Celebrating tonight’s results by going out and getting really vaxxed

I want to read that article! I am a bit sensitive about my childlessness so my only quibble was the 'dad' part, lol. Hey, there's another article- how does the 'dad' qualifier make this person more relatable?

A Letter to America’s Discarded Public Servants: You Deserved Better

This cartoon by artist Frank Ape grounded me today #artmatters

Hand holding black and white zine with hand illustrated title “How to Report ICE and Help Keep Our Neighbors Safe” in front of sunflowers.

Hand holding open zine that reads, "S Size of group of officers, A Actions/activity, L Location, U Uniforms, T time/date, E Equipment

Zine request form in the drive folder.

remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature

This is Jack. He shocked everyone with an unhinged scream before he launched into a race… and then won. 14/10 (TT: paigephills)

Pie chart showing percentage and segments, with USA authors only at 33%, and then following in chunks of UK, Ireland, Canada, Japan, Finland, Chile, Denmark, Australia, Spain, Germany, Iraq, India, South Korea, Palestine, France, Poland, Italy, Colombia, Netherlands.

I'm making an effort this year to read more authors from outside of the USA. Turns out most of my 5 and 4.5 star reads are from those with nationalities elsewhere, and look how colorful my chart is so far! #booksky

Dead can’t Dance, The Symptom Management, Kinda Strong Bosstones, Barely Naked Ladies, Alice on Work Release, Psychedelic Mohairs, Passable Religion

Why are we not talking about the mess that Inslee left him? And how taxing the rich at this point is likely to fail in courts and then there’s bad precedent for future attempts.

Stack of colorful books with titles the berry pickers, my name is Emeila del Valle, the convenience store by the sea, Paris express, float test, lesser Islands, and variations on the body. Laminated bookmark firm recycled children’s book in foreground.

Library haul! With free bookmark from the local Girl Scout troop 🥹 #booksky

The moment that woman lifted her shirt and patted her 'flat belly' to show her diet works, I said byyyyeeeee! (Then later said she's genetically prone to being slim, so cool of her)

Carla Hayden was the first woman AND Black person to serve as Librarian of Congress and deserved better than this

Supposedly these will stay ‘eternally’ under the cloche. We’ll see! Springtime #craftsky

Stack of books from the library, including titles, such as Long Island compromise, big, chief, under the eye, big bird, blob, a love story, the dissenters, the dispersal , and blood test.

Library haul! I didn’t make it to indie bookstore day unfortunately, but have this lovely stack to keep me company. 📚 #booksky

Three different kinds of dried flowers are encased in a clear glass wall hanging, daisies, and purple flowers from the spring.

Springtime fleurs. I love spring the best! 🌼 #craftsky

Thank you for supporting this and shining a light on the needs at the VA, Senator Murray!!

Washingtonians, I’m proud of Senator Murray right now if you’d like to give Senator Cantwell’s office a call and urge her to join the obstructive protest speech, they are answering phones at 206-220-6400. Her DC office is (202) 224-3441, but I wanted to speak to a human!

I’m reading Good Dirt today!

Stack of books, including the titles, the heart in winter, disaster, nationalism, the bog wife, beautiful, ugly, help wanted, instructions for a heat wave, and good dirt.

Library haul 📚 #booksky

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

This is fantastic! I sent my letter along, but did change it and want you to know why. "Families" is not inclusive of everyone, and leaves me, in particular, out. Lots of folks are solo agers, childless/childfree, etc. How about "neighbors" or "people?" Please!!!!

Mar. 24, 1942 | U.S. Government Begins Army-Directed Evictions of Japanese Americans Learn more about our history of racial injustice.

On this day in 1942, the United States evicted Japanese Americans from their homes in Washington and forced them into internment camps.

A bag that says, poké and chill related to sushi meal, alongside a stack of books with the titles: nosy, neighbors, the midnight feast, the book of evidence, instructions for a heat wave, we had a little real estate problem, and this is happiness.

Li’l thing I call shush-i 📚 this week’s library holds are promising ❤️ (I’ll forego the raw fish pic, not a fan of seeing food on socials!)

Why Are People Wearing Masks in 2025? a mental health professional’s perspective

"most of the people still masking are among the strongest, most self-assured people I’ve known...They are also among the most alienated, judged, ignored, harassed, invisibilized, and forgotten."

Yes, we are.

You should DEFINITELY NOT go to this site & mess with this DOGE survey by the Heritage Foundation.

Definitely do NOT put fake information where they ask for your personal details.

That would fuck up all their shit, man.

These people are doing SERIOUS WORK.

How To Be a Fighter When You Feel Like a Punching Bag Many of us are suffering from a kind of social atrophy.

My latest: "The more often we have experienced true helplessness, the more likely we are to feel powerless in situations where action is possible. And the more we freeze or flail in response to threats, the more deeply ingrained those responses become."

Five Failures in the Oval Office (video) America hurt itself badly today.

Here I react to the shameful behavior of American leaders and media toward the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share.
