Even aside from the popular video with the flag waving I definitely saw signs with Palestinian flags on them (maybe they're only counting literal fabric ones?)

I don’t think someone who gets anything tattooed on their body without knowing what it is is intellectually qualified to be a United States Senator.

I'm so psyched to watch them, I'm just continuously jealous they're so superior to our local option!!

Watching games two days late on ESPN+ is its own kind of relaxing, really just a customer service to save everyone the stress of not knowing the end

A coworker from another department shadowed me today and I was reminded how it delights so many non-catalogers to learn that we measure the books. It's possibly the least interesting part of a catalog record to me and people are so fascinated by it!

Learning to use singular “they” is an effort made out of kindness and is the right thing to do.

Learning to use hyphens instead of em dashes due to AI is done in fear and is wrong.

I've never seen this at a gathering, celebration, or potluck since moving here but I am ready to be the change because it looks delicious

Layered strategy involving many different interconnected actions and ways to serve that help funnel people into activities they can support are good, actually.

A college friend's town is having a no kings rally plus harvest festival today and I thought "oh some Bluesky ghouls are suddenly furious without even knowing why" when I saw the post. What a nice day that would be, though!

folks can complain about the effectiveness of scheduled orderly mass protest but to think about it another way its the closest thing we have to the opening scene of A Muppet Christmas Carol where all the muppets sing "there goes Mr. Dipshit, there goes Mr. Ass" to Scrooge and it clearly bothered him
