I won’t share RFK Jr.’s lies about autism. It’s disgusting and dangerous. If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign. Autistic people contribute every day to our nation’s greatness. To every kid with autism, I’m in this fight all the way for you.

The news coming out of the US just gets grimmer and grimmer. I am seriously unimpressed (though I hear Moscow is thrilled…) #StandWithUkraine

Ok, so, I’ve made a discovery. Power washing the Queen of Hearts croquet area in VR whilst listening to Sia blast in my ears whilst I do it is -zen-as-fuckado-. Seriously. Cancel your thearpist, get yourself some VR goggles and get to power washing whilst jamming. Totally an epic brain zen moment

For those of you who don’t know, I’m a total ink junky (fountain pen ink). I also firmly believe in spending my money where it matters. So today I’m highlighting BENU. They left Russia when Russia invaded Ukraine. So not only are the pens mega but so are their values.

Ok hive mind! I have a question. Do any of you know of anything in the nespresso-pod universe (shape, not brand) that’s decaf but not coffee? Also looking for good green tea pods, from matcha to gyokuro. & really I’d be down with any other fun pod Thanks in advance! In Prince’s Funky name, Amen.

Question for my lovely fibre artists #knittersofbsk #knitting #crochet Do any of you know of a yarn that’s comparable to Louisa Harding Amitola (either DK or grande, not the brush stuff). Complete with the lovely colour fades… Please and thank you 🧶

Dear MAGA, The inauguration will be a private affair. Just Trump & the broligarchs in the rotunda. No seating for you. No special events to acknowledge your support. Not to worry. There will be emails later urging you to buy Trump coins, shoes, bibles, hats etc. Keep that cash coming. Be best.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez didn’t apologize as she made her case to become the top Democrat on the high-profile House Oversight Committee. She did tell her colleagues that she had “matured” and understood that a leadership role required additional responsibilities to support the whole caucus.

Is this AOC’s moment?
Democrats are split on Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York), but some say they’ll need her cooperation to help take back the House.
