Update: this is way easier than I thought it was going to be

I am finally fed up enough with knitting socks on dpns that I am going to learn magic loop and two-at-a-time sock knitting this week

yeah if there's anything I've learned in the past decade it's that you really do have to spell out what's against the law

A screenshot featuring the Washington Post's "democracy dies in darkness" online header and one line: "One response to this sutation might be: Who cares?"

saving this in my Forever Memes folder for indiscriminate deployment

oh

Hey who wants some stickers, I will mail them to you if you promise to stick them in public places

thanks bud 💜💜💜

my smartwatch has labeled so many of my days "stressful" in a row that I'm starting to worry it's going to call somebody on my behalf

last summer I took a week-long vacation hoping it would help the Current Events Burnout and it didn't do anything!!! I was just as burned out when I got back as I was when I left!!!

truly I am at a loss for what more I can do coping-mechanism-wise anymore. I'm moving my body, I'm getting enough to eat (and trying to make sure there's vegetables in it), I sleep 7+ hours most nights, but my physiology feels like a dryer that's shaking itself loose.

my favorite episodes of CPWDCS are the ones where you can hear @margaret.bsky.social smiling the whole time

Proof of California’s demonic nature

I simply do not trust Californians' or NYC residents' opinions on national politics

oh noooo

well I don't like that one bit

nah, you don't need to post your face ever if you don't want to

where's hank green when we need him

I hope Ed Yong is having a nice day

shockingly people are capable of simultaneously,

1. Hating their government

2. Hating the people who bomb and sanction their country, making regular life impossible and murdering members of their family, even more

I am reminded that a startling number of people believe that if you’re a member of the military and you don’t like something your government did, you can just throw up your hands and quit the next day like any other job.

It Does Not Work That Way

maybe it'll happen this coming week

I do actually think there is a serious imbalance on this app. A lot of politics and not enough culture. Some of that has to do with the fact that Black Twitter mostly went to Threads.

5. Breathing exercises. My Finch app has them. (Finch is free)
6. Muting words, terms, names of people who fill me with rage on bluesky
7. If anyone knows how to break a phone addiction let me know. I’m sure that would be #1 on this list
8, I drink a lot of water, 64-100 ounces a day.

I cannot overstress that I am perfectly capable of being angry about 10,000 things at the same time, so there is no need to insist to me that one of the things I am angry about is preventing me from being angry about any of the other 9999 things.

To be clear, Kansas Republicans rushed through a confusing and disastrous bill, created a panic, and wasted untold number of tax dollars all to target 300 out of the nearly 3 million people in the state.

glad it's not just me

pasta

real life feels like that too, sometimes 🫠

not me shouting Fannie Lou Hamer facts at my car stereo earlier today, no ma'am

Do leftist podcasts have a pattern of not giving sufficient context specifically to topics surrounding agriculture or do I just know A Lot about agriculture
