The leaves are already starting to turn, wtf.
Best thing I ever did was block that shit from my feed.
This is the most in offense lasagna you’ll ever eat babe!
One of my low stakes conspiracy theories is that every song by the Cars is actually about vampires.
It’s uncanny how all the cinder block buildings built in the early 90s smell exactly the same. School, libraries, small office buildings—no matter how much they’ve been remodeled it’s the same smell. I walk in & suddenly I’m in first grade again.
I don’t know how successful they will be—they don’t have the pockets as the conservative Catholics—but they’re politically conscious in a way they weren’t before.
Since they’re all cradle Catholics they think adult converts are Weird™️ & cringe & realize they need to actively curve their influence. They describe themselves now as Pope Leo Catholics. They see the next period as a time to reclaim the American church from the conservatives.
Another front that could be exploited is the divide WITHIN the Catholic Church over immigration. My husband’s family, including millenials & zoomers, are very Catholic. But they’re militantly pro immigrant.
At least my personal life doesn’t suck.
“Defunding university grants is weirdly disproportionately hurting red states bc grant funding was subsidizing most of the actually good jobs there at land grand schools so, uh, shit—“
Goddamnit I should be reading more. :(
We all really been in these trenches yelling for 2 decades lmao.
Yes that last bit was trolling.
I know people do all kinds of different things, I’m not opposed to it. But adobo shouldn’t be sweet. It’s not spaghetti ffs.
My family’s adobo is a 3:1 ratio of soy sauce to vinegar, a fuckton of garlic, a fist full of bay leaves, & pepper (the amount should correlate to how fatty the meat is). Dilute with water if it’s a really big piece of meat, make sure it’s marinating at least over night.
On the one hand I guess I’m happy that Filipino food is finally being appreciated enough to have a conglomerate acknowledge its existence on the other sugar should NOT be the first ingredient of Adobo what are we even doing here people.
Hold up were we also mutual on Daily Kos during college???
Not 100% sure what this means but happy for you.
Oh yea that probably is it.
I’ve gotten home & put the good champagne in the fridge btw, I know everyone was concerned.
Classic blueskyismo
Wait they have versions of that car where the windows aren’t hella tinted?
My neighborhood is pretty free range too which I think is more normal for our area. I’m a porch lady, I keep an eye on the kids without being intrusive. Neighbor kids know they can come to my house if there’s an emergency while their parents are gone.
Tactical umami warhead.
l'bleuskyism
their kids more responsibility & autonomy but basically default to what the most restrictive parents in their peer group do because those parents are so vocal/judgmental. You’re bucking the trend letting your kids safely walk themselves to school & it’s good for them.
Yeah that all sounds very reasonable to me. I gotta say one of the factors that kept me from having kids is the American style of intensive parenting that’s hyper restrictive & paranoid. A lot of sociological studies have shown that most American parents would actually like to give
I don’t think he has hair anymore
If they were designated walkers I’m assuming yall live only a few blocks from the school on a safe area? People need to get a fucking grip.
I was radicalized to the left by how fucking unhinged & bigoted the right is. They literally want me & my whole family dead so, ya know, it’s survival to oppose them at this point.
*squints* does he even have hair anymore???
Spectacular.
We got some BANGERS in here: food desert! himbo! Kayfabe! Queer theory! Road rage! Unibrow! & so much more!
Me, a very hungry creature who hasn’t seen the light of day since I was a larva: hahahhahaha this rules
I’d throw money at Blue Sky dot app the same way I throw money at Wikipedia if it means a lot of terrible people fuck off forever so I can have my little internet rec room.
Hahahahah it’s so cool when I learn of yet another horrifying prospect that could fuck everything up over night. (Nothing against you, I do actually appreciate this information but it’s wild how long this list is already)
Apparently there are Somali street fries, I don’t know exactly what it involves but I want it.
I can only name 1 time people were hostile to me & it was only because I was an American, it had nothing to do with me personally. 🤷🏻♀️ be chill & people will be chill back it’s not actually difficult.
This is a skills issue folks. If you want normal people content, follow normal people. I follow all kinds of people & I get a good selection of nature photography, art, budget advice, sports commentary, funny kid stories, & just general shitposting nonsense.
Do people…not? Remember? 2010??
Also the people who say nobody here is talking about sports or no political stuff are telling on themselves. There’s a robust Black Bluesky that’s very much just jokey-jokes & a LOT of sports fans. Not at the density of peak Twitter but it took a full decade+ for Twitter to get there.
I’d pay like $3-5 a month to hang out online at a place where I don’t have to deal with people this boring & stupid tbh.
I don’t even have kids but I’m happy to fork over hella $$$ to make sure every single kid in my town gets a good education & has a nice, safe parks to hang out in.
It’s ok for children to learn at their own pace but it is NOT ok for their parents to neglect their kid’s education. If your child can’t read at grade level you better be doing everything possible to get them on track.
I have a learning disability, I wasn’t reading chapter books at 8. But because my parents are responsible, educated people I got the help I needed.
Homes are for living in, that is the NORMAL way to think about them.
I think all the fringe charismatic Christian’s that hang around him have him both believing in it.
