More of a life goal, really. Somehow survived my spawn's childhood. Here because I heard it's nicer than that other place. Liking it so far!
Serious "look what you made us do" vibes
Worth remembering…

The thing about power is, when you're in charge, everything *is*, in fact, your fault. Nice try, though, GOP.

I did it! I grew sweet potatoes that look like sweet potatoes and not dessicated poops!

Hegseth: I decide what "settled history"
Historians: LOL
Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

Whether they're blaming vaccines and Tylenol, or selling dubious "remedies," what they're really doing is promoting the perception that families (and especially mothers) can prevent and treat Autism. And thus also the perception that people with Autism and their families don't need social support.

I've been doing this for 21 years and now I really don't give af what caused my son's autism. I'd rather see more money go toward supports and programs for him and others like him but nah, let's find more ways to make it Mom's fault while we destroy Medicaid 🙄

All this talk about HUAC and cradle-robbing has me thinking that Woody Allen's The Front might be worth another viewing.

This lil' peanut had to have all but her canines taken out, and a big ol' wart removed from her back so they told me to get her a T-shirt.
(She's getting lots of love, soft treats, and pain meds, don't worry!)

This Burning Man masterpiece was spotted by Reno News & Review managing editor Kris Wagner and I think it needs to be shared here:

C'mon, everyone. Be patient. Building an AI-generated simulacrum of a president takes *time*.

I have never forgotten this cold, utterly horrific statement.
No one should.

I’ve said it before but reading all the medieval history books I’ve been reading lately has been so comforting. Makes you realize that there have always been mad and incompetent kings and they almost always die in ignominy and everyone piles shit on them for centuries after they’re gone.

My mom was an avid bicycle safety advocate and I had that stuff drilled straight into my brain as a young child. So here's my take FWIW:
Bicycles are vehicles.
Car drivers: treat them as you would other vehicles.
Cyclists: behave as you would if you were driving a car.
Look out for each other.
Me: Drivers almost kill bicyclists through their recklessness and don't give a shit

This person: But one time, I had to slow down for a bike!

Once again, our "entitlement" is us not wanting to die. How dare we, right?

I was explaining to my Ukrainian colleague the phrase ‘There’s no such thing as a free lunch’. She told me the equivalent in Ukrainian is ‘The only free cheese is in the mousetrap’ - which is so much better

A family friend asked me to put my spin on the “They Didn’t Burn Witches / They Burned Women” design that’s been circulating for a while. Spent some time earlier & I'm really happy with it.

Please like & share 🖤✨️

Someone brilliant (I wish I could remember who) said that one of our biggest problems as Americans is that we want simple solutions to complex problems.

I think about that every day.

pretty weird how there's always billion dollars just lying around whenever ICE needs concentration camps but there's never any money when children need healthcare or a simple school lunch. oh well just one of those things I guess

Big fan of democracy but we'll have to admit it's an L of historic proportions to get subverted and destroyed not by some strategic genius but by possibly the dumbest man on earth
