It’s so fun!

user abbiistabbii: The Germans really cooked making "Hobbyless behaviour" an insult. It is both devastating, applicable to a wide range of people and behaviours, and doesn't resort to swearing. Man ranting on the internet about the Superbowl halftime show or complaining that something is "woke"? Hobbyless Behaviour. Girls mocking another girl for not looking right? Hobbyless Behaviour. Mindless vandalism? Hobbyless Behaviour. It is more powerful than "get a life" or the English "You're Sad" because it gets to the central point of the matter, and that is wonderful. Danke, Deutsch.

I think it’s a collective nostalgic look back to when we were all sort of okay before shit hit the fan.

For the generation that has never licked a stamp, let it be known that back in the day one kid in every friend group owned a globe.

If you’ve made your Senate calls, time to start calling Dem Congressional representatives (both D.C. & local numbers) and telling them not to accept anything the Senate sends down that doesn’t include ACA subsidies.

Personal stories help. Tell them how much caving will cost YOUR family.

Can a slide be Gen X? Because that slide is Gen X.

There are more of us than there are of them.

Literally just said that to my husband watching his speech. He made young people vote. He brought some hope to these bleak times.

Bluesky also feels like old school let’s have fun about it Twitter time like ‘09 right now. 🎉

Cheney was so evil that him dying actually lifted a curse

I know things are bleak and things won’t change overnight, but these Dem wins are very necessary for my brain right now.

Every night I make a To Do list that hinges entirely on me waking up as a completely different person

Such a dang painful journey.

I’m going to win, in the courtroom and on Election Day.

But I need your help to do it: katforillinois.com/legal

It’s that time of year when I recognize I don’t read enough or watch enough TV to get the majority of Halloween costumes.
