What a genius thing to say to a city that speaks 800 languages. (Literally.)

I had the same thought! Most of the clothes I could see are nowhere near 1920s fashion

Not really a recipe, but vegetable + a bit of olive oil + spices = very easy, crispy roasted veg in like <10 minutes, it was wildly fast & easy!

The first time I used an air fryer (at a friend's place, for kids) I accidentally charbroiled broccoli I was roasting bc i put it on for too long. But I was able to remake it, plus make more--bc they ate it all--within time limits of 5yr old impatience(!). Made me realize why ppl love them!

Anyway, even if they were morally neutral, this is why monopolies and near monopolies are bad

You need diversity and decentralization to protect against points of failure

Just, like, as a general philosophy of EVERYTHING

The image is taken from an angle, and you can see the ocean tilting 30 degrees in the distance, with a huge crowd in front of it. In the foreground, you can see the giant American flag that is being held up by hundreds of protesters clustered around its edges.

This is the human banner from the air. It's sign made from masses of people standing together to form letters. It reads "No Kings Yes on 50." There is an American flag in the middle and a thick border around the banner. (Prop 50 is a California state proposition to gerrymander the state to create more blue districts, in order to combat the Texas law that gerrymanders their state to create more red districts.)

I joined the "human banner" at San Francisco's Ocean Beach. This flag was at the center. It was a gorgeous day with enormous waves. #nokings

it is ALWAYS worth pointing out who gets to be just a helpless little innocent precious baby boy at the age of 34, vs. who is framed by the cops as a big scary dangerous man whose candy bar might be a gun when he's barely in middle school, or described as a "13-year-old woman" by her predator

It pisses me off to no end that Long Covid affects hundreds of millions of people globally and no one I know can name a Long Covid expert or any of the leading labs looking into it. Itโ€™s simply not a topic people want to pay any attention to, and I consider that living in fear, or at least denial.

As others have said, no one is demanding mask mandates in all public places. A reasonable solution is to have mandates in places that clinically vulnerable people cannot avoid. Public transit, healthcare facilities, grocery stores and pharmacies. CLEAN THE AIR in schools and all other buildings.

I understand that there are right ways and wrong ways to have the age conversation about Dem leadership and I donโ€™t know how I feel about specific solutions like age and term limits. I do know THIS PART HERE is a problem bigger than any one individual 78-year-old and itโ€™s making us all furious

I saw the article and he was also held that entire time without ever being charged. Palestinian "prisoners" are hostages, their abuse is legitimized by lies.

Al Jazeera is doing videos of the Palestinian releases and they're heart wrenching. One man was detained for over a year and was released to find out that Israel had killed his two kids. The youngest was three. Her birthday would've been on Saturday. He'd made a small bracelet for her in prison.

When Mike Johnson or another national leader repeatedly claims they havenโ€™t seen relevant things in the news, an appropriate reporter reaction would be โ€œHoly cow, how do you not know?!? How can you do your job without knowing whatโ€™s happening? What are you doing to fix your โ€˜not knowingโ€™ problem?โ€

"well what are the Democrats supposed to do" I don't know! They're supposed to know! I'm not the one who sought and obtained a political position that would require me to know what to do when the ruling party attempts to install the President as a dictator!

it would probably be sorta hard for just anyone to do it *this well* because it requires you to actually be normal about trans people, but still it feels important to state for the record that WE ARE NOT HARD TO STAND UP FOR AND ANY OF THEM COULD DO IT.

Episode 4 is up! This one is very meaningful to me. Very proud to work for someone so unfailingly committed to protecting everyone in this city.

it does feel bizarre to me. and like it doesn't need to be an either/or? like i can imagine a speech, ad, what-have-you like,

they're threatening your health and the health of our democracy. they could be taking care of sick kids but they wanna take away kids' parents. none of us can live like this

Such languor infuses this late #1930s court presentation gown. It was designed by Madeleine Vionnet & worn by Ms Potter Palmer. I imagine her gliding towards the monarch for her presentation dropping a slow curtsey & drifting off in search of a martini @chicagomuseum.bsky.social #FashionHistory ๐Ÿ—ƒ๏ธ๐Ÿชก

there is SO MUCH going on right now, and it can be really hard to stay grounded, regulated, or even remotely calm while still being engaged.

if you're craving learning something that is both engrossing and deeply practical for daily support and introspection, the tarot might be a good fit.
