The current argument at the other place is that it started last year and was inevitable.

I love that my girls buy slime—w their own money—from neighbor friends, just to be supportive, even though they make their own.

There’s only so much brow beating one can take from other countries before believing that maybe we SHOULD be isolating from the world. Gotta say, foreign upport for the resistance is…underwhelming.

I have said from Day 1 that most of these guys are killed when they land. No way they are feeding and housing that many men in that facility. It is a death camp.

Y’all, X is full of flat earthers claiming space travel is staged, and ppl over here are like “We have to impeach T and fight for the SCOTUS ruling.” We’re living in different realities, folks.

All I can find is Beaver Made or Buy Can. Would those work in the states?

There’s a great Canadian app called “Buy Beaver” (I know, eh?! 🦫) which has recently been updated to allow users to select countries to support and/or countries to boycott, by scanning bar codes as you shop. It’s free, and easy to use.
Screenshot of App Store search result for “Buy Beaver” app:  title “Buy Beaver: Origin Scanner” with a rating of 4.7/5 stars, to the right of the logo for the app. Logo is a brown cartoon beaver holding a globe.

Many products sold in the U.S. are made in El Salvador. In response to the El Salvador president’s statements today, we’re calling for an immediate boycott of all Salvadoran-made goods. Please help by listing any products or brands made in El Salvador in the comments below.

This is also why Trump rejected being called “kind,” calling it an “old fashioned” word.

@marytaggartvt.bsky.social caught me misspelling “Begals” as “Bangles,” and now we want to invest in a Taylor Swift NFL team named after bracelets.

I have been cultivating crow friends all year using peanuts. It’s a slow process. They are very distrustful but I get closer every day. They now knock on the window of my office.

A Shaggy song just came on the radio, immediately transporting me to when I didn’t think about politics every day, despite living in DC, and life was one big party. I am sad that young ppl don’t have simpler times. #throwback

Sometimes, I think about how my dad’s gold-digging 3rd wife consulted lawyers before sending me—a writer—my dead dad’s unfinished novel manuscript, like it might be worth millions. Go ahead, lady, try shopping that half-draft. See how that goes.

I have several shelved projects—since I write timely stories they sometimes become outdated if they sit too long.
