I watched KPop Demon Hunters last night and aside from it being a just delightful animated film HOLY SHIT is the soundtrack catchy AF, I will not be at all surprised to hear these songs all summer long youtu.be/yebNIHKAC4A?...

If you think $2,000 table lamps and $250 flat sheets "aren't actually that expensive" then you're a delightful flavor of economically delusional (or more accurately in this case, preying on the social-climbing anxieties of the sort of person who reads the WSJ for house decorating tips).

1. Today, 200,000 marched in Budapest Pride in defiance of a ban by Orbán's far-right government. It was led by the city's mayor Gergely Karácsony, who got around the law by making it an "official city gathering." He was warned of arrest. They marched anyway. Subscribe to support my journalism.

It's really not.

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

When the going gets tough it’s always good to have a sing-song. Wishing all you fabulous people a fabulous weekend from Bryn and me.

My birthday is on Sunday, so enjoy 20% off through the 29th and help me treat myself to a kickass bday! And uh, pay some bills that desperately need it first ;v;

EXCLUSIVE — The Onion has a full-page ad in today’s NYT featuring part of an editorial calling out congressional fecklessness towards Trump. They also sent a copy of their latest issue to every lawmaker. My report, with an excerpt from the full editorial: www.thehandbasket.co/p/exclusive-...

As Republicans tossed hundreds of provisions into this budget bill and then voted it through in the wee hours of the morning, I'm remembering how they whined for years that the Affordable Care Act had been "rammed through" despite the fact that they debated it for literally an entire year

If you’ve ever wanted to watch me fight with a queen-sized quilt while trying to hand-quilt it because for some reason I decided that was a good idea…tomorrow is your day!

"Waste" is when people get Medicaid. "Efficiency" is when you let 60,000 tons of food that's already been paid for rot instead of feeding someone with it.

This is not a serious administration and it’s also filled with bad people

🚨NEW from @americanprogress.bsky.social: Republican Medicaid cuts will kill an estimated 21,600 people. These deaths are preventable—and Trump and Republicans are CHOOSING to vote to kill. Here's a district breakdown—tell your rep to VOTE NO (202) 224-3121: www.americanprogress.org/article/hous...

SCOOP: Since SSA installed new anti-fraud checks on claims made over the phone, only 2 claims out of over 110,000 were found to likely be fraudulent, according to internal documents I obtained. The policy has slowed down payments, though. Retirement claim processing is down 25%

On #MothersDay we recognize Maribel who's worked 15+ yrs in CAs blueberries & grapes. This mother is a powerful advocate for other mothers. “I work under high temperatures up to 108°. The heat feels like 120° when you are working in the fields. We deserve protection." #WeFeedYou

Tufts University student Rumeysa Ozturk was released from ICE detention on Friday, offering brief words of thanks to supporters gathered outside the Louisiana facility. "Thank you so much for all the support and love," she said.

i love quilting feathers! it’s my favorite free motion quilting design ❤️ #freemotionquilting #modernquilter #quiltingismytherapy

"Mystic Mountain" is a gas pillar in the Carina Nebula, where stardust curls into being. This vessel holds that moment, when chaos births light, and silence learns to shine. A vase shaped by fire, echoing the nebula’s breath, this is "Mystic Mountain." #space #pottery #sciart

Encouraged that the first sculpture in this series survived raku, I tried this one too! Another one survived! This piece is called 'Entanglement'. How do you like it? #sciart #space #art

I learned a new embroidery stitch today. It's called a Spider Web Rose. 😊 #Embroidery #HandEmbroidery

A new phase 3 trial suggests a single mRNA vaccine may protect against both COVID-19 and flu. mRNA-1083 met noninferiority criteria and showed higher immune responses than standard vaccines in adults over 50. ➡️ Watch the video and read the full JAMA study: ja.ma/3GODDMb #MedSky

She came here as a toddler, and would have been eligible for DACA if the program was not ended. Now she is in ICE detention because she took a right turn on a red light. Her father is in the same detention center, arrested for a traffic violation two weeks prior. newschannel9.com/news/local/f...

Human artists - use only one piece to convince people to follow you. Oh boy. Now I gotta choose.... This one?

If you can, support Chris. He racked that bill up a dime at a time. He is doing good work!

Might blaze back to social media and talk about the harsh realities of my job. Would you like a lengthy essay on the cognitive dissonance involved in working in children’s disability services? 🤔

Look at this awesome Star Wars quilt! I love the subtlety and the completely unexpected dichotomy of the timeless Ohio star! This concept, the colors, the pattern, the combination is genius.

This painting was such a delight to work on, especially knowing what was awaiting once I'd finished 😋

GM! If you loved #SINNERS and are looking for something to carry you through, may I suggest the Audiobook #OutThereScreaming. The short stories are AMAZING and there is even one from the incomparable @tananarivedue.bsky.social.
