Thank you to the 81M voters who elected Joe Biden president in 2020. It’s hard to overstate how much more precarious this moment would be if Trump was still in office, kowtowing to Putin and condemning Ukraine and Zelensky.

Both Rosa Parks and Claudette Colvin were “rebellious,” the white and black establishment BOTH looked down on them, and neither was the first Black person to refuse to give up their seat for a white passenger in Montgomery. The fight for equality and injustice was long and difficult and it was a collective struggle, not an individual one.

Christopher Latham Sholes received a patent for an invention he called the "Type-Writer" #OTD in 1868.

This was the first typewriter to be a commercial success (about 5000 were made), the first to use the QWERTY keyboard layout invented by Sholes, and the first to be called a typewriter; the term was coined by Sholes. via @Wikipedia

@renwillis I can see where the sadly cheaper, but just as cute, Iron Giant watch of my youth came from 🤯 I saw one in a local collector's shop a few months ago for £5 and I still regret to this day not getting it 😭

I thought I could try modelling my handmade jewellery instead of just uploading them alone. What do you think? ❤️

On this day, in 2016, the UK voted in the #EUReferendum to leave the European Union.

Things have never been the same since. As a committed #European, the result broke my heart. I will never “get over it”, nor will I “move on.” The compelling case to rejoin is clear. We need politicians to be honest and admit this. NOW.

Given the threat that President Zelensky is referring to in the previous toot, these 2 Senators are alarmed enough to introduce a resolution: Lindsey Graham and Sen Blumenthal introduced a bipartisan resolution declaring russia's use of nuclear weapons or destruction of the occupied Zaporizhia Nuclear Powerplant in Ukraine to be an attack on NATO requiring the invocation of NATO Article 5

Paramount has cancelled Star Trek: Prodigy and will shop the second season to another network.

Prodigy was a fantastic show with fun characters that could have brought Star Trek to a new audience. Cancelling the show was a dumb move designed to cut short-term costs at the expense of long-term growth.

Excited to watch #ThePerfectFind this weekend! Trying to get my girls together for some wine, popcorn, and a show!

I love moss and I love frogs and I just discovered the cutest thing in existence: the Vietnamese moss frog 🤗

First was Titanic. Next was Titan. So I guess if the pattern follows, don’t get on any vessels named Tit.

Narrator: He would never be President.
