Jesus Tap Dancing Christ, I just saw a new Lume ad for their full body deodorant shaming women for smelling bad while GIVING BIRTH. Everyone associated with this company should be put in public stocks and have rotten fruit thrown at them for weeks.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

Sanders: We are not a poor country!

There is no excuse on God’s earth for people to have to choose between food and the medicine they need to stay alive.

AOC: I want to live in an America that guarantees healthcare to every person.

I want to live in an America that has a living wage for every person

I want to live in an America where you have free speech to express yourself and not be afraid of being put on a list or deported.

19. I cannot overstate how distressing this entire experience has been. The past week has been the worst of my life, and I find myself without my single greatest source of support, in my time of greatest need. 20. I am currently in my thirty-third week of pregnancy, and I am due to give birth to Mahmoud and I's first child on April 28th, 2025. We are expecting a son. The thought that Mahmoud may miss the birth of our son is devastating. 21. I am not exaggerating when I say that I would not have been able to get through my pregnancy without Mahmoud. At this stage of my pregnancy, I have biweekly appointments with my doctor scheduled. In just three weeks, those appointments will increase in frequency, becoming weekly appointments. Prior to his detention, Mahmoud attended almost every doctor's appointment with me. He cooks every meal for us, he cleans the house, he does our laundry and takes care of every need that we have as a household. 22. Mahmoud has been invaluable to me in helping me cope with the physical and mental impact of my pregnancy. Early on in my pregnancy, my doctor found indication that I might require a regimen to preempt preeclampsia, a very serious condition that can cause major complications for a pregnant person and their baby. I was prescribed two baby aspirin per day, and I am still supposed to be taking that medication. I forget to take medication, and Mahmoud reminded me to take the medication every night, getting it for me before bed. Since the agents took him away, I haven't been able to sleep well or focus and am afraid that I have forgotten to take that medication. 23. Just last month, on February 2, 2025, I had to be admitted to the hospital because I had not felt our baby in my stomach for a full day. I spent approximately four hours at the hospital, and Mahmoud supported me through the distress of being unable to feel our baby's movement in (page ends here)

When you don’t know what a Department of Justice is…

"closing time" by @eve6.bsky.social was a popular song in the 1900s about the nightly shutdown of the internet on school nights. not many people know this

Yo @durbin.senate.gov, no one is picking up your Senate phone and you don’t even have a voicemail. Vote no on cloture and the spending bill or I will do whatever it takes to make sure the next Senator from Illinois has basic constituent services set up during business hours.

Something I’ve had to embrace in cooking is that the only real failure you have is if food goes rotten and you just have to throw it away. Go ahead and fuck up cooking that weird thing, you’ll learn something, no shame in it. Everything should be organized around using your shit up.

I was tired today and needed a pick-me-up. The second cup of coffee didn’t do much. Then I saw Tesla stock down over 15% on the day, and it really did the trick!

Hey friend, you wanna drink strawberry milk and listen to podcasts that challenge gender roles??

It can be so helpful to have a trusted friend look over your work. Thanks Libby! ❤️

Tired of businesses making things where it’s like “if you don’t have time for lunch, Sponk is a full meal replacement drink”

first of all fuck you I want time for lunch

Cross stitch that says y'all means all with small pride hearts

And done with my latest cross stitch. I added the pride hearts to the pattern I got on Etsy.

Y'all means all.

It is wild to turn on CNN and hear about Trump's "foreign-policy strategy" as if this man puts any thought into what comes out of his stupid mouth. There is no strategy. There is only word vomit from Putin's biggest fan.

It needed to be done.

I just walked away from my phone, where I had been reading an article, for about five minutes. I come back to Bean with Spotify open, trying to listen to Gangsta's Paradise.

Playing video games while working and raising two small kids is funny because I'll be like "Oh man I'm so addicted to this game, I've been playing it every chance I get for the past three months" and then I check the number of hours I've played and it's like, 11
