@robcrank68.bsky.social BirdOfTheDay is my favourite thing about social media. Don't know why I keep forgetting how varied & amazing our feathered friends are, & also love seeing how different people interpret the daily themes. Appreciating beauty & finding others who do feels critical right now. 🙇‍♀️

:(

Literacy. Watching kids in Cuba/Mexico run, read, and kick a soccer ball all at the same time? 🏆 Me mum didna die from polio, got me a library card, & a bank account. Historian, so tend to think in centuries, not decades. But we got a bit better about letting people tell their own stories.

What some call "Hallowe'en" and write off as "just for kids" is a holy day for others. Leave a light on, for the absent ones, so they can find their way home.

"How do you know that?" Because I have an internet connection, frequent bouts of insomnia, and zero self-restraint regarding my unholy urge to answer a question with another question. I'll take "Next" for $1000, please, Alex.

Hardly aged at all.

BWAHAHA!

“An ‘apparent lack of patience,’ said one person familiar with the situation, appeared to be a factor.” My inner art historian continues to metaphorically crawl the bottom of a vat of vodka the size of which would make Olympic swimming pools jealous.

Excellent thread.

"Dems headed for success in the midterms, fueled by a swell of Americans who see Trump as a crook/but the president’s inner circle is going up in flames/and sinking in a cauldron of corruption and boneheaded policies." Finding myself agreeing w/Dowd must mean we're truly through the looking glass.

Every time I shut down our PS4, I give it a tiny pat, whisper to it sweetly, & blow kisses at it, saying, "You are the best console ever, and I want us to be friends until beyond the end of time." Here I thought it was the trade war w/US that would sink my chances of getting a PS5. Forget the 6.

Just when I thought this guy couldn't get any more unlikeable...

Vote'em out!

As Jesus clearly said, "Care not about your neighbor, nor feel his pain as your own, nor his suffering, but instead gather ye your coins and blessings and put your foot to his throat and not your hand to his outstretched arm."

Today, Albertans are voting in a stupid referendum that should have never been called. They’re actually right to be angry. They’re just directing that anger towards a distraction rather than a solution. Let me explain.

Josh Hawley staffer and political operative Tommy: You are supposedly a Christian. Have you disavowed Christian domestic terrorists like Timothy McVeigh, The Aryan Nation, the KKK, Eric Robert Rudolph, and Dylann Roof, etc., etc., etc.? If not, what are YOUR allegiances?

One of many reasons that he is my favourite Bond.

Head cannon: Steven Miller is the The Earl of Lemongrab, minus the vanishingly few wholesome moments that character(s) had. Adventure Time peeps know what I mean.

Yet another devastating school shooting in our country. Instead of pushing commonsense gun control to prevent tragedies like this in our schools, the Trump regime is spending our money on a war that kills children in schools abroad. SOMETHING NEEDS TO CHANGE!

If an amendment to your constitution results in children routinely being shot in school then it's time to amend it again.

Leaving Las Vegas For Tax Purposes.

Classic. GOP can't win, so they try to cheat. Then the rules bite'em in the ass.

Remember when Gaetz was 47's nomination for AG? Around the same time when Rubio was his least insane nomination, so let's confirm that guy so Dems can't be called "obstructionist"? Gaetz, Bondi, Blanche. My dark sense of humour is lurching towards M/F/K

"I believe that our education, like, such as in South Africa and the—Iraq everywhere, like, such as and I believe that they should—our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., or should help South Africa, and should help the Iraq, and the Asian countries." -- Miss South Carolina

🔥 @theconsciouslee.bsky.social on the targeting of @ilhanmn.bsky.social: “Rep. Omar had her house raided… If they can go after a congresswoman, what can they do to you?It’s an intimidation tactic, political theater right before the midterms… everything they claim Biden & Obama did— they’re doing.”

A thankless role, being the moral center of a show where everybody else got to break bad at least a little, but Mitte shined. BB doesn't work without Walt Jr being the one to truly protect his family in "Ozymandias" or screaming "YOU KILLED UNCLE HANK" over the phone in the finale. RIP.

We need more men like Dan Levy and fewer men like Shane Gillis. Stop being complacent. Stand up and call this shit out when it happens. www.instagram.com/p/DeYSYNXMcbH/

This is SUCH a crock of shite.

I turn my back on the news for five minutes...

Speechless over this evisceration of David Brooks. Had to be done.

Hypocrisy makes me break out in HIVES. And sadly, not a cool bee hive hairdo, complete with mini skirt and go-go boots (the ones Nancy wore, made for walkin'). The hives that would make your mom bathe you in calamine lotion, and tape oven mits over your hands.
