Shameless old baggage giving unsolicited advice who adores embarrassing the young. Oh, that's a fish called a sarcastic fringehead in the photo.

Really Cool how nobody wanted to take this shit seriously

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

For #MementoMoriMonday, vogueing, shredded Death. Hans Leinberger, c. 1520s. The figure probably held a bow in his now-empty hand, like the 16th-c. French carving in the 2nd photo. art.thewalters.org/.../figure-o... www.mfa.org/collect.../o... #TheVictorianBookoftheDead

The “Party of Freedom” is coming for marriage rights. All part of Project 2025. We tried to warn people.

Here's a baby otter to start your week.

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

If history is any guide, fake emergencies are intended to lead to real crackdowns.

This would fix me.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stop for a moment and watch this little roadrunner utterly ecstatic to show his mama the treasure he found 🥹🥹🥹

True story bro.

In a world of Stephen Millers, be *anyone* else.

To anyone who wondered, what could go wrong if we elected as president a highly volatile, deeply dishonest, simple-minded cretin with a revenge fetish, the answer is THIS. All of THIS.

Taking #NameYourPoisonDay literally, here's a collection of tales of indirect poisonings: from a cow’s paunch to dried peaches–-some unlikely cases of toxicity. thevictorianbookofthedead.wordpress.com/2022/06/08/p... #TheVictorianBookoftheDead

Oh, honey . . . You can’t even get your wife back.

My identity was stolen $ I found out 6/3 a day after they'd stolen $1k from my checking account. It's a nightmare fixing everything, new account, lock SSN, direct deposits, auto debits, credit cards and on and on. It was an Apple scam. There are also Comcast, Toll Road, McAffee, IRS $ more Be wary.

Donald Trump incited a violent mob to attack the Capitol. Hundreds of dangerous felons who brutally beat police officers with impunity were then pardoned by the President on his first day in office. Don’t ever lecture America about law and order.

The fires are so extensive across Manitoba, Saskatchewan & Ontario currently that there are not enough air crafts to rescue remote Native Canadians. I am sending an SOS to every nation to help save the lives of people who are going to burn alive. Literally. Canada needs evacuation assistance.

A little joy. The life of a children's librarian takes many forms. #librariansky #wildthings #booksky #sendak #sendakbirthday

Kamala Harris had a plan for affordable housing and groceries, but some people voted based on tens of people they don’t like playing sports they don’t watch 🙄 Just a sorry state of affairs in Ameri-Dumb

In all honesty, I would not urge the international community to come to this country unless it’s absolutely necessary. The first risk is the flight ✈️ into the country, the second is the detainment by Homeland Security.

Healthcare for seniors is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon *is* waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.

Enough Said..😱

Excellent question.

The kind of good news I’m grateful for. TY @hwahl16.bsky.social for sending this my way 💚

Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there. What an unbelievable asshole.
