How lovely.

The number of social media posts I have seen where parade is (mis)spelled as perade is making me really hope I'm missing some reference. 😐

Proud of Minnesotans

Sadly, I feel like this thread speaks to why she was targeted. Melissa Hortman was clearly a politician who cared for, and worked for, her state's benefit. Minnesota, I am sorry for your loss. I hope justice is done.

I continue to block anyone who posts LLM-generated images unironically and I have to say that it has really been worth it. Highly recommend.

NEW: Democracy is alive in Philly! Amazing scenes in Philadelphia as thousands hit the streets for the anti-Trump protest. #NoKings #50501Movement

The neighborhood is getting ready for tomorrow

Don't just say it's unconstitutional, remind people that the constitution is full of very good ideas designed to prevent authoritarianism, and most people who want to ignore it want that specifically because they are authoritarian.

I wonder how many people miss the calm, stability, and prosperity of the last administration?

If Trump actually had a mandate to do what he's doing we wouldn't have nationwide protests and he wouldn't need the military to silence those protesters

It's embarrassing that they have as many eyes on them as they do. It's a shame that they have as much influence as they do.

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

Happy Pride Month 2025 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Be gay do crow stuff #pridemonth #pridecrows

Seeing any new (last 10 years) romantasy placed next to Kushiel's Dart is just... 😭 Kushiel's is epic, in the literary sense, hubris & all. If anything, more romantasy writers need to read Kushiel's. Jacqueline Carey simply excels at her craft. You cannot put them side by side and call it fair.

On Friday I got bad news at work delivered in the worst way. I was quite a mess about it. Today more than one friend checked in. Good to be remembered, thought of, loved.

My union is party of why my wage as a teacher is livable! Worker solidarity. A rising tide lifts all boats.

The bad news is Bluesky's daily unique liker count is down over a three-month period. The good news is you can just use whatever websites you want to without caring about that kind of stuff for any reason

Good luck, babe.

The “lets tell anyone we dont like to kill themselves” crowd are not welcome here sorry

Went out for date night dinner with my SO and during the meal we were like, Why don't we do this more often? And then the check was $100 and we were like Oh. Right. I remember. We can afford it, but not often.

Listening to the Bechdel Cast episode on The Road to El Dorado and hearing Jose Maria Luna call the Spanish Inquisition a series of human sacrifices to appease the gods (paraphrasing here) rearranged my brain. Damn right, that shit was freaky. Perfect way to describe it. Woof. Gonna have to ponder.

We are now listening to Mitch All Together while eating dinner. My SO has only told me to stop reciting twice... 🫣

Sorry, this is a Mitch Hedburg appreciation account now. I don't make the rules.

100% this. I can hear it so clearly. "Well that's a fresher.... I'm going on break!"

Died too young 😭
