I wish I could repost this 1,000 times cause, yup, they chose ignorance to cover their racism & sexism

I would like to title this post: "Why Trump Won"

Because the electorate is fucking stupid.
Yes, I blame the voters. There is zero blame for Biden or Harris in this. This is all on the media, and the voters. The voters CHOSE to be stupid, believe lies, and reject facts.

I want to punch whoever came up with the phrase "the customer
is always right" because the customer is wrong, like really fucking
wrong, 97% of the time.

Customer: "I want the tacos with the hard shells"
Me:" ma'am we don't serve hard shell tacos. We have a soft flour
tortilla or soft corn tortilla"
Customer: "Oh. Then I want the corn. Those are the hard shell ones right?"
Me:"no, ma'am, we don't serve hard shell tacos. We have flour or
corn tortillas"
Customer: "Flour or corn? So ... which ones are the hard ones?"

Customer: "Hey the lettuce from the salad bar doesn't taste right."
Me: "Uh sir we don't have a salad bar. That's the decorative kale for our salsa bar. It's not meant to be eaten"
Customer: "Well if it's not meant to be eaten why are you serving it ?! "
Me: "Sir, it's decorative. We aren't serving it."

Customer: "What's this extra charge on my receipt? Why are you charging me extra? I demand to talk to a manager !! "
Me: "Sir that's the tax, it's 5% in our state."
Customer: "No you're trying to steal from me, I'll have you fired!"
Me: "Sir, it says right there that it's the tax."

Good god, the list could go on forever...

Customer: "Are these bananas locally grown?"
Me: We are in Michigan."

Thousands of immigrants who paid into Medicare will lose coverage in 2027 share.inquirer.com/KF6AEG

They followed the rules & Trump punishes them for it. Typical.
No mention of refunds. 🤬
Jesus told us to help but all Republicans want is suffering.

Thousands of immigrants who paid into Medicare will lose coverage in 2027

New eligibility rules under Trump's "big beautiful bill" will cause victims of human trafficking and domestic violence, and other immigrants who are already enrolled in Medicare to lose coverage.

What a great library story! Even better than our boa constrictor!

In library 165, I asked librarians Gail & Kale for a juicy story about the library I could put on the internet. They did not disappoint! You'll never look at your board the same way again.

This is the size of my mom’s Shi Tzu Wicket. Where did you get your pattern?

Kate Marley @boudicca2017.bsky.social · 9h

What pattern do you use? My mom and her dog moved in with me and after I finish her shawl maybe I should do something for him

Look at the unrest and mayhem here.

We have some knitters here, they're going to add some knitters, they're calling it a knit-in, instead of a sit-in.

Nazis killed millions of people who were NOT Jews. Millions of Russians and other prisoners of war. LGBTQ, Roma, blacks, the disabled, the elderly.
People need to remember that

US strikes another vessel off Venezuela coast, killing six

President Trump said the vessel belonged to "narcoterrorists" and that it was "trafficking narcotics." US officials have not provided evidence to this claim.

It’s such a weak & corrupt court on the Republican side; especially the Chief Justice. Very little integrity
