Does it rhyme with Snapper?

Does it rhyme with Snapper?
Real thoughts and prayers might mean something - but this is just a rote response - no thought put into it - just throw it out and then wipe your hands.
You do vital work - he/ she can’t accept that you are important
BINGO - I never thought I’d see this in my lifetime. The press is afraid and doesn’t care.
Coolidge Corner Boston #NoKings
When I taught school, I knew students who had this attitude. I hated their sense of privilege. Now I live in a city apartment and witness professionals in their 20s and 30s who still treat maintenance staff with this casual disregard.
They don’t believe it - not yet - when it happens to them 💣💥
Giving TACO Tuesday a whole new meaning
And it only has a capacity of about 300
Smart enough to know Trump will tell him what to do if he’s elected - doesn’t want to be associated with that stink
Petty Woman
Can we please convince him to wear a jacket with many medals - and maybe big sash with medals too
Immigrants from Haiti would speak French - so is French next?
It’s all ridiculous - but Spanish?
The Olympics must not come to U.S. Too many people will be hassled.
everything else is secondary right now - if they can disappear those people - we are steps away from death squads intimidating every one of us /2
I’m worried about Social Security, tariffs, insider trading, education, etc - but the biggest thing right now - every day media, Congress, church leaders should be hollering about - is the illegal imprisonment of people on El Salvador /1
Terrible - but do they realize yet that they will be suppressing their own voters?
In times of uncertainty - people cut back. It will be devastating on Main Street. It will just take a month or 2 longer than the stock market.
The same Republicans who blocked funding for Veterans Suicide Prevention, Health Benefits, Wounded Veterans Job Security, Veterans Retraining, Disabled Veterans Home Accessibility, and the Veterans Business Center are the same Republicans who found $113 MILLION for Trump's birthday parade.
I can understand it - Boston - Dunkin’ - many per block
NEW: ALA is going to court to stop the President’s attempts to illegally dismantle the Institute of Museum & Library Services. The President does not have the authority to destroy a federal agency. That's why we're taking action with our co-plaintiff @afscme.bsky.social. #ForOurLibraries (1/3)
Yes - have a protest elsewhere
Yes - he will claim he won - even though nothing changed - and media will pamper him
We’re launching the People’s Cabinet—a group of leaders, experts, and everyday Americans who will cut through Trump’s lies and speak directly to the people. Stay tuned for more.
If true - this is crazy!!!
But he’s right - there isn’t a 20% tariff - it’s 25%
Abbreviated Cory Booker “We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight! We’re going to live on! We’re going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!
It was the worst of times, it was the best of Mrs. Dalloway
They’re coming in with sledge hammers - but they don’t know how to build anything.
Nope - she’s complicit
I’d say hello where have you been - but I see you’ve been here all along - just not on my timeline. 🤔 Welcome back to my space
Yup - and it’s the kind of thing someone might do while drinking
Perfect! I would support you as would millions other.
Sometimes you “gotta do what you gotta do” - I don’t think A* will be enriched if you make an exception
Oops - buy it now!
But it now and we’ll throw in a set of steak knives.
I thought they should wear Ukraine’s colors - pink means nothing now
Of course he did.
They should go and dress in Ukraine’s colors - that will really fluster Trump
Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine
Wear Ukraine’s colors
Must read part 2

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, talks like a duck . . .
@warren.senate.gov @markey.senate.gov @govmaurahealey.bsky.social please try to get these for Massachusetts residents
Five employees at the JFK Library in Boston were laid off today in connection with a Trump administration overhaul of federal workers. "Without them, we are unable to stay open," a source tells @gbhnews.bsky.social. "It has been chaotic and we are seeking clarity."
For anyone from Boston or thinking of visiting Boston - this is outrageous
I don’t have good design/messaging skills - waiting on someone else to start an effective campaign
Make something into stickers - distribute in tens of thousands
@alexwinter.com was in Boston today for #TeslaTakedown - was disappointed in numbers - but we were dedicated and passionate - it’s a start - we will prevail
I don’t understand how we can allow an erasing of history
This!
