She has, however, read the part about how she should be doing a lot of gassy screaming and spitting up right now
Butch Strega Nona. Genderqueer, she/her, but they/them is fine too. You maybe know me from Twitter. Better a pig than a fascist.

She has, however, read the part about how she should be doing a lot of gassy screaming and spitting up right now
My baby appears not to have read all the manuals that say she should only be awake for 30-90 minutes at a time. No, we’re five weeks old and doing 3-4 hour stretches at least once a day
Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind
Maybe it will happen tonight
so that's the residence - specifically a hallway outside a bedroom on the third floor:
Time to remind people about the Commercial Pattern Archive — it doesn’t have instructions and search is a bear but there’s two hundred years’ worth of clothing patterns in here including all the big names new and old: copa.apps.uri.edu
Get in losers we’re bringing back Sense8
thank you for your feedback 30 internet strangers i hadn't considered the less funny version of my joke
This is infuriating and you should send it to every veteran you know, because while you can’t lose your civilian job while you’re activated, they don’t have to pay you, and you can’t get the mortgage pause until you’ve been activated a month. American Legion & VFW should be on fire.
Katrina was a defining moment in my development as a compassionate and politically aware human being. Living in Texas at the time, I met a lot of people displaced by Katrina and it was always gut wrenching to hear what they went through
Introducing the Gay School for Godless Communism, my new chain of charter schools that the state of Indiana will surely let me establish to siphon off some of the last remaining public school funding, right? RIGHT???? stateaffairs.com/indiana/elec...
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.
Beautiful 1860s Victorian butterfly, which was used to store small packets of sewing needles on the underside of the wings. This was a collaboration between a London-based drapers company and a sewing needle manufacturer. On exhibit at Tatter Blue, a Brooklyn textile museum. IG tatterbluelibrary
They’re doing all this to prevent people from MEMORIALIZING A MASS SHOOTING
Let’s not get into fat shaming please. He’s not an asshole because he’s fat
I would not put it past Amy to have had a whole second life on another coast tbh
Let’s start a rumor that the guy playing golf was a body double
hi, cis folks! this is present day reality for UK trans folks. it’s outrageous someone should have to have taken this journey to live as themselves, participate in society, & be with who they love. hi, cis americans! this is a future trans americans see that starts with “we need to compromise.”
As a former horse girl, there are definitely low-rent horses. I took my riding lessons from an eccentric lady in the backwoods with a lot of ponies who also made pottery and let her potbellied pig and peacocks wander in and out of the house
You mad bro?
I see and I hear and I speak no evil; I carry no malice within my breast; yet quite without wishing a man to the Devil one may be permitted to hope for the best. -“An Ethical Grook” by Piet Hein
If he isn’t dead I guess he at least gets to see the entire Internet going apeshit hoping he is
If someone tells me that he’s alive I’m gonna tell them that it isn’t the time to talk about that. Not while folks are grieving. We should focus on mental health
Them: even if he dies, nothing with change Me: except he’s dead and I’ll be glad he’s dead and everyone will be glad he’s dead. Now give me my tambourine back, Susan
standing on our balcony yelling down to each boy and asking him “what news”
Goodness, if the President has a serious health problem I certainly hope he follows the expert medical advice of his Secretary of Health and Human Services
He really is Patrick Bateman. He spends a lot of time with his hair slicked back, coolly fighting the other side in a fashionable way, and then at night he runs out to furiously throw some homeless person’s last picture of their family into a garbage can.
how do we not have an app that will make all our phones make the tornado sound if it happens
We just got a mini fridge this week and it has occurred to me that we should really put a bottle of champagne in there to chill. Just in case
You would assume we were murdering this child with the way she screams through diaper changes. How dare we rob her of her hard-won poops
Come on. Come onnnn
We address our cats as “my human infant,” while also holding our actual human infant
Mass shooters since 2018 who were transgender — 4. Mass shooters since 2018 who were not transgender — 4,193. Hope that helps.
Anyone in the DMV looking to get professional broadcast equipment? A public access station (?) went out of business and their stuff's all up for auction for backrent and taxes. rasmus.com/auctions/ZoO...
Once again this is a hell of a time to have a baby. Just kind of holding on and hoping we have things under control in 18 years
I’ll wish ill all day long. I’m wishing ill right now
Okay but there should be (also I should reread it)
At the same time I think it’s a little weird when adults claim they don’t like ANY kids’ things. Like…you’re not a different species
Dont follow the orders. make backups. shits bad.
Thinking about asking my psychiatrist to increase my dose and just set aside the extra
Yeah I don’t think you need to feel weird about it, just be cognizant of it. You’re a guest in those spaces
The thing about accepting Newsom's depravity against trans people or the homeless on the grounds of "Yeah, that's bad, but we have to beat Trump or it'll be worse." is that by accepting it, you mark it as acceptable, both within your mind and in the larger world around you.
I also wonder this
So at what point should I start stockpiling Zoloft?
