The wife and I engaged in some vintage record shopping to soothe our tortured should. Coming home with new to us Joni Mitchell, Marvin Gaye, David Bowie, and Johnny Cash. We're going to spend all night listening and chilling. I can't wait!

We are playing Dressmaker. I come from a line of seamstresses and quilters and I am loving how authentic it feels. My machines and fabric are in storage bins but this game makes me want to dig them out again.

I know work isn't meant to be fun but I feel so much better when I'm volunteering than at work. I wish I could transition careers without going back to school. I'm even will to take the massive pay cut, just to feel like my work has meaning.

Metro Detroit area friends! I'm looking for someone to hang out with me on October 31 at the Brilliant Detroit McDougall-Hunt neighborhood Trunk-or-Treat and help manage my "Ms. Rachel's Book Party" trunk (yes I will be dressed as Ms. Rachel). They are also in need of 10 more vehicles/ trunks. 1/2

Today is #HobbitDay because Bilbo and Frodo Baggins were both born on September 22nd. Normally we'd shire a hobbit pun or two but it might just feel like a tolkien gesture and we don't want to embarrass our elves. Anyway it's a good day to come and boromir #Tolkien books. 📚

Fuck Newsom. Cis white libs I'm begging you, when you vote don't just pick people who shout things at MAGA on social media. Actions speak louder than words; most of the politicians who rise in popularity because of their wit haven't done a single thing to help the people they claim to serve.

The State AGs were on pace to kill the Paramount/Warner Bros by litigation and delay until Gavin Newsom stepped in and turned the tide. Now the Trump loyalist Ellisons will control CNN and HBO. Don't ever, ever forget that Newsom stabbed us in the back www.wsj.com/business/med...

@herwife.online & I are slowly organizing our books. So far we've got sections for graphic novels & comics, cookbooks, picture books, kid's/YA chapter books, & queer books. Next weekend we'll organize the rest by non-fiction (Dewey classification) and fiction. All ordered by author-last name. 📚💙

The kids and YA sections would be much, much bigger but as my kids got older I gave hundreds of them away as various schools or organizations did book drives. What I have left are mostly from my childhood and my dad's childhood ( I threw away the problematic ones), with a few of my kid's favorites.

We could have kept the queer books in their relative section, i.e. YA, graphic novel, etc. but we really wanted to highlight them. And of course the empty spots mean we need to get more queer books!

I'm not very familiar with DC comics, but this looks too cute to pass by.

Trans people are a slightly LARGER percent of the US population in 2026 than Jewish people were in Germany in 1933. Assholes who say trans folk aren’t worth defending because of population size are telling us exactly who they would have been in Nazi Germany.

a consultant memo has clearly gone out before the midterms. the dem party knows anti-trans rhetoric isn’t popular. but they are banking on winning the midterms because of how badly the republicans are doing. they want to use those wins as a way to shut down the fight for trans rights.

Another Iowa Dem releases an ad in response to anti-trans ads against her. "We need to protect kids, and we need common sense rules to keep sports fair for boys and for girls. Parents know what's best for our kids. Washington needs to stay out of it." From Lindsay James, IA-02.

At the physical therapy office listening to an elderly person crying because they can't afford to come for care anymore and I fucking want to burn this world down.

"Enjoy the camps" is also something that's been said to me, as a disabled person. I've even been called a Useless Eater by liberals (and even leftists). Disabled people were the crack that opened the door to the Holocaust. They were rounded up and either sterilised or murdered. They used our...

Southeast Michigan friends: Open rehearsals tonight at Christ Church Detroit*! No auditions and no experience necessary. *DWC is a non-profit organization with a mission of diversity, inclusion, and social justice. We use the church for rehearsal space but are not a religious organization.

Democrats have shown us since the 2024 election that they won't stand for any leftist issues or protect any vulnerable groups. They only care about protecting their personal wealth and power. A vote for a centrist is a vote for continued fascism.

jenny tightpants@jtp.bsky.social

this shit does not work on me. go try it on the centrists who call trans women "biological men."

"I want to protect children so I bowed to pressure from a pedophile" just doesn't ring true for some reason.

Ed Sheeran on why he doesn’t publicly discuss politics: “My audience includes young people, often children, of all backgrounds. Those who come to my shows do not expect a political forum. I respect Macklemore’s strength... However, there is room for multiple approaches to the same end: peace”

I propose the following acronym for democrats looking to get elected: CAPSAICIN. Choose A Principled Stand And Ignore Centrist Involvement Nonsense. I know, it's a rather spicy take, but..
