Mom to 2 adorable stinkers & married to my 1st husband. Dice AND Book Goblin. Theology nerd. Probably in a super-specific fixation like how The Weimar Republic led to the rise of fascism in pre-WWII Germany. Or something like that.

Please. Don’t give them any ideas.

I’m still working through trust issues caused by discovering cow tipping isn’t real.

Just like in the parks, safety comes first.
- Stay with your group
- Follow the signs (or in this case, the facts)
- Leave no one behind
- Document everything
- Don’t engage alone

This is important in the most horrific sense. I have two sweet babies and the idea of being forcibly separated from them makes me physically ill.

Sigh. One can only hope. I have a degree in journalism and have seen such a degradation of journalistic integrity even over the past 11 years since I graduated, mostly due to oligarchs with dubious interests buying them all out.

Little, except should still have some form of regulatory body. My biggest issue with a lot of them is what they’re ~not~ publishing vs. what they are. I’ve spent too much time w/ MAGA ppl hurling baseless claims my way with no discernible evidence that I don’t want to be a part of the problem.

Thanks for your response. Do you publish with any news organizations or even on a website?

Does anybody have a source on this? I want to repost, but I always fact check first. Due to lack of reporting on this, I can’t find any sources or context.

This is why eating disorders run rampant. Just let people have their fruit, dawg. Eventually if every healthy food is β€œbad” for one reason or another, there is nothing left to eat.

No, you’re not crazy.

They are deporting brown people and importing white people.

I would have killed for dolls like these as a kid. My kids will never understand the depths of their privilege.

The differences in content between my Meta accounts and Bluesky is alarming. Straightforward news from multiple sources and thoughtful commentary here. Tradwife,
Christian nationalism, and celeb gossip content there. My Meta algorithm seems to have done a 180 right around January 20. Hmmm… πŸ€”

Yes! It reads like inspiration porn. It’s icky & condescending. Folks with disabilities are humans with strengths and struggles like everyone else. Unless a disability is a direct barrier to the accomplishment, there’s no reason to mention it as the main focus of the story.

Art class should never stop being a thing. Like if right after lunch we all got to go down to the basement for an hour, throw on a smock, and make collages out of old magazines while somebody's eccentric, slightly witchy aunt tells us how great we're doing, I feel like we'd all be in a better place.

As an American, I want Canadians (and Mexicans and Ukrainians and…) to know that so many of us are so sorry our leadership is treating our allies this way. It is humiliating that it has come to this and horrible the harm that has/is/will be done. I wouldn’t come here either.
