🫡 Thx @melissaryan.bsky.social!
@pamspaulding.bsky.socialReposted by @melissaryan.bsky.socialHonestly, I don't know that most people even remember that Pam's House Blend existed! In Internet years, 2013 is a *long time ago*.
Thank you, @melissaryan.bsky.social, for motivating me to kick open the crypt door to attempt a long-form piece.
Best on your wonderful recovery!

@stpauldeb.bsky.socialReposted by @melissaryan.bsky.socialStaggering hypocrisy. They ruined the lives of everyone they touched. Their victims got a life sentence. They remain unpunished.

@nicholasgrossman.bsky.socialReposted by @melissaryan.bsky.socialUh oh, did someone’s website and personal account experience a big drop in activity after Ukraine hit a Russian data center?
@melissaryan.bsky.socialMaybe the fact that it's not what we do in this country is how we got here. But what would I know?
@greene.hausReposted by @melissaryan.bsky.socialMaybe reactionary centrists and pundit soothsayers should nut up and realize that Nazi is a term in discourse b/c the U.S. has a governing far right that acts and talks like Nazis, with opponents who call for justice because that far right appears to serially and flagrantly break laws.
@wewill2026.bsky.socialReposted by @melissaryan.bsky.socialI’m joining the call to Investigate DOGE. In Congress, I’ll work to root out corruption across the federal government and make sure our government puts you first, not the GOP’s billionaire donors.
@jmberger.comReposted by @melissaryan.bsky.socialSorry, but are we still doing "look at the dapper white supremacist" in the year of our lord 2026? The president and vice president are the most important white supremacists in the world and they only wear suits.

@melissaryan.bsky.socialCool that we learned absolutely nothing from the last decade.
@melissaryan.bsky.socialLogistics are how I cope with pretty much everything.
@melissaryan.bsky.socialEmbracing the "my job is cancer" era. These days most of my zoom calls are with doctors, nurses, and social workers. Most of my paperwork is related to treatment. I'm still not comfortable saying that I'm kicking cancer's ass but I am kicking cancer logistics in the ass.
@melissaryan.bsky.socialReposted by @melissaryan.bsky.socialOne good thing about being on medical leave is that it lets me feature some of my favorite writers and activists. Today we have a guest post from, @lolgop.bsky.social, written for CARD, about one of my favorite topics: bitter divorced billionaires and their far more sane exes. Enjoy!
