Since mobility aids are the theme of the day:
You don't need any excuse to use one. Cane, crutches (heavily recommend forearm), wheelchair, etc. There is no minimum amount of discomfort or disability required.
By the time you think you need a mobility aid, you often have needed it for a while.

Without LGBT New Yorkers, Cuomo might’ve won. Mamdani’s genuine and relentless support of trans rights was not only morally correct, but an electoral necessity.
Centrist dems want buses running over LGBT people. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social wants free and clear bus lanes instead. The difference won him the election.

Curious for more seasoned legal reads, but as a layperson, I'm not sure I've ever seen such a direct call for en banc reversal in an appellate dissent before.

I want to call out a violation of norms.
The flag should not be lowered to half staff for this. He wasn’t a judge or an elected official or even an A-list celebrity.
He was a partisan hack.
The flag should not be lowered today.

average Dem strategist: we must focus on bipartisan policies that undercut Republican attacks
average Dem voter: having studied the denazification of Germany, we must raze the RNC and leave JD Vance clutching a single wool blanket in a cell after we strip him of everything

A federal judge in D.C. says the District has unlawfully detained a woman charged with spitting on a National Zoo police officer after she was arrested for entering a staff-only area at the zoo's Bird House.
The city jail "has chosen not to comply with this Court’s Order."

BREAKING:
The White House lashed out at the creators of this ad for "fear-mongering".
It must have really struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists.
You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE!

The resting place of Bernard Vander-Sanden. Hillside Cemetary, Columbus Wisconsin, summer 2024.
Bernie was a custodian at my elementary and middle school. I was strolling through a cemetery, as one does, and found his grave. I went home and read his obituary.

I'm just waiting for Bluesky to enshittify. It's just another Twitter, started by the same dude who started the last Twitter. Don't marry the place.
Meanwhile, I'll be intermittently posting photos I've taken, with alt text. I'd like it if you checked them out.
