Listen. I'm already hearing #fireworks and I have a plan. I have a gas power washer and a 50 gallon rain barrel. If we put them into my car, we can soak fireworkers after midnight!
For the #sleep of the #babies! Onward! Sweet #vengeance awaits!

I love my library—but the White House is trying to dismantle the agency in charge of federal library funding. It provides jobseeker resources, technology for people with disabilities, and even more.

Has anyone gotten their National Board Certification in secondary English as a New Language? I'm looking for people who I can ask some questions while I'm working through it.

wow. I just got off the phone with someone in Karla May’s office asking for clarification on her vote to uphold the Missouri ban on gay marriage this was the answer I received.
“Karla May voted her conscience on the amendment as the senator believes marriage is between one man and one woman”

At least $12 *trillion* from global oligarchs is hidden offshore in secret tax havens worldwide. And it is headquartered right here in the USA.
Instead of cutting lifesaving programs like the VA, Medicaid, and food stamps, we should be cracking down on tax havens for the ultra-rich.

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

@margaret.bsky.social, I underestimated how cool the Quakers are.
Oh, per @nbcnews.com: Quaker groups file suit over the end of policy restricting ICE arrests in houses of worship.
Note: Quakers were some of the earliest supporters of Sanctuary, even putting out a booklet on the topic in 1984 (it's still available). www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

The suit appears to be the first from a faith-based organization challenging the change in court.

To instrumentalize what my sister is saying below: every time someone says DEI say “you mean civil rights?” Every time someone says they are against woke reply “oh so you’re a segregationist!” Words have meaning! Don’t allow that nonsense to stand.
Only saying once on bsky b/c I know it is not entirely useful, but it is totally exhausting that in 2016 some of us said “they’re Nazis,” some of us screamed “they’re segregationists,” and a whole lot of very serious people now posting about them being Nazis and segregationists gaslight us for years

RETROGRADE (adjective): directed or moving backward, returning to older and worse conditions, methods, ideas, etc.. Example: the status of current whitehouse policy. Used as a noun, the word retrograde means "a degenerate person," a common characteristic of those alluded to in the above example.
