I really think someone confused making libs mad for MadLibs at some point, and here we are...

Worked 12 nights in a row, planned to get a lot done this weekend. Currently on my third hour of feet up on the couch, watching sitcom reruns. Outlook of productivity not so good. No regrets.

Iowa's three public state universities operate under the oversight of the Board of Regents. Kim Reynolds appoints them. So, yeah. www.iowaregents.edu/media/cms/02...

This is now a Janet Mills fan account

Old Shake and Bake ad, but Trump saying he fucked over the country. Then Elon proudly saying, "And I helped!" Someone make this graphic, pls

NEW: Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared. ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

Night 11 of 12 consecutive, and my brain has stopped braining.

I don't know the sign language lady's life, but I nominate her for political office. Love her facial expressions.

“After we’ve discriminated against, deported, or disparaged all the immigrants, the gay and lesbian and transgender people, the developmentally disabled, the women, and minorities. Once we’ve ostracized our neighbors and betrayed our friends… what comes next?” - Gov. JB Pritzker

I would argue that it is not very efficient to randomly fire people when you do not even know what they do, then panic when you realize they are actually important, and then try to hire them back. But hey, I'm just some dummy who didn't vote for any of these dipshits. Oh, wait, nobody voted for Musk

I wonder if people who hate people know there are jobs with very little public interaction

Half-deaf coworker on personal call at top of his lungs waking up all the patients. Fun little 430 am

i tell this story every time these old photos come up but: I remember in film school one of my classmates asked what about film chemistry in the 1970s caused everything shot in NYC to look so brown and grimy and our professor was like "that wasn't the film, that's just what the air looked like here"

For a second, I read "more feeds" as "more feels" and thanks but no thanks.

What is truly disheartening about Trumpism is that all those people waving the flag and talking about freedom are just...giving it away. Just because they are getting some of the things they want, they are willing to flush the rest of their alleged values down the drain, and they refuse to see it.

Working in the hidden bowels of behavioral health tonight, thinking I can wear this shirt without anyone "important" seeing me, and the director of nursing shows up. 🤷‍♀️

RIP, Phill. You deserved better 😞 www.kcci.com/article/belo...

Immature and pedestrian? You betcha. Makes me feel a tiny bit better? As tiny as his bit, but yes.

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

We truly are doomed

Mind boggling that these Methuselahs in the Senate could confirm an anti-vaxxer after they lived through polio

Can't stop, won't stop using my mug press

It's #DarwinDay, the year 2025. And (sad to say) this insight from the 1870s is more relevant than ever.

RIP, Virginia McCaskey, one of the kindest, most loving, & thoughtful individuals I've ever had the privilege to meet. You always welcomed my family into yours with open arms. Our hearts are heavy, & our thoughts & prayers are with the entire McCaskey family during this difficult time. 🙏🏽

I realize there are much bigger problems, but seeing Santorini, Greece being referred to as "Instagram Island" makes me very stabby.
