Had a dream last night that I got an email from @frankconniff.bsky.social with the subject line "Sarcasm Due." My subconscious declined to open the email.

Sometimes my wife and I like to send each other text messages as though they’re democratic fundraising messages, and I believe she has produced the jewel of the form.

, it's
and I
have some personal news to share with you.
Being a mom is one of the greatest joys of my life, and I feel deeply that we should have salad tonight
This year has been challenging in many ways, and I have immense gratitude for the kindness and support of family, community, and people like you who have continued to stand by me through everything. It means the world, and I wanted you to be among the first to know that squash is in the oven and kale is in the fridge.

As many of you are aware, ve been navigating one of the most challenging periods of my day while waiting for dinner.
Facing baseless federal hunger brought on by not eating since lunch, fighting for the working kids of this country, and now caring for a mean toddler and helping him grow up in a world that isn't always easy. But it has also reminded me exactly why I do this work and who I do it for.
I will never stop working to eat dinner. I will never stop fighting for what is right, even when there is also some feta in the fridge. And I will never stop being so very thankful that you are by my side in this important work and that there is tahini in the pantry for dressing
With love and gratitude,
stop to end

It’s an NFL Sunday, which means it’s the perfect time to confirm your voter registration status. Or to register to vote. Or to request your mail in ballot. Then, vote early. But, vote. Like your life depends on it. Because in so many ways, it does.

And the deadline to register to vote in AR, MS, OH, TN & TX is *TOMORROW* Oct 5! Louisiana is also today (in person, but not online) and Montana registration by mail must be postmarked by today. There are so many caveats across the states. Just get registered today! ❤️

A parallel of screencaps from Taylor Swift’s “Patient Zero” music video and Severance. In the top shot, the man’s statue is on a pedestal as Taylor and Dakota look up at him in a cold, open room. In the bottom shot, Helena Eagan is walking into a cold, empty room, her back facing toward the camera.

As possibly the only Swiftie and Police fan in existence, I feel the most qualified to speculate. It would not surprise me if one day Taylor said, "You know what this song needs? A lute. Who's a good lute player?"

Screenshot from Taylor Swift's Emmy's skit. This is a close-up on the second corkboard with a pined poster for "Saturday Night Live" and a post-it that reads "Musical Guest - Sting?"

You can't blame Ed Sheeran for caving in to American stadium owners I suppose. I mean, take these guys in the 60s, they refused to play to racially-segregated audiences in stadiums in the southern states of the USA and who remembers them now?
