What a week for CDC y'all! 😅 A reminder CDC staff are currently responding to: 1) Ebola outbreak in DRC 2) Hantavirus on a cruise ship 3) New World Screwworm in the US 4) World Cup emergency preparedness All while operating with a gutted workforce. Needless to say, staff are very depleted.

@littleedie.bsky.social 🐻

here's an idea: what if we take a 3000 year-break from the misogyny, white supremacy, exploitation reevaluate after and see what we think how might that go

Something I just need to get off my chest here: 50 is not old. 55 is not old. Why are there 55+ retirement communities and "sex after 50" and other marketing aimed at making it seem like we're in the anteroom of God's waiting area?

when the knuckle sandwich isn't enough

This is the inflection point for the political momentum shift in the US

Heroes are still among us.

The House just passed the clearest bipartisan rebuke yet of Trump’s war with Iran, voting 215-208 to order U.S. forces out of the fighting. It’s the first time a war powers measure has cleared either chamber since the conflict began three months ago—four Republicans crossed over to make it happen.

I always come back to how I think a key to Trump’s relationship to reality is that he attended Norman Vincent Peale’s church. Peale essentially put forth a version of the notion that you can shape reality with your thoughts It seems like a lot of people forget or aren’t aware of that

Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting Captain Fantastic Trump hopes America feels the love on July 4, but his combat colosseum has the White House looking like a Honky Château. With reluctant rocket men at home and madmen across the water in Iran, it's a wonder he's still standing. by Maureen Dowd

Like half of Trump 2.0 is a bunch of elder millennials who all got cursed by the same witch

Begging people to stop calling their state house representatives about the war powers resolution and start calling their federal senators. I appreciate your desire to be heard by your electeds but please call the ones that can actually vote on it.

They need to start the discrimination lawsuits right now.

How you know you're in Atlanta: you're at your regular watering hole and they're showing the Braves game instead of the NBA Finals. Also: go Knicks.

We went to our (large) storage unit today to bring more boxes and I am just overwhelmed by the amount of stuff we have. And there is so much more. I do not want to own so much stuff but it's also hard to get rid of (for various reasons.)

I really can't decide whether or not I like Threads. So much rage bait and people being argumentative for the sake of being argumentative — usually over nothing.

Finally the perfect patio night for sitting outside with a glass of rosé. A perfect night for it to finally happen, if I'm being perfectly honest.

Christians, don’t tell me that “a flag is not your identity” while wrapping your churches in the Stars and Stripes. Don’t tell me “pride is a sin” while supporting a man who literally made a golden statue of himself and portrayed himself as Jesus. /1

Wait till you see how much bigger I95 is than the Burj Khalifa

our pool is bigger than skyscrapers bigger than cars bigger than the moon! you can tell, at night! the moon falls all the way in you can see it at the bottom our scientists are working on a way to extract the moon from the pool and unlock its resources (cheese, footprints, discarded flags)

Multiple judges ruled that Alabama’s maps discriminated based on race. Yet the Supreme Court is bending over backwards to let them stand. This court will do anything to help Republicans stay in power. No matter the cost. They have lost all semblance of impartiality.

I want to be sitting on the patio of my favorite bar on a perfect summer evening.

I've put two kids through this school system, and have never seen anything so egregious as the current school board.

tl;dr: Alabama's ability to administer a new congressional map disenfranchising Black voters has been complicated by the fact that Alabama is celebrating Jefferson Davis's birthday today.

Had to share - MSM seems to be ignoring it.

I’ve been saying this for a minute, but China is going to ascend to dominance by providing stability and filling the vacuum the US left when we pulled out of literally everything we did reasonably well around the globe.

Happy Pride Month, everyone! ❤️🩷🧡💛💚💙🩵💜🤎🖤🩶🤍

This right here.

Ahem @dondrennon.bsky.social and @littleedie.bsky.social

Did I happen to mention that my daughter adopted a kitten? I decided that my kitty grandma name is Meowma.

happy Pride Eve to all the people who are about to paraphrase this tweet from 2022 or repost it with my name removed as if it’s a thought they just had themselves

This is an excellent line

NPR finally waking up to the BREAKING news that all racists are also misogynists: www.npr.org/2026/05/27/n...

Worth reading through this entire thread. Grateful to have men in my life who are doing the work.

I will keep saying this until people start understanding: Data centers are speeding up the wars of the future, which will be over water, not oil. This is not something to wait until after the fact to fight. If you will not be able to afford water, what do you think they will make you do for it?

Men need to do hard emotional things and face emotional realities The only way over is through

Do Democrats need their own human cage fighting match to celebrate America’s semiquincentennial?

I have not confirmed this yet but there may have been quite a fireball (bright meteor) over New England, and it created a shock wave heard by a LOT of folks. Nothing on the AMS site yet. fireball.amsmeteors.org/members/imo_...

Bet you didn't know the Sun looks like that.

Virgo: It’s a good week to try something new. Skydive. Learn a language. Feast on the flesh of your enemies.

Don't you hate when you have that one random thing at one random time, and you can't do anything else productive until it is over? In my case, it's a 15 minute phone call at noon.

As an anthropologist, I endorse this message!

WaPo treats that sick mf, like he is a Dan Brown's character.

“I think when the creative person ends, he continues in the next existence. I’m a person who believes this life isn’t the be-all and end-all of everything. A spiritual person doesn’t feel like that.” –S.R. (2009) 2/2

@nycsanitation.bsky.social I’d like to report a sweep

It takes intense sociopathy to make a supposedly solemn Memorial Day speech about yourself by cracking a joke—and then laughing at your lame joke about yourself.

Again, please share. In every aspect of American history you will run smack dab into the critical contributions of Black people. It’s not Black history. It’s American history. Trying to erase it is a fool’s errand. We live it every day. time.com/5836444/blac...

The best way to honor fallen soldiers is to avoid careless reasons to create more of them.
