Why was I today years old when it hit me that the dad in Mary Poppins is named Mr. Banks and he works at a bank 🤯
BREAKING: I'm reintroducing my bill with @markey.senate.gov to end qualified immunity for federal officers—including ICE agents.
This bill is for Renee Good, Keith Porter, & everyone in America to know that when ICE agents break the law & kill our neighbors, they'll be held accountable.
Why do "I'm up for that" and "I'm down for that" mean the same thing?? English is ridiculous
Me to Sylvester (cat): Sir, can you just be patient for one minute
Sylvester: *head-butting me*
Me: Nope, that word isn't in his vocabulary.
Kid: No words are in his vocabulary.
Me: That's not the point 😒
Uhh, I do that now! 🤦🏻♀️😂
Happy birthday to my favorite brother, @metafrantic.bsky.social, who once wrote on his birthday wishlist "Joan not to call for _1_full_week_" while I was away at college. 🤨 Sorry you probably didn't get that wish! 🤷🏻♀️
As a young adult the excitement is all "I can stay up as late as I want!" and then when you're an older adult it's "I can go to bed as early as I want!" 👵🏼
(this post brought to you by 25-year-old me who would never have expected 51-year-old me to voluntarily go to bed at TEN PM 😳😱)
NWS now has two scenarios for Tues.: Mainly rain on the coastal or a chance of up to 6 inches in the Greater French Toast Area. Frankly, we're no longer used to large amounts of snow, so we're getting vexed - and raising the alert to 3 Slices.

btw there's that NRSC poll floating around that says voters are more likely to support Platner after hearing about his tattoo
here's how the question was phrased lol
Boston, are we gonna have this kind of energy when it comes for us? I sure as hell hope so.
Very helpful field guide
Who's watching the World Series? It's blowing my mind that this starting pitcher for Toronto is a month and a half younger than my firstborn child. Wtfffff. I cannot even. 😳
![[second page of poem]
not the gods who teach us all that comes
from dirt returns to it holy—
the holiest word i know is no.
no more money for the endless
throat of money. no more
syllogisms that permission
endless suffering. no more.
and on the eighth day of a holiday
meant to represent a people
fighting occupation my teachers
who stretch a drop of oil into a week
of light take each other's arms
across eight bridges of this settler colony
singing prayers older than any country
as the chevron burns in the distance.
o stilted vernacular of life—
o pedagogs of the godly pausing—
what mycelia spreads its speaking
limbs beneath the floors of our cities.
the only holy land i know
is where life is. in the story
i was taught alongside my first
language it takes god six days
to make the terrible world
and on seventh day he rested
and on the eighth we blocked traffic.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gemibcrbznvsjnysicxvww6p/bafkreigfas4hcs7davfywim2hba76nnz3edhnlqimpgsden4hnsztrscce)

I have a lot of complex thoughts about how old our (MA) senators are, but they are IN THE MOMENT. And Markey is facing a challenge from a much younger rep who's come out anti-trans. This is Markey's response. He knows that standing for something MATTERS.
Who robbed the Louvre, right answers only

Laws are not self-executing. Is this an obvious Hatch Act violation? Of course. But without good men and women in government faithfully executing the laws, it doesn't matter.
When this is all over, assuming we still have a constitutional government, there needs to be an accounting.
Why are so many people going to the airport at 5am?? Go back to bed, everyone! Sheesh
Imagine your sister being so universally beloved that you make an innocent little post about her having the sniffles and the entire internet loses its shit to the point where you have to issue a retraction 😂🥰
Me: I've been working on this trip prep stuff for a while now, it must be almost bedtime
