@evangreer.bsky.social and @tommorelloofficial.bsky.social absolutely KILLING IT tonight in Boston.
Resistance needs joy, and community, and a soundtrack. This was all those things. Just exactly what my tired soul needed. And check out Tom's Franklin hat!! 🥰 #StandUpFightBack

As the child of a Vietnam Vet, I am keenly aware of the failures of several administrations to take care of vets. You can & should have feelings about the validity of that war, but the men and women who fought it are still suffering, and still ignored. My father waited a YEAR for a PCP.

Here's the really sad thing - I sent this to my family and my college sophomore nibling had no idea what a picket line was. I'm not sure that kiddos these days even know what a strike entails.

Yup. This is entirely bullshit.

I mean, if it's a legal issue... HBD.

My ancient Targus bag does pretty well. It doesn't have two fully padded slots but it does have two compartments and has held up for nearly 15 years. I've comfortably got a 15in laptop, a Kindle Scribe (the BIG) one and an iPad in mine and I've still got a room for 3 books & snacks & a travel mug.

Call his office. I assure you he doesn't read these replies.

There was a period in my life where "3 shots" was more fun and slightly less painful the next day.

Flu/Covid/Pneumonia because public health is all of us.

Now somebody send me some soup and a fluffy blanket so I can be all pit'ful. ❤️🤍

If you're looking for a sign you should be out at a protest, here are 4. Boston was joyful, peaceful, and PACKED. Get out there and be loud while you can. It makes a difference. #NoKings

The sign game on the Common was On Point.

My parents were there!! Thrilled to see *deep red* Brunswick Co. show up.

Excited to be part of the @stonehamcan.bsky.social and Stoneham Reads Banned Books Read In today. Now more than ever, the people banning books are on the wrong side of history. Support the Mass #FreedomToRead bill, and fight censorship.

This is the landing page for a dot gov website and I cannot BEGIN to tell you how fucking bad this is.

I need red state people to be on the phone to their electeds today because this is not and cannot be normalized. This is absolutely unhinged.

The best part about gardening is when you spend hours and hours and dollars and dollars making sure that your plants have everything they could possibly need to be productive and healthy and then this mfer right here just grows out of the gotdang concrete.

RESILIENCE!

Well, I can tell you for sure what one bar in Toronto had to say on the subject.

So apparently the new trick is for people to label things that they want to get removed as "spam" on this site. We truly are heading for an incredibly dark timeline where history is simply being erased, and the moderation here is... being weirdly complicit?

Look if you don't keep a dinosaur within line of sight to keep you humble, are you even an adult?
