I wish when an executive said they took full responsibility for layoffs, they meant that they were cutting their pay by 1/2 or stepping down. Not having a big, hard feeling.

https://t.me/liveukraine_eng/4065 ⚠️🇩🇪Germany has provided Ukraine with another military aid package, according to an updated list on the government's website.
It was sent to Ukraine:
📍20 missile systems of 70 mm caliber on pickup trucks with missiles;
📍30 drone detection systems;
📍8 reconnaissance drones;
📍7 tracked and remotely operated infantry vehicles for support missions;
📍63 pickup trucks;
(More) #Ukraine #News #War #Russia

i simply do not understand why people have such strong support for #Ukraine but there is so little support for #Palestine

isn't #Israel doing the exact same thing as #Russia?

can someone please explain the difference between the two situations?

Sometimes I go to restaurants and pretend it’s my birthday so they put a free dessert on or something

I call it a Santos

In case anyone wondered about this image used on https://Mvskoke.social

This is a digital reproduction of a historical site in Georgia known as Okmulgee. Mvskoke ancestors built large earthen mounds at Okmulgee and lived there long before Europeans arrived in North America.

“No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love.”
- Nelson Mandela, (b. 1918 - d. 2013), South African anti-apartheid activist

Today is #NationalRibbonSkirtDay, inspired by Isabella Kulak, an Ojibwe (Saulteaux) girl from Cote First Nation.

I'm proud to wear a #RibbonSkirt made by my sister to celebrate our connections to #Secwépemc land and culture. The one Dana is wearing is made by Cheyenne Lazore, a Kanienʼkehá꞉ka (#Mohawk) artist. #Indigenous

So reckless that The New York Times would do this.

It's not "diversity of opinion." It's promoting hate against families, children.

Kevin McCarthy is reminding us: You can NOT appease fascists! After Jan 6, McCarthy slammed Trump. But 2 weeks later he was at Mar-a-Lago groveling to Trump. McCarthy could've done right thing for America, instead he picked MAGA and lost! He DESERVES IT! My new article: https://deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/kevin-mccarthy-is-reminding-us-that

Things that mean "yes"

-Oh go on then
-If you're having one
-I shouldn’t really
-If we have to
-It's not for me to say
-It'll have to be quick
-Be rude not to
-Just this once
-I won’t say no
-I don’t see why not
-You’ve twisted my arm
-If you insist

@ScottSoCal @TinCanWin possibly. Or they might think YOU are a predator with a captive bird.

Had a dream last night that I met Hugh Grant on Grafton St and I persuaded him to make a film just about Benoit Blanc and his sourdough baking husband.

I can confirm Hugh is totally on for it and hopes to both produce & direct the film 😆

REMINDER: Steve Scalise’s life was saved by a Black lesbian Capitol cop who covered his body with her own while she was shot in the process.   Then Scalise voted against the #EqualityAct. TWICE. That is all you need to know about him. #SteveScaliseIsTrash #NeverSteveScalise

Steph just invited QAnon cult member Lauren Boebert to come back to discuss her feelings about “red flag laws.”

Then Steph did a little monologue about how “we just want to understand what’s going on in Congress and that’s why we had her on.”

Give me a break. That’s what actual journalism is for. This was a bush league ratings grab. Why does absolutely everything have to suck?

Hi astro mastodon!

I write mostly about my experience as a PhD student, being a latina scientist, and science!

The Internet is savage! 😂😂

Hey friends - I am in Antarctica with extremely slow and limited internet and I have a book coming out this year that I'd normally be posting more about because pre-orders are *critical* to a book's success.

Help me get the word out?
