Lots of accounts to follow here if you need to break up unhinged political posters
I would like to achieve the level of nerdy unhinged posting only known as "works for a small niche-interest British museum on social media"

This is really interesting. At the very least it should make the average person think about the usefulness of their posts/comments. Have a personality outside of politics and current events. It's for the greater good!

Apropos to a post I'm not going to quote: no, you are not fucking obliged to battle the fucking right on fucking social media, or go to where they are. Why make yourself miserable shouting at bots (who don't care) or trolls (who get off on your misery). Make your fucking social media enjoyable, FFS.

Annual holiday season refreshing of the cooler! Since we have a small business and ship year-round, and get deliveries year-round, we have snacks out year-round. A few times a year it gets a good scrubbing, fresh paint or caulk, and a new thank you sign.

Already found a store in town with this yarn and told him to sell it to the Hallmark guy. I'll make another on the way home.
My wife @cravescavesgraves.bsky.social made the scarf in the car on our drive over here and there's a Hallmark guy asking how much she'd sell them for. To be fair it's very cozy

Magaziner: How many US military veterans have you deported?
Noem: We have not deported military veterans.
Magaziner: We are joined on zoom by a gentleman who is an army combat veteran who was shot twice while serving our country. You deported him to Korea.

One of the most exhausting things about social media is getting a notification that someone you agreed with is trying to argue with you.

Anyone else get annoyed when everything in your Zillow search is ugly, even though you couldn't move right now if you wanted to? I couldn't even afford the house I live in if I had to buy it in 2025.

Playing around with a shamrock design since my kid just hit "Jesus take the wheel, feis are expensive" level in Irish dance. I might just sell them as appliques and let people decide how to use them. Easy to add a gift tag or ornament hook.
