I was going to make a post about my job hunting experiences but realized that most people are going through it or know someone who is and already know.

I am aware that many are looking for work and the job market is insane. I am doing a bit of whining and hoping on my TL. After being somewhat forced out of my job in May, a job I liked, I have scored an interview for a job I am qualified for but not on paper. There are many candidates. 🤞🏾🤷🏽‍♀️

I don't think enough people are snubbing their rightwing family enough!

I am going tonigh, hopefully.

So sorry, and I feel this. I’ve gone from low poster to no poster even though I’m on here every day. I just don’t have the words anymore, and even if I did, I don’t have the energy to type them. This sentiment has spread beyond here, but I try to shake it daily.

Trying to get out of a funk takes a lot of work. It is too hot for this.

Jessica Ramos basically admitted to Brian Lehrer that she thinks Trump will punish and single out NYC if Mamdani wins and that's her justification for backing Cuomo

First off, STOP MAKING DECISIONS BASED ON FEAR.

Second, stop giving that man more power by rewarding his racism with cowardice. FFS

I WILL NEVER GIVE UP MY EM DASHES

I have a wedding to attend online (what!). I am wondering how presentable I have to be. I will try really hard not to turn my camera on.

I must've subscribed to an outstanding block list. I have been scrolling through Bluesky on and off since 6 AM EDT and seeing posts that say 'don't engage, just block' without knowing who is being blocked. Just now, someone wrote his name. I went to block, and I see I already have him blocked. NICE!

I am also a former Lane student who would sometimes take the Western bus there with friends after school. Sometimes we walked there.

BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity.

This is a major win for public health.

Protesters carry a banner that says “No Kings!”

Dear News Networks:

The term for a “targeted politically motivated shooting” of a currently serving legislator is “Assassination.”

Especially if you're on the fence about it, protest today. Fascism is isolating and lonely. Its very goal is to make you feel like you're the only person unwilling to accept a cult of personality. On days like today you fully realize there are more of us than there are them. You will feel better.

On June 6, 2025, the federal government initiated immigration raids across the City of Los Angeles. Protests swiftly followed, and some individuals involved in those protests were unruly and even violent. State and local law enforcement responded. The following day, President Trump ordered that members of the California National Guard be federalized, and thereupon assumed control of those forces. At this early stage of the proceedings, the Court must determine whether the President followed the congressionally mandated procedure for his actions. He did not. His actions were illegal-both exceeding the scope of his statutory authority and violating the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. He must therefore return control of the California National Guard to the Governor of the State of California forthwith.

JUST IN: Judge Charles Breyer finds that President Trump exceeded the scope of his authority and violated the 10th Amendment by federalizing the California National Guard and orders him to return control to Governor Newsom. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns

los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

Dem senator: Please, protestors, there are better ways to oppose the president

Voters: Like not voting for his nominees?

Dem senator: haha no no no. No. What I mean is we are writing a rap

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year.

The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year.

Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

High-Density Housing Is for Families, Too — and We Need More of It Not everyone who wants to live in a dense walkable neighborhood is able to do so. A morass of regulations stands in the way.

"With so many U.S. cities and suburbs skewing development toward low-density homes, families that want housing in dense, walkable development must pay a premium for what little is allowed to be built."

When I am in the mood, I am going to try it on my sweet potato though. I might even use chili crisp when I do. I like spicy peanut butter noodles so!

I am weird with peanut butter. I have to be in the mood. Some days I wake up craving it, and other times, you couldn't pay me to eat it.

I don’t like seeet potato fries or regular baked potatoes. But I love a baked sweet potato with (combinations vary) cheese, salsa, hot sauce, chili crisp, crumbled bacon, sour cream, cilantro, and chives. Now, I don’t place all of this on it every time but they are my favorite toppings for it

Since I am more of a savory person than a sweet one, I started making savory oatmeal about 10 years ago. I don't know why I stopped. I also like savory baked sweet potatoes.

I am so sick of people telling me to go outside to get some vitamin d. I take vitamin d pills.

This post is 50% in jest but 100% leave me the fuck alone.

For a long time, I assumed it was due to my fear of people and preference for being with my pets or alone, reading or listening to music. I also spent a lot of time in my head. (Not much has changed. LOL.)

I, too, started reading at three.
