A cat-loving lesbian knitter and gardener with a PhD. A walking stereotype. Except I'm not.
Me yesterday watching ep 7 of #GameofWool: "WhyTF are they having contestants make red carpet dresses out of Aran sweaters?"
Me today: Oh. OK. But still.

It hasn't even been twelve hours, but all three of us have been overwhelmed with requests from media for comment and I'm mostly writing this now so they'll leave me alone.
this is such a painful loss. my heart is broken.

I’ve been working on an article on the general bullshittiness of generational “theory,” but maybe now I need to reconsider.
Maybe generational divides are real

I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

"Our culture is built to eternally forgive men, generally, and white men of means, especially, for their mistakes."
[GIFT LINK] Lots of folks are sharing this incisive commentary from @tressiemcphd.bsky.social on the Nazi tattoo candidate and the Democrats' insistence that we have to tolerate a smidge of racism to appeal to the working class.

She, of course takes, that apart.

I feel like I want to repost this every day.
The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

A man was arrested for playing Darth Vader's theme music, "The Imperial March," behind National Guard troops walking through Logan Circle.

Now the ACLU is suing on his behalf. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Has anyone ever been able to talk with someone in Ohio Senator Jon Husted's office? I've had 10 months of daily busy signals. I'm beginning to suspect that #Ohio really only has one senator.

Ruth’s claim that #CelebrityTraitors contestants are put up at the Courtyard by Marriott at the Inverness Airport has launched a thousand skits in our house of Stephen and Celia at the breakfast buffet, Alan in the swimming pool, Mark earnestly emoting at the vending machines…..

Maybe a reporter should ask Mike Johnson what he IS aware of and we can start there.

Donald Trump….literally shitting on the American flag.
I guess if I *had* to pick my favorite part of the video the president posted where he’s a big boy pilot and he pew pew pews his poop all over everyone, it would be the part where he shits on the American flag?

This. Exactly this.
Did you tear-up today when you were out protesting because you felt the camaraderie and fellowship with so many like-minded and caring people?

I did.

Did you tear-up today when you were protesting because you're still processing the fact that we're rapidly tumbling toward authoritarianism?

I did.

In John 6:15, Jesus miraculously feeds 5,000 people and the crowd's so impressed they try to seize Jesus and make him their "king," by force.

But Jesus "withdrew again to a mountain by himself" to avoid their attempt, bc he was not about earthly power.

Jesus = "No Kings."
