So, wait, has NaNoWriMo rebranded as "Novel November", paid for by ProWritingAid, which used to be a spell/grammar checker but now is (you guessed it) an "'AI' grammar checker"--in short, yet another way for a griftslop machine to grab human-written text? Do I have that right?

I drove up behind a Waymo on the freeway today. Does anyone else think they look like hearses?

I was talking with my three year old about two piece bathing suits, and then she wandered off saying "Ma, I'm going to wear a zucchini." What's worse is that she also wants me to wear a zucchini, despite me telling her what happens with two kids crawling all over me in the pool.

Me: That's a big block village you're building 3yo: No, we're making a house for Kristof and he has a visitor and THEY'RE GONNA SHARE A BED!😁 Me: So there was only one bed? 3yo: YES! They sleep in the same bed. Kristof and his visitor sleep in the same bed all the time. My kids doing Frozen fanfic

For 10 seconds of fun in your life, when you're putting away the dishes, pretend you're a Vegas card dealer and the forks and spoons are the cards.

Hear me out: Guys and Dolls, but it's just Dolls. Dolls and Dolls. Molls and Dolls? Nominate your cast.

Not my best work, but felt like this was what's on the menu for Bsky today.

OK, I don't usually eat salad, but what if I planted a bunch of edible flowers and made a flower salad like a unicorn?

It seems a good day to remind people that in the UK 3 times as many people work in Indian restaurants or for McDonalds as in the whole coal and steel industry. 5 times as many are academic staff at universities. If Labour does not understand its electorate, there is no way to appeal to it.

Again this should inspire wall-to-wall media coverage for months. The crowning achievement of the Civil Rights Movement is dead. Black people just lost all of their remaining political power in the South. This is a monumental moment in American history that simply isn't being treated as such.

Remember when Obama showed "live footage of his birth" and it was the intro to the Lion King with his adult face photoshopped on Simba. Then he spelled it out for a certain birther that it was a clip from the Lion King.

You know, what if we reduced our oil consumption for the war effort? Or the effort for no reason for war? We'd really stick it to those middle eastern countries then. Patriotic, ĉu ne?

I want to take my kids to a Ren Faire fantasy day so we can be/see fairies but I need to think about my costume and I miss costuming and also I have low self-esteem at the moment. I'd appreciate costume inspo to reverse the downward spiral.

Something to remind you Its a world worth fighting for

Trump's attack on vote by mail isn't about integrity—quite the opposite. He knows vote by mail protects against all the well-known Election Day voter suppression tactics. This is all part of his effort to rig the upcoming November election. We can’t let him succeed. Save our Republic!

in my opinion there should also be trans day of audibility where everybody spends all day posting dope experimental music by trans women for me to listen to

When I did my taxes this year, Turbo Tax asked if I wanted to open a Trump account for my kids. The absolute gall.

CBS gonna boot up an ICE procedural series before 2026 is over

Petition to ban the word "tender" from blurbs about gay films. ISTG it's in every single one.

Welp. Seems like it's a good day to highlight trans books. I'll do this off and on all day, no idea how long the thread will eventually be. And if you need any trans book recommendations, post in here and I'll point you toward people who might know if I don't since I mostly do romantasy.

your primary relationship is with yourself. become aware of how you are with yourself throughout the day. silence the harsh inner voice, punitive tone. they have no place in emotional growth and wellbeing. loving your whole self as you go ~ mistakes and all ~ is your best response. always. 🙏🏻❤️

First you gut international refugee support, then you slam shut your own borders to anyone who isn't white or a millionaire, then you start a global conflict certain to increase refugees for decades. The Prophecy series was correct - devils need humans to come up with truly novel forms of evil

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

Contrary to what they want you think... Billionaires don't create wealth. Workers do.

I recently read a news piece about a small town and homelessness, which drew a distinction between "residents" and "the homeless" outside sleepers and I've got a newsflash: just because someone doesn't have permanent shelter doesn't mean they're not a resident. They live there too.

My kids arguing over who can have the last of the yogurt: "No, you can't!" "Yes, I can!" "NO! YOU! CAN'T!" Me: 🎶Anything you can do, I can do better! I can do anything better than you!🎶 My kids: 👀 👀 Another argument solved by musical theater! 🎭💃

The more ICE cracks down in L.A., the harder the resistance hits back—straight from L.A.’s underground punk and ska-punk scene, packed with Latino and Black skankers. Get in the pit and pick it up!

"“They’ve deputized police into the ‘show me your papers patrol,’” Thomas Kennedy, a policy analyst with Florida Immigrant Coalition, an immigration advocacy group, told HuffPost."

What does it profit a man to gain a $50,000 signing bonus and forfeit his soul? Ĉar kiel profitus homo, se li gajnus $50,000 kaj perdus sian animon?

You walk into this bar and show your ICE mugshot, you don't pay a dime.

Pro nuntempaj aferoj, mi petis ke miaj infanoj ricevus morbilan vakcinon pli frue ol kutime.

I'm just sitting here watching Mary Poppins with my kids and Mrs. Banks here is evergreen.

Posts from Minneapolis residents read like they'll be read in voiceover in a Ken Burns-like doc one day

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

Stalinism wasn’t only about secret police and show trials. At its core, it was about loyalty replacing competence. The military was purged of experienced leaders who were seen as insufficiently obedient, not ineffective.

Even a broken clock is right two times a day, but...
