Make the Republicans have to face their constituents sharing their concerns and how they are failing them. They will have to fight even harder against the narrative they are trying to spin and it will not look good to many who are already questioning this admin that voted for it. #GovernmentShutdown

@aoc.bsky.social get people in front of the camera (phone/ photos/ stories/ interviews) and have them share how the insurance hikes will impact them directly. We all have insurance issues and it will continue to bond all of us and show who is and isn’t fighting for us.

Requiring a donation of $25.00 for a food pantry should not be allowed. Forcing those already in need to fund overhead is wild work. I will scream about the lack of resources in rural communities as a social worker outside of exploitive churches.

How’s a person supposed to schedule normal life activities with a rapture coming up in just a couple days?

Do you operate as normal? Make plans and just ghost everyone? Pay bills or just risk it?

And is the day adjustable at all!?

You know what have a good trip I’m good here. ✌️

The illustrated cover of ZOMROMCOM by Olivia Dade, featuring the tagline: Love can make you lose your head. The background is a speckly bright purple, and in the foreground are a man dressed in black and a woman in bright pink overalls and a white tank top standing back to back and holding hands. He has a huge sword at the ready, and she is brandishing a shiny cleaver. All around them, clutching at them from the edges of the image, are bright green zombie hands.

Need a Monster Romance? I got you with some featuring a chubby love interest!

#FabulousFatFriday #PlusSizeReader #MonsterRomance #MonsterLover #Booksky

The image features an illustration with a soft green background. At the top, there are two lines of text “Fabulous Fat Friday Monster Love” Below the text are three women, dancing joyfully. On the left is a woman with long, light blonde hair, wearing a peach-colored dress. In the center, a woman with dark brown hair wears a light blue dress. On the right, a woman with dark brown, curly hair is dressed in a white dress. The women are depicted with their arms raised and dresses flowing, creating a sense of movement. In the top left corner, there is a cluster of white and pink flowers with green leaves, adding a decorative element to the image.

The image is a collage of ten book covers arranged in a grid against a muted green background with floral designs. Each cover features different artistic styles and themes:

"Sweet Vengeance" by Viano Oniomoh shows a romantic, shadowy scene with a woman embracing a figure with purple horns.
"Kings and Monsters" by Clio Evans depicts a man in a black suit alongside a large bear, with swirling blue and red background elements.
"Sink into Her" by Elaine J. Daniels has a couple enveloped in colorful clouds, creating a dreamy atmosphere.
"Bigfoot Boss" by Luna Cantrip features a woman relaxing with a large, gentle bigfoot character in a vibrant setting.
"Mixing up Mayhem" by Heather Nix displays a playful, animated kitchen scene with two characters.
"Escaping the Friendzone" by Emily Antoinette presents a cozy embrace between a woman and a large figure with horns in a dark setting.
"Yours, Insatiably- Aveda Vice shows a a femme person with tattoos and horns against a dark background.
"Washed Up (With a Kraken)" by E. J. Rook features a woman seated with a blue kraken on a sunny beach.
"Jockstraps & Newspapers" by Lizzie Strong displays a woman with her arm around a muscular, lion-headed man in sports gear.

Indiana has 4.7M registered voters. 47% are republican, 28% democrat.

Of the 9 districts, 7 are red and 2 are blue. Seems about right.

But Trump needs more. The Governor may gerrymander the remaining 2 leaving democrats with no representation in the House.

Seem right to you?

Canadian friends, this is a request for help. Now that I'm staying in this country, and specifically in the Peg, I'm gonna need winter clothes. Winter clothes for a large person.

Men's winter coats are shorter. Women's winter coats are, I'm told, of lesser quality.

This is all bullshit.
