Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

Happy June, and happy LGBTQIA Pride month!

Uncle Thad's annual reminder:

Why in the hell is ABC News referring to Denali as Mount McKinley?!

Just...no.

Happy Memorial Day! We are feeling much joy and gratitude for the heroes in our families who defended our democracy, even before they ever wore a uniform. We miss them for now, but know we will see them again. If you're missing heroes today, we hope your memories of them will be a blessing to you.

A happy Pentacost to those observing today. It's a highlight of my day to get to hear and sing, "Hail Ye, Festival Day!"

Dear @nytimes.com CANDIDA is a word. www.health.com/candida-over...

100%. A dumbass who runs his mouth about things he knows nothing about and acts on whim has cost us BILLIONS of dollars and left us worse off than where Obama had positioned us. He is an unmitigated disaster. And the world is laughing at us.

More good news this week. share.google/ScENMZO2LcDh...

BRB - gonna do some tiling.

Testing new camera.

Breakfast with strawberries from the garden is such a treat.

The fragility of the conservative ego is a clue as to why its drawn to conservativism in the first place.

This isn't --- and never has been --- about sustaining the law.

I'm glad people are waking up. Just makes me sad that there had to be so much human suffering before they got to this point.

It's so funny to me to see guys walking around in sandals that are at least two sizes too big for them. Dude, don't be ashamed of your size 8.5's. Own it and rock it. You won't look worse than you do now wearing clown shoes.

Don't look now, but America got even more unaffordable. All because low-information voters gave the keys to the shop to an absolute loser. apnews.com/article/us-i...

Happy Monday. Just do your best, darlings.

Happy Mother's Day, you mothers. You know who you are and what you've done.

@nytimes.com - please buy your Games editor a dictionary.

This morning, I'm reminiscing about a simpler time.

I believe in repentance and forgiveness. True repentance includes: confession of wrongdoing, remorse, stopping current wrong, not starting more wrongdoing, and paying one's debts to victims and society. Forgiveness doesn't come INSTEAD of these steps, but AFTER. www.sltrib.com/news/2026/05...

Republican voter suppression is real. Illegal aliens voting is not.

Just another example of the collateral damage caused when an elected official moves on impulse rather than facts and planning.

Happy Cinco de Seis!

Lost my streaks on both Wordle and Connections today! :-(

@nytimes.com - GLEBE is absolutely a word. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glebe

Happy Friday, you gorgeous bitches.

Hope all of you who follow people who go off about how "DEmOcrAts aReN't DoiNg EnOUgh to stOp REpUbliCAns" go on their pages tonight and make sure they are celebrating this. MAKE THEM. bsky.app/profile/thad...

WAY TO GO, DEMOCRATS!!! House Republicans just passed the Senate-approved DHS budget, which funded everything except ICE and Border Patrol. House Republicans made employees and the public suffer, when they could have just done this over a month ago.

Grandma always said you could tell a man's character by the company he keeps.

Happy Thursday! Wish me luck as my constriction project goes for final inspection today. 🙏🤞🏼

Are we EVER getting more Chelsea Detective?! I NEEEEED Adrian Scarborough in my life!!

Don't look now, but the people who spent the last 25 years threatening "Second Amendment solutions" when they didn't get their way are now indicting people for "reckless language."

MAGA's latest attempt to discredit Governor Spanberger is to call her an outsider and show her in profile. The text often claims her outsider-ness comes from her being originally from NJ, despite the Constitution granting a _national_ citizenship and allow citizens free movement between states.

This right here.

Three essential prayers: help, thanks, and wow. All are reassuring and refreshing in their season and in their own ways.

I'm in love with the little strawberries growing in my garden. 💙🩷🩶🤎🧡
