I would be remiss not to point out that "Tricking Milli Vanilli into performing a concert for a dictator" is LITERALLY a storyline from the 1990s 'Super Mario Bros 3' cartoon 🙃

It would be awesome if @libro.fm connected their database with www.romance.io so I could see spice level while browsing, or see if Libro had books I filtered to based on tropes. Because right now I have to switch back and forth, and it's annoying.

You know you are getting old when watching music videos from your youth involves ads for colon health.

The same mechanisms they used on Jasmine Crockett for the primaries they will use on Talarico in the general and of course blame the same voters 🙄

My latest podcast revisits the 2017 disappearance of a young woman who lived on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation. Ashley vanished after attending a party in a small Montana town. Her case isn’t just a mystery. It’s a reflection of a larger crisis: Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. 🔎

It's strange, but I get more disquieted when celebrities my dad's age die than my age. Probably because it's more common and less of an outlayer, but worries of his death have been bothering me for months.

We're turning 1 and we want to celebrate! Dump Musk actions are popping up across the US and Canada—find your local action or plan one yourself! No one is more responsible for our current mess than Elon Musk. Help hold him accountable. #TeslaTakedown #DumpMusk actionnetwork.org/event_campai...

Think the Trump Administration will change its mind on wanting Greenland when they find out it’s only about 10% white? Or will that make it worse?

I've made more attempts to hide my handwritting for a secret santa card.

#TeslaTakedown day of action on Saturday. Find a rally or set one up yourself at actionnetwork.org/event_campai... @teslatakedown.com

@muellershewrote.com, @dgcomedy.bsky.social Downingtown PA looks like it elected a trans woman as mayor!

There has been a mass shooting at Lincoln University, one of the nation's oldest HBCUs. Not a ton of details yet. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

It's 11 days until E-day. In VA, NJ, NY and CA there are races getting national attention, but there are local races nationwide. It's vital to turn out and vote in them. Convincing Republicans they need to fear a general election more than a primary may get them to break from Trump.

I sold 5 Portland Protest Frogs yesterday! Super happy. www.datadiva.net/product-page...

Reading the news really makes me want to curl up under a blanket and take a nap. For a few years.

🧵Stop calling it Argentina aid. It's a scam bailout to friends of Trump and his thug chums who had been making a lot of money off Argentina. The scam goes like this:

🚨If YOU rely on SNAP, please like this post, and if you could share YOUR story in the replies below.🙏 I'm SO reliant on SNAP as someone on Social Security Disability with a fixed income & have Medicare & Medicaid. We must speak out because we are NOT just a statistic we are FLESH & BLOOD! INHUMANE.

everybody keeps saying "the dems should go shoot press conferences by the east wing destruction" but i sort of doubt that would help the case--any spots in public areas where you could do this without white house permission won't have a very good view. There have been a lot of fences up for awhile

The No Kings rallies depleted our vital national supplies of posterboard and markers.

The artillery incident on I-5 is one of those things that if it came up in a writers room would be considered too far-fetched. I'm pretty tired of those happening every week or so.

Current plan is to go to No Kings with an inflatable purple bat. Should my sign say "This Administration Drives me Batty" or This Administration is Batty"? Any other bat-pun ideas?

It's National Coming Out Day. Check out these Queer Dinosaurs! Now available as a set of 10 for $50, but still also available at $10 if you just want one. www.etsy.com/listing/4383...

The more I see of the Portland protests the more affirm my belief that I would love the culture, but hate the weather.

I just posted a new deck box on Etsy. Only 4 in stock! www.etsy.com/listing/4378...

It says something great about Blue Sky that #Caturday is still trending on a Tuesday night.

As someone who both reads fanfiction and is interested in politics, I occasionally have to look twice to see if something said AO3 or AOC.

If you want to shop/donate to a thrift store, look and see if there's a Habitat for Humanity Re-Store near you. They have household stuff, not clothes, but tons of furniture, appliances, building materials, even cabinets. And it supports a genuinely good cause.

If you followed @killermartinis.bsky.social on Xitter, she's on Bluesky now. And recently did a podcast interview. www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-Ie...

Timeline cleanse for #Caturday. Cuteness overload 🥰🩷 Cred to: middlepets on TikTok

Something I haven't seen mentioned much on the school shooting that happened in Jefferson County, CO is that it is the same county where the Columbine shooting happened. And because of that, they had cat litter in lockdown kits, in case a student needed to go during a lockdown.

@thisdaypod.com There is a song by @davidrovics.bsky.social about the St Patrick's Battalion. youtu.be/7Zgxplp2XQo?...

Fuck. This is going to get bad.

I hope Charlie Kirk recovers and become an advocate for gun control. But I think it's more likely he recovers and says he still supports guns, because there is a lot more money waiting for him on that side.

No words.

May be wishful thinking, but I'm very much hoping the mid-cycle gerrymandering in Texas means more open seats/incumbents with new constituents, so they lose even more seats in '26

I'm enjoying Gavin Newsom's trolling of Trump as much as everyone else, but that doesn't mean I want him to be the next presidential candidate.

I just started using @goimagine.bsky.social, and have my first listing up. A 3D printed dragon that holds your gaming controllers. You can even mount them on walls! goimagine.com/dragon-contr...

In response to a right-ring group claiming credit for getting Costco to stop carrying mithopristone (something it never did), they should totally start carrying it.

Those annoying text messages? They likely all come from one place. @muellershewrote.com data4democracy.substack.com/p/the-mother...

Yup

As steps to fascism go, this is one of the weirder ones.

Paint me like one of your French cats #caturday

I am 100% not suprised that despite being rejected, Cuomo doesnt respect that No means no.

The behavior of Grok, named after the concept of truly understanding another being, shows Elon Musk is one of the least media literate people in history.

Mike pence cut money to Planned Parenthood when he was governor, which closed the clinic in the town I used to live in. Which didn’t perform abortions. The town then had an explosion of HIV.

Watching Mike Johnson lie in every breath about the contents of the Billionaire Bailout Bill while the people behind him cheer is really stomach turning. I'm not a huge Hakeem Jeffries fan, but at least he tried to stop it.

Busting out my rusty Vietnamese for the trade ‘deal’ with Vietnam. Trump là rất thông minh phòng.
