As we approach the midterms, remember that the Alt National Park Service is a merch sales operation claiming without evidence to be a group of federal employees, and is not a genuine source of news about elections of any kind. Please get your election info from a local, reputable source.

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

it is shocking that more people in perimenopause don’t simply walk into the woods

Given the bullpen struggles this year, adding a pitcher named BUMMER seems just right

Salvador Perez is the fifth active player to lead a franchise in career home runs, joining: Mike Trout LAA Giancarlo Stanton MIA Pete Alonso NYM Manny Machado SD

You've got company, George! Salvador Perez has tied George Brett for the Royals all-time home runs record!

At this difficult time I think we can all join hands, close our eyes, keep silent for a moment, and agree that Sam Neill really had it going on.

Why I love my little city

You're not longing for the 90s, you just want to solve mysteries while having sexual tension with Gillian Andersen. It's a universal feeling.

I just saw a group of about 20 senior citizens, several using wheelchairs or walkers, posted up on a busy street in front of their assisted living community all holding “No Kings” signs and it made my day. They may have a hard time attending a larger protest so they made their own ❤️

Chili and cinnamon rolls is a top tier winter meal, will die on this hill

Lawrence has been swept with reports of possible ICE sightings, including a video that shows people wearing ICE gear handcuffing someone at the corner of 25th and Iowa Streets. lawrenceks.news/4tFwt0F

I went on ravelry earlier to look for a pattern to make for a gift for my neighbor and here are the top trending patterns. The crafters are activated and we’re angry

I broke my ankle and have a little knee scooter to help get around the house and the dumdum cat follows it around and it’s like she *wants* to get run over

This entire weekend

I’ve been taking a beginning wheel throwing class at my local arts center and I’m so proud of my weird pottery and learning a new creative hobby has been so good for me and I’m taking the class again in the spring ❤️

The baking begins. Pumpkin basque cheesecake and pecan pie. The struggle to not taste a slice is real

If you need a little something sweet to take to any thanksgiving / Friendsgiving meals this week I cannot stress enough how delicious and relatively easy these are. Wrapping them individually is a little tedious but otherwise they stick together. smittenkitchen.com/2012/10/appl...

Gold for Garcia! Maikel Garcia brings home his first Gold Glove Award!

PAINT ME LIKE ONE OF YOUR FRENCH-CANADIAN GIRLS

@mollyknight.bsky.social position player pitching alert! White Sox catcher is pitching the 8th inning 😆

When it finally cools off and the Woofing Window is opened for the first time in months 🤍

With all the talk of Texas gerrymandering, look at what they did with Kansas. I live in the easternmost green part of this map, they purposefully lumped my blue city with all of western Kansas. My rep lives 6 hours away and will NEVER come here, or care

I’ve long admired @amyraehill.bsky.social art and the yarn bowl I commissioned is just perfect ❤️

Today Zoe celebrates 15 murderous years of life. We marked the occasion with a vet visit since she’s having some kitty problems (nothing too serious at this point pending labs). Happy Birthday Murder Kitty

I’m on my couch hugging a 70 lb dog and singing her “Morning Snugs” song (to the tune of “No Scrubs”)

This morning on my run I saw the local neighborhood cybertruck and I know he saw me do a very broad, exaggerated double thumbs down at him and it powered me through mile 3 😆😆

Happy day after Easter. I just disposed of six very dead, very small baby bunnies. I suspect the neighborhood cat is the murderer; Lily would eat the evidence and Abby wasn’t out much yesterday due to storm anxiety. *Lily and Abby are dogs not people, the murderous cat doesn’t belong to me

I will always hold it against the fake money people that they appropriated “crypto” from cool things like your Sasquatches and Mothmans. They should have called their dumb shit something like Goofbux

A freshly laundered blanket brings all the dogs to the couch

I do appreciate how creative humans are and how they can make songs about the fall of democracy that really slap

It’s Midwestern Law that if you go to the store the day before the Chiefs Super Bowl these items are automatically placed in your cart 😆

Have shoveled a dog path out back (3 separate times) but ignoring the 2’ drifts out front for now.

Kansas is closed

The library is so busy right now. I’m pretty sure the weekend forecast has something to do with that.

Happy Early New Year. I’m staying up late for once because I adopted a very nervous dog 6 months ago and I have Firework Enthusiasts 🙃 who live behind me and I’ll just get woken anyway by a panicked dog at midnight. Le sigh.

My sister @istillmisspluto.bsky.social 3-D printed me a lil dumpster fire and I feel like this is the energy 2025 is going to bring.

When you accidentally drop the pie shield into the pie while taking it out of the oven 😆 #PobodysNerfect

One cat demands I stay still, two dogs very much want walkies 😆

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Anyone else arguing with their pets about whether or not it’s dinnertime? 😆 if I was in charge there would be no daylight saving time!

🧵Next week, you will see people using something called Benford's Law to try to prove election fraud. ⛔️These people are wrong⛔️ I am a scientist who has published on Benford's Law. Let me tell you what it is and why what they are doing is mathematically incorrect. 1/

Turned off my phone tonight and went and saw my local community theater production of Hedwig and the Angry Inch. 100% recommend.
