incredibly wonderful to have your cat sleeping so soundly pressed against you that she doesn't even wake up when you go to hold her paw

i now, however, have a fancy new toaster/oven/air fryer combo that also flips upwards to clear counter space which is great because my kitchen sucks and i have very little counter space

No Kings

there won’t be an inflatable costume left for miles around

Micah @rincewind.run · 1d

they are clearly trying to terrify everyone out of showing up to the No Kings protest and I simply do not think it is going to work

see you all there

Sen. Roger Marshall: "October 18 is when the protest gets here. This will be a Soros paid-for protest for his professional protesters. The agitators show up. We'll have to get the National Guard out. Hopefully it will be peaceful. I doubt it."

it's so confusing and as someone who has only actually played soccer and tennis but doesn't know anyone who follows soccer and tennis as an adult besides my dad who is not on bluesky, i'm all out of ideas

i want you to know that if i ever refer to something you're watching as sportsball, i am not trying to be dismissive, i follow cycling racing i get it, i just genuinely have trouble keeping track of which ball related sport is playing on which night

Now with #AltText

A black background has white text at the top that says “amphifa.” Two flags over each other, common antifa flags, have a black flag and a green one. An image of a green frog facing left with a blue ascot sits on the black flag. Circling the flags is the text, “amphibians against fascism.”
