being able to stay in touch with friends and family who are a long ways away

Looking at the chart from the federal gov't saying that 37% of American families couldn't put their hands on $400 in cash if an emergency came up. Thinking about the 1:4 kids in CA who go to bed hungry. What an oblivious piece of shit this guy must be.

'Buy the cat treats' It comes from a trip to Tokyo and me being stubborn about not giving into up-selling at a cat café and realizing upon walking out that I had been Righteous Asshole Mom. We flew across the ocean to get here! Buy your kid the fuckin' cat treats already, so what if it's a rip-off?

I'd go for the Zamboni guy or the Jacuzzi guy or both just found out that the Spaghetti-O's guy was named Ettore Boiardi so maybe him

I grew up mostly in LA, and pretty much every car had a Thomas Brothers Guide in it also I think we did get better at learning routes because we knew it mattered

My kids are way better people than either of their parents and will contribute good things to the communities they end up making their lives in.

dumbstruck

ha as if

I've lived all over but I guess I really am a Californian

Before and After Science Exile in Guyville

In case you needed more reasons not to use Amazon; this is downtown Berkeley today. So much for protected bike lanes.

People who say 'font' in sentences where I would say 'typeface'. I have learned to live with it, I know I'm not going to win this one. Second place is people who call all Asian papers 'rice paper'.

Elizabeth Zimmerman, Knitting Without Tears Talking Heads, Remain in Light

TIL that you can reply 'fuck off' to Dem fundraising texts and it works just as well as Stop or End! ha ha ha

first: Pete Seeger last: Rainbow Kitten Surprise next: Altin Gün seen most: X haven't seen but want to: maybe Blur?

There is a Go Find Me for these single mothers’ in Minneapolis who need help paying for their DACA renewal. They ran through their savings hiding from ICE and need our help! www.gofundme.com/f/support-da...

Samuel Tick Repellent? Or maybe Roy Hella Wet Levain, depending on which grandpa and which purchase.

I was 5 when humans walked on the moon. I was 9 before unmarried women could buy condoms in the US and Roe v Wade made abortion legal. I turned 10 before women in the US could apply for credit cards in their own names.

@celestepewter.bsky.social Details (size, paper) in the alt text.

@elizabeth-warren.bsky.social I've got bumper stickers from both your presidential campaigns. Waiting for you to de-endorse Platner now is such a bummer! I would have expected you to be out in front of this, not lagging behind.

Thanks for sticking around this place

Corn dogs forever followed by frozen banana w/chocolate and nuts I know that sounds like 'put it on a stick and as long as you fry it or dip it in chocolate Cory will eat it' but that's totally coincidental

Loving all my trans friends, neighbors and family members today. You enrich the world with your existence. You are a joy and a treasure. I will be fighting by your side as long as you want me there.

This is the whole Bay Area! Hardly anybody can afford to work & live in the same place. No town willing to house the labor their residents depend on.

there was a restaurant here, I think connected to some kind of cult-y leadership training thing? called the Gratitude Cafe and all the entrees had names like 'I am Resplendent' and 'I am Serene' and 'I am Beloved' and the waitstaff were not allowed to take your order unless you said the name.

You flamed your last lips

Hey my dude! If they were 'your' volunteers, they'd be volunteering for your candidates, no? Am I missing something? They volunteer for the candidate they want to see win, no?

Pretty much anything with raisins in it

Montreal bagels so good

Fascination Amour: It has romance! It has gangsters! It's set on a cruise ship! Along with the romance and the crime, it's also a parody of Titanic. watch.plex.tv/nl/movie/fas...

Money speaks for money, the Devil for his own — Who stands to speak for the skin and the bone?

I'd get massages whenever I felt like it, and I'd get the car detailed.

Oh my god, FreeTaxUSA really is that good! Feeling worse about what my taxes pay for than any year ever but at least I got to give Turbotax the finger @clairewillett.bsky.social

Armageddon is terrible, but immigrants were eating people's pets.

Am I being unfair when I assume anyone who uses the word 'female' as a noun rather than an adjective is at the very least slightly misogynist? Sincere question. It's an assumption I *do* make; am I being unfair, do you think?

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you. If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can. Everyone give this a share after.

Librarians/archivists don't actually wear white cotton gloves to handle rare books and papers; clean bare hands are much better.

Social movement scholar here to comment on No King again. a 🧵: These protests are important b/c: 1.) as sustained image events, protests offer evidence of continued disapproval of the direction the country is going and disavowal of the country's leadership.

My lips? Flaming

Either Walking on Sunshine, or that Tears for Fears song Shout? Hard to decide, but def one of those two.

Interpretive dance

So, I'm enjoying the photos of Rubio in his terrible giant shoes as much as anybody, but the 'he makes them wear these shitty cheap shoes!' is starting to grate on me. These are shoes that cost half a week's pre-tax salary for a person working full-time at minimum wage, which lots of people do.
