Wishing you all a HAPPY HAMILLWEEN !!! 🎃 👻 😱 💀 🧙‍♀️ 🐈‍⬛

My costume this year is from one of my favorite Disney movies: Pinocchio.

How do you like me as Geppetto?

I like this because it's ACTIONABLE out in the world...when policy decisions are being made based on a false sense of moral superiority.

(and voting decisions also)

Make the case, compadres!!!

Thanks, @tonyrush.bsky.social

Outside Portland’s ICE facility, cardboard headstones line the fence, each one honoring a person who died in ICE custody.
These aren’t statistics. They’re our neighbors.
We stand against cruelty. We demand humanity. 💙

I cannot tell you how many tech journalists at prominent media organizations do not understand this

“Just go to a food bank, a church or a charity”

For every meal the food bank provides, the SNAP program provides 9.

Even if donations are rapidly scaled up, they won’t be able to meet the needs of 42 million Americans who are about to go hungry.

It’s not sustainable.

You're welcome.

Today I learned about a term called a "glimmer." Which is the opposite of a trigger. Glimmers are those moments in your day that make you feel joy, happiness, peace, or gratitude. Once you train your brain to be on the lookout for glimmers, these tiny moments will appear more and more. UNKNOWN tinybuddha.com

DST is why most Americans wake by alarm in darkness. Permanent Standard Time would let us sleep longer and awaken naturally to sunlight, for health!

@clapifyoulikeme.favrd.social I have a present for you

I did a little house cleaning today. I'm sure you can relate.

[Please RT!] Hi all! This is a long shot, but I'm trying anyway - the nonprofit I work for is working on Christmas wishlists, and one of the young boys we works with would love an XBOX. Most likely we're going to get him an Xbox One, but if anyone has an Xbox Series X they're willing to donate LMK!

Grandiloquent Word of the Day logo - Sepia-toned graphic with a baroque Victorian typeface and a woodcut illustration of a demonic chimera that combines elements of a goat, bat, bird, and human.

Ostentiferous [os-ten-TIF-er-us]
(adj.)
- That which brings omens, monsters, or strange manifestations.

Used in a sentence:
“The book’s ostentiferous properties had rendered it too perilous for scholarship and too sacred for destruction.”

Timeline cleanse!

Here's a lake :)

What a painful thing to read, let alone be directly affected by.

I mean…D’uh!

Thank you, Irish readers! You’ve made No Friend to This House a bestseller across Ireland, I am absolutely thrilled 🥰

Cioppino style fishermen stew. A lovely way to end a day especially since the broth was from a huge pot made 6 months ago and froze. Heated it up, added seafood & veggies and voilà! A wonderful dinner. Added shrimp, sardines, clams, and chunks of fresh fish. Wine and crusty bread was involved 🥰
