A minute of meditation for you, sitting next to the Breitenbush River.
Celebrate love today, every kind of love.
Love of friends, yourself, pets both here and gone, your favorite pair of glasses and your least favorite coffee mug, your favorite song or movie.
I am one of the least romantic people you'll ever meet and I'm crying like a baby CLICK THE FULL VIDEO.

Everyone in the world comes to get married at the NYC Marriage Bureau. Last week, the Mayor stopped by to officiate a few of those ceremonies.
Thank you to all the couples who shared their joy with us. Happy Valentine's Day, New York.

@katmabu.bsky.social 's mic holder being a physical visible reminder of how fucked up voting districts are is absolutely amazing.
One person at a time. One tea stop at a time. One vote at a time.
Walks like this not only remind us what we’re fighting for but also how we can represent our communities better.
We’ll be on Devon again today! Hope to see you there 🧡

Okay y'all. 76 year old women should not be comparing the relative comfort of homeless shelters in their city.
But because we live in a society where they must, please donate to Blanchet if you can. They do great work.

We welcomed 25 women to our shelter last night. A 76-year-old woman shared that Bethanie’s Room is, “by far the best shelter I have ever stayed in. I feel like I have finally slept.”
Our most urgent need is L-3X pants and NEW boxer briefs, M-2X. Info at https://blanchethouse.org/donate-clothing.

This is that thread about men saying they'll do anything to protect their families, by owning a gun, but not teaching their kids how to properly wash their hands.
"I want to chase down ICE to protect my neighbors!"
But won't stop spreading illnesses to those same neighbors.

Okay I feel like I’m seeing an increasing number of businesses and events here in the Twin Cities require masks. Is it just me or is this a growing thing

This is one of the best follow ups I've ever read!
Okay but she posted on Reddit after the broadcast that she realized partway through Double Jeopardy that this was her only way to win, and started deliberately picking clues/buzzing in to maximize the odds that they would be tied going into Final. Absolute galaxy brain.

The next person I hear using "winemoms" pejoratively is gonna get an earful.
KMBC: "A woman tried to set a fire at a South Kansas City warehouse that had been rumored as a possible ICE detention center. Earlier today, the company that owns the property confirmed it is no longer moving forward with a sale to the U.S. government."

If you can gather with community members and cook food together and cook extra so that you can give it to people, I recommend doing that.
You don't need much space, I live in a small apartment with a kitchen full of half sized appliances!
Just invite people over, and cook food, and give it away.

Okay so I'm in a community with Covid cautious folks, and just in an appeal to the universe asked if anyone there knew anyone at the place I applied for.
And someone in my community works on the actual team that is hiring.
If y'all could send good hiring vibes, I would be so appreciative.
