I handed letters out to my neighbors asking them these very questions the other day. Good to know I was on the right track

"“No government — regardless of which party is in power — should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue,” said Alan Garber, Harvard’s president, in a statement to the university" www.nytimes.com/2025/04/14/u...

I'm not saying journalists should never interview admitted propagandists. There are journalistic reasons to do so. But if we do, we must be prepared to -- in fact it is our duty to -- challenge vociferously all unsubstantiated claims. Otherwise, we ourselves become propagandists.

I repost as I am 3 episodes into ER thanks to this show

Good morning Bluesky !

Friendly reminder to go be bad at something today. Be that person at yoga that people pity and scoff at. You got this! ⭐

Lori Beth Denberg reprised her All That librarian character to do a pro-library, anti-book banning reel and I love it so much??? www.instagram.com/reel/DIK0_bD...

People will always say they’re your friend and they support you no matter what but then they’ll say some toxic shit to you like “you have to let go of the cursed amulet, it’s changing who you are” and “don’t let its power corrupt you” all because they want the amulet for themselves

it’s the 110th anniversary of Billie Holiday’s birth: April 7 1915. in Episode 28 of my Black Girl Songbook #podcast, i celebrate the influence of Holiday’s music as it shows up in artists like Jill Scott, Erykah Badu, Diana Ross, and more. listen in www.theringer.com/podcasts/bla...

So, it's okay for a cat to run away and hide under the bed when visitors come, but, when I do it, it's "rude" and "antisocial."

Don’t allow anyone to tell you that there’s “no demand” for a career as the eccentric caretaker of an ominous greenhouse on the grounds of a mysterious manor in the Scottish countryside.

Marco Rubio just made the argument, bold faced, not a mistake an intentional statement, that at any time the US can revoke your visa and then you are instantly here illegally and they can arrest you, deport you, torture you, all without any due process. That means the United States is simply unsafe

It’s “staring at the little pots of dirt every 15 minutes looking for sprouts I know won’t arrive for another week” season

droplets are my favorite thing to draw

Okay so not February but here are the last 4 pieces for The Woods at Blight's Hollow

For some reason I read the cats name as Noooo! Noooo! And that seemed a great name for a little menace. Then I realized it's likely nunu and not pleading screams

I still get asked why I don't like to go out and it's like look, if you can find another place that has my pets, my favorite snacks, my person, my couch, my TV, my books, my own personal bathroom, and where I have complete control over the guest list, then I will totally meet you there

In #JapaneseFolklore there is a wish-granting #yokai that resides in dolls and is known as hinnagami. They are created by a complex magical ritual of collecting earth from graves, shaping it into a doll and then leaving it on the roadside to be trampled on by 1000 people. But... #WyrdWednesday

Back in my day, lfg meant looking for group

Many Medicaid recipients do not know they receive it because Medicaid is called different things in different states. The public narrative of Medicaid focuses on a distant other, but 40% of US children and 60% of nursing home residents receive Medicaid. Just SOME of the names by state are below:

My partner is a food groupie so we are currently at a private pizza event

We need more people like Frankie in the world.

In middle and high school I used to make and download different brushes and textures for Paint Shop Pro and Photoshop and now I'm so out of the loop and anxious about playing around with digital art. I used to love people's personal sites with brush packs, maybe I'll dream to do that.

I have a bad habit of looking at a game and assuming I won't like it based on the animation style (book by its cover?). Little Kitty, Big City is so fun and hilarious. 🏙️🐈‍⬛

Al Green after he was THROWN out of chambers: “I was making it clear to the President that he has no mandate to cut Medicaid” "It is the best way to get it across to a person who uses his incivility, who uses his incivility against our civility. " #SOTU

Whilst it may not solve all of the world’s problems, I think we can all agree that having more bakeries, libraries, structures with gargoyles, quaint cafés, museums, Ukraine flags, independent bookstores, and Oxford commas would be an important first step.

I wonder if there are already any tags used for calling out celebrities and larger companies when they do business or exclusives through Amazon, Walmart, etc. If not, we should have one!

Is there a word/psychology for ppl who immediately say no and then later respond with different options? Ex: Them: I'll be in town for x, can we visit? Me: I am open to meeting (under x conditions) Them: maybe next time. (Hours later) What about (different conditions than offered)?

Goodnight.

This morning I am drinking out of my first finished piece from my pottery class. This mug was almost a goner, so it feels special to use. The studio has a 'textures' room and I chose a studded belt and a produce bag that resembled fishnets. I called this mug "Sapphicc". 💛✨

Saw a message that made me spiral. I could tell I was dysregulated and stopped myself from responding while I felt like that. So I made it past the RSD part. Now I have to remember there is a message to respond to, and think of a chill, human response. 🙉
