Please, I beg of you, vet links before you post them. I've seen some major fakes lately, and they're not that hard to identify if you take a couple of minutes to check them. Misinformation is bad no matter who posts it.

Spouse and I just voted absentee in person. It felt so good to mark straight ticket for #Alabama #Democrats. And no chance of last minute shenanigans by the cheater in the White House. #VoteBlue2026
Fuck you, @repmarcykaptur.bsky.social, and your "transgender ideology" bullshit. If you can't win without attacking my kid and other trans kids, you deserve to lose. #TransRightsAreHumanRights thebuckeyeflame.com/2026/09/17/m...
Please, Democratic candidates, plaster his statements all over your campaign ads. This man does not give a damn about our military. He doesn't give a damn about anyone but himself. www.thedailybeast.com/trump-gives-...
Rick Scott thinks it's okay to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt for exercising his constitutional right to avoid a perjury trap. I guess ol' Rick forgot about all the times he did the same after his company was caught committing Medicare fraud. www.rawstory.com/rick-scott-f...

Who's gonna tell him the Supreme Court can't overturn a constitutional amendment?
Alabama House Speaker Nathaniel Ledbetter called on the courts to overturn the 14th Amendment. Unfortunately, no one followed up to ask him which part he objected to. (Read more here: joycevance.substack.com/p/rememberin... )
Good grief, it looks like a water ride at Six Flags.

This sounds like the plot of a horror movie. IMO, a 12 year sentence isn't long enough. www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

No. Hell no.
Americans canβt afford housing, health care, or groceries, but Trumpβs using taxpayer dollars to build his own arch.

I really wish @rawstory.com would stop using the word "racial" when this is clearly straight up RACISM. www.rawstory.com/jacob-lang-t...
Happy First Contact Day to all who celebrate. If the Vulcans could see us now, they'd never help us perfect warp drive.
According to my cats, the whole world was made for them. β₯οΈπββ¬
Lasers were a huge scientific breakthrough and now we use them to play with cats. Computers were also a huge scientific breakthrough and now we use them to look at pictures of cats. In other words, science was made for cats.
Aren't cost overruns his excuse for prosecuting Jerome Powell?
UNREAL!! Trump plans to spend $550 million on White House residence renovations! Americans can't afford health insurance, groceries, gas and more. But "King" Trump is going to spend a half BILLION dollars in our money to make his palace look nicer! IMPEACH & REMOVE! www.politico.com/news/2026/04...
#Knitting and listening to #BadBunny - a nice way to spend a Sunday morning when the pollen count is too high to go outside. Spring in #Birmingham. *sigh* #KnitSky

Obscure pet peeve: actors portraying conductors who have no idea of the pattern or the beat. Takes me right out of whatever I'm watching. #MusicNerd
Amen to this! I quit Amazon a while back, and I love Bookshop.org.

@timmiller.bsky.social re #Alabama gubernatorial candidate Ja'mel Brown and his list of issues, you should check out the history of the state's ban on the sale of sex toys, passed by accident but defended to the death by former AG Troy King. It's a hoot.

Please do tell me what *Charlie* Kirk's qualifications were? He never served in the military. www.rawstory.com/erika-kirk-j...
βIf your husband was just murdered and you had a 1 and 3 year old at home who are trying to cope with never being able to see their dad again, would you want to become a CEO, do dozens of public speeches and interviews, and join the Air Force Academy Board at a time like that?"
Swap out "husband" for "wife" and none of these people would say a word. I can smell the misogyny from here. (I can't believe I'm defending Erika Kirk, but this is a bunch of crap.)
Every accusation is a confession.
A Black man was convicted of murder despite no physical evidence. Even Gov. Kay Ivey thought the case was suspect enough to commute his death sentence. Turns out his court appointed attorney was a Klan member. Read @leehedgepeth.bsky.social for more. #Alabama www.treadbylee.com/p/klonsel?ut...

βItβs not just about the trees, itβs about the peopleβ: Why looking southward for tree species that can handle the climate a city will have in 50-100 years matters for the residents there.
Jesus Christ, he's talking about the f*cking ballroom. He's a sociopath.
Context: it's a military medal ceremony, and he's going on about how great the drapes are. I just can't.
My latest finished project: a knitted scarf for our youngest, who moved up north last month. #KnitSky
No imagination required, unfortunately. The people of the Middle East are living it.
Imagine if whether you lived or died depended on whether an old senile and malevolent man got annoyed by a segment on CNN or if thereβs another news story about a minor development in the Epstein Files?
Oh, for God's sake, @npr.org, don't fluff Katie Britt. She may or may not be a MAGA true believer, but she's willing to support Trump's agenda and lie to her constituents to stay in power. She doesn't deserve this soft soap treatment. www.npr.org/2026/02/27/n...
I'm a #knitter trying at my advanced age to learn to #crochet. My 79 year old teacher, who has been crocheting longer than I've been alive, tells me to practice, so I'm making little stitch samplers every day. Progress is slow, but I'll get there. π§Άβ€οΈ #KnitSky #CrochetSky
The first few rows are always the hardest. Making a chain with equal size links throughout seems beyond me at this point. And it doesn't help that I'm a leftie, so everything is a mirror image of what I'm supposed to do. π Still fun!

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the TaΓnos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous
I love you, @katiephang.bsky.social!
