Rep. Joanna McClinton@repmcclinton.com · 12h agoAs part of our historic session at Philadelphia’s Congress Hall, these young Pennsylvanians had a chance to open a time capsule from 1976.

Also one of the girl niblings got all heated with me over the phone talking about Thanksgiving. ‘EVERYONE LIED. That’s not what happened AT ALL.’ That’s RIGHT, my girl.
Lady Disdain (she/her)@maggiesox.bsky.social · 3d agoMy baby nephew has learned how to say ‘cookies’ to indicate when he wants me to give my dog a treat over FaceTime, which is adorable enough. When I don’t get to the treats fast enough, he just repeats ‘Cookies!’ with increasing fervor until he becomes the world’s baldest Cookie Monster.

I don’t advocate violence but I wouldn’t mind if someone got some funnel cake powdered sugar in those wigs.
Malcolm Kenyatta is selling ‘Fetterman is a Jagoff’ shirts. 1) Correct. 2) That man is absolutely running and we are all going to vote for him, okay? Okay.
Real talk: my retirement plan is to become the Log Lady.

GOD DAMN IT. What on earth is in the water on TERF island?

Canada, I did not realize you had a big molasses export industry. *Still* had a big molasses export industry, I guess.

Oddest but best: I worked for 4-FACT in college. Intended as a # you could call for building hours, cafeteria specials, etc. it ACTUALLY became “Call this number. Ask them anything. They HAVE to find an answer.”
SarahJSloat@sjane.bsky.social · 5d agoHappy labor day (USA). What's one of the oddest paid job you've had? Mine was probably as a reader for a medical professor at Rutgers, whose eyes were failing. I read him many academic texts, as well as Samuel Butler's "The Way of All Flesh."
My husband has just suggested that we watch The Muppet Show this week and I told you he was a genius.
