Some years ago my good friend (Deb G) sent me a soup package (Spoonful of Comfort) after I had surgery. I loved the idea and started doing that too.
Deb sadly passed almost 2 years ago. Last night, I sent some soup to a post-op friend.
Each time I think of Deb and try to honor her kindness to me ❤️

Please don't automatically shorten a person's name unless they say it's ok.

My name is 4 syllables long and I like each of them. When I do allow a shortened version, it's never the one you think it is anyway. 🙄

“I reject the lie that deporting my neighbor is how I win better pay and working conditions. We’re fighting for a country where families stay together without living in terror, so we’re ALL better off!”

Smartphone screenshot showing two New York Times “Breaking News” push notifications. The first, at 5:38 AM, says Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office over links to Jeffrey Epstein, citing the BBC. The second, at 2:01 AM, says Yoon Suk Yeol, South Korea’s ousted leader, was found guilty of leading an insurrection over his 2024 martial law decree. Each notification includes a “Share” option and a bell icon.

Watching other countries actually make their leaders and powerful men face consequences with jealousy.

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

“Earth is a pleasure cruise for 1000 people and we're all just the staff.”

Wow.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Incredibly powerful front page from the Sunday Post

‘These are the faces of the close to 200 women killed by men in Scotland over the last 16 years. Many were murdered in the one place they should feel completely safe - their own home. Today, we ask for your help in ending misogynistic violence’

Its quite something to realise you were in an abusive relationship after the fact

Please could you all really get into this and provide content for the resident young fan who only has me to talk to about it?

A graphic for said blog post - a red toned arty photo of a woman... Licking a gun? Idk. Text saying 'welcome to my weird girl lit rant...', article title 'why are we still infantilising women in fiction' and the address of my free Patreon: Patreon.com/LorraineWilson

Today's blog post got a wee bit ranty...

Enjoy. Maybe.

"The day of accountability will come": Rep. Delia Ramirez on abolishing and prosecuting DHS The Handbasket spoke with the congresswoman who called out ICE long before it was popular.

NEW — I spoke with Rep. Delia Ramirez (@ramirez.house.gov) about her calling DHS leaders "inheritors of the Klan hood and the slave patrol," the prospect of one day seeing them behind bars, and what it's like to see the public [finally] embrace her long-held dream to abolish ICE.

A shared pulse: Minnesota musicians unite West African and Irish traditions A Minnesota band brings together West African drumming and Celtic melody on its debut album “Badenya,” finding a shared rhythmic language that bridges musical traditions from Guinea to Ireland.

My kid and I have briefly merged bedtimes. They are too young to stay up late on a school night and I’m too old to.

I'm just going to say a thing.

What a person looks like is not reflective of their soul. Insulting the appearance of bad people who do bad things as an outcome or indication of their rotten hearts perpetuates the notion that conventional beauty = virtue, a myth that's led to untold human damage.

I'd like to thank my cat for vomiting up breakfast and fur while sitting on a bar stool and creating a waterfall at 5:45am.

I didn't know I could move that quickly that early. Go me, yay. 🙄

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.

I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.”

"Tortured construction"

Thanks @scifantasy.bsky.social I needed a new way of describing my former marriage 👍

My doomer-worry about AI is not that the LLMs become omnipotent and take over the world but that the wealthy and powerful use it as a means to consolidate power and marginalize or lay off skilled workers and also everything about our technological and political and social life gets worse

I watched this twice before I went to sleep last night. What you're feeling is an appropriate response from a body & brain that are struggling to integrate horrific information, regulate your nervous system, & keep you safe.

Two minutes. Give yourself two minutes of compassionate support ❤️

You deserve access to abortion care if you are pregnant and do not want to be. Full stop.

Your reasons are your reasons and they are good enough.

Abortion is healthcare and everyone deserves healthcare access.

You can feel the joy. ❤️

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

Truly lovely day. Workout and a walk followed by a stroll through the orchid exhibit at the Botanical Garden and then a superb lunch (best lamb burger) with a friend!

Really needed this after all the cold and gray.

“I’m mad I can’t understand Bad Bunny’s lyrics because they’re not in English”

my brother millions of metalheads around the world have been happily listening to incomprehensible Finnish shrieks and Japanese death grunts since we were teens, you’re just boring and racist

No one has ever tried to sell me drugs as hard as people try to sell me on AI.
