I’ve discovered that feral Frank LOVES to get pat wet hands style! Sitting in my garden savoring the smell of lemon blossoms and periodically moistening my boy.

This kid is 15, and so has a moral clarity and uprightness that no adult elected official would or could ever have. There aren't really and never have been two sides of this issue, but if it has to be argued as a binary thing I don't see how anything less than this could seem like the side to be on.
this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...

RIP Joe Don Baker, who was an excellent actor! For real. He may not have been happy with MST3K but that’s fine, he had every right to not love puppets making jokes about him. Whomst among us can blame him? Anyway his great career speaks for itself. Rest well JDB.

Hasan Piker was detained by ICE and chose to talk to cops instead of shutting the fuck up.

If i had a dollar for every time a politician claimed mutual obligations exist because the community “expects” welfare recipients to “give back” by doing pointless bullshit and i said that’s because you’re telling them to expect it… i would not need a welfare payment
One problem with so many leaders today is that they don't lead. They base their policies & politics on voter perceptions- even if those perceptions are based on misinformation or fear campaigns- because it's "what voters want". It doesn't occur to them to actually lead by showing voters another way
Well they're fucking wrong and it's high time someone addressed that

The venue my sister chose for lunch today involved three very steep staircases, and friends, my foot and ankle hurt so much I can barely move my toes.

It's never too late to break up, quit, come out, move, transition, divorce, change your life, start something new. If you choose to stay with something that makes you miserable, you owe yourself a better justification than sunk cost.
If you’re over 30, quote this with some life advice 🤌🏼

@gregpak.net is right—we should bring back some kind of 1990s-style blogosphere.
Hosting our own sites, whenever possible or feasible, or using free + open-source platforms like @wordpress.org is probably ideal in today’s data/media landscape.

Hey I just wanna stress something that is always true but in this presidency and political climate is double triple quadruple true: no matter your industry, never ever ever trust HR. Confide in them nothing. You’re not disabled, you’re not trans, whatever. They are beholden to their bosses. Not you.

A friend messaged me today asking if I could come over and play with her kiddo because she was having a rough day, so I’ve spent the day being a human jungle gym for a 3 year old.
