So popular

So you’re telling me it’s not Saturday?!

The most boring “holiday”.

Patiently waiting for the day when my 9 year old realizes that she would have a lot of fun learning how to program. I have decided to not hold my breath for her wanting me to teach her about music. Maybe in high school?!

If you have recurring monthly donations to, say, Planned Parenthood or the ACLU, please consider shifting that money to abortion funds where it can do the most immediate good

Abortion Fund Leaders Have A Stark Warning For Allwww.huffpost.com After the overturn of Roe v. Wade, donations flowed to abortion funds, but over time the money has dried up -- endangering care for people across the country.

My 3 year old son constantly tells me loves me. “Mommy! Mommy! I love you! I love you all time!” It’s everything middle school me thought a relationship was supposed to be.

Damnit, Doggett. Can a fellow Austinite please yell at him? I’ve had to yell at McCaul for years. It’s only fair.

Bold to be the first Dem legislator to call for Biden to step down the day after SCOTUS granted the president "kill your enemies" authority.

Ask yt people to treat us as your equals and y’all become unhinged

The United States has always been a democracy for some and a brutal authoritarian regime for others, and the effort to expand it to democracy for all has led to a 70+ year backlash culminating in SCOTUS claiming that kings are totes cool and also judges are the ones to coronate them

It's important to note that Trump tried to order this at least twice we know of during his regime.

right. the president could order troops to suppress protesters using live fire and the supreme court would extend that absolute immunity

I know people are like shocked. But the Right said they were going to do this and the Left just made jokes about it or were angrily disconnected. Well, rich white people because they aren't used to having things taken away from them by power.

Yeah it’s not like we’ll see a repeat of 1968, when the Democrats downshifted to a Vice President at a convention in Chicago that was plagued by protests against the party’s support for an unpopular foreign war and wound up creating an opening for a candidate they’d beat before. Totally different!

YES THAT WORKED SO WELL AND DID NOT AT ALL THROW THE PARTY INTO A DIVISIVE NOMINATION CONTEST AND LOST ELECTION THAT WOULD HAUNT IT FOR THE NEXT HALF CENTURY

"we never used to have all these women in their 30s suddenly getting diagnosed with ADHD" listen, I wouldn't have even noticed I have ADHD if I lived in an era where my doctor could ask if I want to lose 5lbs and then hand me enough amphetamines to see the face of God

My daughter always says “search it up” instead of Google and it cracks me up but also sounds way better. “Search it up, mom!!”

While we’re playing make believe politics, Elizabeth Warren just called me and told me she’d sub in for Biden. Glad we figured this all out not at all too late and without dangerous cynicism.

I ate peanut butter right before I got a bad stomach bug. I guess I’m forever done eating peanut butter now.

Just accidentally caught some of the debate on TikTok. It’s what you’d expect.

Grumpily pedaling on this damn one till I get to 9 miles. Ughhhhhh

Idaho doubled down on the idea that women and pregnant people have to be on the brink of death before they can have an abortion—even if, say, their water breaks at 16 weeks and the fetus isn't viable. People are getting airlifted out of state. www.susanrinkunas.com/us-v-idaho-e...

Juneteenth does not celebrate "When news of the end of slavery finally reached Texas." Juneteenth celebrates when the racist people in Texas that tried to hold on to slavery for as long as they could even after it was abolished, finally couldn't keep up the lie anymore.

An old HS friend died earlier this year. His sister put together a video and I was shocked to stumble across a picture of me. I didn’t recognize myself. Harper said she recognized my face but is a lot smaller and I look like a teenager. RIP, Justin.

Potty training & Donald Ducking

Up until like my 20s I was convinced you can just pay an expensive enough lawyer to get out of a crime. Not sure why I thought that, prolly bc I was white & middle class. I suspect a lot of Trump supporters feel the same & genuinely think he’s being persecuted. Weird how systemic truths feel real.

Workout clothes on, water bottle filled, outside sitting in chair beside the bike. But will she, ladies and gents, take that 2 feet journey onto the peloton?
