Welsh, Woke, Remainer, hopeful that things will get better eventually! Goes without saying Anti-Nazi, Anti-Fascist.
Everything will be ok in the end, if it’s not ok, it’s not the end.

No one follows more etiquette rules than the Royal Family—but notice how King Charles didn’t make any smart-ass or demeaning comments about Zelensky’s attire today.
Why? Because respect isn’t about clothes—it’s about character. And that’s something money can’t buy.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
We made this website to tell our story:

As of today, a new term has entered our language. A “rubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.

My husband @robertcooper-us.bsky.social and I were the FIRST gay couple to adopt children in the US, way back in 1985. We went on to adopt five wonderful kids — all adopted at birth.
They’ve grown so much! Here’s a pic from our wedding in 2000, and a recent one including their significant others. ❤️

Tesla’s shareholders just lost another $38,640,000,000 today — a total $TSLA loss of $600 billion since December.
Tesla’s CEO was not in the office.
In literally any other public company ever, this would be the point where the CEO gets fired.

Ukraine resolution at the UN called Russia an aggressor and demands the full withdrawal of Russian forces from Ukraine’s internationally recognized borders.
The United States, Israel, and Russia voted against it.
Every free democratic country around the globe voted in favour. #EndImpunity

After 1,000 National Park Service employees were abruptly fired on February 14, staff banded together to signal “dire distress” by draping an upside-down American flag from the 3,000-foot summit of Yosemite’s iconic El Capitan monolith.

It seems there was a dinner at the WH where a military choir serenaded the orange turd and his guest with a rendition of One Day More from Les Miserables, and the ignorant fools loved it. This is what happens when you don’t read. People mock you to your face. 😹
