In traffic behind what appears to be a pale pink cybertruck. I am so confused about the semiotics on display here.

Don’t fly into my ear or head if you’re a moth or any bug. Don’t do that around my head.

If Katelyn Ohashi & Shilese Jones win Olympic medals in LA, I will never ask for anything ever again except for an end to fascism & health for my family.

I just saw a meme that said “get in losers, we’re reclaiming the emdash”. People. PEOPLE. Where are your STANDARDS? It CLEARLY should be “get in, losers — we’re reclaiming the em dash.”

When guys are like “that’s not rape, all my friends have done that,” that’s exactly what we’re talking about. That’s the problem. Rape is so common and unpunished that a guy could casually reveal all his friends are rapists and not see it as a problem.

Need to be super clear to folks that there is a growing class of “progressive” political consultants with elite backgrounds that are cashing in on antiestablishment sentiment amongst voters, and their payday isn’t at all about your concerns. slate.com/news-and-pol...

How Did We Get Graham Platner, Anyway? The Answer Is the Problem.

Democrats need to learn this lesson.

One of my hardest-won political lessons is that it’s never, ever worth it to treat ppl as ~indispensable no matter what they do~ —bc we *see* the contributions & potential of the abusive men & we don’t get to see that in the women they drive out. We never actually get to know what we’ve squandered

this dynamic described by jenny racicot is, as i understand it, very common among progressive women in maine. they’ve been put in an impossible position and feel like they’re tanking platner’s campaign when in reality he did that on his own by being a violent and reckless person.

I know they literally play “Wonderwall”, but when England scores I hear, “We’re Richmond Till We Die” in my head.

Climate change is bad but then again thousands of MAGA hats are being forced to evacuate their Nuremberg.

If my BlueSky experience is an echo chamber, at least it's an echo chamber that says "Change is possible," "This is how we win," and "Look at my cat."

May we rage when we must and rest when we can. May we build the peace that we so desperately need. May we turn our hands, in all things, to the justice that peace requires. The only liberation is a shared liberation. May we have courage sufficient to build it. Shabbat shalom ❤️

The only problem with reading the new Murderbot book is being done with it and having no new Murderbot to read.

What a loss! I was literally just reading about her last night. This is truly sad.

Let me tell you, losing your soulmate is crushing. If it happens to anyone in your circle, visit them, call them…a lot. And keep calling. RIP Marjane Satrapi

I am not a religious person by any means, but if I saw this in person I'd assume the gods are speaking to me directly

Love today's @marisakabas.bsky.social on AI hate (good for the body, good for the soul, good for the culture).

Hating AI is good, actually

LinkedIn may be awash with boosters, but shunning AI is the human choice.

Sending love and hugs to everyone for whom today is ..difficult, itchy, complicated. From parents we miss and mourn, to parents who weren't who we needed, from children we were unable to have, to those we struggled deeply with. All the love, forgiveness, and gentleness you need on this day.

As a lover of both Star Wars and mid-century jazz, I have room for both this May 4.

Reminder!

You know you listen to too many podcast when you try to rewind the radio to catch something you missed.

You acting humorless and miserable does not actually make the authoritarians go away

After this administration, I will never experience imposter syndrome again.

Holy shit, y’all.

According to Retired CIA analyst, Larry Johnson said that it has been reported that, at a White House meeting on Saturday "Trump wanted to... use the nuclear codes and General Dan Caine stood up and said 'No'.” apple.news/AvFkmxToeS9K...

Can't talk. Adding Jamie Farr to the list of "What if Columbo could regenerate like Doctor Who"

How it feels doing literally any task right now.

My kid: “I think if Benjamin Sisco yelled at me I would just cry on the spot. It would become embarrassing for him”.

No Kings but Kohei.

how about let's *not* compromise on trans people in sports, and instead compromise on nothing. you can't compromise on liberation. anyone trying to say that we 'need' to is a coward, plain and simple

However much we love Emma Thompson, it's not enough.

Getting ready to fly with an elderly parent this week and feeling reeeaaally nervous about TSA delays and airport chaos.
