I'm no political analyst/expert strategist, but IDK...maybe don't vote/endorse people with Nazi tattoos should be a pretty firm standard regardless of what policies they support 🤷‍♀️ I'm saddened by the latest Planter news (my sympathy here is for the victim(s) NOT him) but I'm in no way shocked.

So if you were around when I first criticized Platner you might remember me and a few other female vets talking about this being a likely reveal. At the time one of his earliest defenders insisted it was our bias. No, it was our experience www.cnbc.com/2026/07/06/g...

Platner Senate campaign taking 'time to reflect' on path forward after sexual assault allegation

Platner and his campaign denied the accusations made by 41-year-old Maine resident Jenny Racicot in a POLITICO article published Monday.

Evening light on African white tea...absolute heaven. Zomba Pearls, from the Satemwa Estate in Malawi, is a hand-rolled, sun-dried white tea that thinks it's an oolong, containing the first three leaves and the bud, bringing out a more vegetal note than you might find in most white teas.

It sounds like an insane lie to say Elon Musk’s literal agenda is to kill as many people of color as possible and that he’s mostly lied his way into hundreds of billions of dollars in net worth, yet here we are

The world's richest man destroying an agency that helped the world's poorest is so disgustingly evil. He is a mass murderer and his victims are some of the world's most vulnerable people. As someone who works for a public health NGO it makes me sick to my stomach every time I see a goddamn tesla now

Yes, I think the enormity of Elon Musk racking up Pol-Pot levels of mass killing is so hideous to contemplate that many people just….aren’t.

Giving this a boost! I've made many tasty book/media themed macarons over the years, but since I don't operate as a bakery there are very few ways to get a hold of my delicious bookish treats! This is a cool auction for a great cause, so be sure to check out the other items available too! #booksky

Two queer women with a 6 year old in school today stopped to film ICE and for their bravery ICE agents murdered one before the other’s eyes. The grief in the survivor’s voice is a knife to the gut. Destroying people and their bonds is what ICE has always done.

NEWS: In a heartbreaking video, after ICE shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis, a woman who was in the same SUV cries out: “They killed my wife. I don’t know what to do." “We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head,” the distraught woman sobs. www.advocate.com/news/minneso...

The moment I realized these were Girl of the Limberlost macarons I started crying. I feel so loved and seen. Also I am blown away by how gorgeous these are! Thank you so much @charlottereads.com @sarasbookmacarons.bsky.social

my Christmas MVP is @sarasbookmacarons.bsky.social, who, with almost no notice, made the most gorgeous batch of macarons for @soundoftheforest.bsky.social. I chose A Girl of the Limberlost for the theme, because it’s the book that inspired Nicole to take up insect preservation. LOOK AT THEM. LOOK

on the left, a copy of Gene Stratton-Porter’s novel “A Girl of the Limberlost.” on the right, a gorgeous, colorful batch of macarons decorated with hand-painted moths, flowers, character names, and Elnora, the protagonist, playing her violin. there are also a few decorated with tiny hand-sculpted mushrooms and moss.
