Hey, @aclu.org Does this mean that other states can sue to end bans on collective bargaining for government workers and blocks on school districts supporting union activities? Much love from Virginia ♥️

Huge news for Arizona! A judge ruled this anti-union measure unconstitutional, so it won't appear on the November ballot. The GOP-backed proposal would have banned collective bargaining for government workers and blocked school districts from supporting union activities. azmirror.com/2026/07/28/a...

Callous disregard for the harm we knowingly do others is the definition of evil.

I volunteer sometimes at a food bank warehouse, sorting donations from grocery stores. On Monday's shift there were huge boxes of bagged salad, most with the literal Taylor Farms brand name. Dear grocery stores: don't make a charity compost your diarrhea salad! Do it yourself! Thanks!

Genuine question: Can @andybeshearky.bsky.social just walk into the hospital during visiting hours and take Mitch some flowers? Maybe?

We all know this still stinks to high heaven. Gov. Andy Beshear says he still hasn’t received an official update from Sen. Mitch McConnell. “I’ve had no official response. Nothing sent to our office, no letter, no email.”

Standard washing (even with vinegar) does not reliably kill the cyclospora parasite on fresh produce. Cooking is the safest method to prevent infection. Summer soups and grilled vegetables it is, then! www.eatingwell.com/how-to-lower...

15 yo is in Scotland, and I'm working on The Thistle Blanket. I seem to knit an inch per episode. Binge watch recommendations? #knitsky

This might be the best quinoa Tabouli I have ever made. Shout out to the local farmer for: butterhead lettuce, scallions, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, mint, carrots, and parsley. *ChefsKiss

Cycloporiasis just keeps spreading. Wash your vegetables! Tonight we washed our potatoes and then turned them into fries. Delicious.

A cyclosporiasis outbreak has now affected more than 1,700 people and counting. More than two dozen states are investigating cases of the foodborne parasitic infection.

A new White House report accuses current Smithsonian leadership of imposing a “radical, activist ideology” on the museums and refusing to tell “the noble, honest story of the great country we know and love.” Read more about the report here: https://wapo.st/4gjG7BS

Brilliant summer break. Beach week, discovery flight, aquarium, books, pinball, cookouts galore, dolphins, wild horses, downtowning, ghost walk (now with pirates!), fresh-caught seafood, movies, and a restored sense of peaceful easy feeling. Capping it off by sending them to Scotland, and wow.

It's vibes all the way down

In response to the folks who replied to that post about the rising costs of groceries by saying shit like "just cut out chips and candy," I have the following to say: Go fuck yourself. For a more thorough response, see below.

Iran says it is closing Strait of Hormuz, testing fragile agreement with U.S.

As Iran cited Israel’s attacks in Lebanon as the reason it would close the strait again, Pakistan said more talks were planned for Sunday in Switzerland.

Very sad to hear that Anthony Head has died. So many great roles, from the indelible Giles in Buffy to Bleak Expectations and Cabin Pressure to Ted Lasso and everything in between. From all accounts he was a really nice man and a very funny and talented actor. RIP.

Let's start a riot! #RiotWomen is everything I needed ♥️

With prices being what they are, I'm more grateful than ever that I have a simple meal routine. The bean pot is perking along, as it does, and the house smells delicious. White beans are a staple comfort food, and it's the best $1 lunch on the block.
