This is the vibe y'all. I don't care how small the election is, or how big the polling lead is. We go vote every time.

🚨EARLY EXITS: all your enemies are voting in high percentages and will get their way over the next four years unless you show up to the polls and bring several friends.

Very much looking forward to the day when being a sex pest is an automatic disqualification for elected office.

There are so many good, smart people out in the world, we don't need to tolerate anything less.

Gaba definitely messes with the brain. It's commonly used in dogs to make them less anxious and active. It's helping my pup who's recovering from surgery right now. But I had a previous dog whose anxiety was heightened, probably because he didn't understand what was happening and it freaked him out.

Always, but especially when they extended DST. It was still frickin dark when I leave the house at 7:45 AM last week.

ICE is planning to offer private sector bounty hunters cash bonuses for quickly tracking down the home addresses of immigrants across the US, according to a DHS document I reviewed. ICE encourages potential contractors to use "all technology systems available.” theintercept.com/2025/10/31/i...

ICE Plans Cash Rewards for Private Bounty Hunters to Locate and Track Immigrants

Companies hired by ICE would be given bundles of information on 10,000 immigrants at a time to locate.

"And one was a soldier, and one was a priest, and one was slain by a fierce wild beast: and there's not any reason - no not the least, why I shouldn't be one too."

Bruh, I'm not trying to be slain by a fierce wild beast. That's a reason right there. #TEC

And when my white friends who do use or have used SNAP call out their conservative friends and relations, the response is always "Obviously I don't mean you. You really need it. You're working hard."

Listen, am I good at art? No.

Does it stop me from doing stuff occasionally? Also no.

Poster for my Middle school tea and puzzles club, inspired by a post I saw here a while back and can't find.

On this day in 1864, Maryland’s new constitution freed African American slaves within our state. Today, we celebrate the heroes that resisted oppression and risked their lives bravely against the institution of slavery.

Two truths of Trick-or-treating:

1. If they show up at my door they get candy. I don't care if they're seven, seventeen, or seventy.

2. Left Twix is the superior Twix.

I'm pretty sure Clay Higgins hasn't purchased his own groceries in decades, if ever. Someone should send him shopping on a SNAP budget.

Rep. Clay Higgins of Louisiana blames SNAP recipients for not stockpiling a month's worth of food.

He ends his tweet with "stop smoking crack."

Rep. Clay Higgins:

There are 22 million American households receiving SNAP benefits for groceries, at $4200 per year on average.
Try to get your head wrapped around how many pantries you can stock with $4200 dollars in properly shopped groceries.
Any American who has been receiving $4200 dollars per year of free groceries and does NOT have at least 1 month of groceries stocked should never again receive SNAP, because wow, stop smoking crack.

Day 30 of President Trump’s Federal Government Shutdown:

In response to the President’s illegal refusal to deploy emergency federal funding to keep food assistance running, I am declaring a State of Emergency.

We will surge $10 million to food banks and food bank partners across the state.

A student brought me praying mantis egg cases, and a small aquarium to house them. Anybody know what I'm supposed to do with them? #entomology #science #edusky #gardening. (Using all the hashtags because my little account has no reach.)

Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming.
