*asks my husband to put lotion on my back* Me: Can you put more lotion? I need to be lubed up like a Thanksgiving turkey. Him: You need a balance where you skin still makes it's own oils. If anarchy happens we may not have access to lotion. 🤣🤣🤣

We all saw it and heard it with our own eyes. So did Europe! #TheGreatestBetrayal

Re-upping this. We need experts in media literacy & stewards of the freedom to read now more than ever.

A record 533 anti-LGBTQ+ bills were introduced in state legislatures in 2024. A #healthpolicy researcher explains how these policies can harm the health of not only LGBTQ+ people, but all Americans: https://buff.ly/3CxyEOe (Nathaniel Tran, University of Illinois Chicago) #polisky đź©ş #lgbtq

Now more than ever.

Politicians often frame #tariffs like those Trump proposed as punishment for other countries, but they hit Americans hardest—raising grocery bills and disrupting businesses. An economics professor explains: https://buff.ly/3Q3y0Lm (Bedassa Tadesse, University of Minnesota Duluth)

The Lakota People's Law Project's 2025 Decolonized Reading List. There is so much to choose from here. lakotalaw.org/news/2025-01...

This is VERY good news. Love bookshop.org and all the stuff they do! www.salon.com/2025/01/28/b...

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Hi, all! I'm looking to learn about steeking. 🙊 I love stranded colorwork and fair isle designs, but I've avoided cardigans because of my fear of steeking. Does anyone have any recommendations for books, YouTube video, or other learning tools? #Knitting 🧶

DURBIN: I wonder if we ought to give fair warning to farmers and ranchers that if you have immigrant labor, you can expect federal agents to come and search your property. Is that in the future under the mass deportation plan? BROOKE ROLLINS *word salad*

This is the face of courage and compassion. Thank you Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde for speaking truth to power on behalf of the marginalized.

Reaching out to the Knitting community to see if anyone has copies of this pattern! It is the Oregon Cardigan by Alice Starmore. It is out of publication at this time. #Knitting #knittingpattern #alicestarmore #oregoncardigan

Today I've been stuck doom scrolling. Disheartened at how we are regressing as a country.

Trump's executive orders on #immigration try to do many things that will face challenges: - Only Congress can change the law on asylum - Mexico will need to agree to resuming the 'Remain in Mexico' program - The Alien Enemies Act requires proving a state of war exists

Holy shit I’m crying

60 years of research shows civilian responders are essential in disaster management. Recent LA wildfires highlight how neighbors and strangers mobilize to help, often outnumbering official channels.
