Caffeinated & Literate

Every time I think there's an episode of Avatar that won't make me weepy....nope.

(I didn't say they were *good* or that it was *ideal*)

The closest thing this planet will ever experience to a functional Libertarian Sea Colony happened on the Island of Nassau in the 1700s.

These fuckers need to be removed of the burden of their heads and their assets distributed to build a robust social safety net

I had unfollowed*

This was fucking delightful, thank you!!

Fed judges are getting PISSED. The levels of overt anger we are seeing in opinions is not, I think, at all usual.

Did you eat? Take your meds? Drink water?

I actually found this piece very helpful in identifying the places I thought I had u followed Gaiman when all this came out but apparently hadn't.

For anyone raised under James Dobson's abuse manuals, the only surprising thing about Dobson's teaching showing up in the Epstien files is how long it took for it to happen.

I'm really starting to believe that this asshole is a plant

Is it depression, or is it just the chronic illness flare?

Or is it both?!

The world may never know.

Notice how Black people generally do not fall for the okie doke. Some people hear a single (fake) apology and get amnesia. There's a lesson here about our current disaster and what future repair looks like.

Leagal Observers are **also protected**.

Looking at police/LEO - with your eyes or a camera - is not illegal.

A Lawful Observer is someone who observes, but they will not carry a protest sign, or chant. They may record, take notes, or document LE actions, and leagally, this is not interfaring with LE actions.

If you want people to have good faith in you, have you to TRY. Google is RIGHT THERE.

How do you pull a five year old coming home from school out of his car, use him as bait, and somehow not know you're an evil piece of crap?

This isn't a special trickster demon who's temping people into evil, this isn't magic fruit induced curse, this is men being evil and not held accountable.

No.

I love that quiltin angd sewing are gaining popularity again.

But everyone and their bestie are trying to tell something and make money off this, and that includes bigger companies that have fumbled a lot in recent years.

The community should demand better and not buy into this shit.

Do not fuck with Memaw.

Happiness is having @xianjaneway.bsky.social as a friend, so when you call to go off about the $25k *home* (non-industrial) sewing/embroidery machine with lots of computerized parts, from a company who's quality has slipped in recent years, SHE GETS IT.

(No one needs a $25k HOME sewing machine.)

I always have more than one project going at once so I can play with different fabrics and farm dopamine as needed.

The Quilters is on Netflix and if you haven't watched it, it is so so good.

Also a well done reminder that those in prison are still human.

I do too!

She said mama stop being a

Ohhh yay I am starting my first two blocks from this tonight!!!!

Heckyeah. Followed.

My take away from Heated Rivalry so far is that Kip's dad is parenting goals.

Divorce Judge: Mister Mouse, you're divorcing your wife Minnie because she is...extremely silly?

Micky Mouse: NO, BECAUSE SHE'S FUCKING GOOFY!

I'm trying!

It's so frustrating. They just lie and lie, and they know they're lying, and you know they're lying, and they know that you know they're lying, and they just keep doing it because they can.

Thank you.
