Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:

Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.

If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.

Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

I want mine back!! it broke years ago & now everything is just too much

Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever and it's costing economy Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever before, and while it may be consumer smart, it comes at a cost to work productivity and the U.S. economy.

Been revamping my eating, better routines, more healthy, etc. love the flavors of thanksgiving all year round & always looking for a delicious multifunctional protein instead of processed meat. This recipe sounds perfect. Hoping turkey legs will be on sale after the holidays

You KNOW it will be good when it calls for 8-10 cloves of garlic

🫶🏻YOU ARE NOW MY FAVORITE PERSON EVER! Thank you!!

May your holiday be delicious

Hurry up and finish whatever shit you’re buying this week.

Boycotts begin Tuesday and go thru Dec 2nd.

Stay home. Buy nothing unless it’s necessary, then get it local and not corporate.

Happy Boycott

That sounds amazing, wanna share the recipe?? 🤤

Holiday reminders:

- If someone has a new relationship, they’ll tell you. You don’t need to ask.
- If someone is pregnant and they want to share that, they’ll tell you. You don’t need to ask.
- If someone’s body has changed, they’re aware. You don’t need to point it out.

Some substances and other addictions have fatal withdrawal and some do not

Alcohol does

Weed does not

Hope that helps 🫶🏻

coming back to this to say:

you also can't die from too much weed

it can really fuck you up, you can make yourself real sick and real miserable

but you can literally poison yourself to death w/ alcohol

I'm not comparing morals or wisdom, only lethality, and fellas - the results are pretty clear

Udo Kier, German Actor Who Appeared in ‘My Own Private Idaho,’ ‘Andy Warhol’s Frankenstein,’ Dies at 81 Udo Kier, a German actor who collaborated with everyone from Andy Warhol to Lars von Trier to Madonna, died on Sunday morning. He was 81.

Oh, man. One of cinema's most reliable weirdos, and I mean that in a highly complimentary fashion. RIP.

a PSA: most nonprofit newsrooms right now are probably participating in the NewsMatch program RIGHT NOW. That’s a program funded by a few foundations that “matches” your end-of-year donation.

If you set up $10 monthly, that literally unlocks $120 from NewsMatch.

So who could you support?

Same!!

A friend & I split making our favorite holiday foods & share but don’t eat together. Often take my leftovers & go on a little solo trip. I’d rather spend time on my own instead of shoehorning myself into someone else’s gathering

Amir and Osama have started their new school year after a long break due to the genocide. 💔

Members of POP are among 30 people arrested yesterday blockading the Krome ICE detention facility in Florida standing up to Trump’s deportation machine.

No human being is illegal. It’s time to stand up and shut it down.

Absolutely!!

“A drowning woman can’t save anyone” has been my personal motto over last year. I had to take a step back but I’ve been keeping tabs on issues I hope to advocate for when I’m able

There could be attorneys who would take this on pro-bono or help hook you up with other people with $ who care about same issue.

I’ve also volunteered my technical expertise for startup advocacy groups & grass roots organizations for issues I want to advocate for

There should be an optional field where you can list a reason why you block someone, for your personal future reference

Fantastic!!

Fundraiser time??!?!!!??!!!

Suggestion, instead of going into politics, find a (hyper)local political issue & champion it, the more under supported the better 🫶🏻

Even if it’s just advocating socially, bringing light to issues/campaigns (& $ and/or volunteer time) helps get people paying attention to issues you care about

‘People Are Losing Hope’ Inside ICE Detention Centers

“Detainees who express thoughts of suicide are frequently put in solitary confinement, where the isolation, darkness and dirty conditions tend to worsen their mental states…”

This isn’t “detention” — it’s state-sanctioned torture.

I've bought things I've regretted as I learned watercolor but I have never once regretted any handmade ceramic items (brush rests, water holders, etc.) In some cases, they cost the same as the mass produced tat being flogged online, so use your creativity as an excuse to support other creatives.
