Yeah agreed. If I were doing decorated I’d do sugar cookies, otherwise choc chip. Which no one fucking decorates thise

Tedra Osell @tedos.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
Usually I watch GBBO and think, I could never. But all these ppl saying 30 American cookies in 2 hours feels like a lot?!? (Admittedly the idea of decorating cookies is dumb unless it’s a holiday but still)

The thing I most don’t understand about men is why, when a story about SA comes out, they identify with the perpetrator rather than the victim

Having spent last week herding teenagers around the valley I have spent all day today on the couch in front of a fan intermittently napping. I am getting too old to keep up with kids in 100-degree heat

“Flawed” is “has/d a drug problem”, not “drugged and raped teenagers.” A person can do both good and bad things but it’s hard to say someone is a “mensch” when they’ve drugged and raped teenage girls, come the fuck on

Restorative justice doesn't mean "nothing bad ever happens to you." It means, "in determining what happens from here on out, we center the needs of your victim to repair what happened to them over your own needs."

People with disabilities are more likely to be sexually assaulted, but there are few accessible resources talking about sexual assault and how to get help. Our plain language & Easy Read Toolkit “What Do I Need to Know About Sexual Assault?” is out: autisticadvocacy.org/resources/pr...

It’s absolutely unforgivable that parents are forced to relinquish their children to the state to try to get them the care they need. And that this isn’t a national emergency that we are throwing money at. Fuck this country

Torturing children to death. Not an exaggeration

Here’s a thought: maybe let’s stop framing taxes as punishment. “Tax the billionaires!” implies that taxes are punishment for greed. How about, paying taxes is fucking patriotic. Use the phrase, “put your money where your mouth is.”

Dear god the horror of this story. There is no hell hot enough for Paxton and his ilk. May he die in full conscious agony on a hot sidewalk with people casting dirty looks at him for the inconvenience of stepping around his body as they pass

My personal version of this is I am in LA this week for a semiannual work thing and my usual strategy of packing maybe 3 outfits so I can rewear things has been foiled by sweat so I had to go to a sale rack I can walk to to pick up an extra top :-/

What’s impossible to let go about ppl like that is that they’re running the fucking country. And even if they were out of power nationally, they’ve been running a lot of shit for the entire history of this damn country

Today’s NYT reporting that Maj Jason Watson will likely be court martialled. But I am linking this somewhat older article bc this: “In the grand scheme of things, I’m just a nobody. What matters far more than who I am is what I have to say and the price I’m willing to pay to say it.”

if you’re a dude thinking “i’ve never done anything disgusting” (citations needed) then you’ve more than likely sat there quietly while your friend did something disgusting or bragged about doing something disgusting. you cannot absolve yourself.
