I cannot believe that this something that deserves celebration, but I'll celebrate it anyway.

It's like a cold. I didn't know I had to appreciate the Strait of Hormuz being open until it closed.
Mini Modu @MinModulation X.com the strait was open when the american military was woke and gay Ironic.
I’m stealing bangers today
The designated hitter is silly, pitchers should hit.

Me: The Artemis II mission is doing an amazing job of reminding me about what's important in this lifetime, and not to waste so much of my energy suffering over little stuff that really isn't very consequential in the end.
Also me: This fucking bullpen
Our mural on native plants and pollinators at H. A. brown elementary school in Kensington starts today!
We’re still shy of our fundraising goal, so if anyone would be down to support educational art in an underserved area of Philly, I would really appreciate it!

Birthright Citizenship in danger
whether war, vaccines, or critical infrastructure there is contingent of the right that seems to believe that their security from the worst things that happen is some kind of metaphysical principle rather than the result of specific historical processes that could've gone otherwise and still could

I am you and my husband also was raised by wolves. No hats at the table!
I feel like casting Fred Savage would have made this a very different movie
It’s got to be at least somewhat distracting
"The President of the United States was just up at 3 o'clock in the morning reposting memes of himself as The Lion King" is, itself, an absolutely insane sentence that in any other time in history would have prompted discussions of the 25th Amendment.
It’s almost as if he thinks everyone should get measles 🙃
The sumos are great this year!
Just finished the Night Watchman which is def in the historical fiction/magical realism realm, a little slow to start but really excellent
I wonder how many people need to get killed in the street by masked agents of the state before conservatives stop pretending that they’re being oppressed by the existence of HR departments bsky.app/profile/shar...
Listening to the video, there are so many kids in that crowd, it’s heartbreaking
Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

"Please get the truth out about our son."
The official policy of the government of the United States of America is that they will murder anyone they want, that they will tell any lie necessary to justify that murder, and that no one who resists them has any rights they are bound to respect.

Our grocery store was out of mushrooms, potatoes, and yogurt but everything else was fully stocked?
Went to see the Titanic a few more times
they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
Candy sticks
The way my mother loved candy cigarettes. They have since rebranded them as “candy sticks”
So for months they have tried to blame the entire fentanyl crisis on Venezuela and the indictment only mentions cocaine, which they pardoned a different guy for weeks ago
I don't know how to explain that you should care about your community. No child should get liver disease if we can prevent it. Autism and ADHD are genetic disorders. Have a good night, enjoy arguing with the void.
The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service
