I'm so sick of discourse from supposed allies about where trans people went wrong.

Where we "went wrong" is that billionaires spent unimaginably large sums to attack us repeatedly and major media outlets have spent a decade piling on.

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness

Barbara Howard and Melissa Schemmenti from Abbott Elementary. Barb is a Black woman, played by actress Sheryl Lee Ralph, wearing a yellow sweater and patterned blouse. Melissa is a white woman with red hair, played by Lisa Ann Walter, wearing a red peplum blouse. They are high-fiving with “I told you so” expressions.

Oh you're trying to say the cost of living is skyrocketing?

Donald Trump can't hear you over the sound of bulldozers demolishing a wing of the White House to build a new grand ballroom.

I think it’s been 20 minutes since I ordered and they finally finished our food but they’d put meat on my sandwich. 😔 they are at least remaking it instead of trying to just take the bacon off and give it back to me.

Yes, I think for many folks that goal has become lost in a lot of an anger and pain. And I think that makes it even more important for other voices to speak up, because it’s also very true if unfair that that’s the way you lose listeners.

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

The Obama Hope poster, but it's a frog and it says "Hop"

a good recipe blog might even have a published cookbook available (the one by cookie and kate is on my shopping list!)

Don't want to deal with basic internet use like finding the 'jump to recipe' and 'print' buttons on a web page? Buy a fucking cookbook (yes, they are pretty expensive because, again, recipe creation takes a lot of work and publish a lot more).

a SHORT email, five sentences, two were "Please use the attached file and send it back to me when you are done. I will combine the comments" and I STILL got asked this afternoon "should I combine these other people's comments for you" NOBODY READS

Katarina Hit 🐀 she/her @katarinahit.bsky.social · 11d

I know I sent kind of a long email but I also don't think people read anymore and I don't know if that's more Covid or AI 🙃

well a setback in my cheap cabinet refurb plans, it was simply impossible to find gold bamboo shaped cabinet pulls in the size I need for the large handles. It was almost impossible to find ANY pulls that size so I gave up and got plain ones from "MyKnobs" dot com, lmao
