I do think it’s funny that the USA broke from England to get rid of the monarchy so that no one would be above the law and yet only one of these countries has arrested a senior political figure in relation to Epstein and it wasn’t the USA

Fun fact: The eruption of Mount Tambora also led to weather conditions across Europe that forced a group of young artists who were hanging out together to stay indoors one summer and into starting a writing contest and anyway, that's how Mary Shelley ended up writing Frankenstein

Graphic with a blue background and large white text reading β€œDEAR AMERICAN FRIENDS.” Below is a screenshot of a post explaining that Canada does not have CBS, that a β€œ60 Minutes” episode aired normally in Canada, and stating that Canadian networks are not subject to U.S. government interference. The post ends with β€œWe’re not under a dictatorship. You are.”

America's richest 10% now hold 60% of the nation's wealth.

The bottom half of America? It holds just 6%.

Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.

Maybe it's easy to forget this as we all wade through the shit-flooded zone that is 2025 but "this country sucked and I, personally, made it great again" is basic entry-level fascism, and "this country sucked because of dirty criminal immigrants who I am now punishing" is actual fascism

if the national academies can say vaccines do not cause autism, so can your scicomm! don’t overcomplicate the message! people do not have room in their heads for it. life is already a lot, and when you’re a parent, that is ten times as true, especially today

The transphobic messaging completely failed to help Republicans tonight. The anti-trans propaganda was a losing strategy which the GOP pushed all their chips in on, and it failed miserably. They lost every major race tonight.

Thanks! They have an amazing range of styles from the 20s-50s or so and are pretty affordable - which is why I always end up needing an extra suitcase! 🀣

That's what we've been doing (I've gotten a new suitcase on each of my three trips to Britain in the last couple years, but more because I found this awesome little retro-clothing place in Exeter? πŸ˜‚ ) But I think we're going to try the Vimes Boots thing this time, only with suitcases

My husband has been traveling frequently for the last two years. The wheel on one suitcase finally gave up the ghost on his last trip - the whole assembly was still there but the wheel had just disappeared...
