People love to talk about how awful theater kids are, and they’re not wrong, but let’s be real, debate kids have made this country a lot worse

Rape and abuse and pedophilia and all these things are bad in the abstract but we’re not allowed to say who’s doing it and we’re not allowed to say who was victimized by it. We can’t come up with ways to stop it from happening, either

3M Aura N95s are on sale for $30 per giant box right now, so I bought one to distribute. They went SO fast. Between cost of masks and shipping it only cost me $100 to give 9 individual families and 1 local organization 440 masks. It was not much work and relatively little money and it felt good.

Mildly annoyed that this pumpkin pie recipe calls for tahini drizzled on top (it’s delicious) but the only good tahini I have access to is so runny it’s impossible to “drizzle” artfully and between that and the texture/color it, uh, fully just looks like someone cummed all over this pie.

Just here to politely observe that it does always seem to be the men saying shit like “cheating should be illegal!” who turn out to be chronically cheating on their girlfriends/wives. I have literally not ONCE known a man to say this who wasn’t revealed himself to be a (always unapologetic) cheater.

Catching up on an entire childhood of vaccines when you have needle anxiety and chronic pain sucks, but the nice pharmacist who made sure I got 3 different colored bandaids (blue on other arm not pictured) made it just a little more fun!

One way I have found to mourn someone is to set up a monthly sustaining donation to a mutual aid effort they cared about. If you can join me in honoring Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social with a sustaining donation today, please do. Thank you Alice, and I will not let the bastards grind me down.

My spouse finally promoted at work a couple months ago and it’s been SO fun because his store is a disaster and there’s SO much gossip to discuss every night. 4 managers have quit in 8 weeks, store director was fired today. We’re making popcorn over the flames they’re going down in.

Those of us who are SA survivors are used to the mass shrug in response to even the most overt evidence of horrific behavior. Epstein's crimes and the complicity of many influential figures involved have been known for decades (’05 to be exact). It's never mustered much interest or consequence.

There's a tendency among a certain type of poster to assume everything they hate about politics and the state can be blamed on avarice, and I'm here to tell you it's actually worse than that.
I continue to disagree with this. The goal of mass detention is mass deportations. A private prison company leasing 100 beds to ICE gets paid the same if the beds are filled by 100 people for a year each or 1,000 people for a few days each. They don't earn more with long-term detention.
It's not about deporting them. It's about detaining them indefinitely and enriching Prisons for Profiteers and the grift the Convict in the Oval Office collects per detainee.

One of my favorite things about NYC is that the entire fleet of NYC ferries was named by 2nd graders. I think about this every time my run takes me past the docks.

Anyway, there are people who went to work this morning aboard The Tooth Ferry and the Ocean Queen Rockstar.

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have launched a massive, nationwide strike.

Baristas in 40 cities have walked off the job on the busiest day of Starbucks' year.

Upwards of 12,000 @sbworkersunited.org members could ultimately go on strike as the union escalates.

I couldn’t figure out why my phone’s screen time tracking is showing such a high number even though I’ve never used social media less in my life and LOL it’s because we lost the remote to our bedroom TV and now I have to use the Roku app to control it 🤦🏻‍♀️

I've said it many times before and Andrew Cuomo is making me say it again: we don't have a cancellation problem. We have never had a cancellation problem. To the contrary, we have a problem that "disgrace" is a very temporary embarrassment— an brief entr'acte more than an intermission.

Earnest post: there is increasingly direct evidence that Trump participated in child sex trafficking or at least knew about it.

He should resign, be impeached and removed from office, and prosecuted.

Even if you don’t think that WILL happen it’s important to say publicly that it SHOULD happen.

The idea that sexual abuse is part of “private” life instead of a public crisis has done incalculable damage. Anti-rape activists have to fight to even make it possible to expose sexual abuse as a wrongdoing in public without being silenced and undermined. That fight is far from won

One of the hidden impacts of the shutdown is on schools on reservations. Most school districts rely on local taxes, but schools on federal land, like reservations or military bases, rely on federal funding.
The shutdown is hurting schools whose budgets are mostly federal money - ICT
Federal money makes up only a small part of most school budgets in the U.S. But at Chinle Unified School District half of the revenue comes from a single federal program, called Impact Aid.

A podcast I cancelled my premium subscription to a few months ago just sent out a survey to “gather feedback for their new direction” and let’s just say the nature of the questions was very indicative of why I cancelled.
