Absolutely seething.

These cuts to the Department of Education staff are horrifying. We knew the Trump administration was going to attack disabled children and public education but to see it happen just reinforces the fact that

I hate Trump supporters with every fiber of my being.

Dude doesn't understand how federal laws work and he comes here incorrectly "well actually"ing me and then doubles down on his incorrectness.

Aimee @aimeeu2.bsky.social · 13h

You're incorrect again. When the Equal Credit Opportunity Act passed in October of 1974, it didn't take years for it become legal everywhere. It applied to all women across our country equally at that time.

Sorry not sorry that your memories don't outweigh actual facts.

Where were you? Oh I know, a random guy trying to tell me I'm wrong.

But I'm rude for correcting you? You can't be fucking serious.

Oh it was definitely true, but by the time SNL debuted, women could get credit cards.

It was 1974. Last I checked, '74 came before '75.

Amy Poehler's hosting SNL and in her opening monologue she says that when SNL debuted 50 years ago tonight, women couldn't even get credit cards.

And I'm like, uh, that's not correct.

Gotcha. They're lowest on my list too. But it's weird there's no team this year that I HATE.

I remember levies failing when I was a kid and it sucked; the feeling that grown-ups didn't care.

Doritos for some reason trigger my migraines, but I would throw caution to the wind and eat these

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

Broadview’s “free speech” curfew starts soon, at 6pm.

This reminds me of our daughter, except she was in love with Pittsburgh. Specifically the Children's museum there. But she also loves COSI and all the other family friendly places in Columbus

Kids don't need fancy, expensive trips. They just need quality time together.

Preorder Read This When Things Fall Apart @mskellymhayes.bsky.social · 1d

They're talking about killing leftist activists. They're talking about murdering people organizing in defense of immigrant communities, doing mutual aid work, and protesting their violence. They are talking about murdering people like me and my friends. We must do more than acknowledge it's fascism.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

For all the insufferable "well actually"s in the comments, it was a joke. 🤯

Aimee @aimeeu2.bsky.social · 1d

You know, I somehow grew up with the notion that family comes first, even though my brother saw me as a burden and my sister resented being related to me.

But here I am as an adult still putting "family first" and then getting hurt when no one does the same. Why do I do this?

Is it weird to say sorry for your loss about a celebrity?
