You okay?
For making up a good Samaritan story or for getting into a car accident? Probably the lie.
Just like with ‘not all men’ is technically true but enough of us support or don’t fight the system of white supremacist capitalist patriarchy and that is a problem.
Yup, we leave no one’s human rights behind. That is the only way we all can unify. Disabled rights. Trans rights. All of them! It is divisive to say we ‘pause’ certain people’s rights.
Diring the pandemic lock down you had a megaphone and were on the street preaching the goodness of pickles.
A Labor Day reminder: today there isn't a single city, metro area, or state in the U.S. where a full-time minimum-wage worker can afford a modest 2-bedroom apartment. Millions of people with jobs—even multiple jobs—aren't safe from homelessness in this country.
Organize and survive.
When you have less in your life that is distracting you from enjoying yourself it will be easier.
I love libraries and librarians so much. Here's why: When you request a copy of a book at a library, EVERYONE in that community gets access. For FREE. Which is why people who request #TheDoubleTax at their local libraries are EXTRA EXTRA EXTRA special. #librarysky #booksky
This is my don’t post something stupid moment. Because I told him he posts wild things regularly 😂
I’ve followed you for years
With all respect, there are.
Happy Labor Day 🙂
He made it up 😂 That story was sketchy as hell
Happy Labor Day #WorkersDeserve #SolidaritySeason #WorkersOverBillionaires
This is Mr. Renée and me. We have different drama
This. I’ve seen people saying that people on the Left should be paid just like on the Right. But that take is missing the fact that the messaging is not winning anyone. Again Dems are emulating Rs corruption in a way that accomplishes nothing.
Any of the park rangers I’ve met do not. I’ve been to many state and national parks and I talk to the rangers. They are very happy to talk to anyone about their passion and they are usually pretty funny.
As an autistic I understand the urge to take blame especially when a social situation goes wrong but you don’t know why. But all Elijah did wrong was walking while Black. He should still be with us. 😢
I was thinking abt Elijah McClain yesterday without knowing it was the anniversary of his murder. Of all the stories of police brutality and murder gis story is one that sticks with me. He was autistic. Just walking home. He asked what he did and said he was sorry. 💔
For me it’s games I replay a lot and the replay is fun but isn’t as great as the first time. Kingdom Rush series is a very good mobile tower defense game and I often wish I could play it again for the 1st time.
What can your local public library do? The answers may surprise even the most frequent library user!
How do you feel about pirogies? Specifically pan fried pirogies
We have to start Winter on her prescription food soon and I’m not looking forward to it as much as I want her to be better.
Try not to live a life where every morning people wake up hoping you died last night
Just a reminder that neoliberalism is unable to stop fascism and electoralism is not just unable to stop fascism it may in fact allow it to solidify further if all a population does is wait to vote as Americans are doing. The longer fascist solidifies the more damage you have to do to excise it.
Even if I wanted to I would be hard pressed to think of anything.
Imagine if every time a white man did something terrible, it sparked a national debate over whether we should allow white men...
My rule is something they could change about themselves in 5 minutes is fair game. Something they couldn’t change in 5 minutes not their choice.
Can we see it when it’s done?
I was talking about organizing to a colleague and they were claiming that people were too overwhelmed. I said I don’t determine that and people can choose their capacity and speak for themselves. We need more I statements. Don’t speak for what others might be ready to do. Just say you’re not ready.
Obama promised to close Guantanamo. He should have had it torn down.
If you are okay with this, if you think this is justified, if you think people living on the street have brought this upon themselves, if you think this is good leadership, you may be able to fool yourself that you care about others but you don’t fool me
So glad things are going well for you.
The maddening thing is that we know EXACTLY how to prevent this. Yes, kids should get vaccinated, test, stay home when sick, mask as much as possible. But even without any of that: Better ventilation and filtration in schools can MASSIVELY reduce viral spread, for all sorts of respiratory diseases.
My response to a Gavin fundraising text
"Do not pretend you do not understand" goes a long way towards the heart of a LOT of problems rn
One of the firefighters arrested is an Oregonian. My office has been in touch with his lawyer who says he can't locate his client. My office is working to get more information on his whereabouts ASAP.
Psychological wages
No surgery!!!
Winter (young cat) had $700 ultrasound and it turns out she’s got a bladder stone. That was the simplest thing it could have been. She now has to eat a special food when she’s the pickiest cat I’ve ever had. So she may be resistant to eating the food but she’ll be better soon.
It's been 70 years since Emmett Till was lynched by white supremacists. He was 14. After years of pushing for it, the Chicago church where Emmett's mother bravely held his open-casket wake is a national monument. May Emmett and Mamie Till-Mobley's stories never be forgotten.
"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.
One guy helped a bunch of people stranded on a roof by hiding the black people inside so the helicopter only saw the white people. Helicopters had been passing them by for hours. But when he did that, a helicopter came 15 minutes later.
Happy birthday to Ahmed! Share donations for the birthday boy. 🎂
I am just … livid that this is what children are doing. From Minnesota to Gaza. Shielding each other. Facing snipers. It is obscene.