? I am very much against generative AI
Omg
i hate this man with the intensity of a thousand suns
To save you a click— “Showrunner” is the name of the AI company. The person behind it is Edward Saatchi, whose last job was making content for Oculus for Meta. Which is not a job that exists anymore. Anyway this looks horrific
only so many words you can put in a headline but the whole response is loud and proud support for the trans community and worth reading
The key to the double-ADHD marriage, @tekla.bsky.social and I have found, is simply finding someone with a compatible set of symptoms. For instance, they’re time blind, I’m not. They can organize a list of tasks, I can’t
It’s gutting to think of the parents who fought to get their kids into these trials as last resorts who are now getting that chance to save their kid ripped away from them for no reason
Also because the administration loves using young “pretty” white women as spokespeople so they can paint critics as bullies
Sorry for mostly posting about frivolous and inconsequential things these days. I do see all the bad news and think it’s bad. I just also have a newborn and my brain is soup
How wildly ungrateful for the guy whose movies entirely depend on the work of VFX artists
Mark Cuban passive aggressively complaining about this website’s user base by reposting people applauding a random older lady who constantly ratios him for bad healthcare takes is a certified Bluesky moment
Go for it. I don't even care any more.
I get that there's lots of scary, terrible shit going on but I think there's a responsibility to be careful about the line between "sharing scary sounding headlines/posts by right wing crackpots" and "real thing to be concerned about"
A World War II-era fad was postcards of cats dressed up like humans and doing everyday things Artist: Eugen Hartung
Important clarification, multiple CDC sources tell me: Federal employees are not allowed to strike/walk out, so this is *not* a walkout but a "clap out" to show support for departing leadership. Current employees were either given permission to attend by a supervisor or used leave time to attend.
More than this is that they have been actively antagonistic.
I apparently look plausibly Latina enough that I occasionally get approached by Spanish speakers. Alas, I only remember enough of my high school Spanish to say I don’t speak much Spanish
This reminds me of a Martin Luther King quote I came across earlier this year that resonated with me given...everything about both me and the world lol "The American people are infected with racism--that is the peril. Paradoxically, they are also infected with democratic ideals--that is the hope."

In case you need an ethicist's input: it's not only acceptable but, I'd argue, obligatory to say what you need to say to get a COVID vaccine. We have duties of care to each other, and particular duties of solidarity to those the regime wants dead, which supersede situational duties of truthfulness.
Snort laughed at work
I wish I was better at making a fuss for myself. For other people, I can do it no problem, including on the street interventions in violent situations. For me? No
NEW: CNN's now publicly released video analysis shows Israel's 'double-tap' attack on Nasser Hospital was, in fact, actually a triple-tap. They bombed the hospital, and then fired upon the rescue team and journalists with not one but two more shells.
i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.
I will never understand how American elites managed to convince themselves that uncivil debate — not fascism, not impunity and not widespread indifference to facts — is the defining problem of our time. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/o...
🚨Border Patrol arrested two firefighters who were actively fighting a wildfire at the time. When the other members of the crew asked for a chance to say goodbye, a Border Patrol agent told the crew member “you need to get the f*ck out of here. I’m going to make you leave.”
imagine being so maniacally racist that you side with the fire over the firefighter
Spotted by the north entrance of the Dupont Circle metro. Also spotted, about 4-6 National Guard on the Metro Center platform. No NG on the Union Station Metro platform. 🤷♀️
They kicked me out of the Cracker Barrel rebranding meeting but I won't stop until the chain is renamed Honkey Bucket
That’s cool! Did he happen to live near the University of Iowa? I know Ponseti was developing the method since the 50s, but it didn’t catch on broadly until much later
So many adults have to fail a child before he ends up 10 years old telling CNN about the mass shooting he lived through this morning
It’s weird that most people don’t know anything about it when it’s one of the most common birth defects, though. Including me, before we got the diagnosis at her anatomy scan. I guess that’s a marker of how successful treatment has gotten
The standard of care actually has changed in that time, though— used to be that surgery was the default, but now the standard is the Ponseti method of casts for a few weeks followed by braces full time for a couple of months, then overnight for the first four years
Japan has just opened its first osmotic power plant 🌊⚡ This works by mixing fresh & salt water across a membrane, creating pressure that drives a turbine to make electricity. This site will generate 880,000 kWh a year...while helping run a desalination plant providing fresh water to the city 👏
No CVS employee is somehow checking your whole medical record
Kinda hate the "has not worked" framing here. Masked ICE agents aren't a problem because they're not hitting KPIs or whatever. They're a problem because they cause profound human suffering and violate deeply held beliefs about how we might live in community together.
Also, if none of these conditions apply to you, I recommend lying 🤷🏻
Also keep in mind that obesity qualifies you. That’s a lot of people (me included)
"The fascists want us depleted, numb, and cynical." - I keep this top of mind daily and I actively refuse.
POV: you are trying to take a picture of your beautiful infant daughter where she does not look horrified
That’s been my response too. Like yeah, that would suck, but also AI is making that impossible to prevent and although it would upset me it wouldn’t actually harm her
Absolutely. It’s just so much sensory input for someone who’s literally never seen any of it before
Aw thanks. I think she has a cute little pixie face
“We saw you from across the bar and we absolutely hate your vibe”
Also a PSA about why her feet look like that— she’s in casts to correct bilateral club feet. This does not hurt her and the problem will be fixed before it ever becomes an issue for her mobility, and well before she can remember it
They yanked her out of her hot tub for this!!
Maybe don’t
It’s kind of her default awake face at this point and it’s hilarious
Also, if anyone gets weird with this you’re getting blocked
(Please do not respond to this scolding me for putting pictures of her online. I assure you I’m judicious in what I share and have considered the risks, which for a baby I judge to be very low— what, are strangers going to DM her?)
