April May (no, really)

This is amazing.

My professional review of the Springsteen song is that it means a lot to people here (myself included) and therefore is good

Sign the Petition: Release Eustaquio From Detention Now! Earlier this month, as part of Operation Metro Surge, ICE took a beloved local workers’ rights leader. Eustaquio Orozco Verdusco, known to many as “Paco,” was on his way to work on January 9, 2026, w...

A fun part of winter is when you walk up to your desk, touch it, and get a static shock so bad your monitor goes blank for a moment.

Three panel comic with crudely drawn stick people. Panel 1: A grayscale stick person wearing an oversized t-shirt featuring a flag with red, green, blue and black stripes is looking down and talking. Pseudoally: "I want you all to know that you are still valid in the confinement pit. You have my support. I will write strongly worded letters about the need for air conditioning in the pit." From the pit: "There's a ladder right next to you!" Panel 2: The view switches to showing the pit from above, ladder and all. The pit contains a variety of chromatic people, including a small one with a mint green propeller hat and one with animal ears. Pseudoally: "Look, I know it looks simple for me to just take this ladder and pass it down into the pit. But there are procedures here." An orange square-headed person: "It is simple!" Pseudoally: "No because you see, ladder allocation has to be done through the system. Properly." A dark blue person with lime green legs: "They dug the pit without even caring about the system!" Panel 3: The pseudoally pontificates from on high while the orange person watches in the foreground. A moss green person and a pink person with a light blue jacket and bright orange, triangular anime glasses are passing a ladder down into the pit. Pseudoally: "Look, I really wish there was something I could do but- hey what are you doing?" Moss Green: "Helping." Pseudoally: "I don't think extreme methods like this are good for the movement!" Anime Glasses: "We don't give a shit. Step aside."

This is beautiful. I want to do a similar stash-busting project with mitered squares.

These are adorable! Inspired me to look on Ravelry for a knitted bowl cozy, and I found one for free!

you know allowing that fine thread still connecting me to reality to snap sounding more and more appealing by the minute

elon musk has unlimited resources and has decided to make incredibly ugly trucks and be a total loser.

Actually, yeah. #generalstrike

There appear to be at least three separately operating heel factions breaking things within the government in wholly different ways right now. There's the Miller-headed immigration one, the DOGE/Elon one, and a Project 2025 OMB one. This dynamic hasn't showed up in mainstream reporting at all.

Behold my shame. This'll teach me not to use the good yarn while inebriated. #knitting #yarn #crafting #slowfashion #fiberarts

Losing a fight against some of the prettiest yarn I've ever seen. Might have a little midnight snack idk (something edible, not the pretty yarn 😂)

Essayists are the funniest genre of writer; why are you giving yourself homework assignments for fun? 😂

How do you suggest measuring severity? I have very heavily skewed verbal intelligence in relation to lower spatial reasoning intelligence. I also have CP so that adds a complexity wrt cognitive function.

What would you propose we do to break up this monopoly as indie book sellers, buyers and readers? What's the alternative?

A$AP Rocky, Pharrell, Lewis Hamilton and Colman Domingo will co-chair a historic Met Gala | CNN Menswear has been undergoing a renaissance — and next year, a landmark exhibition on Black dandyism will serve as the inspiration for fashion’s biggest night out.

Fun (not haha) fact I just learned about myself at age 28: I have the same disability as Gus Walz; #NVLD.

Acknowledging that this may be a sensitive question for some folks, if you have been diagnosed with Histrionic Personality Disorder, what has your experience that speaks to that been like? #HPD #ClusterB #TherapySky

Why do I have to watch an ad even when I beat a level in a mobile game? C'mon, I earned a little freedom from bombardment with advertisements, as a treat.

Is this an attempt to split the liberal vote in a swing state?

I have never in my life spelled Bureau correctly on the first try

it’s only Thursday and yet I have reached the point of the workweek where I have to constantly bribe my brain in order to let me keep it on a leash

How does the socialization of women towards the acceptance of unpaid labor contribute to their gravitation to arts work. What would happen if we lost the 65M volunteer hours, mostly women, that keep the nonprofit arts industry going? What if we paid these women the value of their labor, instead? 2/2

An #NEA report, "How the U.S. Funds the Arts" (2012), states that arts nonprofit volunteers are primarily women. A Grantmakers for the Arts article, "Leverage Lost," (Kreidler, 1996) states repeatedly that the nonprofit arts sector runs on discounted labor. 1/2

My spouse worked for a nonprofit that had to spend down a COVID relief grant and I still smh at what they did with it. Oh, to have $30k that I "have to spend" in a month. But I do understand it's harder with restricted funds.

What's a reasonable decorative gourd budget?