“Kennedy would be less hazardous if he decided to do cardiac surgery. Then he would kill people only one at a time rather than his current ability to kill by the thousands. Why is it that killing a single person is seen as murder but killing masses is excused if you are a politician?” Dr Bill Foege
Same 😂
That’s terrifying
To be fair a lot of those people ran on progressive promises. Sinema and Fetterman did I know.
You are worth so much more than you realize. Being abuse hurts our self esteem. Once you get away from your abuser and get a therapist who’s worth their salt you’ll see that speaking from experience. 💜
Not all women bitch and certainly not you, Sedaris.
What did she do?
Dolly Parton style definitely
Criticizing a woman for what she does is not misogyny. Criticizing her for being a woman is but it’s very feminist to criticize some women.
I keep hearing about all these cishet men that don’t wash their ass. I’m not holding their hands.
Really rather surreal watching the optimism of Americans who think they can wait until their 2026 midterms to try and save themselves when their neighbours are already being kidnapped off the streets in broad daylight and their cities are being captured by militarized forces.
What do they think they’ve been doing? Caring about immigrants 😂😂😂😂😂😂
It’s hard to overstate how big a deal this is - for the economy (ours and globally), for the rule of law, and for the proper and efficient function of government. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/08...
I’ve said enough sacrilegious things about our system that I no longer feel that pull. There are more just systems out there and theorized. We would all be better off with any of them that have a defense against fascism
That’s why we need to abandon liberal democracy.
😂😂 I love that you typed that you went too far and still posted it
I’m good. Just finished my summer travel to AZ to see family and then to VA to see a friend by myself.
The same people who say it’s unfair are the ones throwing dildos at women in women’s sporting events AND leaving dildos behind when taking down ICE protest banners. Assumably because a lot of these men keep big fat knotted horse cock dildos around in their trucks often for reasons I cannot fathom.
Go to an asian market and get some. The good ones will have two different seasoning packets.
Have you tried miso ramen? It’s my current obsession
Craved
I got so sick of soft food. I carved tortilla chips so hard.
Laws to protect children are RARELY about children and are almost always about censorship
Y'all The ICE building in Portland is painting a line in front of their building But they don't even know how to spell government
I’m so sorry sweetie 💜
I might die tomorrow… but the real tragedy is my children starving while the world looks away Days without food, tiny bodies weakening, eyes full of fear Every second you delay could be their last How can the world watch us suffer and do nothing? Your donation could be their hope💔 gofund.me/edd687b8
NEW: Leaders of a small Arizona city ramped up affordable housing & services like soup kitchens for homeless people. In response, a former mayor got angry & tried to recall them. But they survived the recalls this month. Bolts reports on what's happening—& the warring responses to homelessness:
There is not one marginalized, racialized, or oppressed group whose oppression or destruction is an acceptable cost for saving "democracy." Not one. If saving democracy requires leaving marginalized people behind, that's not a democracy worth saving. Either we all get saved or none of us do.
Same girl, same
The Venn diagram of piss babies who threw fits about masks during the 'rona and the piss babies donning masks to harass fellow humans is a circle.
This is how my kids think people pay you to play video games and I can not convince them otherwise
RT if you also wish ill upon JK Rowling.
Yes! I just worry they won’t have the money to do larger scale trials and roll it out because of all the cancer research money Mr. Brianworms is canceling.
If I still lived in AZ I would do this 😂
Teen Vogue doing better science comms than most public health orgs
BREAKING: The ICE officers at 26 Federal Plaza hate it when I show up for court observation. Here’s my good-faith offer: if they’ll stop abducting people, I’ll never come again. www.amny.com/immigration/...
Especially when there are so many Black and Brown politicians standing up to him too without throwing other marginalized people under the bus. Nicole Collier, Michelle Wu, Al Green, Jasmine Crockett, Ayanna Pressley, Alex Padilla and many more. They just want a mediocre white male savior.
Just noting that I know one old white hippie couple who have been organizing longer than I’ve been alive. M (the husband) came from a rich plantation family & he was disowned for joining the civil right movement. I thought of them when I heard that quote.
Everything we peaceniks worried about on September 12, 2001 is coming to pass The bipartisan-sanctioned erosion of civil liberties that began in the name of “fighting terrorism” — we always said it was a slippery slope, that ICE and DHS were a danger — and we are now descending further into hell

Me too 😂
If it makes you feel less alone I’m a K-12 librarian who is completely against AI in general but especially in education.
Imagine being such an asshole that an entire literary prize gets canceled because you suck so much. www.bbc.com/news/article...
I've been frustrated for weeks because the women spaces don't want to discuss what women of color face, but what women of color face is a canary in the coalmine for what's coming for white women, poor and middle class people, and EVERYONE ELSE.
It’s free in most places that sell bras. I was mismeasured several times in department stores. If I were you I would go to a bra shop if you have one around you. I had better luck there. Also r/abrathatfits is a great resource and very trans friendly.
