Basically. Business as usual + a pantry briming with extra water & dried goods.

Here's an Audio Voters' Guide for people in Tacoma and Pierce County. Give in a listen, make sure you get your ballots in early, and verify it was received on the county auditor's website. Remember, bad things happen when good people don't vote. open.spotify.com/episode/6z99...

For real.

My short stint at the pro shop for the sports complex across from my university. 🎾 Somewhere between 2-3weeks.

Merriam Webster out here fighting for its life

Anthropic banning “abusive or cruel behavior” toward Claude in its new usage policies is proof to me that tech companies are going to moderate violence against AI before they ever moderate violence against women and minorities

Any other recs are welcome!

Had such an amazing conversation with @scrawfordobrien.bsky.social Her new book brings such hope in this dark time.

For anyone that's ever stepped foot at Starfire and has seen the hard working groundskeeper working tirelessly, this is your turn to step up for him. Antonio was detained by ICE and his family doesn't deserve this. Please donate to help support him and his family. www.gofundme.com/f/help-bring...

For my money, Josh Johnson is the most talented entertainer on Earth right now. You read about something in the news and he's got a set up on it the next day. He's doing MULTIPLE unique 45 minute sets every week. youtu.be/MCt-DpBM5a4?...

🎙️After a few interviews with travel pros, we decided to share our own takes & a few travel hacks from friends. Fun, silly and informative episode! open.spotify.com/episode/5hH5...

Thinking of teaching Kafka's The Metamorphosis. Any hot takes on the meaning of the text, resources I should tap into or fun ways you experienced the story back in the day? All ideas welcome!

Adding to my TBR list 📚

🎙️This week, we take on Insecurity Maxxing and all related nonsense. Who better to discuss this than two IWLs and a local bookseller. open.spotify.com/episode/6Kdv...

Welcome Back week for staff has begun! It's really surreal swapping lockdown drills for missile alert drills. 🫣😞 Thanks America.

Latest travelogue about my girls trip to Wisconsin (and Gary the Groundhog). 🦫🦦 🐿️ www.bowlingsabroad.com/blog/the-oth...

Where's the lie...

I forget what a ride Jackson's books are AND how she capitalizes on current events in real, thought-provoking ways. I'm obsessed!

Easy buy, thx!

Just dropped the latest IWL podcast with guest @traytono.bsky.social who joined our efforts to make sense of the 2026 SCOTUS rulings. We rang that shame bell 🔔 🔔 🔔 a few times! open.spotify.com/episode/1C4X...

And we continue to find new lows from this administration...

This whole halftime show was created by Chatgpt. Made zero sense. Poor transitions. Mediocre use of the best parts (Muppets).

I'm confused by Cruise with a windblown boy is giving a speech at the start of this important game. Like whaaaat!?

One thing I've learned this summer is I'm terrible at identifying furry ground animals. Currently in the Canadian Rockies with my parents. This doesn't look like Gary the Groundhog from Wisconsin. So, who or what is this little dude?

shoutout the chucklefuck pundit who insisted once that “environmental racism” was a nonsense term

ICE is surging in the Seattle area. (Map shows activity in the last week) Do you have your whistle with you?

Misogyny strikes again. 🙄🤬

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

For America's 250th, I read Frederick Douglass’ speech, “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” on the House floor—for the first time in history. His speech endures as a mirror & mandate for us all—to confront our inequities while fighting for an America as good as its promise.

Y'all got to stop expecting intellectual consistency from people who have repeatedly demonstrated they only care about power

Sam Alito: It is the worst kind of discrimination to create majority-minority congressional districts and so we are going to kill the Voting Rights Act. Also Sam Alito: There is nothing we can do if the president cancels legal status because he thinks the United States is a white country.
