“Madam Facilitator” I like cooking, travel, history, ridiculously large brooches, old buildings, romance novels, baseball, and cats. I would die for my country of Philadelphia (suburban edition) she/her Go Phils

Wars are not a particular focus of my history interests, but if you’re interested in American Civil War stuff? You need Rob’s threads in your life. They’re so good

Massive fan of School of Rock here, it's given both my kids all the benefits of team sports without the competition part. Love to see a Jayson byline too.

I will admit I don't care for Blink 182 (just not my taste!) but it is truly something to hear a stadium full of people sing to this guy in appreciation of the music he created and the joy he brought to their lives. Impacting so many other humans positively like this has to feel amazing

however the election shakes out, a minor lesson of 2026 is that maine is basically an alien planet where everyone is a grumpy old salt retiree at birth and we should consider giving them to canada as an apology and goodwill gesture for what we did to the Expos

I’m sorry but it’s so funny to me the big twist in the movie is she’s buried in a mall. That’s a mall down there. One that barely lets you escape

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

I will also admit that the church with the Bernini is far from the only sightseeing spot I’ve picked because it was in a book or used as a filming location

Whit EM @whittyrem.bsky.social · 16h
I admit I once made the time to see Bernini’s Ecstasy of Saint Teresa because of that book I haven’t read it since it first came out but maybe I’ll do a quick plane re-read

When you’re sightseeing sometimes you have to make a choice to see something quickly or not see it at all. I am firmly in the see it quickly camp. If you ever find yourself with only 90 minutes to visit the Louvre, might I recommend the Louvre Express

Gandalf at Helm's Deep knows his ass just got saved by the Ents. He's squinting in disbelief and clutching his staff like he thinks someone will steal it on the subway. He's speaking, with a speech bubble, so that he's saying the words quoted below.

M messed up this piece and was going to squish it completely but I decided I liked the wonky shape so he glazed it for me

I am not saying I think Catholicism is the one true religion. I am not saying I think the pope is right on everything. I am not saying that I’m not agnostic anymore. I *AM* saying that I’m getting close to changing my position on whether god has more important things to worry about than sports

I don’t care where you started out on the political spectrum If your kid comes out as trans & you don’t become a rainbow-clad, parade-cheering ally & rock-solid supportive girl/boy/enby dad/mom? You were never a parent at all You were a doll collector furious they didn’t stay in their packaging.
