I just wanted to fix up a house and now look at this. I have no money to give you, even when I want to. Fuck crypto and the trumpsterfire.

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable
It just feels like a desperate attempt of your ex to make your new interest seem bad. "Oh, so you like that he works as a vet and has his own practice? Well, studies show that people are buying fewer pets than in 2020. Did you know that? Didja? Huh? HUH?!"
"Blueskyism" helped make The Onion one of the largest newspapers in the world in less than a year. If we had spent all of our time on Twitter, we'd be poorer, dumber and terminally ill with internet poisoning. He's just angry he's wasting away over there in a nazi agnostic lane that doesn't exist.
NASA scheduled a major workshop for early career researchers during the most important week of the Jewish calendar, during two of the most important days of that week and expects me to accept that this was “difficult scheduling conflicts” That’s what casual antisemitism sounds like
Hugs!
You are correct. They are more nuts than you think. When I was pregnant in 2013, my doc told me not to get any vaccines because I would give my kid autism. His license has since been revoked. They genuinely believe it's a direct link, despite dozens of studies proving otherwise.
Where has this ludicrous ECHR "debate" even come from. I've never once met an ordinary member of the public who's said to me, "Do you know what? We REALLY need to leave the ECHR." It's just a new right wing talking point because every other shit idea they've foisted on us has run out of steam.
Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.
Want the data? Here's the data.
You know how sometimes we find toxic waste that’s been haphazardly dumped decades ago and think, “what the fuck were they thinking?” That’s how the future will think about almost everything we’re doing in 2025.
HA! This is such a prickly situation. I'm so sorry. I hate when men are such huge dicks.
It's almost like the traditional retirement age should apply to politicians or something.
When I was an Amazon driver, holidays weren’t really holidays. Nobody gets paid holidays. If the holiday falls on a day that you’re regularly scheduled, you have to make up that day to get your regular weekly hours. Would it kill the company to give everyone real paid holidays? Happy Labor Day.
I've been playing this game all day. I allow myself to pretend he's actually dead and see what feelings I have. Then, I think about him being on bedrest, croaking to an aide to read him another post on twitter, hearing how many even there are in a funerary anticipation. This is a fun game!
Sell them on ebay and donate the $ to a fund that supports the mental health of women in science?
Could it be worse? Yes. But mfer it could be better too, and THATS why I’m irritated.
Autism existed before vaccines. I know this for a fact, because no normie would travel the planet in order to catalogue every plant and animal according to hyper-specific rules & a very specific layout for drawings. See also: branding style guides, cartography, and the scientific method.
This should be getting far more attention from the media, and it should be investigated as a hate crime. A 14-year-old Black teen was targeted, beaten, and dehumanized with racial slurs by white teens while people stood around cheering. 1/4
It's time to expand, my friend! Avocado toast is incredible when done right! It's just not as good as garden tomatoes hahaha! Oohhh! Avocado, tomato, and some good shaved ham from a family deli? Mmmmm
I am SO SKEPTICAL whenever everybody gets riled up and super projective with excitement but yeah this.
I want all of this plus accountability for poorly made products and materials.
There are tons of anti-tomatates. My husband and kiddo both! However, they also don't like avocado toast so they won't fight me. Haha!
It totally is, especially when you have a rad partner who encourages you to go do that sort of thing by yourself on a regular basis. Then you get both.
Wouldn't it be an odd coincidence if the broadcast was 84 seconds in & suddenly there's breaking news about his death? Then it could never be aired because you can't speak ill of a dead president! How disrespectful to politicize a man's death from natural causes that didn't happen a few days ago!
Barred from using telescopes women of Harvard Observatory studied the stars through glass photographic plates. They mapped the heavens by hand one star at a time. Leavitt discovered how to measure cosmic distances.Cannon developed the star classification system still taught in astronomy classes.
I feel we've progressed beyond "Weekend at Bernie's" speculation and are moving into "Norman Bates and Mother" territory
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.
💯
Garden fresh tomato mayo bagel is better than any avocado toast. I will fight you about it.
I agree with you, but people don't always listen to music for anything other than the vibe. Do you know how many weddings I've been asked to play Every Breath You Take or Crash? Both are about stalking hahah!
They loaded up those planes with children - some as young as 10. I don’t believe they had a safe place to go in Guatemala. And the government did not care. This admin is the least compassionate of any in my lifetime.
Hey, I’m going to wrap my arms around you a little too tight when I say this: To think that the rise of fascism is only happening in the US of even primarily happening in the US is American-centrism. Even if you’re not American. There is a global rise in power being taken from the people. (1/2)
It’s a little weird to demand people vote for a candidate as a necessary lesser evil three years before you even know if they’re going to be the candidate

Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:
If you say 'heteronormative' or 'unhoused person' or 'food insecurity' you're basically talking gibberish and nobody can understand you but if you say you can see inflammation in children at the airport and that vaccines lower IQ or that germs are a myth you get to fire all the scientists.
Bunch of people who never had to uproot their entire lives and move thousands of miles away ought to stop pontificating on asylum and immigration

every game dev who was part of the "this elemental attack actually heals this enemy" thing needs to be arrested

