The EA buyout is illegal under antitrust laws. We don’t want monopolies in the gaming industry. Sign the petition to bring this to the attention of our legislators and ask their help in blocking this!! actionnetwork.org/petitions/bl...

I’m learning to #TunisianCrochet, cause I’ve been stuck on a specific step in my #knitting project. I used to write patterns. So I’m assuming the confusion is due to #burnout making me struggle to interpret something I normally do easily. Trying a “new genre” of yarn art seemed a good work around

Been teaching myself to Tunisian crochet. To be clear, I’m a knitter. I finally learned the Tunisian Knit stitch! I absolutely love seeing alternative ways to achieve that look! #knitting #tunisiancrochet

If Trump can run for a 3rd term, why can’t #mamdani run for president?

Thoughts on the age verification thingy to be able to see messages on here? Currently trying to decide whether to do it or not. I’m super anti all this “being tracked by tech/government” nonsense. Trying to figure out how invasive this particular verification is.

It used to be our patriotic duty to condemn any country committing these acts. Now you’re trying to tell us it’s patriotic to support these same actions, actions of “bad countries,” cause it’s our own country doing it? Tell me “we are the axis” without telling me we are the axis. #wearethebadguysnow
Do you remember all the reasons they used to list for why the “evil countries” were evil growing up?
All that propaganda to get Americans to “know” who the bad guys are. Let’s look at a short list of what made those countries “the bad guys”:
They disappear their own citizens
They fund an overwhelming force of secret police
They prosecute politicians that disagree
or even assassinate politicians who don’t agree
Citizens who speak up face negative repercussions
The right to assemble/ protest doesn’t exist/ is taken away
They deny rights to gay/ trans citizens
They deny rights to women citizens
They deny rights to disabled citizens
Their access to medical care is limited/ unaffordable
Their access to education is limited/ below par
They imprison a marginalized group they’ve decided are the scape goats
The list goes on. Those were reasons we were taught OTHER countries were “bad” or “evil”
Can someone explain to me why USofA achieving ALL OF THOSE POINTS WITHIN 6 MONTHS is not equivalently bad or evil?

Saw an interview with the dad of one of the British ICE detainees. They asked him what he thinks has changed in the US that led to this… what has changed… we have a DICTATOR that’s what changed!! It isn’t safe here. How is USA not on every country’s no travel list now?!

The weather is getting nicer outside. Which is a bittersweet time for me. The shift in the weather toward nice, is bad for my health. The humidity rising with the temperature, is also bad for my health. At least it’s beautiful out. #chronicillness

Why are people so willing to believe we mask out of political spite? I masked well before Covid and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. It never had anything to do with politics, how has that narrative been pushed to the point we are in now?

I hate that my pattern recognition means I predicted all of this back in January of 2020… the number of people angry at me for having predicted this, who at the time said I was being an alarmist, is insane. I wish I had been wrong, so so badly.

Shirley Temple lookin like a capsized whale. If you can believe it, she’s finally starting to lose weight! #rescuesenior #catsky #cat
White cat, extremely rotund. Lying belly up on the back of a couch on top of a fluffy white pet blanket. Ears alert, eyes open. Front paws in Trex mode due to the excessive roundness. Back legs toward the camera as she’s starting to slip off her perch. Don’t worry I caught her after taking the pic

Have to frog the entire sweater I started #knitting the other day. I somehow got distracted and forgot which side was RS and which side was WS. That’s what I get for only knitting in the round for years

The ban is a tactic we’ve previously seen used by Reagan… it feels like people are falling for it everywhere I look. It’s also setting a precedent to do with free speech. But let’s not forget who and why it’s actually happening… please? Please, can we not collectively fall for this tactic?

Socrates is having asthma issues today. So she’s being a clingy baby #cats
White cat in frame. Sitting between propped up legs in dark grey sweatpants with white pant strings. White cat has body facing camera lounging against the human’s leg head turned for profile view. Closest ear tilted back, farthest one is flattened, whiskers in a grimace position and eyes closed one paw stretched up toward the camera one claw hooked in grey pants for stability

My reason for disappointment about the Sims announcement stream is how short it was. They cut out Mersea doing all her various bits, no word of the day, etc. I love what they DID show and I loved the addition of Shawnee and #thesims4 streamers
