher Guest mockumentary in there?

Is the grim reaper claw machine person still doing their thing or did they retire after Kissinger finally corked it?

50 years later: "Did one of you kids bring onions and mustard in here?! You know you're gonna trigger one of grandpappy's flashbacks!"

If you think your kids aren't old enough to hear about what's happening in this country, remember that there are millions of kids their same age who don't have that choice.

As a parent of a trans kid, part of what shatters my heart is that The Discourse around trans kids is just loud and constant. She has good framing, but the barrage of hate is exhausting. Every day for her is so much more work than for her peers, because she has to hold up her shields constantly.

Cuomo fell victim to one of the classic blunders: The most famous of which is, "Don't sexually harass 13 women on your gubernatorial staff." But only slightly less well-known is "Never go in against a Democratic Socialist when affordability is on the line."

“Diversity can be a weakness if you have antipathy among groups, Jonathan,” Mr. Cuomo said, mistaking Mr. Daniels for his co-host Jonathan Capehart, both of whom are Black." …Bro did you seriously just…? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/01/n...

this is probably the year when the time change into darkness makes everyone go the rest of the way insane

Yes, this. We were at a cart pod in our nbrhood last night and there were lots of families & kids. A group of teenagers arrived and one started playing Bohemian Rhapsody incredibly well on the public piano that's there. I know it sounds fake but it was such a real moment of lovely community.

Let them eat Statuary marble, apparently

Doing my yearly Nightmare Before Christmas viewing and just noticed that when Dr. Finkelstein is creating his new creature he gives it the left hemisphere of his brain which means he can't read now. (and I'm sure there are many other complications but that's my first thought)

If you see this, quote with a vampire that isn't Dracula

During family-teacher conferences tomorrow afternoon, I get to work with a room full of talented and dedicated paraprofessionals! Students reap the benefits when schools invest in the learning and development of paras. 🖤🧡🤓 #EduSky #EduCoach

HAPPENING NOW: Portland Police Commander Franz Schoening testifies that federal officers on Oct. 18 barraged protesters with crowd control munitions — not because of any violence but because another federal officer accidentally shot tear gas onto the roof of the ICE facility.
