To those who use Canva: how often is their server offline? I absolutely love this tool but it is extremely anxiety driving when I teach a class and can’t access the slides due to it saying “I’m offline” (I’m not, btw)

It's time to end this international embarrassment & create an economy that works for all.

Our Founding Fathers were no dummies.

As James Madison wrote in Federalist No. 47: “The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands...may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.”

This is what Trump wants. We will stop him.

Ho hoooo I don’t know much about their fandom, but you aren’t wrong about the parentheticals!

NO. At a time of massive income and wealth inequality we should not be giving tax breaks to billionaires. We should demand that they start paying their fair share.

my post: "weekend" comes from an 1860s misspelling of "weakened" as in "i'm weakened and going to take a nap." not many people know this merriam webster replies with an ellipses

chat is it good for a dictionary to be mad at you

Chipotle. I knew after two days food service was not for me.

Oh hey! That’s awesome. I’ve been curious to join an ensemble. I really should

I have never been more happy to see thick clouds. Border 2 Fire is at 6600+ acres with 10% containment, but the westward winds seem to be helping push the spread to us. Hopefully the heavens can splash a saving touch on us.

I would never have tried it if it weren’t for your rec. loved it!!

Red skies. Ash floors. Masks up.
