The headstone of Boss Tweed, with voting stickers on it

I learned today on a tour about Spiritualism and stage magic (two of my niche interests!) at Greenwood that people leave their “I voted” stickers at Boss Tweed’s grave

As if anyone on #knitsky #ravelry or #LSG needed a reason to continue never shopping at this vile place, here you go.

Käthe Kollwitz (1867–1945), German artist who worked with painting, printmaking and sculpture, known for her self portraits and depictions of the effects of poverty, hunger and war on the working classes #WomensArt

my guess is Musselburgh.

The child rapist belongs in jail.

Personally, I think Reese's is a bit overvalued.

Healthy food should be heavily subsidized and crap food should be taxed.

I have a problem with the ‘neurodivergent’ thing, in that it supposes a ‘normal’ from which some people diverge. And I don’t believe there is: I think we are all different and we all have strengths and challenges. I’m suspicious of all binary narratives.

In that case, I think a mute/block is in order.
Thanks for letting me know!

From Amazon?
Girl, read the room.

I'm all-in for #MrCardamom

If SOME of the now independent journalists who get upset when people complain about a paywall, or no paywall but with pop-up ads, would realize that us mere mortals can't afford to subscribe to everything, that would be great.

Yes.
Please stop doing this!
I don't want even still shots of faux news and the rest of those ultra-right losers.

I HATE IT.

We have to find a way to deal with politicians who betray voters once they get into office.

One of the most maddening parts of AI infiltration is how much time we collectively spend trying to duck & dodge these features we didn't ask for & don't want. Having to figure out in every program how to turn it off or minimize it. Hiding pop-up boxes. It makes everything worse & wastes your time😠

Chili.
I knitted him a tiny hat.
He HATED it.

No, we should manage our own experience.
Please, don't.

The reason 42 million Americans are on SNAP is because employers aren’t paying living wages.

@bsky.app
Come. On.
Stop trying to fix what isn't broken.
***I*** want to manage my own experience.
Period.
