Gyoza Update

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Guess who gets to cross a square off on her 2025 Resolution Bingo because she actually sewed something for herself today? THIS GAL! I've had this fabric for probably fifteen years and now I have a panda-themed lounging set with POCKETS. Hell yeah.

Call to action-Childhood vax/covid boosters (plz boost) RFK has fired ACIP to replace with his antivaxxers; kid vax + covid/flu/RSV boosters are at risk. States can make their own requirements. Use @5calls.org or @resist.bot to call your STATE reps to keep vax access. Script outline below.

If you post pictures from protests on a computer, copy them, paste them into Paint or similar & use brushes or shapes or crop tools to remove the faces. Then copy from Paint and paste into your post. Phone filters can be reversed, paste/copy into dumb programs loses the metadata & can't be reversed.

So it was dry and sunny and COLD AS HELL here for the first two, two and a half weeks of February, which was annoying (I had to have the heat blasting to keep the house comfortable) and great (I can't describe how helpful it was for my mood to have that much sun). Now it's 50 degrees and raining.

I wish all sex workers a very get that bag

Fascist freaks eat shit and die mad in the driveway, this house never answers a cop-knock

One of my biggest peeves is complaints that “nobody’s doing X.” First, you’re probably wrong. Lots of people are doing whatever X is—getting out on the streets, protesting, boycotting, changing consumer habits. Second, if you were right, you could literally do it. Be the first. Be a catalyst.

100% and I need everyone to understand right now that there is only one solution: people need to start getting their asses kicked in public again

well maybe i can jump in since i am an expert on this kind of thing: you clench your butthole

I'm gonna keep reposting examples of people not taking shit because it's important for us to see that you can, simply, reject the shit. Say "Uh... no no no, we will not be tolerating that."

And yet sometimes she comes home and tells me she forgot to drink water all day

Following a loud public outcry about job cuts at the National Parks Service — and a relentless media campaign from outdoors enthusiasts across the country — it looks like the Trump administration has blinked. via @jackdolan.bsky.social

Costco and Trader Joes are yin and yang. Together they form a harmonious balance. One sells big piles of normal food, the other sells small piles of weird food. These are the two food piles people need

Look I know it's a cliché, but call your fucking reps. They don't get scared unless they hear from an overwhelming number of us all the time. Call them every damn day. Tell them to fight the hell back and protect us from Musk and Trump. It matters and it makes a difference, right now. reps.fyi

Went down to visit my mom for a couple of days. Mostly stayed off of the internet. Cried a bit with her about missing Dad. Petted her cat. Everyone say hi to Snugs.

You know the saying about how it libraries didn't already exist, there's no way we would create them now because it would be seen as """socialist"""? Same with the post office. If it goes away, they will never bring it back

Alt: a parody of the yellow Gadsden “don’t tread on me” flag with a truly enormous chonk of a cat in vector silhouette treading on a snake with the eyes rendered as two red X-es, with the caption “oh lawd he treading”

Are you a federal employee, contractor, or other worker in the DC area who's been illegally fired or whose job is in limbo because of Elon Musk? Come to the Senate to meet others in the same boat and share your story with Senate offices. We meet every day at 10am.

The Democrats on the House Science Committee have set up a website to collect stories from fired federal employees, anonymously if desired democrats-science.house.gov/sciencefirings

Every win is a good one.

Ominous Chicken Shadow O'Clock is my favorite time of day

If you're still on Substack and wondering where to move to, check out this thread and consider Ghost.

Seattle came out in force today to support federal workers and fight back against the coup! Yes, it rained on us! Did we care? NO!!! We're from Washington, baby!!! We all wore our Outdoor Research and Columbia jackets and protested anyway!!!

so far going anti-woke leads to less money and planes falling out of the sky

A friend just learn binding and look what she did for my birthday : she offered me one of my favorite The untamed fanfiction "Stray cat strut", by @scarlettohairdye.bsky.social archiveofourown.org/works/574054... I'm so over the moon! That's one of the best gift I ever had ! 🥰 (Go read it !)

to all who celebrate

State AGs are looking for federal workers who have just been illegally fired to stand as litigants in a new lawsuit trying to freeze further action by DOGE. DM me if that’s you and you’re interested and you’re live in one of the following states: NM, AZ, CA, CT, MD, MI, MN, NV, OR, WA, RI, or VT.

Damn last week I downloaded all my Kindle books specifically so I could be done with Amazon and it looks like that was great timing!

hey for anyone who might want to actually own their kindle books instead of renting them, or who might be thinking of switching to kobo etc and will want to convert them to epubs, you now only have one week before amazon kills your ability to download its ebooks www.theverge.com/news/612898/...

I wish a very “repost all your old art and enjoy the free serotonin” to all the artists moving over here from bird hell site
