I am once again asking folks using the women’s toilets to stop squatting over the seat. You are inherently the reason why people piss all over the seats. And if you’re going to piss all over the seat, clean it up. It’s not hard.

*unless you have a disability where squatting is necessary

if you find yourself reluctant to support the guy at Columbia because you find some of the politics he espoused distasteful or even abhorrent, you should know that this is exactly the reaction that they hoped for in choosing him as a target for unlawful detention based on political speech.

We’re coming to Europe for a couple weeks next month. We’re making a folder of important documents for my partner for the return flight. Even though they’re a green card holder, we just want to be safe and cautious.

I’m so overjoyed that No Other Land won. Film can move people in ways that you just can’t achieve with words. Thousands will feel called to watch, and be transformed.

The fact that it won without a distributor will shed light on how Palestinian stories are consciously sidelined, all the time.

Rachel Maddow has some serious chutzpah. I’m not a fan or a follower, but credit where credit is due.

Itβ€˜s up to each Kreis, but they couldn’t do much about it because the ballots were only printed and sent out last week.

I loved this show so much. Highly recommend the West End version on Spotify for some gorgeous Irish and Trini voices.

This line of defense won’t last long. We had so many calls from concerned folks at the food pantry today. People are rightly terrified of what’s to come.

Iβ€˜m not taking any chances. I ordered my emergency dose of abortion pills. AidAccess.org and @plancpills.bsky.social make it easy. If cost is a barrier I know a lot of people who are happy to send mutual aid.

This is how much it will cost to express ours from Detroit to Germany, if they even send out the ballot in time…

It was a pleasant surprise finding out my neighborhood puts on a Burns Night supper. The food and drinks were delicious and the pipers and dancers were fantastic. SlÑinte! 🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
