Go visit your independent local bookstore today! And regularly!

I keep wondering what’s going to finally make people rise up. Are we there yet?

I'm surprised to be saying this, but here's an AI announcement I'm *not* mad about (?!) www.dubsado.com/blog/dubsado... I'm reserving judgment, of course, but CRMs and workflows seems like a task that AI could maybe be suited for...?

Leveling up my judging of people.

Trans Lifeline is a good place to direct resources if you’re looking to help here fuck everyone involved with this decision

It's remarkable that they miscalculated who their consumer base was this badly in order to do this. When we say racism is the most destructive force known to man, here's a clear case where it supersedes the dollar, even for a corporation, whose sole purpose is to make money for its shareholders.

“If I fits, I sits.”

it has never been more crucial for cis lesbians to be loud in support of our trans family. this is a chilling escalation of longtime tactics; attempts at a “feminist” case for transphobia ALWAYS include a disingenuous “nooooo won’t someone think of the poor lil lesbians 🥺🥺🥺” and it is such bullshit

I feel this in my ENTIRE SOUL. (okay, maybe not the webrings) homestarrunner.com/toons/backto...

PDX is going hard with the protest signage

If you've started seeing results in your social media analytics that seem too good to be true, well, that's because Meta is fudging the numbers. Surprising no one. ;p

Not seeing any down sides here, sounds great

Certainly worth repeating in the times we are in..

Buzz escaped the clutches of Sid, only to run afoul of Crocodile Dentist

New season of Black Mirror is out, so it's time to share the tweet:

Bring back *everyone* who was sent from the U.S. to CECOT in El Salvador. *No one* should be sent there. ALL their rights were violated. ALL of them should come home.

Hey, just a quiet reminder: it’s not true that people get more conservative as they age. *Populations* get more conservative as they age because poor and marginalized people die sooner. nymag.com/intelligence...

It costs 0$ to Repost a Black disabled queer small business! It could lead to my next sale. I sell pins, stickers, compression gloves, artist gloves, binders, wrist braces, compression socks, skorts, compression leggings & more! Store details below!

And so perfectly executed 😆

I’m on the couch a lot today because I borked my hamstring trying to do a sports. Streaming decided to remind me that Jeffrey exists. It is very, uh, Of Its Time, but nobody can breezily toss a scarf like Patrick Stewart.

Yes we all need to fight. We also all need to live, to enjoy, to be silly, and to find joy in what we can. We can't afford to lose either end of the equation if at all possible.

Post a movie from the year you turned 18

I’ve said in a few spaces that BSky “isn’t quite ready for big brands yet.” The subtext there is that BSky’s user base actively does not want big brands anywhere near it 😆

Spouse: “…and that lets us pay the mortgage. And you don’t know what a mortgage is.” Kiddo: “I know what a mortgage is!” Spouse: “okay, what is a mortgage?” Kiddo: “…it’s a big robot dinosaur” (if only mortgages were actually that cool)

Found a good post on Tumblr www.tumblr.com/midnight-scr...

I thought I turned off all my stock alerts

Under Fascism, the state makes sweeping changes (sold as an attack on waste, fraud, and abuse) in the name of efficiency…and “the trains will run on time!” Stream my hour-long special “Rick Steves’ The Story of Fascism in Europe” at www.ricksteves.com/fascism.

This is the face of a dork who just officiated her 100th game

This is fire and worth your time to read front-to-back

Here are my Top 10 WORST Dogs!

I can’t protest tomorrow, but does anyone want a poster?

Some tips as someone who loves food, has a bunch of health-related food restrictions, and has been food insecure for ~3 years 1. If you can afford it, a Costco membership is the best possible investment in not starving. $5 rotisserie chicken + bulk frozen vegetables have gotten me through so much.

Got home and did a ramble at The Spouse that ended in, “I’m tired and vaguely grumpy and I don’t wanna talk to anyone. Well, except you, apparently.” I should probably keep this one for a while

Y’all, can we just collectively agree to stop naming things _______landia?
