Husband: you need to crochet a set of mitts for baking and make them black with satanic symbols on them. You could call them Coven Mitts. Me: Threatening and glaring Husband: What?! It's genius
This is the kinda shit I gotta put up with. No jury would convict me.

They’re totally going to do this.
Mouth, eyes, seat belt, car door....yep.
A tweet from "Covie" (@covie_93) that reads: "Speaker Mike Johnson from the great state of 'Louisnana' wants to get rid of the Department of Education." Below the tweet is an image of a large blue curtain featuring an emblem with a pelican and the words "SUPREME COURT" and "CONFIDENCE." The word "LOUISNANA" is prominently misspelled instead of "LOUISIANA." The mistake is highlighted with a red circle. In the foreground, three judges in black robes are seated at a table.
Can’t make this up.
Huh
Monochrome photograph featuring a sitting Black woman in a long dress and white shawl holding knitting pn a table beside her, looking outwards
Sojourner Truth (1797-1883), abolitionist, women's rights advocate, who chose to be photographed with her knitting. As an enslaved person, she had knitted/spun endlessly and when free later in life, she taught knitting to former enslaved women aiding self-sufficiency #womensart
Officials say the Trump administration transferred hundreds of immigrants to El Salvador even as a federal judge ordered their removals be stopped
The Trump administration violated *another* court order by deporting a professor despite her valid visa and a judge’s order halting her removal
Hindering communication.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Dolly Parton says her husband of nearly 60 years, Carl Dean, has died at 82.
Yall better be both sharing the Stand up for Science posts /and/ figuring out how to get your butt to one of them!

BREAKING: Blow to #DOGE as judge blocks access to personal info at OPM & Ed. Dept. Ruling from judge Deborah Boardman, MD-based Biden appointee, seems likely to broadly halt DOGE access unless overturned. w/@kyledcheney

"[W]e are reprinting an editorial from the Clarksdale Press Register in Mississippi, which a Chancery Judge, Crystal Wise Martin, ordered removed.... We view this judicial overreach as an abuse of power, a blatant violation of constitutional rights, and a dangerous precedent that must be resisted."
I have been so excited since I found out this would be announced today! RIP any ability for me to concentrate: www.apple.com/tv-pr/news/2...
This is like when Emma Thompson got the screenwriting Oscar for Sense and Sensibility and she talked about going to Jane Austen's grave and telling her about the box office results for the movie in Uruguay
Post by @soit_goes: "ICE has taken 35 of 2,000 people they were trying to deport into custody. They are blaming community defense efforts for their lack of success. Keep it up y'all."
Share away! Let’s break the pretend law.
We've been doing the Project for Awesome since way back in 2007. I don't think we've ever raised $100,000 before the p4a even began! Thanks to everyone who has already donated.
You can get loads of amazing stuff--including new writing from hank and me. projectforawesome.com/donate
Just realized I never introduced myself here. Hello! I’m Kate, a Louisiana based block printer. I have been an independent artist for about 7 years, before that I was a scientist. I love exploring the intersection of folklore and the natural world . . . especially swampy wildlife.
This is EXCELLENT fucking news, omg!!! This means the legal actions ARE effective still!!!
Not to worry, weavers, Jacquard looms are mentioned in here, too 👇
The fact that I feel actual relief over the American Bar Association openly acknowledging this assault on the rule of law…the bar is below the floor
When we unionized a few years ago, a lot of peanut gallery types on social media wanted to tell me it would be the end of Wired.
Hope it’s now clear (thanks mostly to our insanely talented and hardworking politics team) that it does not work that way.
Unions are good.
- racist DOGE guy (redundant) canned
- federal judge upholds birthright citizenship
- another judge blocks voluntary resignation
- NY state going to court over treasury business
- patel put on ice for at least a week
Something the "so you think the law means anything now" doomers fail to grasp: the importance of buying time. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, has infinite resources and infinite capacity for managing complexity.
Make your opponent work. Make their every decision complex and their every move costly.

USAID matters. I've often disagreed with their strategy and choices, but their work saves more lives than any philanthropy can. It's a rounding error in the federal budget, and one of the best things we do as a country. To see it destroyed overnight by one unelected man is an unmitigated horror.
