Same! As a 216 expat, I love my MLB app just to listen to Tom Hamilton.

Picture of a man, a woman, and s pug in a forest. All are grinning; the pug’s tongue is prominent.

Welcome Gilligan, our new rescue pug. He’s from Texas, but he enjoyed a hike in the New England woods.

To celebrate, get a pizza, which is circle made up of triangles and is <wait for it> a pie.

This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

THESE are the people making decisions on women's health. Notice anything?
LEAVING women out of a meeting on WOMENS HEALTH is CRIMINAL.

the supreme court says you can never use race to help people but you can always use race to hurt people

Not to mention harmful.

I loved“The Signature of All Things” to the same degree that I loathed “Eat, Pray, Love.” I can hold both those truths.

It’s illegal for a President to rule by Executive Order

This is not opinion it’s fact

It’s a COUP

Caring for stationery in hot weather, a brief guide:

- pop pencils in a jar of cool water to prevent wilting

- lie erasers somewhere dark, under a damp cloth

- vintage stamps will curl, pop into an envelope & under a book

- paperclips warping? Refrigerate.

- bury wax crayons, note location

The federal government is telling you they cannot afford to house you, feed you, educate you or heal you — but that they do have enough resources and scale to criminalize, assault, deport and incarcerate your neighbors simply going to work or taking their kids to graduation.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

Put this on a billboard.

Let's talk about these two department store owners: brother and sister Louis Bamberger and Caroline Bamberger Fuld. From Newark, New Jersey.

They are random people, basically. But in the late 1920s, with fascism taking over Europe, they made a choice that profoundly changed the world: 🧵

we have a secretary of
-transportation making it more dangerous to travel
-education making kids stupider
-defense making us more vulnerable to attacks
-homeland security making us feel less secure than ever
-health and human services trying to spread illness

everything’s fine.
