This is heartbreaking, and beautiful.

I didn’t know she’d retired from racing (willingly or no). I hope she finds fulfillment in this next stage of her life.

May these possums shouting in Werner Herzog's voice bring comfort to your day.

Donate Your Skymiles — Stand With Minnesota Donate your Delta Skymiles to get people home from Texas

Okay! This has already inspired a bunch of DMs, so I made a page on the website. If you have 50,000+ Skymiles and would be willing to book flights to get someone home, please fill this out.

Impressive!

legislators should be staging sit-ins, they should not leave the fucking chambers until there are votes on impeachment. make your colleagues defend this piece of shit on the record. show history what you fucking did in this moment you god damned cowards

I wrote the speech I *wish* Chuck Schumer would give tonight - as an actual opposition leader. Here it is:

"My fellow Americans: At this hour, an unrestrained force of militarized and violent federal officers is carrying out a project of ethnic cleansing in the streets of American cities."

And the trolls! There are giant trolls in the arboretum.

Fantastic move; thank you for caring for your vendors and attendees in tangible ways.

@beamjockey.bsky.social Happy Birthday!

me, learning about all the assholes joining ICE en masse who are never going to see a dime of those $50,000 bonuses they thought they were getting:

Want to Stop ICE? Go After Its Corporate Collaborators. ICE can’t function without help from the private sector. So we should force the private sector to stop helping.

Scholars & organizers stress that the most important thing for pro-democracy movements to do is to peel away a regime’s “pillars of support.”

Breaking companies from ICE is a winnable struggle that can put serious pressure on the Trump regime, raising the political cost of their actions.

The act of deportation requires the person who is expelled to be of a foreign nationality. To be from elsewhere. They didn’t deport a US citizen. Masked criminals illegally detained, kidnapped, & trafficked a US citizen to a foreign country based on the color of their skin.

“Then they shouldn’t have voted for this!”

Bitch, Asheville is a blue college town and the county has gone blue for decades. I am so sick of this “if I pretend disasters only happen to red areas, it means I’m safe because I’m properly on the left!” No. You’re not safe. That’s why we save everybody.

A great example of how the @nytimes.com centers white Americans and Trump supporters in its anecdotal political coverage. You never see stories like this about Black Democrats whose cities are cracked in Republican gerrymandering to give them Republican elected officials.

Woman wearing a darling vintage dress

Cute woven dress I found at a vintage shop a couple months ago.

Honestly it’s the first time I’ve ever lost weight without disordered eating. Intuitive eating just actually works.

Feel pretty good at this shape, and if I go up in weight when I start trying to add muscle it won’t bother me. Love shopping absolutely anywhere and VINTAGE.

I started with one goal weight; when I reached it said, well, why not? And went down another 10lbs. Starting to feel too bony when trying to sleep so stopping here. (130-135, size 6)
I have literally never been at this weight or size since I started weighing.

There Is No Mary Problem in ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ George’s vision of his wife without him is essential to the film, but critics continue to miss its true—and profound—meaning.

This is an almost shockingly wise essay. I'm glad I've finally read it.

I don't think free speech on campus ought to mean that a young coddled bigot gets to use their ignorance to casually destroy the career of a knowledgeable trans person on a random Wednesday

No document will protect you. All they have to do is take it from you and "lose" it; take it from you and say you never gave it to them; claim it's fake ⬇️; make a new rule that you need ANOTHER document. Citizenship is a made-up status that governments decide the rules for. No one is free until all.

The Washington Post v @washingtonpost X.com The Trump administration is trying to root out what it sees as rampant left-wing domestic terrorism, raising concerns among security experts and lawmakers that broad categories of Americans' speech could come under surveillance. wapo.st/3МK2QKH A memo from Attorney General Pam Bondi said these agendas may merit a federal investigation: • "anti-Americanism" - "anti-capitalism" - "anti-Christianity" - "opposition to law and immigration enforcement" - "radical gender ideology" - "hostility towards traditional views on family, religion, and morality"

To add insult to injury today, THIS is the Bondi fascist witch hunt list. More than 1/2 of the country will bear the brunt of her chaotic extreme paranoid nonsense. For what?

For exercising our right to free speech to criticize and petition our government?

Simply put, this IS anti-American.

A dignified orange cat sits in a cozy chair in front of a fireplace decorated for Christmas.

Nuffles quickly adopted the most comfortable chair in the room at the neighbors’ house. (They allowed me to bring all 4 cats over while our house was being shown to a prospective buyer. They are angels.)

If ICE gets to decide against all evidence that your documentation is fake, just because they say so, then there is no law. For anyone, but especially for Black and brown people the Supreme Court has declared are warrantless arrest targets.