A good question to ask oneself politically is 'what do I need to ignore in order to maintain my commitment to x, y, and z?' Because if you, for example, need to ignore a whole group of people's humanity in order to vote for a horrible politician, then it may be too costly to your soul.
Get a lap craft. Embroidery, hand sewing, crochet, sketching, beading. Time comes for us all, and when you have downtime it's important to have something that keeps you from going crazy while you wait to heal from whatever. Plus, then you have cool stuff.
I just choked on my tea
Hahaha! You should try other words. Like, "I hate shrimp fried rice," or "Vans are better than Converse." Just poke everybody in the eye.
Our TV president is avoiding the TV. Suspicious AF
My dad mistakenly thought that they had lowered a flag to half mast at the festival I’m at and I cannot describe how excited I was for a moment
I stubbed my toe just now. Earlier, however, I saved a busload of anonymous children from certain death.
Love to see it.
I should clarify that I'm okay with the reminder. It's good to shoot for the moon, but sticking to legal altitudes has a pattern and rhythm to it. It's comforting and satisfying to have rules and guardrails.
It started smooth, went haywire, and ended smooth. The haywire is unfixable, so I have to cut out the stitching, mark it properly, and do it again. I thought I could freehand embroider, and most of it was great, but I constantly remind myself why taking time matters.
It's my headphones. I'm doing the fancy edge stitch today, but I've not done one before and have no clue if it's working. I'll post a photo in a bit. My head is overfull of stitches right now. Haha
ADHD is such a jerk.
That feeling when you can't move on to the next step of a project because it's the last step and now it can be proven that all of your ideas are bad ones, even though it's absolutely working already.
This. If you have any education or intellectual curiousity, you can easily see we’re being led into fascism by narcissistic sociopaths. If you can’t see it, it’s because you’ve made a conscious decision not to.
White people have completely altered "woke" to mean "thing I don't like" and it's really pretty telling of what whiteness does.
The President of Portugal Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa called the orange felon a Russian asset in a live televised speech. Well done, this is how you do it. 👏
RFK Jr. likes to claim that thimerosal in childhood vaccines causes autism spectrum disorder (ASD). So I wonder if he’d like to explain how the rates of ASD diagnoses in the U.S. have kept going up when thimerosal was removed from all childhood vaccines in 2001?
I hope every swing is pure pain. I hope he gets into that cart and cries,"Can I go home now? It hurts so bad. Please? Can I be done for the day? I'm begging you," to which he is given no response as the agent driving stonefacedly drives to where the ball landed. Over. And over. And over.
Comedian Rita Brent previews Gloria Gaynor’s upcoming Kennedy Center performance
Griffin’s definition of fascism as palingenetic ultranationalism—specifically a reactionary nostalgia for a lost history of the nation that never existed—remains undefeated. A nostalgia for a type of bread that is ubiquitous, created in the 20th century, and rage towards bread as old as civilisation
Muted tf out of you. So exhausted by how irrelevant you've become.
Stfu you AI swilling rag. The response to children getting shot in church SHOULD NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, be "guns are cool actually." May you live in fear of your kid being shot for going to school, because that's what we do here.
Oh look. Another failed rag. I can't trust your reporting anymore, @theguardian.com.
He's still not a good guy. No one has that much money without oppressing others to get it. And he could stop homelessness and hunger for a few cities, but he doesn't. He could fund NPR, but he doesn't. He sits on his money and looks for opportunities to hoard more. No billionaire should exist.
FRIEND: Sometimes it feels like you're not really that sick. ME: [sarcasm] You caught me. I just collect doctors and MRIs for fun.
Trump is evil but he is largely irrelevant, he’s not really in charge and is part of a larger criminal network. If Trump were to die, the MAGA network would just prop up another figurehead. Trump is a representative of oligarchy not the head of it.
On the scale of things I worry about smallpox is above the collapse of AMOC but slightly below prehistoric virus’s from melted tundra which I guess could also be smallpox
I actually really love finding out so getting to fuck around beforehand is just a bonus
nobody has seen the president in three days [burping and rubbing my president shaped tummy] that’s crazy
The company that makes Jack Daniels whiskey is moaning about the Canadian boycott resulting in a 62% sales drop. It should be 100%. Keep it up, Canada.
They could put RFKj in there that’s a pretty close approximation to a mummy
man the thing is. if you're lucky enough to get old, when you're dying, you know there's gonna be a few people who don't mind it. everybody has haters. it's what it is. but our special boy at 1600 pennsylvania gets to live knowing that millions of people were excited to hear that maybe he died lol
what's the rule? no white people after Labor Day?
Introverts be like: “I want to be invited, but I don’t want to go.”
Trump is again threatening Chicago with a takeover on social media. We will again say those who trade liberty for the illusion of temporary safety deserve neither. We are not, and will not become, a military state. Remember freedom is something they can never take away, no matter what they tell you!
Watching Clueless, full of dinner, kiddos out with dad spending allowances, and I'm not even mad I have to recut my templates. I remember what it was like to feel hopeful and not afraid of my government. This was what it was supposed to be like all the time.
Now die, die, die, die, die.
Ham. Sliced ham.
Masked ICE aren’t about safety; they’re about fear and evading responsibility. Demand transparency and accountability by adding your name to this petition:
Question: Why did US put big tariffs on India despite major national interest in cultivating a strategic counterweight to China and trying to isolate Russia? Answer: Because the US president lied that he fixed India-Pakistan and India wouldn’t go along with the lie. (Seriously, that’s the answer)
Yes! Same!
Craft fundraisers are always the best ones!
OMG YOU EMBROIDER?! Okay, I definitely like you as a person entirely and not just as someone who keeps me honestly informed. I literally just bought my first scroll form an hour ago so I can do the long strips on the earpads of my headphones. This is the headband!

DUDE. YOUR JOB. NOT MINE.
It's not just you. I know well established artists who are having trouble getting work from regular clients. It's like the entirety of expendable budgets evaporated for anyone making less than $1M a year.
If you're arrested in Illinois protesting the planned ICE HQ in North Chicago, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at sheryl@weikallaw.com. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.
"Oh no! We are being forced to see how our wealth hoarding is affecting the little people qw like stepping g on and underpaying! How ever will we deal with consequences for our own actions when we've been paying other people to suffer for us for so long?!"
