Jesus. Fucking. Christ. This kid wants to get out of detention in time for his school spelling bee. What the fuck are we doing.

I have 800 ideas but also 80lbs of laundry to process
I donβt think people who arenβt regularly covering the reproductive rights beat realize how common it is for women to be incarcerated for miscarriages.
A while back my very offline husband started saying that in a few years weβd start looking at the internet the way we look at lead pipes: efficient and affordable but it poisons everything that passes through it. I think about that all the time.
I need every single male artist that follows me to read this. It's not very long. You need to bear witness to this shit. You have to see it with your own eyes because you never will in your everyday life.
I'm serious, read it all please
Staff at the nationβs largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.
Anyway, catch me at the library or drawing at the dining room table or playing cards on the floor. Itβs great. βοΈ
I say this as a Very Busy Momβ’οΈ who has little time in this phase of parenting to hang w friends as much as I would like or even stay reliably in touch with my own social world. And Iβm chill compared to the norms of my mom-peers! Itβs buck wild.
Itβs not like Iβm doing nothing, but I really resent the childhood-as-resume-building pressures and constant business and the stress it adds to kids and parents (/often moms) who coordinate and drive and get pulled into unpaid labor! When do you rest and play, maβam!
Turns out my biggest hobby in middle age is lovingly yelling at fellow working middle aged moms, begging them to do less and volunteer less and sign kids up for less stuff and insteadβ¦hang out and enjoy life and family? I feel very passionately about this!!!
I think LLMs have uses, but "1,000 targets, including a girls elementary school we hit twice with precision munitions" is indeed representative of their state-of-the-artβand likely a fundamental limitation of the technology.
Sometimes sloppiness is okay; sometimes it's 160 dead children.
They killed 180 children and their teachers in a double-tap strike on a school. The girls were 7 to 12 years old.
My wife says I like The Pitt because "where else do you see competent people in positions of authority trying to help?"
Good morning! Yes, this is he
Good words
This is a policy of genocide.
βDolly Parton Childrenβs Hospital did not share how much Parton donated as part of the naming announcement. But Matt Schaefer, its president and CEO, said her support would ensure βevery child who walks through our doors receives the treatment they deserve.ββ
GOD BLESS DOLLY PARTON
something v encouraging to see lately is how clear eyed people have become about assigning fault to institutions rather than individuals. BAFTA/BBC tried to throw that poor man under the bus by seating him where they did and airing what they did but no oneβs buying it
There is no amount of money in the world that would lead me to fight a Vietnamese refugee that grew up in Louisiana
(Also I really want to try a Korean style Poβ Boy)
no such thing as other people's children
as long as folks are enthusiastically donating to state level trans orgs today, figured I'd reup this list the @them.us team and I put together a few years back: www.them.us/story/orgs-f...
(some info may be outdated, but use this as a jumping-off point!)
If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.
tcpipeline.org
btw for trans women to offer this kind of practical warning and sympathy is a serious mitzvah and we cis women really owe it to them (and to ourselves!) to step up our solidarity in kind
ilhan omar might be the bravest american in congress right now. solidarity to her forever, i wish she could be president
Shame on anyone who told women they were silly to worry that, post-Dobbs, birth control would be next.
βiβm still punkβ i whisper to myself as i turn down the music in my car so i can see better
BREAKING: A push to name one of Chicagoβs snowplows βAbolish ICE,β clearly linking the humorous pun to efforts to oppose President Donald Trumpβs mass deportation effort, won the cityβs annual snowplow naming contest, officials announced. @wttw.bsky.social
βWe were stunned [about the prescience] for a while, but weβve really gotten to the point where itβs really sad. Itβs just sad how predictable and lame and obvious and wrong it all is. Fascism is just a total fail in the end.β www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-featur...
Itβs giving middle passage
In addition to being absolutely brilliant, amazing & charming in her own right, we all know she was raised by a single dad w/4 siblings and that he came to the US bc of persecution bc of his participation in the β89 Tiananmen democracy uprising, right?
