Perhaps the college kids are part of the "ten million moms"? Perhaps there's more direct motivation to interfere with active operations in your city? Perhaps the crackdowns by authorities are actually preventing protests from reaching newsworthy scale by disrupting organization and leadership?

some beauty in the midst of a world filled with too much ugliness. may we make it less so.
There's actually a security issue with the legacy format cards (that'sbeen mostly fixed). The short ID and the 3 digit security code are pretty easy to guess or brute force.

That said they can pry my blue card out of my hand when hell freezes or they link up Tacoma.

Discovered today that my hair is long enough again for a sloppy pencil bun to both keep my neck clear and restrain my bangs
We're not entirely doomed, I guess

A female Allen’s hummingbird doings little maintenance on her nest, putting a small piece of lichen into just the right spot
She put a lot of work into the decor and hopes you like it! I checked on her this morning and from her behavior I’d say she definitely has some eggs in there 🐣

Today's patch: "rock collections do not go on the trampoline"
Rapid and overwhelming vindication on this
Imagining the kind of screenshot quote reply sniping that will be rampant when third order discourse prompts the bluesky intellectuals to reflexively defend heinous shit in the name of nuance and exacting historical accuracy
Endless screaming
This is going to be messy and ugly and just very very tiring
But just the timing of this is so sus that you know the narrative isn't going to reflect the actual longterm issues with the movement
Can't tell if it'll be worse if the usual suspects lean into their reflexive racism or start digging up his stances on immigration and so on
ha oh man César Chávez discourse is going to be so bad for so many reasons
I'm fully prepared to believe any allegations that come out of this. His canonization means that most people who are unfamiliar with the history of the UFW have no idea how controversial he's always been

Screenshot of NPR article, headline "A race for a safe blue seat tests how far left Democrats want new leaders to go" Below is a picture of Kat Abughazaleh to the left of a picture of Daniel Biss. The image caption states "At right, Kat [...] and at left, David [...]"

> The orders “are like the scales in music or like characters in a play,” said Semes, comparing the “muscular” Doric column to a soldier, the “dignified” Ionic columns to a mature woman and the “showy” Corinthian column to a younger maiden.

Weird how warships just sink and strikes just happen sometimes.
My latest! In this month's cover story for the @texasobserver.org, I wrote an expansive, oddly philosophical deep dive into the western diamonback rattlesnake, a much-maligned animal I've come to have a lot of respect and affection for
Think this might be the bleakest NPR story I've read in a few months somehow?
Time to close the internet for a day or so.

Like have we not been using Targét with the implied pseudo-french pretentiousness, or???
It was already a deeply embarrassing habit, but this spelling somehow makes it much worse
1) lmfao
2) is "Tarzhay" from CNN or did they get that spelling from actual Target copy somehow because what

Parenting pro tip:
Do not negotiate a no bath night (I took a bath yesterday! I don't have school tomorrow!) with the 4 year old if there is the slightest chance there will be paint before bed time.
And sometimes the clickbait viral discourse headline is relevant even if it pains me
Was nodding along to all the points I knew already and realized a few paragraphs in that, yeah, this deserved a detailed profile to recenter the discussion. The film is a very rich text and the production of it as an entire story in itself, and this is a great entry point for both.
Went into this article baffled by the framing. I'd seen the BAFTA nonsense largely discussed separately from the movie. Of course Sinners is bigger than this weird little blip at an awards show?
Obviously I'm not the target audience for the article!

Yeah I’m looking for my dog (girlfriend who has a restraining order against me and she has a dog) and here’s the picture of the dog (she walks this dog and I can use it to figure out her schedule) thanks for sending all footage my way
