Prioridad ✅: pedir al pueblo que racione agua, mientras aprueba un megaproyecto lujoso que jala mucha agua en una de las zonas más secas del país No Prioridad ❌: arreglar los salideros de las tuberías desgastadas de la AAA donde se pierde el 60% de agua potable que se produce en el país

In 1926, my paternal grandfather was a pharmacist, on his second marriage - to my grandmother who was already pregnant with my dad. My maternal grandparents were children.

Flying standby to ATL today, currently half asleep at the gate while I wait to find out if I make it onto the next plane. Wheeee!
Working on going through boxes from the last two moves - we've been here five years now. Not only did I find my jewelry pliers, I found the box with all my beads!!! And it included an amber earring WIP, which I decided to pair with some shell earrings that used to be part of a necklace of my mom's.
"Do the thing you can do instead of beating yourself up over not doing the thing you're not doing" is honestly life-changing, even life-saving, advice.
Leiracal@leiracal.bsky.social · 12mo agoThis concept was introduced to me as "run the dishwasher twice" and was an important part of my executive functioning recovery as well as my path to self-acceptance.
Ossoff, with purpose and dignity: On day 14 of this conflict… you said Iranians were made combat ineffective and their military destroyed is that an accurate statement?” Hegseth, sweatily and moistened: rambling answer about bombing to win and the many bombs we’ve bombed
"Why am I so tired today?" Evergreen question. I keep hoping that as my body adjusts back to normal post-tamoxifen, the sheer exhaustion I feel 24/7 will go away. I have a lot of things to get done!!! And I need to get a full time job!
This shit with Taylor Farms is exactly what I’m talking about when I say you may say you “don’t do politics,“ but politics are more than happy to do you. The microbes political bribes got out the door and into your intestines don’t particularly care that you find it all beneath you.
It has come to my attention that Denise Oliver-Vélez has passed away. May her memory continue with us. For you, who fought against racism and machismo, and championed with a revolutionary spirit the liberation of Puerto Rico, we are forever indebted. Rest in power 🇵🇷✊
if you did not know that domestic violence incidents- or at least ones where external services get involved- go right the way up with the football/other major sporting events, now you know.
Look I know perfectly well that there is a long long long list of other/bigger problems here, but when do we talk about law enforcement, so-called “force responders,” feeling absolutely no inclination to provide care for people they shoot

Martha-Ann Alito is flying her Stop the Steal flag at half-staff to honor the late Lindsey Graham.
I wish more journalists would point out that Sen. McConnell and Rep. Tom Kean (missed 4 months of work) are/were essentially on paid sick & medical leave. The same employment protection they’ve spent their careers blocking other Americans from having.
I... haven't been posting much on here because so much life. But I'll celebrate some wins by saying that my oncologist has officially discharged me as a patient and I've been NED for five years, and I took the last of my Tamoxifen dose on Saturday, HUZZAH! Five years. Big fucking sigh.
I was a teenager for my Doonesbury collection. For those of us in the Spanish speaking world, there was Mafalda and other Quino comics to introduce us to U-Thant and many other geopolitical issues of the 60s and 70s.

The CDC is “running on fumes” thanks to the loss of 3,200 employees, firefighting numerous epidemiological hotspots such as measles, Ebola, screwworm, and cryptosporidiosis, and low morale. Only 200 employees have been hired since Trump took office.

*tap tap* Sports are inherently political. Always. Having a corrupt POTUS ask a corrupt governing body to break a rule? not an every day thing. But let's not act like sports are devoid of politics. Tax payer money. Gentrification. Affordability. Who gets to play. Who makes our equipment & gear.
hey here's an idea maybe hold men responsible for acts of sexual violence as a matter of course
For July 4, Coretta Scott King's lifelong commitment to global justice, LGBTQ rights, and a robust safety net provides a sharp rebuke to this country today. "I don't believe you can stand for freedom for one group of people and deny it to others.” She was clear."Contempt for poverty is violence."

🚨 HUGE ongoing surge of ICE arrests, with ICE directing 80% of all officers to go out into the field and round people up, aiming to hit 2,000 arrests a day; which would be more than during the Minneapolis surge. This may be why the nun in Texas got briefly picked up. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/01/u...

The ban is heinous for what it does to transgender athletes. But if you think cisgender girls and young women won’t be caught up in the fallout, too, you are woefully ignorant
As someone who has been struggling with this for months, if not years, without the ability to take any time off due to the crumbling economy and empty social safety net he helped create, I am torn between “glad you got the help you need” and “fuck off.”
