SIMONE @parasocialyte my family was doing the seder questions ("why is this night different from all other nights") and my dad went "because we have been freed from Pam Bondage" 8:51 PM • 4/2/26
This tweet just received a full-blown guffaw from my dad
Honestly, a cheap nebulizer and saline solution has done WONDERS in our house. One of my kids has long covid so every cold whomps her, and the nebulizer helps get the gunk out.
first they came for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, and I said nothing, but i did laugh quite a lot
Watching professional PE teachers on TikTok explain accomadations they make to ensure good experiences for EVERYONE really shows how important actual knowledge is. (Personal favorite is the laundry basket with bungees that lets kids dribble a ball without having to chase/aim it)
the Epstein files make it very clear why the MeToo backlash was so extreme and why so much of elite society preferred Donald Trump ruling us like a king to the barest hint of accountability
Reminder: you should absolutely start wearing the best mask you can find in public spaces, even if you stopped before. We have no public health at the top level & repeat infections have ravaged immune systems.
If someone gives you a hassle, say "even if it's just a cold, I DON'T WANT THAT EITHER!"
The constant pressure of the entertainment industry to try to diminish joy just means I stop keeping up with the ‘these are what is Good’ and I go with ‘this makes ME Happy.’
If I want to read something that doesn’t depress me, hells yes, I’m gonna grab one off the pile of romance novels. When I was on bedrest, I had a friend drop me off literally SACKS of them because they didn’t raise my blood pressure and made me happy.
If your business model doesn’t work without breaking the law, you’re not in business.
You’re in organized crime.
Please see if there’s a dental school in your area! We’ve been using our local one and it’s the best, because they are motivated to do the best possible job and they don’t set prices. Plus they seem to all do payment plans that are very reasonable.
The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
The pride banners are their printing work, for reference.
Hopland Fabrics! Spoonflower’s quality has gone way down, Hopland did a FABULOUS job on some silk printing I had done recently and it’s a small business.
ME: Now Mom, just remember, there's a lot of disinformation and AI in your social feed and your friends' Facebook.
MOM: I know! My friend sent me this crazy post where someone used AI to make an image of a giant frog fighting Army troops!
ME: ... okay, no, that one's ... goddamit, Portland.
“I use it for brainstorming.” is quickly becoming my most hated pro-AI statement.
YOU TOOK YOUR BRAIN OUT OF THE EQUATION. THAT IS NOT BRAINSTORMING.
We should honestly start with the working assumption that the Trump administration murdered these people and buried them in a mass grave. Then, go from there. Make them prove they're alive. If they are, it should be easy to demonstrate.
I took a trio of tweens and in the car on the way home they informed me this was the best night of their lives. Thank you @harvardbookstore.bsky.social, @rickriordan.bsky.social , and @markdoesstuff.bsky.social !
some people here really do wield the word "zionist" so you can hear both k's
This is the line that Dems need to push. It can't be simply. "Political violence is bad" it MUST be "Political violence is bad and Trump and his ilk are responsible for creating conditions ripe for political violence"
(You are one of the ‘this Tim is good’)
There are seven Tims on my poly flowchart.
Listen, I have a friend who recently told me she’s poly and moving to MA. My FIRST RESPONSE was ‘if you hook up with a guy named Tim I’m gonna need you to text me his last name first so I can give you the rundown on that Tim as your local monogamous friend’
it appears that @bsky.app have suspended the account of @jessiegender because a trans person saying "I wish ill on JK Rowling" is against the rules, so let me say with my loud cis voice that I too wish ill on all perpetrators of hate speech against trans people
reinstate Jessie, this is ridiculous
Well this fucking sucks, and I started to list off the “especially for” list, hit “anyone who cares about their long-term health,” and realized that, “this fucking sucks” will have to do.
Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, it’s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.
if the united states ever has even a hope of recovering we have to destroy the idea of american individualism. "they don't owe you anything" we owe each other everything actually
Your regular reminder that the more often you own your mistakes, the easier it gets.
It is like any muscle-- work it more and it gets stronger.
All people mess up, and sometimes we do so publicly.
It's not the end of the world to acknowledge that we missed the mark; it's how we clean up.
