One way you know Dolly Parton lived life the right way: I don’t think anyone’s going to get fired for accurately quoting Dolly Parton today.

I am the Gender Studies major your parents warned you about.
it’s always 2 dumb bitches telling eachother "exactlyyyy"
Video of an ICE agent pulling a gun on a wife and mother, who is a US citizen born and raised in the area, near Bailey's Crossroads in Northern Virginia yesterday. Chillingly, they claimed she “almost ran them over” until she told them she had video proving that was a lie.
The purest expression of corporate capture in Congress: With an explosive diarrhea outbreak sweeping the country, Republicans are simultaneously trying to ram through a provision that would repeal hundreds of food safety/animal welfare provisions. Incredible. 📹: @calltoactivism.bsky.social
I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.
the thing that scares the middle and right so much about DSA is that they don't believe in oligarchy. the idea that the richest have not earned the right to govern the rest of us is the thing that makes them furious.

As a millennial, I can’t recall a time in my life where I’ve ever seen so many ridiculous, proud displays of ignorance in so many critical fields where even a basic understanding of how things work just…isn’t there. The people in charge of our survival rn are untethered from reality. Feels untenable
Democratic Senators praising their friend across the aisle Lindsey Graham, pretending Mike Lee doesn’t already have draft tweets for every one of them, calling them all pedo traitors
This is a variation of the "but does he really *mean* what he says" navel-gazing. It ultimately doesn't matter who a public official really is in private or what they secretly believe. It's what they actually do with their power that matters.
Linda Holmes@lindaholmes.bsky.social · last mo.“But I want to tell you what he was like to hang out with in private when there were no stakes” is a very common response to the death of a person who had immense power in situations with high stakes.
The heel turn you’re about to see from the right after a week of justifying the *murder* of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo to condemning people in the left for even talking about Lindsey Graham…
Ebola and other diseases gaining a foothold abroad, widespread skepticism of medical science at home with measles and other preventable diseases making a comeback, and now an epidemic of explosive diarrhea. Going great.
Phil Lewis@phillewis.bsky.social · 2mo agoCDC stopped monitoring parasite now causing explosive diarrhea across the country
if you just put some 70+ year olds in a room there’s at least 10 minute period where they talk routes
@dellennial.bsky.social · 2mo agoThere is nothing the old men in my family enjoy more than recapping the different routes they have ever taken to get anywhere.
(replying) Hey I know this is a joke but do you mind if I turn it into something tedious
the reason dsa candidates are winning is because theyre saying theyll do actual things to make peoples lives better and identifying billionaires as an obstacle to those things, its not super complicated or anything
Imagine if a woman president crashed the economy and started a war with no end in sight, and her biggest, seemingly ONLY concern was building a ballroom and redecorating the White House.
Sick of the relentless adult content I see on Bluesky: back pain, interest rates, tax brackets, that noise you make when you stand-up sometimes.
Are you a Jack Ryan kinda girl or a Mike November kinda girl?
I’ve recently rediscovered my long lost love for reading and Audibles, and not only do I remember how much @laurellkhamilton.bsky.social shaped my teenage self into the badass feminist I am today, I’m 40 y/o and still LOVE the Anita Blake series. ❤️
I want so badly to enjoy the met gala as a display of interpretive art, but since most attendees either can not understand or willfully ignore the gala's theme, I am forced to view it as simply a horror of wealth
“Yeah but WHO is gonna pay it?!?” is a question you never hear people asking about any gov or social benefits they personally receive for themselves. Huh. 🧐
first in my bloodline to see someone get excommunicated by a community note
In a shocking twist, impunity has emboldened a narcissist to descend into full megalomania
I just watched Sliding Doors again for the first time in like 10 years and now I remember why I had such a huge crush on John Hannah in the early aughts. I’m disappointed to report after a few decades of research, men like that don’t appear to actually exist in the wild. 😭
It is the year 2026 AD. Super hackers have gained illicit backdoor access to the AI Claude through the Chipotle support chat.
