Interests all over the map—you never know what you’ll find here. Looking for a forever social media home…or a couple or few of them if that’s what it takes to leave MetaLand behind.

Excellent and fascinating and disturbing book, am eager to see the documentary when it comes to an independent theater or organization near me. Have any ideas for venues or hosting orgs I can pass along to the filmmaker?

Oh that’s terrible. I dream of visiting Pass-a-grille again someday, but really wish I could visit it the way it was when you were growing up there.

Nice mellow vibe for almost midnight. Interesting spin on slug slime trails, too-- an unexpected introduction to a larger story I’ll have to listen to again to fully grasp (or maybe not fully, it seems mysterious).

US Supreme Court won’t hear Oregon prison union case  • Oregon Capital Chronicle The conservative Seattle-based Freedom Foundation filed the suit on the grounds of a 2018 U.S. Supreme Court decision.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday turned down a right-wing group’s lawsuit aiming to strike down an Oregon union’s policy that allows it to charge correction workers who opt out of joining for the costs of representing them.

Best Ways Best Ways to do all sorts of things. The number one stop for best practises. See and learn from others. Share your own tricks.

Please don’t take offense, I don’t even know who you are, have just been appreciating your updates on boycott targets. These are my observations as a random nobody trying to make a difference in my own small ways and wishes the best to you going forward.

So far all I’ve seen from you for days is complaining about other people complaining about you. I don’t know what you’re talking about but it’s not helping me understand or achieve anything. Me thinks thou might be protesting too much?

November 9 is “Go to an Art Museum” Day, but I’m celebrating all week by highlighting some family favorite #ArtMuseums! Our mom made the Springfield Art Museum a center of our lives when we were growing up in Springfield, MO. Do you have a favorite #art #museum near your home?

Zero? They demand the things but don’t want to pay for them at all. They want OPM to provide for them. Other People’s Money. But they seem unmoved by arguments for increasing the tax burden for people who have enough wealth to pay for all of it & have money left over. Just my take on it today 🤷🏻

but the man with voices in his head & the woman who has to sing all night and the rest of them aren’t going to settle down immediately. And tbh I feel the shame of my privilege knowing *I* sure don’t want to have to work in that place, and we’ll make the poorest and least privileged do that work.

Yes, and even forced institutionalization feels like a cop out for me, I mean sure it’s easy to say “these people deserve actual mental
health and custodial care because they are not able to provide for themselves” but…

I am in awe of this artist’s work, had a great time looking at all of the award winners in this virtual exhibition and reading the juror’s remarks about each one. Sunday’s off to a nice start

Congratulations! I’ve looked at all of the award entries and the juror’s remarks. All remarkable but your portrait is truly a standout.

To ratchet up pressure on the GOP, we’re rolling out billboards in key districts that call House Republicans out by name for backing Trump’s shutdown. We’re making sure constituents in these districts know their GOP representatives are siding with Trump over working families. Pitch in if you can.
