Mutual aid needed. Frances is an incredible voice for the Native community, for her People, standing up against racism and hate. If you can help, even just a little, it will go far towards securing housing and safety. Please donate if you can 💙

Bread and Jam for Frances #MUTUALAID💸💕

I've been housing insecure for months. I found an apartment but need help for rent/deposit. I can handle monthly if I can get the first $1500 payment. Anything helps. I'll hug you the next time I see you. Pay QR codes below. Mvto!

No one else we know has had our experience. Odd, indeed

Then loungewear they remain

One of the curious side effects of my wife and I having our gall bladders removed was that we swapped personal thermostats. I used to hate bedclothes and blankets while she bundled up 9 months of the year. We’re opposite now. Funny

And the refusal of governments to adequately fund public education means that the distrust has some merit

All upper chambers, Lords, Senates, etc. are based in a distrust of the average citizen.

the house of lords should be abolished in its entirety and replaced with a democratically elected second chamber.

Mark Sewards MP @markjsewards.bsky.social · 20h

No one should serve in the Houses of Parliament because of the family they were born into. It’s time for Hereditary Peers to go.

Despite the best efforts of the opposition, we voted again to remove Hereditary Peers from the House of Lords.

Especially for the deep, deep peace of the double bed after the hurly-burly of the chaise-longue.

And why is it called “The Independent” if it’s clearly not capable of independent thought?

When I started at Bell-Northern Research, some documents were still assembled by placing graphics on the reserved blank spaced after going through the wax roller to anchor them. Literally cut and pasting

Liquor store run before Thanksgiving. If we don’t use it all, Christmas is coming. There’s always an occasion.

For no good reason, I am reminded of: “A classics professor goes to a tailor to get his trousers mended. The tailor asks: “Euripides?” The professor replies: “Yes. Eumenides?”

The relentless assault on my character daily, for years, is taking a toll. Honestly I think I’m doing pretty damn good in the midst of it finding joy daily, and showing up for my family and job as always.
