The courts will not save us.
Institutions will not save us.
Only we can save us.

Thank you, this! I think people feel uncomfortable without the expected feedback (nods, facial expressions) and therefore latch onto the interpreter, but it's still a faux pas. I have ways to deal with it (gestures, not looking up from notes) but those aren't easy options in sports interpreting.

Omg 😂

In scorekeeper the time is 0:09 😆

A friend texted me in shock so I had to come here to see!

I didn't know the history of the Battle Hymn of the Republic, nor this verse (emphasis mine):

"In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me.
As He died to make men holy, **let us die to make men free**,
While God is marching on.”

This breaks my heart. They are determined not only to forget past atrocities, but commit them anew.

The app could remember where I left off I would be all set. Alas.

And it's on my way home from work! Bwahaha 😁

Just boosting this because 1) it is beautiful but 2) yes please, @romancingthevote.bsky.social may have started in the romance community but we welcome anyone who wants to raise money to fight voter suppression (tho donors must be US citizens to avoid election crimes. everyone can bid tho!)

This is one of my favorite songs ever. The movie it's from is super interesting, too, and David Bowie is in it!

This! I learn great words and phrases from my Indian patients, especially. Like you know how you get a new pair of flats and they rub your feet wrong, leaving red marks? Those are "shoe bites"! Too perfect.

An evening update for my new friends on the skyline... While our auction is called Romancing the Vote & it is primarily organized by romance authors/readers, we are all multi-genre voracious book nerds & in the past two auctions, our genre pals have donated AMAZING stuff!

If cartoon animals are okay, there's always Animal Crossing. The nearest comp is probably Stardew Valley for atmosphere and vibe but with real time days, all kinds of item customization (if it pleases, not required), and even more seasonality.

I had one pre-panini and it was lovely. Been holding myself over on Postcrossing since then.

The number of times people have screamed at me for pointing this out... lol

She'd been on the bestseller lists more weeks than some of us have been *alive*

Well deserved!!

I immediately thought of your son when I saw this ruling 💔

I'm savoring it!

Ugh, I hate it when this kind of stuff happens. You can go through your watch history and erase the video/s that set it off, it adjusts pretty much instantly.

psst. follow. prepare. once I turn in this book that's due, I WILL be starting my long range organizing.

and we have an ACTUAL spreadsheet goddess this year. :D look out world

Eeeep, so true! 😨
