Comfort is my kink.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

This candidate for Congress in Texas is more than just a quinceañera singer. But it helps.

When creating PDFs, avoid using "Print to PDF." A screen reader user may still be able to access the text of PDFs created this way, but heading structure, alternative text, and any other tag structure will be lost. Using "Save As" or "Export" can preserve these tags.

I get they're inextricably intertwined but I kind of feel like leaning so much into how he was the longtime best buddy of the world's most notorious sex criminal has given it something of the feel of a political gotcha rather than the important part, which is that the president raped people.

10 to 1 are odds, or an SNL sketch, not a baseball score

I don’t understand this reference but my non-sports husband just said “they’re Eukering this” and I know the reference is Bob Euker (sp?) but I don’t know why it’s relevant to this MLB game.

For this week’s #OliveArtClub, please make art based on this box of loose leaf tea. All skill levels and mediums welcome, no AI. I took the picture but I do not own the tea company’s branding or logo and have no connection to them except as a customer

Fellow Camberville-area folks, please help out these local organizers if you can! They were hit with a massive tax bill on money they collected and distributed for mutual aid in the early pandemic days.

There are people, even some trans people, who think that we can give up sports to appease bigots. That if we give up on sports, this all goes away. That is a lie. I have reported on this for years, and EVERY state that passed a sports ban as a moderate compromise has gone on to pass worse.

new york forever. FUCK ICE.

I've learned over the years that when someone calls in distress, I shouldn't ask if I should come over. Instead I say "I'm already in the car, unless you don't want me there" because people are terrified to bother each other, especially when they're already vulnerable. The call *is* the ask. Go.

70 percent of the internet was vulnerable yesterday to very bad security flaws inside a coding language. Turns out, *one volunteer* is mostly responsible for maintaining that code & helping push updates. Yesterday Ondřej Surý saved the internet. So I called him up www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

Today's small act of planting radical seeds: put extra copies of two recent books I loved, by @sheerspite.bsky.social and @simkern.bsky.social, in a little free library! 🔥

In my 7yo’s class each kid gets a week. One day they bring in their favorite toy, another their favorite book, etc Thursdays they dance to the kid’s favorite song What did my kid say her favorite song is? Friends, my daughter is rickrolling her teacher and classmates I couldn’t be prouder.

Why aren’t all the grey market GLP companies offering this????

The Cinema Museum in London is trying to buy its building and they are about 1/4 of the way to their goal. It's a converted Victorian workhouse where Charlie Chaplin lived and worked as a child. Could you share or donate a bit? www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/the-cinema...

bitch couldn't even figure out my gender, how my neshamah and beshert gonna get sorted

When you have a travesty as large as the city’s response to homelessness, it should be a no-brainer to try things like this that have worked for other cities. We can’t just keep trying to bulldoze people out of existence. We have to try new responses if we ever want to actually solve this problem.

On April 5, 1977, people with disabilities occupied government buildings across the country with simple demands: access to education, jobs, and public spaces. It has been fifty years since the Section 504 sit-ins, but the fight for those with disabilities continues.

It took me a bit to figure out if this was a fake Mike Minogue ad, paid for by Andrea James, or an opposition mailer paid for by Mike Minogue that is the best advertising James could get…. FYI check out the donors, if you didn’t know Arthur Demoulas of Market Basket was a huge Republican donor……

This week a white nationalist tried to assassinate a member of Congress and you probably didn’t even hear about it—and a reminder that being an elementary school student in the US is more deadly than being an ICE officer: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/three-shoo...

She was murdered by transphobia 😥😥😥

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.

The Boston Globe right-wing columnist Jeff Jacoby (currently on medical leave) used to defend Columbus, believing he was being judged by modern standards. In 2023, he looked into the matter ... and changed his mind. jeffjacoby.com/27260/i-used...

Slavery was and is a real thing that has brutalized hundreds of millions of people over the course of human history, if someone tells me a fucking chatbot is enslaved I'm immediately throwing hands. It's not cute, it's not intriguing, it's an insult to real people who suffered and suffer now.

My Kickstarter is now live! Based on my experiences, CHASING CARS is a coming-of-age novel about an autistic pregnant trans teen boy in the BC foster care system. And it is banned in many USA states with actual legislation before it is even published. Back it! www.kickstarter.com/projects/jul...

Kelly Clarkson isn’t putting us in danger, but do you know what is? Massachusetts ballot questions 3, 5, and 8. Vote no on 3, 5, and 8.

Please note a "Yes" vote for ballot Question #9 is to protect a life-saving, comprehensive gun safety law already on the books. #9 is a referendum. In contrast, ballot questions 1 - 8 are initiatives to make new laws.

Massachusetts!!!

Great British Bake Off needs to do hamentaschen as a technical challenge.
