Hi, Bluesky! If you already have a dressing recipe that’s your “if I don’t have my grandma’s dressing I’ll die” thanksgiving requirement, you should make that one and have a great Thursday.
If you don’t have one, now you have mine, with duck fat and focaccia. With all my heart, I hope you enjoy it.

so crazy to me that a woman asked trump if he has any words for epstein's victims and he said "you as a young woman should smile more." it will go nowhere bc republicans refuse to hold trump accountable, but it's still pretty crazy.

Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:
End the roving patrols and racial profiling.
Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.
Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

Guy who has made the last decade of his career entirely about dumping his bigoted political grievances on audiences and pretending it's comedy is mad.

There’s an Elbow lyric “you are the only thing in any room you’re ever in” and I can’t so much as type it without thinking about how lucky I am to have someone in my life I feel that way about

I closed my business tonight.
I’m not sad. I’m emotional, and I regret nothing, but sadness isn’t something I’ve considered for a second.
We did it by making a lot of food, giving it away for free, and asking everyone who came to throw cash in a plastic pitcher to support the fight against ICE.

skaters will not have this problem should they choose to skate with the universally beloved music of the Mountain Goats
I’m getting word that there are skaters having to fight music rights battles right now just days before the Olympics. We know Lauriault/le Gac has already made the decision to change their RD. Don’t be surprised if we get some other program changes in Milan

So I’ve maybe talked about this before but it’s important today: my husband, who is younger than me but like five years younger than me, has basically not seen any movie ever.
This is fucking fantastic.

along other potential outcomes, like DHS keeping a “derogatory” file on you, it sounds like your privileges will get quickly suspended. there’s a mention of this happening to a woman in NYT today.

It is of no shock to me that every single post in my feed right now is about Catherine O’Hara. No sports news, nothing, just a chorus of people I like saying the stuff I want to say.
One of the funniest motherfuckers ever to do it.

My 7yo daughter’s best friends’ family fled the country a few weeks ago. Today she came home with a drawing of her and another friend blowing whistles at ICE agents.
“We’re blowing the whistles and so ICE will go away and our friends can come back,” she said.
I started sobbing uncontrollably.
