I’ve never ordered from them! Thanks for the suggestion!

The Great Thread Road. Trading good black thread for 1/4” elastic, flower-head pins for snaps.

Oh right. Joann’s Fabrics was pushed out of business, and now my only options are a local shop with a narrow window of open hours I can’t get to easily, or Amazon. Great.

It’s the middle of October. How is it possible that I’m out of black thread? How?

Oh hey, I got you! Contribute to strike funds, show up to help at a soup kitchen, bring water/coffee/soup to the folks on a picket line, offer to host local organizing meetings in your home, let folks know you’re in support. For starters. And thanks!

Hold on….if he lays off enough of the US, do we just roll right into a general strike?

If you see any post online saying that the #IRS is sending you inflation/stimulus payments, that is absolutely untrue.

We are shutdown. There will be no checks coming from the IRS.

Is there a stimulus check for 2025? Track IRS refund status, relief payments, tariff rebate

What to know about stimulus checks 2025 status, IRS $2000 direct deposit, ANCHOR, inflation check, IRS where's my refund, and track by social security

I had a feeling that’s how it was. It’s nice to hear it, though.

MegueyB @megueyb.bsky.social · 7h

Thanks IRS. I actually love you too, because I want my taxes to go towards roads and schools and national parks and science research and healthcare for everyone who needs it and other things we actually need.

Another last night, about try to get someone out of a camp.

For Indigenous Peoples Day, why not just watch Rumble and get to know Link Ray. Then goggle John Trudell and just listen to him.

I can’t believe I’m actually thinking about making plans to watch the Super Bowl and Bad Bunny’s half time show in February, but here we are.

I wish they would go bite someone else, y’know?

I’ve had TWO stress dreams about the CIC recently. In one of them, I had to set up his phone, & was trying to figure out how to enable parental controls to keep him off social media; in the other, I was trying to get the facts in a document right, & he was making edits that undid my work as I went.

Soon I’ll be back to the “it’s only 1 AM, surely there’s some small scrap of humanity and justice somewhere to be found, so I can think about that and not grind my teeth in my sleep!?!?” phase.

Welp, I’m officially in the “gosh, it’s already 8:45, I should be getting to bed” phase of my desire to avoid the news cycle and thereby have a decent night’s rest.

If you were affected by this, please let me know. I may be able to help you file a discrimination claim with Massachusetts state.

Fenway was under no legal obligation to stop providing care. This was cowardly capitulation.

“We didn’t cross the border, the border crossed us” is such common and tragic thing.

On Indigenous Peoples Day, we amplify the call for landback to indigenous people worldwide!

You do indeed have a right to be angry, especially in the face of injustice.

you have a right to be angry

Drawing of Little My, a small girl in a red dress, sliding down a hill. She is drawn by Tove Jansson from the Moomin series. The text reads: "WHEN you're angry, then you're angry," thought Little My, peeling her potato with her teeth. "Sometimes you have to be angry. Every little creature has the right to get angry."

Hearing just now of @robowieland.bsky.social 's passing. We chatted last week, planning a longer conversation, and this is such a shock. May his family be comforted by knowing how much he will be missed and remembered far and wide, and may his memory be a blessing.

MegueyB @megueyb.bsky.social · 2d

Blocking out time for this would 100% NOT make it happen, I can tell you that!
