2 weeks ago I stopped at QFC on the way home and got THE best avocado roll for $6.99. Massive lumps of avo in chunker sized rolls. I was in heaven it was so good. Can’t find one at QFC since! I’m convinced it must have been the chef using up the leftover avocado at the end of the day 😭

A berry pie with a MN rebel loon logo baked into the crust. Cause FUCK ICE forever and ever

Felt like baking a pie today

A tariff “refund” mostly goes to whoever wrote the tariff check: the importer of record. That’s not the same person who paid more at the register. So refunds -- if they're offered -- might sound like consumer relief, but in reality, they're corporate windfalls.

Oh no, so sorry, thanks for the intel

Bluedrop Zen Bluesky messenger.

Here, I made a thing. It is free. An extension with the same DMs you get in the app, but dangling from your toolbar like a *champion*

Supports Firefox, Chrome, Brave, Edge.

ALSO. I put in Zen mode, for me. It hides all engagement metrics; no likes, no follows, no reposts, no nada. Do recommend.

A standing, female bat-eared fox looks upwards.

Have you heard? Fern probably has... she's all ears [almost]!

Bat-eared foxes like her use their enormous, five-inch-long ears to listen for prey, even when it's underground.

The “orgies” made me laugh out loud immediately when it hit me

She should be forced to watch Zone of Interest in an IMAX theater

I’m so tired.

The actual video clip says the files *accuse* Trump of these things, not show. It’s irresponsible to repost this and most likely why it’s not in quotes

ATTENTION BLUESKY

you don't want to watch the State of the Union next week

you want to watch a PowerPoint party telethon of your favorite Bluesky super posters delivering their most unhinged hot takes to raise money for mutual aid in Twin Cities and Portland

Poster's Madness for a good cause!!!!

The only question that matters

Because we are barely human to billionaires, we’re all just a test market. We are research, we and our children are political pawns to these soulless tech companies. And just like the chemical corporations, they calculate risk and fatality probabilities and decide it’s acceptable because, profit.

I just tried to text myself a remind to “Pay escrow” and my phone autocorrected it to “PAY ESCORT” 😭😭😭

This is after I realized I had a notes in a shared doc today with copy that said “ORG: IES”

Technology is a trap 😭

We also sliced up and fried the remaining wrappers and noshed on those like little piggies 🐷

In the dark we have heart 🤍🌎

The FBI is investigating #ExtinctionRebellion

A former member of #XRNYC was visited by the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force outside of New York City. This is not an isolated situation.
The administration has escalated to a new focus:
the climate movement.

Made egg rolls. Consumed egg rolls. Need a nap.

We will never be forgiven

I honestly wondered if this is why YouTube was taken down. I first saw a video of this little one two nights ago on YouTube. I’m sick.

The shelter I volunteer with has a unique adoption situation right now and I'd be so grateful if people could share to anyone they know in Vermont who might be a good fit. This is Devon, and his story is a little complicated so please click this link to find out more! www.hsccvt.org/Cats#sl_embe...

BREAKING: An immigration judge has *terminated* the Trump-Vance administration's efforts to deport Columbia pro-Palestine student protestor Mohsen Mahdawi.

Mohsen was first detained 10 months ago, when agents ambushed him at a citizenship interview.

Let them eat bugs! ☺️

Tomorrow's the 84th anniversary of Executive Order 9066, and I hope people of Japanese descent will remind folks that a lot of our ancestors were marched into mass detention regardless of birth certificates. I'd thought part of the government apology years later was to stop doing that.

Bummed the front yard bird feeder grew mold, too much to try to save it 😩

I love the PNW but I’ll never get used to how fast things mold or break down because of all the moisture

“THE LATE SHOW was not prohibited by CBS from broadcasting the interview with Rep. James Talarico.” Great, so let’s air it tonight instead for anyone who hasn’t seen it yet!

I don’t know what to do 😞

Could NOT function Friday so I was going to do all my copy editing over the weekend. Did I? Nope. I had a morning review sync and so I was going to get up early and do it. Did I? Nope. I ended up with an hour of crunch time and knocked it all out in 45min and enjoyed it! Good review too.Yay ADHD 😂
