my heart wants a beautiful, neatly arranged home like the ones featured in architectural digest. but my spirit wants to adopt as many cats and dogs as my living space humanely allows. very difficult dilemma.

My first thought was that's how she smiles right before she eats your heart

Dems need to start talking more about how Trump’s dementia means that he can’t distinguish his fantasies from reality. He has completely lost touch with the real world and only knows what his sycophantic courtiers are telling him.

I've seen this go by a few times on TikTok now and I have to say, I love this idea. We need a way to convince people to keep running even if they don't win, maybe building the loss into it as a troll move is the secret.

1. Campaign on big issues that are directly relevant to your voters

2. Don't get distracted from point one

3. Present as a decent human with manageable baggage

4. Don't be old as fuck.

Go forth and do likewise

listen, if you're ever despairing about your art or whatever, just ask yourself "is anything i ever make going to be as stupid as a cybertruck?" ✨

A screenshot of the accessibility options in the Bluesky iOS client in dark mode. There's an option titled "alt text" with a slider for the option to "require alt text before posting". This should be turned ON.

I'm seeing so many excellent memes and screencaps today missing their alt text!

Please include *everyone* in your joy! Go to Settings > Accessibility, and turning on "Require alt text before posting." This way a reminder will pop up if you try to post an inaccessible image

Interesting! I live on land that used to be a prune orchard in Gilroy. Now I'm wondering if it could be the same place

I have been confronted with an ad for Advent calendars and so it is time for the annual PSA:

THE TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS BEGIN

ON

CHRISTMAS

THEY ARE NOT ANY OF THE DAYS LEADING UP TO CHRISTMAS

THAT IS ADVENT

WHICH BEGINS FOUR SUNDAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME

So many examples of every day life that get fucked up every time Republicans slash budgets and bin legislation.

"Want to rely on food that won't poison you? You need laws with teeth and inspectors with the training and education to force corporations to follow those laws. That's the government!"

What the whole thread ☝🏽 is about: you make it so that EVERYBODY--regardless of wealth or political affiliation or friendly/familial relationship with the clown in the WH--has to adhere to rules FOR THE GOOD OF SOCIETY AS A WHOLE.

We can't "I'll just buy something else" our way out of this hole.

I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.”

It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”

Dear Democratic Members of Congress:

I am urging each of you to adopt a food pantry this week. Make it clear that Trump and the GOP are withholding $5 billion in a contingency fund that could fund SNAP benefits and feed Americans, so you're adopting a food pantry in your district.

On top of everything the fuck else, a crucial task of the insurgent wing of the Democratic Party right now is to make it the anti-Nazi party in US politics.

Just because he's acting like he's never leaving is no reason for you to act like he's never leaving.

Tweet: @vexwerewolf Right-wingers literally straight-up admitting "it's harder to discredit the left because the left is almost always telling the truth" Scott Jennings @Lum 21h um, yes, that's really a problem Show this thread 9 paints • 12 hrs The problem with left-leaning media is they're intrinsically more strict with their propaganda to only using verifiable sources so it's really hard to poke holes in their ideology and arguments in comparison to a lot of low quality rightwing content. That makes attacking their points with fact checkers not very effective unless the fact checkers use misinformation tactics as well. In essence people on the right have to work harder and more creatively to push their agendas as statistics and studies frustratingly arent usually on our side.

Amazing

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Years ago Captain Awkward advised a young man who said he couldn't get dates because he didn't understand women to try consuming art made by women for, say, the next six months. I think that's great advice for better understanding any demographic: consume the art they make. They want you to see them

"Them" don't sound very smart. I've always felt you positively glow with nerd cred

I always love StoryTime, they're all good, but I love this one especially

That's a great picture of you

Richard Goodwin Researches, Revives Medieval Traditions Richard Goodwin is the point person for the Shire of Iron Ox, an organization that researches medieval history and teaches pre-17th century combat techniques.

The Shire of Iron Ox branch of the SCA, which covers the greater Jackson metro as far out as Meridian and Vicksburg, has existed since the mid-1970s. The branch takes its name from the abundant red yazoo clay in the area, the color of which is due to the presence of iron oxide in the clay.

Yes, transgender for everyone that wants it