They should have then locked them out of their own site
Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.
There’s a T dealer in Boston - Pridential Center
There’s a dealership in Boston - Prudential Center - I’ll be there Saturday
North Carolina Attorney General Jeff Jackson
Make a smaller sticker version - and we can all post them all over
When someone adds incorrect information to FamilySearch - if you don’t change it - will you at least add corrected information via bio or notes. I read those if family seems dubious.
Yup - I’m one of them - was all set to travel more - now it will be by train or bus
That’s the message.
But Musk is now the person with access to Treasury computers and could steal us blind
Only a young girl working in office - left letter - explained my concerns- will follow-up with calls - and make myself a nuisance if Reps don’t get their act together
Will do!
I’m going tomorrow - it’s a first time for me - desperate times call for desperate measures. I will bring a letter enumerating my concerns -and my expectations of an aggressive public response by him
I will be showing up in my congressman’s office tomorrow with a letter asking for his plan - and suggesting he be aggressive in his response to this invasion of privacy of U.S. citizens data and access to classified information by people without proper clearance.
While I like this idea - the tariffs for these products go into Ts pockets - I may have to travel directly to Canada to support them. We need a coalition of people in other nations to buy Canadian and Mexican products
Preach!
Read it earlier - I want a People’s Cabinet - we need information from experts - too many people are running around trying to put out too many fires - we need focus
I stand with Canada and Mexico
I felt it Boston - chair trembled ever so slightly- thought chair was breaking - or I had a nerve twitch. Happy for an explanation.
First they came for the fact checkers... ...and then, well, accounts differ about who they came for next or if they even came and who "they" even were... we're not really sure, but we do have *strong* opinions about it!
Thanks - am looking for resources - want to keep healthy during next 4 years
I want some sort of social media account to track health stuff - maybe report from different state health departments - so we know what health risks are coming our way
If US gov is muting important health information - where do we go for updates? Blue state health departments? There needs to be some reliable group that starts pumping that information out. #health #disease #vaccines
I imagine you doing this. With a resistance fist in the air
I’ve only seen Olivia on IG -?haven’t heard anything about Sylvanaire
I will also be submitting a photo colorized by My Heritage - it brings a flat b&w snapshot to life.
Destroy this myth. Please share if you have visited and researched in a library this past year! RT And give a shout out to your favorite library you have ever visited.
Easy peasy!
Heartbreaking - and I did think Dickens while reading it
If and when - I would donate
So happy you are here - I’ve missed your posts since we both left the bird place.
My favorite videogame
Be careful - whether you agree with Biden’s pardon of Hunter or not - don’t be distracted - don’t expend your energy on that - there are bigger things threatening our country - our democracy
I read that as a basket of emotional support puppies - that will do it for me
#WriterWednesday library-love moment.
I stand by what I said in a previous post. I’m not going to fight imaginary dragons. I’ll prepare to fight the real ones when they arrive.
Every time I move - one of the first things I do is get a library card
Left twitter when Musk took over - went on threads - I’m now here and on threads
Introduce yourself to #Genealogy Bluesky. Years researching: 47 yrs - started after Roots aired Hobbyist or pro: hobbyist Fun fact/Wildest discovery: finding conversos expelled from Portugal during Inquisition in my ancestry My niche/s: nothing special - just research for the fun of it
The best!
I want to introduce you to Next Comes What by Andrea Pitzer because I will going on about it a lot! It's worth your time. I know it's worth mine. It's about what we can learn from the rise of strongmen to thwart Trump. The first ep is "How We Survive This Mess." And people are digging it.
I really like this idea. I would like to make a commitment to doing one a month in 2025. I may reach out to you to see other examples when I start.
Is it better to block or mute?
Nothing stays up forever - the economy is due for a downturn - and Trump will make moves that will make it worse
