I started doing art Sundays with my cheap art supplies to mentally prepare myself for my writing week.

Most are probably just going to be musicians because I like watching concert footage 😂❤️
Food network, when I catch you.....

I can't believe The Kitchen was cancelled 😭

I know it can feel futile to contact your GOP reps in Congress but MTG has already defected on the subsidies. There’s space to push. Tell them your life depends on these subsidies. Tell them to protect the ACA and open the government.
This is why Republicans shutdown the government. Because they refuse to extend the ACA subsidies that expire at the end of the year. With open enrollment starting at Nov 1, marketplace insurers can no longer wait to publish rates. With alt text.

I don't think ya'll are fully grasping the fallout of no EBT/WIC.. grocery stores depend on that. WalMart literally was paying folks terrible wages and forcing employees to use it. Rural areas will be hit the hardest.. easy to look at inner cities.. but those folks are the majority users.
I saw an article mention that it was unknown why the robbers didn't take a particular diamond and I was wondering if any of them had ever watched a heist movie, like, ever 🫠

It's not a ceasefire if they're sending air attacks. What is wrong with everyone

No, it’s not a conspiracy theory: Your TV is probably spying on you. So is your fridge. Your doorbell, your security system, and your thermostat, too. The good news: You can turn that data collection off.

Smart TVs can track and catalog everything you watch. Here’s what you need to know — and how to turn off the function.

way too many people in the comments saying stuff like I'm worried about the healthcare but moreso about the fascism. sentencing disabled and low income people to death IS the fascism babe. the fact we haven't figured that out yet is how they keep getting away with it
it's fucking healthcare also man what the hell are you talking about
Beyond the costumes at No Kings, Democratic leadership may want to check the signs to understand the vibe of their base right now (hint: it’s not health care)

Can't make it in-person to a No Kings protest? Here are 2 alternatives:
1) Write/send letters to voters in consequential elections via @votefwd.bsky.social - votefwd.org/campaigns
2) Attend a virtual #NoKings rally via Zoom, organized by @rubyslippahs.bsky.social - www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

You gotta just block these accounts without interacting. They're doing this the night before No Kings so they can selectively grab quote posts and replies about how nasty people are being. It's extremely transparent. Just block and move on.
Yes, it does look like the government accounts joining Bluesky are real, including Homeland Security and the White House. They're tweeting about it on X.

Our federal tax dollars are being used to fund a network of government social media accounts that pump out disinformation 24/7. Even during a government shutdown. It’s definitely not essential work.

This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton.

I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.

Not only that. they NEED your attention. Deprive them of it and keep it moving.
i know the desire to fight with these sick freaks is strong but resist the urge and just block. it’s better for your brain.

My husband’s ballot came in the mail. Mine did not. I looked into why and…

I was purged from the voting roll.

OPUS DEI IS THE SCIENTOLOGY OF CATHOLICISM THEY ARE THE ONLY THING "THE DA VINCI CODE" GOT RIGHT THEY ARE AWFUL AND THEY ARE EVIL AND THEY HAVE ENORMOUS POWER AND THEY ARE INTEGRAL TO TRADFASH CATHOLICISM
BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV is set to effectively disband Opus Dei in the coming weeks.

This would be the most sweeping internal reform of his pontificate — and a dramatic continuation of Pope Francis’s legacy.
NEW: Pope Leo Set To Break Up Opus Dei
If Pope Leo does indeed approves a plan that effectively dissolves Opus Dei’s structure, it would be the most significant internal action of his short pontificate to date.

Made it even easier to see if you have this and access it if you do! Copy this into either your web browser or File Explorer address bar. It will take you right to that screenshot (or if it takes you to the main Settings window, you don't have that screen yet.)

BY THE WAY

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.

There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that.

No phones, no staff, nothing.

I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!
Johnson: "Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office. She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)
