All due respect @jamellebouie.net, it’s shit like this that has me tripping, not necessarily like a cancelled election declaration. The election shenanigans are already really bad down here and methinks they are about to get a lot worse.
BREAKING NEWS: Starting today, Georgia is canceling nearly half a million voter registrations in one of the largest voter roll removals in U.S. history.

Voting should not be a use-it-or-lose it right. Take 3 minutes to check your voter registration RN at weall.vote/georgia.

Slow roasting a pork shoulder at 300 degrees so I have an excuse to leave the oven on all afternoon. But it is a good excuse!

Senior Fellow at MMFA doesn't understand the difference between being a US Senator and the Mayor of a city. I wish I could be that inept and still keep my job! Unless your job is to undermine Democrats, in which case, nice work.

Shout out to the mayor of Miami Beach. You're the Asshole of the Day! You probably won't read this because Nazi's get their feelings hurt on Bluesky, and it sounds like you really lean Nazi. Just sayin!
A woman left a comment on Facebook criticizing the Mayor of Miami Beach,.

The Mayor of Miami Beach then sent the cops to her home.

For some reason, very few people these days will stand up and say it, but: the US federal bureaucracy is one of the great wonders of the world, staffed with incredibly diligent people who do their jobs well and care deeply.

Trump's destruction of the federal apparaus was a historic crime.
The Purged
Donald Trump’s destruction of the civil service is a tragedy not just for the roughly 300,000 workers who have been discarded, but for an entire nation.

Oh Bluesky Hivemind, I have a library in need of a home. I have hundreds of LGBT books with a trans focus that I inherited from IFGE in Waltham when they closed.
I'm moving and don't have space for them. They'd be great for an LGBT center or library. Who wants them? They're located in central Mass.

My life in rivers.

Mid career river: The Charles
Current river: The Patuxent (such a delicious name!)
Now: Catawba

Late 20s: Yadkin

Early 20s: East

My favorite Twitter prompt was "RT this with your home river," so reskeet this with your home river.

Mine is the Patuxent.

Xenophobia, homophobia, and transphobia are all misnomers.
Let me explain:
- Xenophobia. You're not 'afraid' of foreigners, you're just a cunt.
- Homophobia. You're not 'afraid' of homosexuals, you're just a cunt.
- Transphobia. You're not 'afraid' of trans folk, you're just a cunt.
Clear enough?
