I’m not sure whether it’s the current moment or the general fact of an empty, uncaring universe, but the so much of the latest issue of @theonion.com is hitting me right.
You deserve more subscribers than the Washington Post, @bencollins.bsky.social.

I’m not a mom, but I’ve noticed that “wine mom” and “Patagonia wearing mom” and “moms pushing strollers” are cited as people who aren’t expected to take political action, or even to hold strong opinions. You all had moms, why do you think so little of her? Because she made you eat veggies? Grow up.

This is so fucked. Minneapolis high school kids deserve the arts. EVERYONE deserves the arts.
Cartoon drawing featuring a woman in bright red bloomers and a men's-style blazer and bow tie riding a bicycle in the foreground, and an old man with a pitchfork losing hat and pitchfork in surprise. Over his head are the words, "What it will come to". At the bottom it says, "Then they WILL be satisfied".

A photo tacked on a black wall. The photo says ‘my love my light’ over an image of a glass of ice tea sitting on a patio table, glowing from the sunlight streaming through it.

I’m inspired!
Very cute frosted cookies, including a pink one with sprinkles and cursive lettering reading “you’re pretty,” llamas, unicorns, snowman faces, blue sweaters with snowflakes, Minnesotas, mittens, and more.
Tell you what I’m OVER: The patronizing framing of feature stories marveling at how moms are throwing down right now for their communities. Come on. They’re constantly doing this emotional labor, planning, and work. It is not a stretch to assume their *skills* can be put to use on a larger scale.
