That time I tweeted that most women of my generation and younger have nudes, and that we shouldn’t penalize them, but scorn the people that leak them. It went very viral and then my boss called and fired me and then an hour later I got another call from telling me I definitely wasn’t fired.

Reskeet with a tweet you still think about

It’s unimaginable to me that anyone can survive a Texas summer without AC at this point. It’s not just uncomfortable it’s a massive health risk.

As with most evils, that goes double for Texas, where is once again the season of torturing and randomly killing prisoners by barbarically cooking them to death in their cells www.texastribune.org/2024/04/22/t...

Texas inmates are being ‘cooked to death’ in extreme heat, complaint …www.texastribune.org With the threat of another hot summer ahead, advocates asked a federal judge to declare 100-degree-plus conditions in uncooled Texas facilities unconstitutional.

I don’t drink often, but apparently a 1/2 cup of tequila is too much for one drink that also has 6oz of champagne.

Waffles is the strangest dog. It’s like full grand finale poppin off out here and he’s just chillin. Won’t go inside.

My husband asked me to make him a Fourth of July cake, which was pretty anti-Indigenous if you ask me.

Are cherries on your #July4 menu? They come thanks to workers like Pablo who shared this pic from where he was harvesting cherries in Yakima WA. He works piece rate. This means he rushes to pick as many as possible while getting the quality growers require. #WeFeedYou

Can you air fry a hot dog?

I love that my new vacuum comes with instructions to not pick up fire. Who did this. Who.

I normally don’t critique someone’s appearance, but the author of that piece is one scurvy ass looking mother fucker Like, fine, don’t vote, maybe eat some citrus fruits and wash your hair

Feels like a good time for a reminder that you should have at least a gallon of potable water, per person, for ideally two weeks, on hand in your home. If you don’t have a ton of space, they sell stackable 5 gallon water containers for $10 at Walmart. Also get a water filter, like a Sawyer Mini.

Saying “boozhoo” in Anishinaabemowin (we are also on both sides of the colonial border.)

Remember that Native nations don't conform to US colonial borders. The Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) are split between NY and Canada. The Tohono O'odham and Yaqui are split between Arizona and Mexico. To be Indigenous predates and is beyond the 4th of July

4th of July in Kotzebue: Baby contest, Miss Arctic Circle, & Arctic Circle contests started last night. Baby contest is named after my Aunt Louvie, master sewer and my dad's hunting partner until she passed in 2007/8. My cousin Shyena Lie is in the first baby pic, then representations of diff styles

OK Bluesky comrades, who can afford to donate at least $5 a month to @psabortionfund.bsky.social? They are an all-volunteer led abortion fund based in South Carolina. They do such good work. Will you join me as monthly subscribers? donorbox.org/support-the-... - they need a min of $10,000 a month.

Watching the Tour de France on Fourth of July feels like a good way to not celebrate being an American.

Since 2019 I've liked to remind you that we should work to break up not just ICE, but abolish the entire DHS. It's a post-9/11 reactionary agency that needs to be destroyed. www.cnn.com/2019/07/04/o...

Why don't they call veterinarians dogtors

I wish more of you watched the Tour de France, so you could have gotten a wee bit of joy today as Mark Cavendish rid himself of the curse Eddie Merckx put on him.

Every single time I've been online this past week, there's been some significant number of interactions that are just shitty & wearying & outright fucking hostile for no goddamn reason & I know we're scared, & I know things are terrible, but get your shit together, fix your hearts, & work on helping

After four days of compulsive research I purchase a Dyson v15 Detect. Please don’t say anything negative about my choice or I might spiral.

I am having a terrible hyperfocus about buying a vacuum. All of the reviews contradict each other. I want a stick vacuum because we don’t really have a place to store a canister, but all the vacuum nerds say they are best. Anyone have a stick vacuum you love? We’ve got like 75% concrete & rugs.

If people don't understand how crucial local abortion funds are to folks actually getting their procedures or pills, here's the latest example: National Abortion Federation and Planned Parenthood are slashing patient grants from 50% to 30% of what callers need. Thirty percent.

More info from my local, the DC Abortion Fund, about why they're cutting back their hours and service area

If you, like me, have been saddened by Panera’s removal of their death lemonades, I’m pleased to announce that Smoothie King has now introduced their own death lemonades.

When it comes to eating the rich and who wants to do the eating, I feel like the “is it vegan to eat a vegan?” question may come up quite a bit.

I just realized that after two years of waiting, my #KidLit book comes out NEXT MONTH. This Land is my answer to "This Land Is Our Land," a way for you to talk to kids you love about land theft and the displacement of Indigenous people from the lands we've called home since time immemorial.

Once I saw a dude podcaster arguing with his lady co host that the New York marathon was absolutely longer than the Boston marathon and he knew because he had run them both and that's the best example I can think of to explain men