Nah I get it, my dog ran off my porch to chase my neighbor’s car into his damn garage a few weeks ago & could have easily been killed because the garage is tiny & he didn’t see her at all. Sometimes these perfect little angels are in fact assholes who aren’t sorry.
I spend 90% of my life striving to do the most tasteful, ethical thing I can manage. Let me have my tacky mid brow bullshit.
Extreme oh no I’m turning into my mom moment: not only did a book a cruise Thanksgiving weekend but I made dinner reservations at Fogo De Chao on Thanksgiving itself.
Have you considered that they did nothing wrong & are perfect angels???
I can think of a lot of stupid shit to spend 65k on that is still ways less destructive than this.
The flowers are a kindness.
Party in the USA, after that I’m going to be too drunk to care.
Incredible (derogatory)
It took like a third of your hair! That’s so rude!
If he dies before I can put the good champagne in the fridge I’m going to be so mad.
I can
And after a while: crocodiles
The thing about Zorhan is that he’s actually pretty positive about the idea of American for a person who very correctly diagnosis its problems. He seems to actually LIKE everyone. Vance hates everyone—everyone!!—& it shows.
It’s so weird bc carry out pho is great. Are you trying different spots each time or just one?
I am extremely skilled at budgeting & meal prep. If you need help, please dm me. We can talk through your situation, your dietary restrictions/needs, & logistics.
Start building up reserves & having conversations with neighbors, family, & friends about the logistics of buying bulk & dividing up product among each other.
Yeah, imagine if you’re a dc resident who got laid off from the parks service watching this shit. I’d be so fucking mad.
Neutrogena wants 20 whole American dollars for a tube of sunscreen.
Sit the fuck down & shut the fuck up. Show me your skills before you talk about our skills issues you absolute pieces of shit.
If you’ve never fundraised, hit the doors/phones, dealt with blow after blow of legal maneuvers to try to get your candidate of the ballot, tried to convert key constituencies who have are either being bought off or threatened in some fashion in a city with a big dem political machine:
I say this as someone who has worked on 2 uphill independent electoral campaigns, 1 that won & 1 that lost. You fight the system THE SYSTEM FIGHTS BACK.
Sorry I can’t take anybody who doesn’t acknowledge the structural power dynamics within the 2 party system. Hell these people don’t even want to acknowledge rampant voter suppression. There are, in fact, an lot of ways our current political system is undemocratic & favors rich, elderly incumbents.
I swear to god food tasted better that day.
*credible But you know what? Crackle rumors. Sniff out the crackle rumors gang.
Hey can somebody in DC go check on the scene at Butterworth’s? I feel like DC’s premier Nazi bar is a good place to sniff out crackle rumors about you-know-what.
I’m sorry I’m dying at the idea that Big Balls has an intern.
Actually I insist that everybody spend a decade planning my rager funeral.
Oh he cute.
I mean an assassin was hanging out in the bushes at his golf club once not too long ago so, like, I get it.
Yea, that’s fair. I’m not trying to get my hopes up, I’m just replying with what everybody else has been saying. But Vance HAS been doing a lot of press after months of being sidelined.
The press haven’t seen him in 2 days & he ain’t playing golf this weekend.
Dude I’ve never fired a gun but I know a fair amount of guns just by…listening to other people when they’ve talked about them. 🤷🏻♀️
When the overnight low slips to 49
Yea…this is not a feeling I enjoy either.
Wait there ISNT an S on that??????
Which are like $8 a bag now
Jokes on me I guess, I ended up moving to Maine.
His name was Tom Dollar & my husband now uses that name for dinner reservations because he thinks it’s extremely funny.
I had 3 dates with a guy from Princeton. After some extremely mid sex he sat in bed the basement apartment his parents were paying for on Capital Hill in an LL Bean bathrobe reading the Princeton Alum magazine & was offended when I said “this is the whitest thing I’ve ever seen.”
I once tried to fuck a guy who went to Yale but I forgot I had a diva cup in & he never called me back.
please god allah zeus mazda baal whoever else is listening we need this we need this thank you for your attention to this matter
RFK, RFK, how many folks did you kill today?
NEW figures show that 61,226 people are currently in ICE detention — the highest number ever in US history. According to ICE data, 70% of these people have no criminal conviction.
Openly talking about this with my family since January.
I eat Maine oysters in the summer, it’s fine.
He’s going to come back as lich. His phylactery is among all the MAGA hats displayed in the Oval Office.
The White House’s best necromancer (Steven Miller) is getting time & a half this weekend.

Mother fucker I didn’t bring my designated bottle of champagne to the cabin with me fuuuuuuuuu
This is the kind of shit these people pull. It’s never their fault. My life is more peaceful without her so 🤷🏻♀️.
2020 rolls around, covid happens & she doesn’t reach out. I cancel my wedding, still nothing. 2020 turns into 2021 turns into 2022 & suddenly she’s telling my sister she doesn’t understand why I stopped talking to her.
My conservative mom stopped speaking to me in 2019 when I gently pushed back on inviting 15 members of her husband’s family who I hadn’t seen in 20 years to my wedding. I didn’t even say no, I just said hey I need to talk to the venue & figure out the budget of adding 15 more people.
I will yell at my congresswoman for you to *not* publicly embarrass yourself bb
