Gorgeous capture ❤️

Some spaces are sacred, even though assholes from outside the state drive too fast in the park LOL

Just because there are some calm places and we need to remember to seek them out and appreciate them after pushing back against the atrocious actions threatening to take them away

Oh, 💯 I feel SEEN. Add to this also reading across several genres and non-fiction/fiction at the same time to “keep on my toes”. Shit. Reading RULES (but seriously, where are my car keys?)

two men are talking to each other and one of them is saying `` i said bill bitch '' . ALT: two men are talking to each other and one of them is saying `` i said bill bitch '' .

I can’t with these people. Literally need to spin tragedy versus acknowledge it.

You both help keep me sane! Thank you for all you do!

Anyone can throw spaghetti at a wall…. Launching it with tactical weaponry and the most lethal forces on the planet is … beyind reckless. Doing so without congressional authorization or regard to the homeland or citizenry abroad is unacceptable.

Soooo the couch was an “instinctual decision” …?

I almost spit out my drink. Well played.

Same. Like… it’s the classic delay move by people who don’t have a real answer or understanding of scope.

This man and his obsession with two week time frames.

My kiddo was super intense and dis-regulated on Saturday morning, so my hubs and I called it and took her to the library instead. We do what we can. I was able to explain the difference between good and bad elected officials that day as well so, it is a win for our family.

We do what we can ❤️

The stupidest people are in charge because we couldn’t prosecute a political crime because it would look too political.

Censure. This shit is what that is for. Not for attempting to ask questions at a press conference.

Guess my question is: how many Republicans, in light of the assassination and attempted assassination in MN this morning, spoke out or showed up at a march.

Today I focused on family and supporting my neighbors.

Complicit mfuckers sang along with non-licensed music at a parade.

“Wait- how do we do this again… the -MOVE MELANIA- um… yes, continue..”

The more you know…

DO BETTER.

What is this flaccid statement doing?

Nothing. DO BETTER.

I ❤️ this book, so relevant:
“The dumbing down of America is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media… lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance”

I had the pleasure of discovering @justinwolfers.bsky.social after @betseystevenson.bsky.social gave a lecture at the Uni I work for and, I have to say- we Americans need more concise, clarifying & accessible economic content in media like this!

KEEP IT UP.

Econ powerhouses, those two!

In light of the chaos of the world, here is a moment of zen brought more you by my first peony blooms of the season #bloomscrolling

Yup, and it’s all a short run cash game in retail so if you don’t sell what you buy (or bought), your margins dive and you can’t cover operating costs in the present and… well, your policies do impact consumer behavior, not just prices… Target FAFO’d

Ummmm. Say you are someone who hasn’t lived in a metro area or enjoyed the actual benefits of public transportation without saying you’ve never lived in a metro area and enjoyed the benefits of public transportation.

As aN American Poli Sci/Econ double degree holder: this shit in the US is both SO gross and soooooo interesting to ingest.

Like WTF.

The cold hard truth of it (as someone who spent over two decades in retail industry leadership before leaving for higher ed) they probably already had committed to those orders and had it in their warehouse and are just hoping to sell any of it. Haven’t shopped Target since their decision as well)

… fill a cabinet with pundits and media personalities and get a bunch of “umm I’m no expert but”s.

Central casting ain’t no experts.

THIS.

One of the bits that plays on loop in my head when I listen to the actual news lately… wtf is happening… aaaargh. Having studied Political Science and Economics and now working in higher ed I am BAFFLED at the shit see, hear and read. Lots of the US didn’t take/understand Civics class and it shows.

I smell a grift…

Actually, they think the populace is that stupid. This is the worst timeline.
