I guess my concern is… how long do these teachers have to tell you that these schools are under funded and under resourced Before you believe that they are *checks notes * Under funded and under resourced???

Amtrak didn’t tell us about this exposure, so heads up: if you took an Amtrak train last week through Chicago or anywhere on the Southwest Chief, Coast Starlight, or California Zephyr routes like we did, you may have been exposed to measles! Please let the train people in your life know about this

Re This case: Most media are focusing on their own states, but this was a multi-state trip. The person took the whole route of the Southwest Chief, so Illinois through the midwest, then across S. Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona before LA. Then up the coast, and back across on California Zephyr.

This bears game is too much stress

Making a loaded baked potato soup in the slow cooker but didn’t want to make bacon beforehand. It will be fine

If you cannot run a business that pays your workers a living wage you cannot run a business. That this is a controversial position in modern America is an indictment of our entire economic system, and a profound moral failing on the part of business and political leaders.

I truly, deeply, sincerely do think the guy flipping burgers at McDonalds should be able to afford rent, bills, and groceries with his paycheck alone. That's kind of the whole point of having a job and I can't believe this is considered a radical position.🤷🏽‍♀️

You know what’s an actual existential threat to humanity? Climate change. Weirdly, I don’t see the same people worrying about that. Odd. Wonder why that might be

#Romancelandia! I'm only $109 in the red for my upcoming grumpy sunshine firefighter romance 😄 I'm so close to earning out. Support a Latina author's dreams and preorder my book. I'm going to throw myself the biggest party if I get in the black 🎉

Trans rights is inherently a bodily autonomy issue. Just like abortion rights is. We can't have gender equity or reproductive freedom without trans rights. Full stop. You can yell at me and make up shit that you claim I've said if it makes you feel better. I don't care. I'm right. And you know it.

That's gonna be an lol from me dawg.

Ed Sheeran’s tour of North and South America was plunged into chaos Tuesday when four of his supporting acts — including his touring band — abruptly quit in solidarity with the rapper Macklemore, who was dropped for making pro-Palestinian comments onstage.

Once again, so many books. Immediately gonna start Grim Tidings. I got the indie edition and it’s so pretty

Pissed as hell because something was delivered to the house with my kid’s name on it, no info on who sent it. And it’s part of a subscription box that we were not aware of!

iOS 27 is soooo boring. Get this Ai stuff out, I don’t want it. I saw no talk of the OS, just the Duo, which is a hard pass for me. It’s all so boring and I want technology to actually be exciting again

literally all you have to do is give people equal rights are you a person? equal rights this is not complicated every attempt to make it so is an attempt to restrict rights based on arbitrary criteria

One of the more insidious phrasings I've seen with the Dems/trans rights discourse lately is the idea that trans people are being greedy and demanding a "maximalist" approach to trans rights. No, you cannot call the state of rights American trans people had as recently as 2023 "maximalist," sorry.

Oh hi 💓 Reminder: 💓 you’re important 💓 you’re worthy 💓 you’re enough 💓 you deserve good things 💓 i love you

24 hours ago, we weren’t planning on hosting for the first Bears game. And now I’m throwing together a Costco and grocery list for pulled pork, coleslaw, pasta salad, and possibly some dessert as well as meal planning for the week.

UPDATE: United is canceling its 9/11 flyover in Denver, citing "concerns in the community"

I know it's where we're at in 2026 and we all know it, but it bears stating the obvious that every major company in the world is openly throwing a tantrum that people expect them to provide goods and services instead of just sending them a payment of $200 every month for nothing

I keep swapping action buttons when I switch between Palia and Pokopia but I don’t know which one to switch the button mapping on and if it would help

I'm now only 3 preorders away from hitting my record goal and discovering what this mystery gift is. Are there any readers looking for a grumpy sunshine firefighter romance 👀 You can make my dreams come true!

#ROMANCELANDIA My husband says that when I hit 50 preorders he's going to give me a special gift 🤩 I'm dying to know what it is!!! And I'm only 6 away from hitting it. Grab my upcoming grumpy sunshine firefighter romance and help me get my special surprise 🥰 I've never hit 50 pre-orders before

I love seeing your kids’ first day of school pics! All of them are beautiful! But saying this with my cybersecurity professional hat on: you probably shouldn’t be posting pictures of your kids. I’m sorry :(

Eeeek! Thanks @janineamesta.bsky.social for the ARC and the stunning graphics to go with it. Straight to the top of the reading list, it goes!

pay living wages for all workers. tax the shit out of billionaires. happy labor day.

My oven is still broken and I want to make a bread. Dare I see if I can make something in the countertop grill/air fryer thing?

Three from my own shelf, 1 in physical and 2 were in my backlog, so I’d say it was a pretty good month.

I wasn’t warned about toddler peer pressure because I was just forced to go on a slide made of horizontal rollers and my life flashed before my eyes, i was going so fast

It is illegal for Trump to print money with his face on it. It is illegal *and unconstitutional* for the USPS to decide who gets mail, including mail ballots. These are not 'critics say'. These are objective facts. News organizations need to say so. Their JOB is to state facts.

it is so depressing to see how much money is going into ICE and the new ballroom instead of public transportation, scientific research, education, public health, and food safety

“Having fun isn’t hard, when you’ve got a library card!” - Arthur Read Today is a great day to get a library card. Happy library card sign-up month ✨🥳

America has failed to educate its citizenry about *why* govt agencies exist, so we reached a point where many ppl convinced themselves those agencies weren’t necessary BECAUSE the agencies were doing their jobs. Now key agencies have been gutted & those ppl wanna know “whose job is this?”
