Hey friends! My dream was to be the BEST trick-or-treat house on the block, &for the last 5 years I've been living that dream. Each year I run out of bags sooner - I'm on some 'best house' maps which is amazing - but I'd love to do more for the kids. Want to help? www.tumblr.com/knitmeapony/...

Today is Intersex Awareness Day. I am intersex – and did not find out until I was 26! Intersex people are also impacted by the decision in FWS, but this is much less talked about. Intersex people continue to be subjected to non-consensual medical interventions. Intersex rights are human rights.

Need to do some research on the whole tradwife/Mormon corner of the social media universe, along with some stuff on mlms that particularly prey on housewives. I would like to do it more responsibly then watching The Secret Lives of Mormon wives. Who's got some good podcasts or documentaries for me?

Me: I am only stopping at the re-store looking for shelves, I'm not going to buy anything else. Me, 20 min later: Your name is Henry and you're going to live in my bedroom.

Me a week ago: This is just a short vampire game, I should make a really simple fun character and not get deep into Fucked Up Family Dynamics. Me at 3AM last night: -making a 6 slide power point presentation explaining the fucked up family dynamics-

If you somehow missed this.... So, yes, the PAC paying plants in the Michigan Senate race is also trying to ban abortion in Missouri

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

This is really important. There are no “back office workers” vs “front line”. If the back office isn’t ordering supplies and doing the maintenance and cleaning the floors and everything else that needs to be done, who do you think does the work?

Stephanie Rodgers 🍉@bootstheory.bsky.social

Reposting AND quote posting because it can't be said enough: we must rebuke the narrative of "frontline" workers (who are So Important and Worthy unless they're on strike over shitty pay) and "back office" workers who contribute nothing and are acceptable casualties of public service cuts

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

Have almost everything for the grown up cups already, so I'm starting to pack them now. I'm going to have to think about maybe something really small if I want to put a snack in these cups. I didn't realize the cocoa mix packets would be quite as big as they are compared to the cup.

The first 20 packed and tucked away! I usually do about half as many of these as I do trick or treat bags. Whatever I don't give away either goes in a love fridge or I put a $5 bill in it and give it to folks panhandling when I see them.

"Why would a spy agency be openly pro-queer" can only be asked by someone with nearly zero familiarity with the history of espionage

People have been SO generous with this, and I'm going to start packing the bags this weekend!! Pics will go in the thread!

The ravens may be gone, but the crows are here. And I wanna be friends.

$$ FYI: Those acne stickers you can get are hydrocolloid material, and you can get whole ROLLS that you can cut out to whatever size/shape you want. Many of them are FSA/HSA compliant if you've got that. I just got a roll with tea tree oil. And I put my own stickers on them so they're still cute.

Plus, if you're blister-prone as I am, it's a great way to keep yourself from popping/picking at it, and it's a good way to get them to naturally drain.

Reposting this with alt text because anyone who thought Danny Trejo would turn his back on his whole fucking community needs to be educated, and everyone needs to be able to read this. I truly knew that it had to be something like this, but was not about to sit and argue with people online.

So Danny Trejo was manipulated and tricked into being in Ben Shapiro's newest film. Holy shit.

Yesterday @sinblache.bsky.social pointed out that I'd uttered the most neurodivergent sentence imaginable, namely: "I had to stop reading the cyberpunk sex novel because there were just too many fluids happening, so now I'm reading a collection of ghost stories about trains."

It’s a shame Joss Whedon turned out to be a fucking creep because ye olde fandom has a perfectly good term for this: being jossed. But it’s faded from use (as it should, probably) and it’s a bit of a shame. You put your big fan panties on and wrote a goddamn AU after it happened.

Say it loud for the folks in the back. This is Daniel Levy’s response to the SNL hosts opener in which he said women at the gym dress like whores. Fuck that guy. Be like Daniel.

SNL banned Sinead O'Connor for life for protesting child abuse in the Catholic church, but gave this knob a third hosting gig. Nothing ever changes.

Michigan Democrats have a 6 to 2 majority on the state’s board of education, and are defending both seats in play this year. One of the 2 GOP candidates is Bree Moeggenberg, chair of a Moms for Liberty chapter who has self-published a book titled: “Pronouns. Pronouns. Pronouns. NOT SHMONOUNS.”

Did you know? Doctors are rolling out suzetrigine, the first opioid-free drug for severe pain. Instead of targeting the brain like highly addictive narcotics, it chemically blocks pain signals at the nerve source, completely stopping intense pain without any risk of addiction.
