I have never prior to this moment been remotely on board with Kamala Harris, but I’m now fully Kamala pilled. She’s the only acceptable choice and can win

I’ve gotten two different cases in the last 6 months involving clients getting in trouble with their landlords for leaving Fabuloso boiling on their stove. Apparently this is an odor control thing? I’m utterly mystified by my clients doing this

I am having trouble imagining the scope of the harm from overruling Chevron. The mechanisms of progress feel like they could be dismantled very soon. I feel despondent

It feels like the median downtown Minneapolis bike commuter is half as fast as me while also being twice as risky about running lights. Like no, I’m not going to go straight through a protected left turn!

There is no amount of increasing border enforcement or deporting people that will ever make the American right wing believe the border is being properly handled by a democratic president. Any compromise on this is just a signal that they can demand more & keep the issue live. Immoral, bad politics.

I can’t get over Trump/his kids calling the US a shithole over the verdict. They hate you and me and the things we value! Freaks and losers, all of them

they fired me for googling Jon Arbuckle from the work wifi "you should already know about him"

Listening to basketball games on the radio is such freak behavior of me, but sometimes it really hits. It’s weirdly nostalgic!

Once again struck that we are expected to take some statement by random student as definitive of the aims of pro-Palestianians but are required to discount the explicitly genocidal ravings of an actual Israeli minister as hyperbolic and irrelevant to assessing the aims of the Israeli government

Elation as cool underdog Yale beat Auburn, followed by revulsion as I remembered that the team is literally Yale and the fans in the crowd went to Yale

As someone who does not buy ziploc bags, I love when someone gives me something in a ziploc bag so it can be added to the collection of mostly clean containers that I reuse

With a genocide case pending before the ICJ, Israeli government ministers attend a far-right confab in Jerusalem to promote the Israeli resettlement of Gaza and the displacement of the Palestinian population.

This is an incredibly disturbing story. www.wsj.com/world/middle...

Sometimes you just need to have a big piece of cardboard sitting around the house, just in case

Now’s the time of year when my clients start mentioning going to places like H&R Block to get their tax refunds and I want to yell at them to run the other way and not pay crazy fees for their incredibly simple tax situation

I hate the tax credit method of affordable housing so fucking much. Tenants don’t understand it, landlords don’t manage it well, and it isn’t even actually fucking affordable! Complete nonsense

The Grinch is honestly such a skilled seamster

Eyyy I’m looking and despairing here!

I feel so bad for my downstairs neighbor, who surely heard me drop a 15 mm wrench roughly a dozen times over the course of me swapping out my bike pedals

Oh god the big day is tomorrow and I haven’t listen to Vince Guaraldi’s Thanksgiving Theme even once

I want to ride my bike so bad but instead I’m stuck inside vindicating my clients’ rights as tenants
