“I wonder if there are any blackberries yet.” There were. These are the ones I could pick without stretching. Deer and groundhogs will enjoy the rest.

If you are a lawyer barred in Minnesota, I will personally sponsor your admission to the District Minnesota (you need one other person as well) and teach you how to do habeas cases. It's going to be all hands on deck.

V. v. grateful to all the dudes who each left 10+ paragraphs of enthusiastic praise for the weird lit book i was considering Gentlemen, your enthusiasm has thoroughly dissuaded me, thank you for your service, may we never be on the same page

Check out this cool spider. Its species is sexually dimorphic (males and females look different) but this particularly specimen is gynandromorphic, split half male and half female down the middle. Weirdly, the female side got five of the legs and the male got three

i missed the feeling of being among family so last night i fell asleep with Hereditary playing and hoo boy that did the trick

Good framing.

Correct, the point isn’t to make them feel shame. The point is to reinforce the group norms.

Betsy Humphrey@betsyvt.bsky.social · 6d ago

They may be shameless, but shunning, booing and not accepting them into public spaces is the correct response.

Just your regular reminder that: 1) Almost everyone has an underlying health issue if you look hard enough 2) People with underlying health issues don't deserve to die for eating lettuce 3) We should be strengthening, not weakening our regulatory processes. And properly funding them.

The New York Times@nytimes.com · 7d ago

Breaking News: Two deaths in Michigan have been linked to cyclospora. Both people who had the parasite also had underlying health issues.

We’re also funding death squads but what’s really offensive is that somewhere out there a poor person might be able to eat

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

I've mentioned in the past that I sponsored a local female race car driver and put pro-library messages on the car. They did a "pit party" where kids could come through, see the cars, etc. Andrea got book stickers made so all the kids could sign her car. Truly some of my best library outreach work.

White people y'all ready to not be cool with other white people? Because that's what it really takes. You have to accept that when you get woke you don't fit into that world of ignorance as well anymore. That discomfort you've chosen is you risk you took on. Bucking against the norm is unpopular.

On the ballot in Washington: "State sanctioned sexual assault, yes / no?"

Gillian Branstetter@gbbranstetter.bsky.social · 7d ago

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

Just remember, if they could pay you less they absolutely would

why do you all keep circulating the video of the tim robinson senatorial domestic abuse character

certainly this, and also i wouldn't wanna undersell the fact that the first time a lot of people DID emerge from the isolation of covid restrictions was to engage in mass protest that summer

Dave Andress@davidandress.bsky.social · last wk.

Covid lockdowns demonstrated, in a deeply imperfect way, the possibility of large-scale social solidarity for a higher cause. That is a prime reason why so many powerful people want us to run screaming away from them into the comforting arms of selfish individualist competition.

You will be shocked, shocked, to hear that the white supremacist feces-lettuce company uses forced penal labor.

Frankie Huang 黄碧赤@ourobororoboruo.bsky.social · last wk.

I am making it a habit to always look for the labor story behind these nasty scandals. The consumers are almost never the only ones being harmed.

this ROCKS lmao just throwing it out there but would anyone wanna do something similar in chicago with Kapow after primaries maybe 👀

The DSA in Wilmingotn, N.C. has created a "crisis" by putting benches at city bus stops, after literal decades of the city promising and failing to do so.

I just ordered materials for a silly project I’ve been planning since 1985. My closest friends were good sports when I wouldn’t shut up about it for 20+ years. It’s been a long walk from 1985 to here. Every one of those friends has died. There’s only me here to celebrate. Make your silly stuff 💜

Why would a woman try to appease a scary man whom she is legally bound to for many years to come, by virtue of a helpless child whom he has access to and could harm in retribution at any time? Why would she offer empanadas to such a man? Truly perplexing.

Things I and friends have done to calm an angry abusive man from further escalating and killing us or our children: -Smiled -Kept normal schedules in order not to trigger a fight -Appeased with kind acts (cooking, cleaning, favors) -Forced friendly tones and words

Rep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?"

Some months ago, Spouse vaguely mentioned a short story involving an island and a snail. My head shot up and I blurted out, unintended and interrupting, “Blank Claveringi.” Baby’s first Patricia Highsmith story, encountered at maybe 6 or 7. It’s ghastly for an adult, as well.

never thought short form video would be able to capture a type of humor i can only describe as “the far side-esque” but this comes close.

that cunty little stomp when she walks toward me with such purpose, staring me dead in the eye with her mouth set, like this time I mean business. I am going to sit on you forever this time

airbnb I’m staying at unintentionally created the toughest punk album cover of 2027

I agree strongly with this -- in that difficult moment, the possibility of collective effort was conceivable. Not everybody felt it, but many did. I think the political class did not like this one bit.
