As it should be. #Books 🥰

Title: How I Spend Money
Artist: Sarah Andersen
Starts with person only spending on basics and finding bargains, until they walk into a bookstore, when they morph into wearing furs and shades, and throwing money in the air.

Sad to see that many folks on social media are blaming victims.
This is such a crucial time--please read this important thread:

Preorder Read This When Things Fall Apart @mskellymhayes.bsky.social · 6d

Y'all who keep lecturing protesters to "not give them an excuse" need to pause for a minute. Imagine yourself telling a DV victim, "Be sure not to mouth off or make any mistakes so he won't hit you. Don't give him an excuse! It's what he wants!" That's what you fools sound like.

Fun facts:
Charles Shultz was my ice skating coach when I was a kid 🥰 He was truly one of the kindest souls. And yes, I had a Dorothy Hamill haircut.

When Charles Schulz's distributor pressured him to eliminate Franklin from "Peanuts" because he might offend pro-segregation Southerners he told him: "Either you print it just the way I draw it or I quit. How's that?"

INCLUSIVENESS IS WHAT MAKES AMERICA GREAT

Peanuts cartoon is of Franklin (on the left) and Pigpen (on the right) shaking hands.

I know all the FFXIV creators just hopped on the GW2 train, so they have all their thoughts out there...

But I've been playing since the pre-launch betas and have played every expansion since.

Guild Wars 2 is great and absolutely worth it.

Defense Sec. Pete Hegseth has shuttered the Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Services, created in 1951 to expand women’s roles in the military. The Pentagon said it doesn’t fit his “warrior ethos.” That’s a disgrace to every woman who has served.

Sadly, the ones I know actually continue to get off on it all, treating it like some kind of sick reality tv show.

We have such an exemplary governor.
Local elections really, really matter, especially now.

Gov. Bob Ferguson @governorferguson.bsky.social · 21d

The real victims in the Trump Administration’s cruel attack on reproductive rights are Washingtonians who will lose their health care provider.

Washington will step into this temporary gap to ensure women continue to have access to critical health care.

WA will replace Planned Parenthood’s lost Medicaid funding with state dollars • Washington State Standard

Washington state will backfill lost Medicaid dollars for Planned Parenthood after a court ruling last week.

This shows the power of the people. Disney was hurt by a massive backlash. Now every corporation understands that if you submit to Trump, we are coming for you. Now the companies get they have something to lose so they might as well fight back!
