Optical illusion of a woman bent over some papers. Her sunglasses are pushed up and she is wearing a hair band so the top of her head looks exactly like a Muppet face

Sorry I know the world is in a terrible fix but I've been laughing at this for ten minutes now

I don’t want wildly ambitious, thirsty-ass politicians. I want a bunch of fed up bitches who want things fixed properly the first time, so they can get home to work on their latest project.

If everyone had nice little hobbies they were super excited to do whenever they got the chance, the world would suck so much less.

An original Nashville sit-in member, along with Diane Nash, James Bevel, and John Lewis. Trained in non-violence by James Lawson. At age 21, he signed a will before the Freedom Rides, knowing he could die.

May his soul be at peace, and may we all have such courage in the face of oppression.

Look, I know it’s Oklahoma so this would never happen, but I want them all to know they could do the funniest friggin thing.

You might kill some libs with laughter! Surely that’s worth a go! C’mon guys!

lmfao you’re gonna take people’s iced coffee away?!? we might actually get rid of this guy soon if he keeps this shit up.

I should add there may well be ibuprofen-naproxen mixes that are okay dosage wise, I just wouldn’t mix the two without advice from a pharmacist or doctor first.

You can mix different types, but shouldn’t take ibuprofen & naproxen at the same time because they are both the same type (NSAIDs). Tylenol & an NSAID together is generally fine for most people though.

I’m literally fighting off my own corny-meter to write this on here.

You want to bring the forces of cruelty and evil down?

Stand in love because they cannot comprehend it at all.

Move in a way they cannot understand.

Out: Vote Blue No Matter Who

The world is such a mess I just wove all my ends in on two different large knitting projects just to stall on having to read the news.

It would take all of this AND having good quality clothing again. If your shirts pill in the first few times I wash them, the answer on the whole store is no. (Though really they shouldn’t pill at all! They didn’t before!)

What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.

I want better candidates AND I want weird fuckos in California to stop telling me what Mainers think. That’s fucking dipshit behavior, cut it out.

And like, obviously that’s not on the level of other kinds of hate, but it still sucks. And doesn’t make me feel like he’s helping me in any way whatsoever! You’re currently making my life worse, dude! Why should I vote for that?

I don’t know. I want better candidates.

In addition to everything else, Platner churns up so much miserable anti-Maine shit online. Every fucking time he steps on a rake (and he does it A LOT) I know the second I log on because there is yet another orgy of β€˜why is every single Mainer so evil & stupid?!’.

"What do you think of Congress" well I think it would be a good idea

A light-brown and white owl, eyes shut, sits on a wooden shelf between a chicken-shaped cookie bowl and an urn.

I can't provie a full timeline cleanse, but here, courtesy of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and the Associated Press, is an eastern screech owl asleep in an antique store. (The owl was gently, and without incident, removed by NYSDEC and released into nearby woods.)

there's a lot of specific overwhelming and massive crises happening at once and every single one has at its root elites who did crimes and never suffered consequences for it.

When I hoped it would happen today this is not what I fucking meant.

When I burnt out on nursing it was a combo physical illness & poor management of my unit that forced me into stressful situations that took me away from the job I actually loved.

I didn’t graduate & wish there was a robot to hold people’s hands & assess their labor progress! That’s the job!

I continue to be confused by people who spend years training to do a specific job & then turn around & want a robot to do the actual work for them.

If you hate the actual meat of the job, maybe you picked the wrong thing?

Those of us living in Maine or Kansas or Alabama are just all in one hive mind with our worst politicians though, right?!

Do you ever bother to listen yourselves & think about what you sound like? No. Because you suck.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone condemning every person in CA when Gavin does yet another disgusting right-wing thing. Somehow you still count as individual humans. Weird.

Same with Chuck Fucking Schumer being a useless prick.

I guess you’re just too important & cool to toss out.

People living in NY & CA smugly riffing about getting rid of Maine should maybe check out the kind of politicians their own state produces, because it’s not exactly a perfect fucking record, you guys.

Funny how you get to separate yourselves from that, but we don’t.

Right?!? No, I would like a much better third thing, thanks!

This whole thing is incredibly frustrating.

I’m not really in the mood to have people try to talk me in either direction right now & if you aren’t a Mainer in one way or another I’ll likely block you if you try. Sick to death of the most from away people on earth telling me how Mainers will vote. Lol. Do not try me.

She’s a lawyer, she’s cautious & resistant to making major change. That’s the opposite of what we need!

However, that doesn’t mean the better choice is an unknown, unproven guy with poor judgement & no experience or track record!

Both choices suck.

I’d vastly prefer it weren’t Janet running against him. I’m less worried about her age than most people - she seems healthy & sharp & energetic. My objections are based on the kind of politician she is & the choices she’s made while she’s governor.

You know, because I actually live in Maine.

I just wish more people would approach voting like they’re hiring someone to do a job, because…you are!

We don’t just need someone to give good interview, we need someone who will show up & do the work & use good judgement when doing so.
