We hosted a foreign exchange student from China in 2015 and he was casually appalled by my size 12-ness.

I hope you've kept up your smiting skills.

I'd say Saturday, selfishly. Most of the podcasts I listen to regularly post Tues-Thur and by Saturday, I'm out of new episodes.

That's gorgeous and I'd buy it if it was for sale!

Similar: when my then-teenage son had surgery a few years ago, they clipped a little peppermint sticker to the top of his hospital gown to help w post-anesthesia nausea & it worked great.

Yes

If you feel this way, you're not along. And together, we're going to keep the Republic. Pass it on.

How is it possible that DOGE has been able to fire/lay off thousands of federal employees? How?

The Justice Department is not the president's personal law firm. You are not his lawyers.

The free press should be exactly that — free. If the facts they report don’t align with the president’s propaganda, tough.

And this statement is a disgrace to the DOJ and the rule of law.

Yes, my kids were disturbed by all of the holiday/special event visitors...We had to put Easter baskets and Christmas stockings on the back porch. Tooth fairy, forget about it. Loosing teeth is traumatic enough.

I'm so sorry. This is terrible.

Until he couldn't turn his head any further.
Once we finished squawking/panicking, I wanted to follow him in our car bc he was headed toward the crowded ice cream place & i was sure he was gonna murder children.
We couldn't find him.
Noone else had seen him.
I felt like it was a fever dream.

head was cocked to the side, and he was peering into the car window. Hands in pockets of oversized knicker-style pants.
We made eye contact. I froze like a startled rabbit. Then clutched at my husband (oblivious up til now) & fumbled for car door locks.
He kept strolling by, not breaking eye

Pleasant midwestern suburb, late spring, twilight.
My husband & I were in our car, eating froyo & chatting. Caught movement in corner of my eye, glanced out the window to see a man dressed up like....a vintage joker? That's the closest style I can describe. Huge painted smile, white face. His

That actually happened to me! I still don't know wth.

I appreciate that you are not horrible.

When my youngest was in 3rd grade, he fell off the monkey bars and broke his wrist. We didn't find that out until a full week later, when we finally took him in for an xray. It just didn't look that bad & he wasn't acting like he had a broken bone. Tough little tater.
Hope your son's arm heals quick

Yes, more of this. Thank you!

Good morning ppl! It’s Friday and in the Gov world, that means extra fuckery is a foot. Don’t be shocked by the news dump and shit today. We do have an action plan for the day though. If you see a congressional rep dropping a post here, lite them up in to moments! They are getting no pushback here.

I haven't seen them crying around here. I live in a small college town and yesterday there was an anti ICE demonstration on campus. My friend who works there had to get in between the Magas who showed up and the student protestors bc the Maga were threatening them (the kids)

Kash Patel was just confirmed by Senate Republicans to follow through with President Trump’s agenda of revenge and retribution against his "enemies list." He has no business leading the very agency that he’s called to dismantle. I voted NO.

Trump Administration Reverses Layoffs At These Federal Agencies—After Accidentally Cutting Bird Flu, Nuclear Staff Some employees at the National Nuclear Security Administration, which oversees the U.S.’ nuclear weapons, were reportedly summoned back to work after being laid off last week.

Egg prices are up.

The bird flu outbreak is spreading.

Musk and Trump fired the workers responsible for combating the outbreak.

I reread 'It' during the first administration bc nothing was as awful as an ancient shape-shifting demon clowning it up in small town Maine.
Hard to know how to top that.

👋🏽 Here’s just a snap of what we at @thedemocraticparty.bsky.social did today👋🏽

Trump rode to political prominence on birtherism and spent the last month of his campaign claiming that Haitians were eating cats.

The rise of authoritarianism in America *must* be understood as a misinformation crisis.

I'm looking for you to loudly and repeatedly speak out about this.

Yes, more of this, please. I want to hear you shouting about this every day. There is a dangerous coup happening as we watch.
And it SEEMS LIKE Dem leadership is doing nothing.
Are you?
