I know we need Mamdani in NY and all, but I feel like if he just hangs out at the White House a while longer, we might get Trump to agree to deport himself?

My electric toothbrush lost its charge mid-brush and my actual reaction was, “Darn, guess I can’t brush anymore.” Then I remembered brushes still function manually and I braved it like a cavewoman.

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

If you asked me which senator could possibly break Strom Thurmond’s hateful endurance record, Cory Booker would have always been my first guess because of that time he was out digging his neighbors out of a snowpocalypse till 3 am, took a brief nap, and got right back out there again.
Cory Booker: The Mayor of Twitter and Blizzard Superhero
If you're a mayor of a northeastern U.S. city, you probably despise Cory Booker right now, because the tweeting mayor of Newark, N.J., is now...

If gunshots were happening even half as often as my neighbors on the Ring app think gunshots are happening, no one in my town would still be alive

Every relationship needs two kinds of people: one to sing the lead line in @tmbg.bsky.social's "Whistling in the Dark" and one to sing the "Whistling. Whistling. Dark. Dark" part.

MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE? BUFFY IS COMING BACK! WITH... DOLLY PARTON?! I have written like 8 posts here, and one of them involved Dolly Parton and my bio involves Buffy. I think I willed this into existence?

Security questions stink for anyone trying to forget a bad childhood. It's all "what street did you grow up on" and "grandmother's maiden name." Can't we think of adult questions? What's your most hated vegetable? How tall are you? What fantasy plays out in your head about how to best punish Trump?

The rise in higher education is a mixed blessing: statistically, those without college ed have more children, and college/career push babies later. Thus, the less educated create more voters… and they follow their parents to vote red.

who among us hasn’t gotten too excited and made an oopsie-daisy signal to support genocide?

In all things, balance. We can’t stay at fever-pitch stress for the next 4 years or we’ll wreck our health. We also can’t give in. So fight and rest, rest and fight. Do what you can as you can.

I don't know if it's meth, but it's something.
Guys, we really can’t blame Elon Musk for the Nazi salute.

He was high on meth. Meth was used extensively by the Nazi’s to stay awake and fight.

It took over. He couldn’t help it. /j

On MLK, Jr. Day, let’s remember that it is supposed to be a day of service. Doesn’t have to be something monumental. Do one small thing today to help others. Imagine just how great it would be if everyone did just that for one day.

What are you doing today to keep your mind off… that thing?

Anyone who's made a starter pack: is there a glitch with adding members? I started with 13 ppl and added a whole bunch more. When I went to add again, it was back to 13, like it hadn't saved. So I did one at a time, got it to around 19, then when I went to add another, it deleted some again.

Thank you to my new followers. I hope to help make this place a great community. I’m making a starter pack of Bloggess Pals (fans of Jenny Lawson). If that’s you, comment below and I’ll add you! #bloggesspals #thebloggess

Washington Post: “Democracy Skies in Blueness.”

What in the actual maple almond butter does this tagline mean? Is this supposed to be a “See, guys? We’re trying to pretend we didn’t just help turn the country over to the worst of humanity?” ‘Cause it ain’t cute. You used to be something important.
