"Struggles to find"? He's not struggling with his messaging. He lies, and expects everyone to believe his lies.

I came home from work, put on fuzzy pajamas, and i'm making cookies. Happy Holidays, n'at.

Anybody in Chicago have any Buckfast they wanna offload on the Aimee Mann & Ted Leo Christmas Tour?

Pertinent to our interests, @allthingsnoisy.bsky.social ?

Ossoff: "This is one of the most consequential votes this Senate will take all year. By saying yea or nay to the clerk of the Senate later today, senators will decide whether people live or die. Senators will decide whether Georgians & folks across the country are financially ruined or have a shot."

Instead of talking about everyone's feelings, can we talk about facts? Are those still things? (I am so tired of polls.)

I forgot I bought tickets to Friday's showing of The Shining.

Wait, what IS going on here?

Important seasonal information

Something is wrong with Nancy Mace.

GOOD

Look at these pretzels. The 15yo made them.

This guy wants babies to die. If not vaccinating them doesn't work, he'll make sure they starve.

If it hasn't been said, I'll say it: No woman of color would ever be defended in this "she's just a smol bean" fashion & many Black, Latina, Asian & Indigenous women have had their lives & careers destroyed for nothing, or for far, far less. Same goes for trans women. These are just fucking facts.

The President of the United States unilaterally levied a tax on all of us and is redistributing our taxes to a core segment of his supporters.

Ruin a Christmas song with proper grammar

Amazing. File under The Kids are All Right

I am starting to think I missed the opportunity to put up my outside Christmas lights. And now if I decide to do it, my fingers are going to freeze.

This all day Every woman who lives long enough goes through this shit, and we are all surprised and dismayed at what is going on with our bodies. And most of our docs (even female docs) shrug and tell us that's how it goes.

LFG

why some people be mad at me sometimes they ask me to remember but they want me to remember their memories and i keep on remembering mine. + Lucille Clifton

How can he possibly be better looking IRL?? I bet he smells amazing. Jealous

I feel seen

NEW — I put together a list of independent journalism subscriptions that would make great holiday gifts. From music to politics, astronomy to alcohol, tech to social justice, there’s something for [almost] everyone. Support indie media *and* surprise and delight your loved ones! My guide:

You know who protects the most vulnerable in our society? Mothers.* So good luck with that.

I was thinking the same thing. Like, when we show up to watch, who do they think will swing?

Does Pittsburgh know?

The 15yo cleaned and vacuumed the front room, and put stuff that needs to go back to storage in my car. I am sitting on my butt in the kitchen, reading a book.

Another item added to the Change This Back When He's Gone list. PA is so proud of Adm. Rachel Levine.

It starts with knowing the truth. Don’t allow yourselves to be gaslit into believing this is a real question.

Raccoons trying to get in the headlines

FIFA just gave me an EGOT. #humbled #grateful

100% I will add here it is not for women to fix. It is up to men to fix their hearts (and so much else)

good info here

I cannot express to you how much hope this gives me

It's really frustrating that a lot of the media just sort of frames the Trump admin as "wading into a hot debate over trans issues that have roiled american politics" when it's like, clear that they are motivated by a desire to demean trans people

I wouldn't necessarily have predicted that this one story would get to me more than many others, but I feel heartsick. Every married woman who takes her husband's last name has changed their legal name. Legal name changes aren't a matter of opinion - Rachel is her name.

Such hateful, petty, bigoted trash bags. Their hate will never erase the history she made.

This administration and their petty, ugly actions can fuck off into the sun.

yeah it does take some of the schadenfreude out of watching a horrible woman be appropriately punished for her horribleness when she is the only one it happens to 💀 but this is America, where sex is always punished worse than killing people, so

Pretty much 😒

The Roberts Six have thoroughly politicized the Court and turned it into a reliable arm of the RNC. Democrats should have no reservations about calling them out for it, demanding resignations from these bought-off hacks and running on a promise to enact sweeping reforms.

Just sayin' dawnpatton.medium.com/gender-affir...

Too often, people who say "I hate small talk" and "I need authentic, deep conversation" really mean "I will drone on relentlessly about whatever I like and never ask you a question or allow you to contribute"

Pittsburgh area friends, a message from the Allegheny Health Department! It’s a law that rental units must be able to heat to at least 68 degrees. If your heat can’t keep up, and the landlord won’t fix it, the Health Department can help!

Ooh, boy, I have the blue meanies tonight

rfk jr wants to kill your kids, it’s really that simple.

Sinéad would NEVER
