Ooh I can't believe I didn't think of Sage.
There is absolutely no reason to follow me. I hardly even post pictures of my dog.

Ooh I can't believe I didn't think of Sage.
Rowan, Stone, Linden, Liam, Ian, Emma, Olivia?
That's also that verse about the millstones, which is from the New Testament
I grew up in the 80s and my county had a whole special shelter for kids kicked out by religious parents for having sex. Pretty sure liberals aren't more prone to cutting people off, though we might wait longer to do it.
The Palestinian-led BDS movement has updated our priority targets, pressure targets and organic campaign targets.
You do have the choice of pressuring your candidate to be better on important issues
One of the things Muslims really have better than Christians is the ability to call people brother and sister without sounding snide
At 28th and the Greenway tonight a guy who wasn't going to stop even though I was halfway across the street yelled "next time push the button for the light!" Because he apparently doesn't understand the sign that says "stop for peds and bikes in crosswalk"
Car drivers just fucking love to make up rules they think cyclists are breaking
At least it was edited for TV. My FiL let the kids watch Conan, he just fast forwarded through the nudity
So far it's their only bad choice. The merger is pretty good, actually.
This one was a combo but they jointly chose a new stupider name
My credit union went from a normal credit union name to a random noun a decade ago, then recently rebranded to a much worse random noun. No bank should have a fire related name unless it is the Fire Fighters and First Responders Credit Union.
People hate change, generally, but also people are so wedded to their cars they hate change that makes cars less central more than other kinds of change, I think.
They've made Christian into a lifestyle brand too. Erased all the history and theology and substituted politics.
Activists continue to disrupt ICE hiring events. Here is a report from one recent action in #Atlanta, GA. itsgoingdown.org/anti-ice-act...
After two decades I let my live in Linux engineer talk me into a Linux machine and since it makes me never want to use the thing I guess it's probably good for me.
Romance heros always notably have the natural figure other men achieve with corsets and padding.
UNRWA warns there is no space for Palestinians forcibly fleeing Gaza City, as Israeli attacks attempt to forcibly displace nearly a million people to so-called evacuation zones in southern Gaza. š“ LIVE updates: aje.io/siqj7j
The thing is, it is. People in every kind of neighborhood oppose bike lanes and in most cases their fears are wrong. Bike lanes don't cause crime, or kill small business, or gentrify neighborhoods.
I don't think "bet it all on the midterms" is a better strategy now than "bet it all on 24" was in 21, but if we're doing it anyway, I'd like to see the authors of that strategy at least working right now on the question of "how do we protect and encourage minority voting if ICE is at the polls?"
I'm 50 and Lou Reed's Walk on the Wild Side was a dad rock radio standard when I was growing up.
Damn it Link, making me choose between instant blocking and watching the takedown first thing in the morning.
What if I want grapes but I'm very lazy?
Missing: Amarion Dwayne Easley, 15, last seen in St. Cloud on July 21. www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...
Huge judgement. Volkswagen ordered to pay R$165 million for using slave labor in the Amazon during the 1970s-80s. reporterbrasil.org.br/2025/08/volk...
Not enough Shamash worshippers to fund it.
Buy it doesn't say they are expanding our improving those services. There are social workers out every day trying to help people find services. I'm practice we know that sweeps disrupt that
So, that is the service they need. Is it available as part of this new program?
Also about 1/3 of a container of dairy barn soft serve. Which I didn't get any of this year because I was too full by the end of the day.
If those resources existed and were acceptable to people, people would be in shelter already.
This is why it's better to go to the fair with a lot of people. I want one cookie, three bites of corn dog, a single mini donut, and like 7 cheese curds
This time there's gonna be enough changing to lift the Pentagon
Are they actually adding services and permanent housing? If not, no.
The SF trilogy where the What If was "what sister would have to hit DC for Congress to give a shit?"
The State Fair is where everyone has an audience for their special interest
No for real, they've been like this since at least 1999. They just had different excuses before that. Didn't even come when a neighbor was shot in our alley back in 2003.
Exactly.
Oh they've been like that since well before they murdered George Floyd.
It's so disturbing to have to talk people out of calling the cops on homeless people just for existing.
I've been watching it happen in real time about homelessness since 2020
On this day in 1955, two white men abducted and murdered 14-year-old Emmett Till in Mississippi.
What are we supposed to say about it? There's nothing but sorrow. Are we supposed to speculate about the details, offer empty condolences the bereaved won't see?
First image I saw this morning, right after daycare dropoff, before any of the headlines hit. And what will haunt me the most is that I needed no context for it. I understood what I was looking at immediately. I bet you did, too. Melt the fucking guns. Make it fucking stop.
It's amazing, the colosseum is more full than I've ever seen it. And they just said that tomorrow there is llama obstacle course competition.
Running corporate meetings with the skills I learned from anarchist organized events, so by the end of the meeting everything we said should be done has a concrete commitment from someone
Private subscription is really common, when they took it away in our sister city people were really mad, they enjoyed shopping around for trash service.
And who is paying? Does DC have to pay out of their budget, or is it federal?
