Californians, you have a very important job to do. Spread the word on why everyone should vote YES ON PROP 40 and no on 41 and 42. If you're confused about these propositions, billionaires like Sergey Brin and Peter Thiel want it that way. Here's a good explainer: www.tiktok.com/t/ZPL1pponT/

Remember these things! Newsom is not our friend, no matter how many spicy jabs his team takes at Trump on social media.

Indeed. Maybe we need to address why we allow rape houses on college campuses where our young people go to learn? 🤔

Looking at my bsky posts, gas is up *fifty cents* in *three weeks* This ARCO station is typically the cheapest in town, tied or a couple cents more expensive than Costco. I notice it because I pass it on my way to work. Usually gas isn't on my radar; it costs what it costs. But this is wild.

ARCO up to $6.09 today! Ten cents in two days.

"But accountability is *expensive*...who cares if it's child victims who lose again?" Another reason he can get in the sea. Here's to term limits, and California warns everyone not to let this jerk aim any higher!!

@danacorn.bsky.social So my eldest is working in my library this week and one of the students returned Phoebe & Her Unicorn. He picked it up and was absolutely delighted. He says it gives him the Calvin & Hobbes feels from his own childhood, and he's so glad my patrons have Phoebe and Marigold! 💚

And a hearty thanks to Pokémon for making sure the Aunties and grandparents can actually get cards for the kiddies this year, instead of going everywhere & finding them SOLD OUT because of jerks like these. You're hoping to get rich, my nephew just wants to play with his friends.

Seriously, fuck this guy. He better not run for president. Make it clear now that he absolutely doesn't have your vote.

LOOK AT THIS FUCKING SHIT. The easiest way to tell that trans women are women is that the right is so desperate to control what they do with their bodies. WE HAVE EVERYTHING IN COMMON.

If you took meaningful steps to regulate car dealerships, the supplement industry, realtors, and multi level marketing schemes, you’d make a huge change in politics, and largely only be targeting scammers people dislike anyway.

Sage words from a dude who has never earnestly set foot in a grocery store or filled up a gas tank in recent memory. I hope the voting public at large thinks about this when they consider giving these assholes 'another chance.'

So with no due respect, absolutely nobody needs to accept that status "for the greater good." We know where that leads. Shut this shit down. Human rights are for EVERYONE.

and after the union wins? you go back and you tip hard and you show the company it was the workers who made them their money, and that they're nothing without the workers! super simple equation! Solidarity with Starbucks Workers United, 12,000 strong and growing!

Yo. This is the union calling for a boycott. Here in America people like to say "Well I was already boycotting Starbucks!" No you were not. You were just choosing not to buy their stuff. That is not a boycott. A boycott is an organized, collective activity. "I" don't boycott: we do.

YES! I had to *teach* myself to read GN effectively; it takes a whole different type of focus and when I talk to kids who read them? They pick up points I still miss! This is authentic reading + visual decoding, and it's a critical 21st C literacy skill. (In fact it's part of CA grade 5 standards)

The only purity problem here was people thinking they were too pure to ever be treated like the citizens their bigotry told them they were better than.

Things I was frightened of when I was a child: nuclear war the termalite man (had our house tented for termites when I was pretty small, I guess that left an unspecified 'guy' in my head?) having toy guns pointed at me (was raised by hunters/competition shooters; gun safety was big in our house)

Weekend plans? Yes!
A hand holds the book Wickhills by Premee Mohamed.

Cover illustration features vague, layered Gothic architecture with lots of lanterns and three central mask-like carvings above arched windows. There are icicles dangling from the mouths of two of the faces, and from various surfaces of the architecture. 

Quote at the bottom reads, 'a triumph of the imagination. ' -Adrian Tchaikovsky

I kind of felt like we passed this point the year we observed a moment of silence at the elementary school...and we realized that none of the students in the buildings were even born when it happened. That was the last year my campus did the formal/awkward moment of silence thing.

In Massachusetts, we have a responsibility to protect the vulnerable and stand up for those who need it. We don’t throw trans kids under the bus for political points. We protect them—and all of our neighbors—because trans rights are human rights.

Just paid *$5.60* a gallon at the dang ARCO station. This is out of hand. I hope everyone remembers who's responsible when it comes time to vote 😾 This is unsustainable. And diesel was over $8, so...all the food, etc. we need moves on diesel. Wild.

RS with your home river The Sacramento River, one of two rivers that meet in California's capital. Both are lovely, but I chose this one because it has our iconic Tower Bridge, a fun landmark. Have spent many hours hiking, biking, and camping along the banks of the Sacramento & the American!
The Sacramento River and the iconic Tower Bridge. Photo by Trey Ratcliff.

Photo features a waterfront at sunset, buildings lit by the low late rays. The sky is a deepening blue and the large golden bridge is highlighted in the calm water of the river. The bridge features two towers that support a central lift deck. The deck allows taller ships to pass by on the river when it is raised.
