I came 🤏🏻 this close to quitting my job yesterday. I initiated a leave of absence and this morning my life suddenly feels manageable.

Happy Friday, everyone. Today is a Yes day.

Yes, you may.

Her name is Brody

There is not a single place in Kansas, where it is practical to rely on public transportation and live without a drivers license.

TONIGHT!!

my local park is full of hundreds of snow sculptures and someone has been adding museum labels

This guy gets it.

I’m in a real struggle to pick sides here.

I'm asking that we all raise our political expectations. We deserve good things.

Tuesday, the Leavenworth City Commission will review CoreCivic's special use permit application. If approved, ICE activity will expand across KC.

As the City Commission hears public comments, we will be protesting outside City Hall to tell leaders we don't want the facility in Kansas! Join us!

Beautiful resistance

Poll taxes are unconstitutional. Any i.d. that is required to vote has to be provided by the government.

This is a way to disenfranchise the poor.

Call your senators.

I just couldn’t be bothered to post an announcement of any kind for our 2nd kid. Now I see the opportunity I created but wasted.

No amount of FOMO could get me to consider another one though.

No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

I say this regularly. People use performative as a substitute for 'inauthentic' and we could all just say the words we mean to say. Erving Goffman helps us to understand that we perform all of the time in real life. Life itself is often a performance of self.

this shit is so Kafkaesque

I will not vote for any candidate who runs with "we need to move forward" and refuses to prosecute this administration for every single one of their crimes. Accountability is all.

Reporter: Do any of you have a favorite animal?

Child: My favorite one is a gold snake that can move. It has gold eyes, and it has a super-duper tail…

Reporter: Mr. Mamdani, the second question for you.

Mamdani: Yes. It’s also the golden snake.

Direct primary care.
I don’t know how anyone raised kids before this service.

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

For every community pushing back on detention centers. This is the way! Do not let people with power tell you they can’t do anything.

What if! Instead of fundraising for a new center, they deputize indie theaters across the country as honorary Kennedy Centers and residents get free passes for a show of their choosing… !?

I will not, under any circumstances, engage in a debate about this. Because this is correct and they’re both treasures.

CHICAGOANS!!!!

Voting is open for the annual snowplow naming contest. And “Abolish Ice” is one of the options.
