Gavin Newsom says the Ds need to be more "normal" to win elections. This is an anti trans, anti LGBT dogwhistle. That is disgusting for a range of reasons, but also—Ds are winning tons of elections! It is not 2024! www.everythingishorrible.net/p/it-is-no-l...
It Is No Longer 2024, FFS
What year is it, Gavin Newsom, you fuck?

How I ended up with 4 dishbrushes over a 15 year period:
1st dishbrush starts to look a little gross so I buy a new one
1st dishbrush isn't hopeless so I deep clean it & keep it.
Both dishbrushes start to look a little gross so I buy a new one. The old ones are not hopeless so I deep clean them...

Texas Democrats just did something historic under the leadership of new state party chair @kendallscudder.bsky.social. We have filed a candidate in EVERY 2026 race.

U.S. Senate: 1 of 1
U.S. House: 38 of 38
State Senate: 15 of 15
State House: 150 of 150
State Board of Education: 8 of 8
We Did It, Texas Dems, We Did It
Candidates in every legislative, statewide, and federal race. Now it’s time to build power where it counts.

This is the best way tp describe Newsom I have seen
Gavin "I have one good idea for every three monstrous acts I perform" Newsom is in the news demanding that Democrats be more "socially normal", and this one is definitely not ending up in the "good idea" bucket.

It's just a new way to spin the failing "embrace the center", but there's a fun twist.

In honor of the unjustly banned Link, I invite folks to post their mutual aid below this thread. I will repost need as long as I am able.

As the holiday season approaches, and temperatures drop, mutual aid is going to become more important.

Consider giving what you can. If you can't, repost.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

Guys, do not use the Discord Checkpoint thing (Discord's attempt at Spotify Wrapped).

It requires enabling them access to scrape your data, and has an alarming amount of private data being used for it.

Make sure you have these disabled.

The one year anniversary of Yoon's failed martial law takeover just passed and lots of untold stories came out proving that THE ONLY REASON KOREA IS STILL A FREE COUNTRY IS BECAUSE PEOPLE DISOBEYED ILLEGAL ORDERS.

The coup was over in hours because people said no.

I had this book when I was little. My mother tried to wean me off little golden books into proper chapter books at a ridiculously young age but I was mesmerized by the art (I wasn't sure I _liked_ it but I had to look at those books all the time)
Years ago, after doing some deep searching for vintage children's book art, I found a collector who had acquired most of the original artwork of J. P. Miller's The Brave Little Tailor, a LGB from 1953. Fantastic work. Here's the cover.

The original art is in the following 🧵...
