I am seeing the posts about American healthcare premiums going up 5x and more. And I want to gather my Canadians and folks who have universal healthcare and let you know that Americans know their system is broken. You don't need to tell them that right now.

I think it might be a knit one purl one tho, where you end up with a knit on both sides because of how the yarn comes together. Like I said, it’s been forever. All I really remember is your pattern is twice as long as you think it is.

It’s been a really long time since I did double knitting but I believe so

How dare we want more accurate representation.

Just canceled mine

Republicans running anti-trans hatefests lost and Zohran Mamdani is a hugely vocal supporter of trans and other LGBTQ rights.

That is MASSIVELY important to look at and run on.

Roll around in all this & soak it in. This is the good shit, & it should be celebrated.

And then it should be Built on.

Zorhan Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

Mamdani was voted for by more people in this one election than voted for Kristi Noem in all of her elections combined (SD state rep two terms, US rep three terms, and two terms as SD governor)

Let facts be submitted to a candid world: Donald Trump is deliberately starving US citizens.

URGENT PLEASE.

This is my last day off. Grace period up tomorrow so we have to do this BEFORE I SLEEP TONIGHT

Stuck at 820/1740 needed to pay the rent. If we can't we'll get issued a pay-or-vacate and have to pay an extra $400.

I'm exhausted. It's been a weekend of fear. PLEASE HELP OR BOOST! 😭

Yesterday was busy with irl things. Today I am completely exhausted.

Nothing in yesterday. Still at 800/1740.

Rent is DUE NOW and the grace period is up on the 5th.

Please. Please. It's been such a hard week and everything helps.

Last night, the National Guard chased children who were out enjoying Halloween in Navy Yard.

There is no valid reason for armed soldiers to terrorize children like this. End Trump’s occupation of DC. National Guard out NOW.

What a novel thought!

Correct, but butts in seats means money in pockets, and many large churches, the Catholics broadly included, have an atrocious track record of that type of behavior.

The prosperity gospel is the actual fucking worst

My question is, as always, “and if they don’t? Then what will you do?”

Fair point

The pipeline of anti-intellectualism to right wing nationalism personified:

And yet

It’s an interesting take that seems more counterintuitive to growing their numbers than inherently offensive. Just…why would you alienate where you’re seeing the best growth?

Hush old man, let the internet work for you.

Coming after trans people doesn’t just fuck with trans people

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

Don’t Stream Fascism: Cancel Spotify

Spotify is now running ICE recruitment ads. We asked them to stop. They ignored us. Let's show them what we showed Disney. No Kings, No Collaborators, No Capitulators. indivisible.org/cancel-spotify

I’m in the process of switching to Deezer

The thing is like if we want to fight back against prudery and sex negativity we also have to stop referring to stuff as 'gooner art' and accept that nsfw shit that reads as 'for the male gaze' has as much a right to exist as your favourite yaoi
