Looks like the whole Swedish men's team is having issues and it ain't Gus's fault, from a friend who's actually watching the game. Nylander specifically looks off. #StephYellsAboutHockey

Oof if I could not hit the high note (and bonus run) in the SSB I personally would have changed the key, but what do I know, I just have a degree in music.

I mean, everything is political, even in romance where we like to pretend that there aren't political choices being made. That having been said, one of my favorite books ever is KJ Charles's _A Seditious Affair_, which is extremely political (and set in 1820). #PretendPanel
Today is Waitangi Day here in Aotearoa, #pretendpanel, and it gets me thinking about the role of politics in the stories we tell.
February 6th: Do you enjoy writing or reading political plotlines?

The Great Depression and anabaptism are the two that I know about. But the Great Depression part of the family is French Canadian, and they originally came to this continent because of a land grant from the French king, which, ugh.
Genuinely curious: If your family is American, what brought them here?
Mine: religious nuttery & primogeniture

A lot of it started that way? I am old enough that this isn't my first shitty president/protest cycle. I probably still have a KERRY 04 hat somewhere. I started writing, largely queer stuff, in 2004/5ish. It got queerer as it went along.
Right now it's mostly escapism, tbh. #QueerWritersChat

A measure of the opposition to the flow of current . . . (Sorry, my dad's kind of an engineer. And also a dad.) It's everything--not just when you protest but what you do every day and what's in your heart and where you spend money and where you go.

Hi, I'm Stephanie and I'm poking around at the same project from last time (disability feelings, mostly, but also hockey). Also, I live in Minnesota, so a significant amount of time is spent doing [REDACTED]. #QueerWritersChat

Perfect time to bring this back. Go into your camera roll and post the first picture that makes you laugh out loud.

Bluesky, I know the person who made this is on here. I saw this at the Minnesota State Fair in 2023 and have vowed to find the person who made it so I can be their best friend.

This is a Republican position, it's so far right. Probably a lot of Republicans agree with it!
Abolishing ICE is the *moderate* position. We're so far past that at this point. Abolish, disband DHS (keep the Coast Guard and FEMA), prosecute everyone involved.

SCHUMER says Democrats are “united” behind three DHS reforms
1/ End roving patrols; tighten the rules on warrants and require ICE to coordinate with local authorities.
2/ Enforce accountability; a uniform code of conduct.
3/ Require masks off, body cameras on, agents carry ID.