Congratulations!
wish people would expand their definition of safety to include safety from government violence
Every conservative?
Fuck off and stop doing the bosses work for them. You apparently don't even know what working people look like
It's just the goose meme forever. They only hated using troops to support integration or stop right wing crime.
That makes sense. Phones can just amplify anxiety.
Don't they have jobs,? I was so grateful to go to the fucking office and not listen to my kid for five goddamn hours a day.
Why do you do this to us?
I think that's it too. They want a twink.
I'm picturing the old Wobbly tactic of another person jumping up on the soapbox as soon as the last one was arrested, but with flags and lighters.
Four journalists were killed by an Israeli strike on a Gaza hospital today, including Mariam Dagga, a freelancer with the @apnews.com. She has a 12-year-old son, who was evacuated from Gaza earlier in the war. She was a true hero, like all of our Palestinian colleagues in Gaza. tinyurl.com/3cn5c9vb
Political observation of the evening: Peggy Flanagan simply walking to her seat at the Indigo Girls/Melissa Ethridge concert just caused a spontaneous standing ovation.
They talk to their kids, it's just they tell them lies.
I'm so sorry these people act like that. It's not just that you shouldn't have to deal with it, they shouldn't fucking exist.
They want to lie to their children and don't want reality to intervene. We had family members who told their kids we were married when we were not because they thought us having a baby would be "confusing" otherwise. As if kids ask if all their friends parents are married.
Your link doesn't go anywhere.
Or maybe those folks had already been subjected to decades of copaganda and got hit with intense multipronged media campaigns. I know in the 612 we were barraged with phone calls, push polls, billboards, everything. On top of the national media.
It was better message wise because reform in practice meant no accountability and more money for cops. Of course conservatives loved it. They don't hate the weird defund, they hate the meaning.
Then there must be someone wrong with the bike lanes. Are they full of glass and potholes, often blocked by cars, can cyclists get out of them to turn?
Sidewalk rule is pretty universal and also laws saying you can't block sidewalks. So you see a lot of protests and pickets just marching back and forth on the sidewalk.
Defund is what we went to after decades of "reform" failing.
Listen to them trying to get him on resisting arrest charges, too.
One of the basic parts of American conservatism is the hierarchy where parents don't listen to children. It's built right in.
Yes, every time you change venues you lose people. It's the same with physical locations. But you lose people by not leaving if things have gotten bad, too.
Since Democrats have been using the battle without defending the language and people being attacked, maybe the path to winning isn't to continue not defending it
āTo be afraid is to behave as if the truth were not true.ā Bayard Rustin, who died on this day in 1987
Half the time when we ask for stop signs we're told we can't have them because if there are too many drivers just stop obeying signs
When I was in my early 20s there was a rapist using police lights to pull women over on rural roads near my hometown. The advice was to not pull over until you were in a lit, populated area. But there's a chance that would get you shot or run off the road by real cops.
He's Jewish with a Catholic wife and both so conservative they put their kid into an Evangelical school. Also he doesn't understand that reading passages aloud in public to people who didn't consent is different than allowing people to choose to read things.
These motherfuckers who see another vehicle stopping for a crosswalk and drive through anyway, because they expect all the rest of us to dodge their reckless murderous behavior.
Every child in Palestine Is the child in Omelas shsdavisapes.pbworks.com/f/Omelas.pdf
Cops do this routinely - leave or we'll find something to charge you with. Disturbing the peace, resisting arrest, threatening an officer. Something.
So just call them gorgeous. I am fat *and* gorgeous
The guy in that car definitely offered me a ride and then refused to let me back out until I threatened to jump out while the car was moving.
And are also people who should be able to feel safe.
There's no good phrase, whatever we say they go full blast demonizing.
I think they've been regretting it for years. Minneapolis has been trying to reform its police for at least 50 years.
It's also possible their leadership were just sadists, not sex criminals. They openly advocate violence against children, don't cover it up, and the public doesn't care
When kids get into tough situations of people trying to take advantage of them, sometimes the only thing that saves them is having an adult they can talk to who gives unconditional acceptance and love. James Dobson wanted to destroy those family bonds and replace them with nothing but pain and fear
Haha. At my last job half the team had the good Acrobat and half didn't and managers said no to paying for more licenses so we spent a lot of time emailing documents back and forth to split/combine them for teammates
All the "healthy" snacks are extra crunchy because having to chew a lot means virtue or something.
Doing food distribution to old or homeless people you have to continually remind the middle class people that lots of people need soft foods because they have bad teeth.
Same people who were mad about free lunch from schools.
Exactly. ESPECIALLY the people in their lives.
Updated biking to the fair guide just dropped, and itās a good one!
Until everyone got a TV in their own room, and now everyone streams to their tiny pocket screen
My husband recently went on a cruise with his mother and decided he wanted a wedding ring, so I guess I'm getting him one for our 15th anniversary this year.
And maybe we'll get lucky again tomorrow!
TVs, same.
The way my phone lit up this morning because James Dobson died!
What difference are they making? None.
Then they should dissociate with the thugs. You wouldn't say "oh my uncle never quit the gang but he didn't really agree with the dealers and enforcers"
