Yep a good way to think of it is the country collectively looking at the bill due around housing and environmental reparations and addressing racist policing and education policies and deciding to say nuts to all that and demanding it’s not mentioned anymore.

Also that if we made a list of the top 50 things we would need to do institutionally to eliminate the casual white supremacy of American systems, there is absolutely no appetite for doing those things within the mainstream Democratic Party or among the overwhelming majority of its white voters.

man caught live on stage thinkin about feet

some day I will learn my lesson and carry my cash card in a handy pocket-like object, like a wallet. Today is not that day,

love too see my congressman get passionate about something other than mines and cops: FEET

😳 Rep. Pete Stauber indicates there's something gravely wrong with Tom Emmer's health: "You have no idea what Congressman Emmer is dealing with right now. If you did, you would've never made that comment. He's fighting for his damn life today!"

Our neighbor across the creek put up bluebird houses this spring and now I can hear bluebirds singing here in the burn zone 🥹

I was never on myspace so when any of you post that pic of Tom I think it’s a photo of an extremely charismatic serial killer

Every summer I pick a historic event to read about and this summer's topic came a little late because of *gestures* but I am pleased to announce that I am now ALL IN on THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG.

Yeah I get tired of the circular discussion when ppl who were forced to work through it and ended up disabled more because of it, just get abandoned "to the wayside" anyway.

Appropriate air quotes because the most infuriating part about Americans debating "lockdown" is that it simply never happened. Having to pick up your Applebees and eat it on the sectional does not count. There wasn't even a brief moment where "everything" was closed. That's not real.

Went on a journey at the gym when a man who looked EXACTLY like Jackson Lamb had the audacity to approach me on the bench press & ask me a question when I had earbuds in but the question was simply "how many sets do you have left" so I answered him & he said "great thanks, I'm short on benches" and

You're right. I just encountered that response when I posted about the harm to all players from being challenged on the "authenticity" of their gender. I was told "the school will have it on file" And I realized they don't care about harming kids, ANY kids. They just want their bigotry authorized.

hey all, a friend is looking to raise money for an abortion and travel. goal is $500 all in ca/v: JeHyeonSim please put 🌸 in the memo, pic for attention

let's just not do the cruel and exclusionary thing how about!

This is the correct response but unfortunately what I see much more often is "let's find a better way to do this cruel and exclusionary thing. Maybe a doctor's note???"

Can't think of a thing that will radicalize a generation faster than "you've gotta let that old man in the corner over there see what's inside those pants before you play Kindergarten volleyball."

I showed this video to my eight-year-old and his first question after it was over (after a whole bunch of no's while it was playing) was, "Who made this?" He GASPED when I said PBS.

I called WNET in NY to ask them to remove this video. I told them it was damaging to kids. You can call them, too! Call 212-560-1313 and press 2 to leave a message (the phone prompt seems to indicate 1, but that message directs you to 2). ny.pbslearningmedia.org/resource/ruf...

25 years ago I was watching Sesame Street with my kid & during Elmo's World, Elmo was learning about something & said, "Where can we go to learn MORE?" The answer was "the TV" & I was so mad I blogged about it on blogspot dot com. Seems quaint now. This video is a crime against children's hearts.

o to be a hornet gliding on the surface tension of water

Sue@cameratrapsue.bsky.social · 4d ago

The art of surface tension gliding perfected. This time of year they've learnt how to glide on the water, interesting to see it tap the water with its antennae before taking off. I've seen this a lot. I'm guessing it's to check surface adhesion so it can break free from the water safely.

good news from both kids today? in this economy?? 🥲
