My sis had to put her good boy down today. 😭 She's traveling, so her husband had to have it done. But not before getting up at 3 a.m. & driving 3 hrs to a new vet to make sure nothing else could be done. I rail against toxic masculinity, but I know a big green flag when I see it. 🥹❤️❤️❤️
In a nutshell. 😊
The swamp is slowly draining itself. Let's hope (and vote) it continues. 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾
If I were you, I wouldn't come.
The entire administration is a grift. They're laughing all the way to the bank while USians do without. 😡
Descendants of enslaved people who were chattled in the US, Indigenous Americans, descendants of interned Japanese Americans, people caught up in the prison industrial complex, hungry school children, abandoned seniors, ICE victims--just to name a few--would like a word. 🤔
The U.S. military struck another boat in the Caribbean, killing three people.
So many times, they killed him for it.
DOES SHE NOT HAVE A NAME??? It's Connie Balmer. 😒
He sure seems unconcerned to me ... 😏
The world may be dying, the planet burning, but the Chief Justice had his feelings hurt so it’s okay if some of us die so he can feel better!
Screenshotted excerpt from linked article reading as follows: "In public, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. has cultivated a reputation for care and caution. The papers reveal a different side of him. At a critical moment for the country and the court, the papers show, he acted as a bulldozer in pushing to stop Mr. Obama’s plan to address the global climate crisis. When colleagues warned the chief justice that he was proposing an unprecedented move, he was dismissive. “I recognize that the posture of this stay request is not typical,” he wrote. But he argued that the Obama plan, which aimed to regulate coal-fired plants, was “the most expensive regulation ever imposed on the power sector,” and too big, costly and consequential for the court not to act immediately."
OOP
New York Times got receipts on John Roberts being like, 'I know this isn't how anything works, but a Democratic president is about to implement a policy!!'

Is it actually there or is this a chalk outline 😏
😂
🤣
Missouri's murder rate is 73% HIGHER than California’s.
No amount of right-wing spinning can change reality: our state is investing in prevention, enforcement, and is holding criminals accountable.
The U.S. Senator from Missouri should fix his own failed policies before lecturing us.
CAP barbell with 25 lb Olympic plates on grey foam gym floor mats, home gym setup.
My newbie strength training update: 3 months of once-weekly lower body progressive overload for body recomp w/ barbell in my home gym. Started off really light to focus on technique. Hip thrust: 36 → 81 lbs; RDL: 43 → 83 lbs;
Sit-to-stand (trying to strengthen knees): 12 → 23 reps. 👏🏾
I have to work today, but I read manuscripts for a living, so this is not a complaint. 🥰
We live our whole lives being told that men are our protectors, that we're not really whole until we're married to one, and yet every day all over the world, our "protectors" abuse and kill us. Every single day. I imagine it was foolish for me to hope that this would end in my lifetime. 😔
900lb crates full of onions in a field
The Coachella music festival is in the news with the minimum price of sold out 3-day ticket costing $549. Contrast that with "Nicolas" who is currently harvesting onions in the Coachella area and getting paid $22 for a $900lb crate. #WeFeedYou #coachella2026
😡
The most openly corrupt administration in our lifetime and they're just allowed to do it. 😫
Anthropic has been scrambling to prevent unauthorised copies of its code circulating online being used to improve rivals' AI models.
That's quite the irony, given its own use of pirated books to train its own early models. I dug into it for @techpolicypress.bsky.social:
I see Kennedy is continuing his racist rants. I guess that's why he's so beloved by this administration. Fits right in.
Right out in the open, Donald Trump is suing his own IRS to try to steal $10 BILLION taxpayer dollars.
I just introduced a bill that would make this theft ILLEGAL.
Me too. I never deleted my account but I no longer post.
Every time I consider wading back onto one of the meta platforms to help me with book promo, I see something like this that reminds me how complicit Meta has been in the ruination of our country and the promotion of racist, anti-DEI, anti-immigrant, patriarchal drivel. 😫
This level of wealth, greed, and corruption is mind boggling. Also, these people are the worst humans. They really do hold us regulars in absolute contempt.
Are they smiling because they feel the spirit or are they laughing at him?
A hit dog will holler
