So what exactly is the point of this then???? A decorative slab of wood? 🤔🤔🤔 #fail

Out Congressman RitchieTorres is introducing a bill called the Stop Another Non-Truthful Office Seeker (SANTOS) and I think we should nickname it the Santos Claus. 🤣

I could never do stand-up because I imagine it would be very similar to whenever I do karaoke where I get on stage, panic, and start shouting NWA lyrics while a Dolly Parton song plays in the background.

Me to my adult responsibilities today: I don’t wanna and you can’t make me!

Update: Apparently they can, indeed, make me. Welp.

My favorite #mosscapes resemble scaled-down scenes. This looks to me like a green field with dozens of pine trees. I can’t explain the huge dried leaf in the left foreground. #Mosstodon

Normally I’m sceptical of these things, but I have tested this one and it really works.

“Seriously, Phyllis? You don’t think it looks too big?”

“No, Carl. Don’t be silly! It makes you look distinguished.”

Trans kiddos need only to be loved and affirmed, they need us to come together to bring safe and affirming communities for them to reality, trans kiddos need decision makers to protect and defend them, trans youth need only ever know what it is to be their most true, authentic, and affirmed selves.

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

“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.
