Portland Letter Carriers Union has passed a resolution saying that its members are committed to reporting any ICE sightings to local rapid response groups: “As you know, letter carriers are on every street, every day. So we’re a big set of eyes and ears.” 💌

Aw crap. I just realized that going back to bed means I have to close the blinds and curtains, move some clothes off they bed (they were on my chair), and put my cpap mask on. Sleep, but at what cost?!

I think I'm going to abandon my desk and lie back down? Idk. My head hurts. Love this about me.

Ugh, I now have the "I didn't sleep long enough" headache, but the alarm goes off at 730am and I'm not even sleepy. Fuck my manic brain. (I'm fine, I just am overly alert as a baseline.)

Look. Invading our own country is about as straightforward a case as you can have for impeachment. The GOP abandoning the Constitution is kind of the only story there is and it gets no coverage.

Guys. I just had a crazy idea. What if the President DIDN’T deploy troops in American cities. Just a thought. Have we tried that before?

Sure, I woke up at 3am, and got up at 4am and now it's almost 6am? But I also drank some decaf, which is just enough caffeine to put my back to sleep. Maybe. We'll see.

forum wars took over the government. the 10,000-page thread spilled out into the streets. people are getting their doors blown open and hogtied so that nerds can win an online argument. they tanked the dollar and fucked the economy permanently to own you

Watching Jay, I realize I am simply exhausted by folks in positions of leadership who are driven to distraction by critique.

If you can't function with critique and pushback, a leadership position is not for you.

Leadership REQUIRES you to absorb and process the critique of stakeholders.

So let me get this today’s drama right:

* Jay followed noted transphobe Jonathan Chait
* Blacksky user Link pointed that out that’s fucked up after the past week
* Link was banned on Blueskys appview presumably by Jay
* But Link is also hidden from Blacksky b/c it still uses said appview

Oh sorry - lol. You mean the person. But at this point, isn't both true?

I voted in this and didn't realize they tied in the two data points. Plus, they always ask for household, not individual income, so I can't help but wonder.

I have an ebook buying addiction. Google Play Books has so many sales, that it's like giving candy to a baby. Plus I can upload copies of my old saved fanfic and 2010-era m/m romance books to have on the go. I honestly buy more mainstream fiction and non-fiction there.

Imo you could explain a lot of Tumblr's sexual politics through this.

I've been seeing this dress by Almee Couture at NYFW 2025 reblogged all the fuck over on Tumblr and..... oof. Ugh. Yeah, since I've kind of been on the subject of art in fashion, it's time to get my fashion analyst hat out.

The only time I'm on here is when I wake up before dawn and get on my laptop. I uninstalled the app bc all I did was doomscroll. Anyway, I hear this place is turning into X 2.0. How's that working out?

samati @samati75.bsky.social · 19d

They're banning links? Ugh this fucking place - just like the others. Why can't we have nice things?

The Government is now shut down, but apparently nobody called the school in the Bronx that had come to the Capitol for their tour today, so they're getting the treat of a lifetime since AOC agreed to give them the tour herself!
I’m loving this for all of them!

and the thing is, green energy is our future! China is already outpacing us because they realize the shit works and is worth investing in! We’re being held hostage by a death cult who never moved past the racist black and white teevee shows meemaw had on the box set!

It’s all so dumb!!
